Test MetAphAs. Metalinguagem na Avaliação da Afasia

2020

Test MetAphAs. Metalinguagem na Avaliação da Afasia (Rosell-Clari & Hernández-Sacristán, 2020) es una versión adaptada al portugués y abreviada de Rosell Clari & Hernández Sacristán, 2014). Esta prueba fue desarrollada inicialmente para evaluar las habilidades metalingüísticas naturales en personas con afasia (Hernández-Sacristán, Rosell-Clari, Serra-Alegre y Quiles-Climent, 2012). Las habilidades metalingüísticas naturales se refieren al uso del lenguaje que revela reflexividad (Hockett, 1960); es decir, la distancia perceptiva del hablante con respecto a su propio comportamiento verbal (Werner & Kaplan, 1978). Esta autoconciencia del lenguaje nos permite monitorear nuestros propios compor…

Contextes scolaires africains : de l'influence française à l'autodétermination ?

2012

Cet article propose une typologie de l'offre de scolarisation en Afrique francophone, à partir d'un postulat qui l'appréhende comme un ensemble réunissant en lui plus de permanences et de similitudes que de singularités. Cette unicité cimentée par le partage d'une histoire commune (colonisation, mode de mise en place de l'école) permet l'analyse des postures enseignantes et parentales face à un choix possible d'école. Conduite essentiellement dans trois pays africains, le Burkina Faso, Djibouti et le Tchad, la recherche présentée dans ce texte s'appuie d'une part sur les résultats de différentes observations, enquêtes et entretiens approfondis menés dans ces trois pays et référés à des prat…

Conséquences socio-économiques de la dracunculose : esquisse d'une méthode du coût économique de cette maladie

1983

Dracunculiasis brings about repercussions on the social :- repercussions on mind : the disease is perceived by the people as a disease of fate, an illness caused by an enemy- social disorganization because of assistance to patients by the community members who are not affected- school absenteeism with its results- sterility caused by some localizations and which may have inffuence on demography.The economic repercussions, which are obvious because of the disability caused by the disease during agricultural activities could never be assessed to the true price. A sufficiently precise method for assessment is suggested here. The calculation of cost of agricultural loss in the community involve…

Comparisonof the effects of six-week time-restricted eating on weight loss, body composition, and visceral fat in overweight older men and women

2023

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a six-week time-restricted eating (TRE) intervention in reducing body weight, fat loss, and visceral fat in overweight, older adult men and women (age range = 65-74 years). Another objective was to determine the feasibility of widespread use of TRE in older women and men. The study randomly assigned 116 healthy, non-smoking participants to one of two conditions: TRE or educational control participants. Participants in the TRE group were instructed to not consume calorie containing beverages or food for 16 h per day, from 8:00 pm to 12:00 pm. Participants in the control group were instructed to follow a meal plan based on their prev…

Necrotizing fasciitis of the face: A life-threatening condition

2009

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a highly aggressive infectious process, polymicrobial in nature, involving soft tissues with a high risk of rapid spread through superficial and deep fascial planes and muscular layers. Cervical NF is quite rare, is mostly of odontogenic origin, and may be complicated by descendant mediastinitis with a very high mortality rate. Systemic conditions impairing the patient's immune competence, such as diabetes, may play a predisposing role. An effective treatment strategy includes prompt diagnosis (clinical findings, local microbiological tests, blood culture and, if deemed necessary, histopathology), broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy as early as possible which sho…

Effects of fasting on skeletal muscles and body fat of adult and old C57BL/6J mice

2021

Fasting improves metabolic health, but is also associated with loss of lean body mass. We investigated if old mice are less resistant to fasting-induce muscle wasting than adult mice. We compared changes in skeletal muscles and fat distribution in C57BL/6J mice subjected to 48-hour fasting at adult (6-month old) or old (24-month old) age. Old mice lost less weight (11.9 ± 1.5 vs 16.9 ± 2.8%, p  0.001) and showed less (p  0.01) pronounced muscle wasting than adult mice. Extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle force decreased only in adult mice after fasting. Serum IGF-1 levels were higher (p  0.01) and showed greater (p  0.01) decline in adult mice compared to old mice. Phosphorylation of 4EB…

Effects of strength and endurance training on muscle fibrecharacteristics in elderly women

1997

The effects of 18 weeks' intensive strength and endurance training on fibre characteristics of the vastus lateralis muscle were studied in 76- to 78-year-old women. Type I and type IIa fibres constituted over 90% of the cell population and were almost equally represented. No changes were observed in the proportions of the different fibre types. When comparing the baseline and the 18-week measurements within the groups, the strength group showed a mean increase of 34% (P = 0.028) in mean type I fibre area. The frequency histograms showed an increased proportion of larger type I fibres after strength training and a decreased proportion of smaller type IIa fibres after endurance training. In t…
