Perfil cognitivo de los alcohólicos abstinentes durante un periodo de tiempo prolongado en comparación con un grupo de hombres que no consumen alcohol
2018
Scarce studies have focused on the cognitive profile of chronic alcoholic men after long-term abstinence. Thus, we examined neuropsychological differences between long-term abstinent alcoholics for an average of 3.2 years ( n = 40, LTAA; age = 45.55 ± 8.99) and matched for socio-demographic variables with non-alcoholic controls ( n = 39; age = 42.05 ± 11.33). To this aim, we employed a neuropsychological assessment battery covered relevant cognitive domains: IQ, memory, attention, executive functions and empathy. LTAA presented deficits in abstract reasoning, speed processing, sustained attention, working and long-term memory (verbal and visuospatial), cognitive flexibility, inhibition and …
L'utilisation des reliefs naturels dans l'art gravé et sculpté pariétal du paléolithique supérieur français
2005
Pendant toute la durée du Paléolithique supérieur, en Espagne et en France principalement, les artistes ont réalisé des figurations en utilisant les reliefs naturels et la morphologie des parois de grottes ou d'abris-sous-roche. Ce phénomène artistique, qui a toujours préoccupé les préhistoriens, a suscité les interrogations et les interprétations les plus diverses de la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à présent : origine de l'art, préoccupations magico-religieuses, organisation spatiale et sanctuarisation de l'espace souterrain, structures pariétales, chamanisme, techno-cultures, etc. Pendant longtemps, ce que les formes rocheuses pouvaient avoir d'évocateur a été considéré comme la raison d'être…
Rare Cancers Europe (RCE) methodological recommendations for clinical studies in rare cancers: A European consensus position paper
2015
While they account for one-fifth of new cancer cases, rare cancers are difficult to study. A higher than average degree of uncertainty should be accommodated for clinical as well as for population-based decision making. Rules of rational decision making in conditions of uncertainty should be rigorously followed and would need widely informative clinical trials. In principle, any piece of new evidence would need to be exploited in rare cancers. Methodologies to explicitly weigh and combine all the available evidence should be refined, and the Bayesian logic can be instrumental to this end. Likewise, Bayesian-design trials may help optimize the low number of patients liable to be enrolled in …
Responsiveness to change and reliability of measurement of radiographic joint space width in osteoarthritis of the knee: a systematic review
2011
Import JabRef | WosArea Orthopedics; Rheumatology; International audience; Objective: The goal of this systematic review was to report the responsiveness to change and reliability of conventional radiographic joint space width (JSW) measurement. Method: We searched the PubMed and Embase databases using the following search criteria: [osteoarthritis (OA) (MeSH)] AND (knee) AND (X-ray OR radiography OR diagnostic imaging OR radiology OR disease progression) AND (joint space OR JSW or disease progression). We assessed responsiveness by calculating the standardized response mean (SRM). We assessed reliability using intra- and inter-reader intra-class correlation (ICC) and coefficient of variati…
Positioning of the cross-stitch on the modified Kessler core tendon suture
2018
[EN] Cryopreserved human tendons were sutured with different variations of a modified Kessler-type grasping suture in a series of different designs in order to assess the influence of the distance between the cross-stitch on the core suture (5 and 10 mm from the cut tendon edge) on the peripheral suture. An original mathematical model was employed to explain the mechanical behavior (strength, deformation, and distribution of load) of the different suture designs. The effect of the peripheral epitendinous suture, combined with the distance of the core suture, was evaluated. The variation of core suture distance had no relevant consequences on the overall resilience of the design. However, in…
La complejidad de la gobernanza del patrimonio inmaterial en el medio rural: el caso de «Els Pelegrins de Les Useres (provincia de Castellón)»
2019
En el nuevo escenario de modernidad avanzada se observan nuevas dinámicas de patrimonialización que pueden significar una oportunidad para los espacios rurales, pero también una amenaza. Desvelar cómo los diferentes agentes tanto globales como locales en el territorio van tejiendo buenas y malas prácticas, y cuáles son las dificultades, las contradicciones y los conflictos con los que se encuentran tan solo es posible a través de un enfoque interdisciplinar que aúne la visión territorial, constructivista y comunitaria. Este artículo tiene como objetivo identificar y diferenciar dos dinámicas de patrimonialización poniendo el acento en cómo se construyen estos procesos, diferenciando dos eje…
An Empirical Mode Decomposition Approach to Assess the Strength of Heart Period-Systolic Arterial Pressure Variability Interactions.
2020
This work proposes an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method to assess the strength of the interactions between heart period (HP) and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) variability. EMD was exploited to decompose the original series (OR) into its first, and fastest, intrinsic mode function (IMF1) and the residual (RES) computed by subtracting the IMF1 from OR. EMD procedure was applied to both HP and SAP variability series. Then, the cross correlation function (CCF) was computed over OR, IMF1 and RES series derived from HP and SAP variability in 13 healthy subjects (age 27±8 yrs, 5 males) at rest in supine position (REST) and during head-up tilt (TILT). The first CCF maximum at negative ti…
