Demenzleitlinien: was in der Praxis ankommen sollte
2012
Hintergrund und Fragestellung: Leitlinien wissenschaftlicher Fachgesellschaften verstehen sich als Orientierungshilfe fur die arztliche Tatigkeit, besonders auch fur die tagliche Arbeit niedergelassener Arzte. An der Erstellung von Leitlinien sind Praktiker in der Regel nicht direkt beteiligt, sondern nur mittelbar uber Standesvertreter. Leitlinien werden in einem Konsensprozess als eine Zusammenschau von 1. aus klinischen Studien beobachteter wissenschaftlicher Evidenz zur Wirksamkeit und Nebenwirkungen und 2. der Berucksichtigung von gesundheitssystemrelevanten Aspekten von gesundheitlichem Nutzen und Kostenaspekten erstellt, ohne die in der Flache vorliegenden Voraussetzungen berucksicht…
Hausarztbasierte Demenzversorgung: Effektivität früher psychosozialer Beratung der Angehörigen
2012
Hintergrund und Fragestellung: Bei der Versorgung von Patienten mit Demenzerkrankungen besitzen Psychoedukation und professionelle Unterstutzung betreuender Angehoriger unstrittig einen hohen Stellenwert. Im Rahmen eines hausarztbasierten Versorgungsansatzes ging vorliegende Untersuchung der Frage nach, ob eine professionelle psychosoziale Beratung der betroffenen Familien – zeitnah zur Demenzdiagnose – das Risiko fur Depressionen der betreuenden Angehorigen reduziert. Patienten und Methodik: 42 Patienten mit diagnostizierter Demenz und ihre betreuenden Angehorigen nahmen an der prospektiven, randomisierten Studie und der Nachuntersuchung nach 18 Monaten teil. 29 Patienten erhielten zeitnah…
Discussing lifestyle behaviors: perspectives and experiences of general practitioners
2019
Background: Initiatives aimed at increasing participation in preventive health behaviors has been identified as a priority for addressing the increasing incidence of non-communicable chronic disease. General practice is an existing network that can be leveraged to intervene and promote messages for health behavior change. We aimed to explore the extent to which ‘lifestyle’ behaviors are discussed by general practitioners (GPs) with their patients in their practices, and the context and content of these discussions. Methods: GPs (N = 26) practising in Australian clinics participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic analysis. Results: Results showe…
Motivational aspects and level of satisfaction of Italian junior doctors with regard to knowledge and skills acquired attending specific general prac…
2017
The demographic and epidemiological transitions resulted in a pressing need to reformulate the health workforce demand and to revise pre-and post-graduate training to prepare the medical profiles to meet the new health needs focused on chronic diseases. The Italian Junior Doctors Association and the Giotto Movement carried out a web survey to identify the motivational aspects and the level of satisfaction of Italian junior doctors regarding knowledge and skills acquired after attending the General Practitioners’ specific training (GP-ST). Three-hundred-forty-seven General Practitioners (GPs), 302 trainees and 45 newly qualified trainees answered a web questionnaire. Significant differences …
Participation and performance trends in 100-km ultra-marathons worldwide
2014
The aims of the present study were to (1) investigate the participation trends for the origin of athletes competing in 100-km ultra-marathons and (2) determine the nationalities of athletes achieving the fastest 100-km race times worldwide. Race times and nationality from 112,283 athletes (15,204 women and 97,079 men) from 102 countries who completed a 100-km ultra-marathon worldwide between 1998 and 2011 were investigated using single- and multi-level regression analyses. The number of finishers increased exponentially, both for women and men. Most of the finishers (73.5%) were from Europe, in particular, France (30.4%). The number of finishers from Japan, Germany, Italy, Poland and the Un…
European athletes dominate performances in Double Iron ultra-triathlons - A retrospective data analysis from 1985 to 2010
2014
International audience; We investigated the participation and performance trends of ultra-endurance triathletes from all nationalities competing in a Double Iron ultra-triathlon (7.6-km swim, 360-km cycle and 84.4-km run) from 1985 to 2010. A total of 1854 athletes participated in 92 Double Iron ultra-triathlons. The majority of the winners came from Europe with 72 victories, followed by North America with 17 victories. The race time for the European ultra-triathletes was 1340 (s=95.3) min, decreasing highly significantly (r(2)=0.28; P<0.0001) across the years. North American ultra-triathletes finished the races within 1556 (s=124.5) min; their race time showed no changes across the years (…
''Limits in endurance performance of octogenarian athletes''
2013
TO THE EDITOR: A recent study of Trappe et al. (3) showed that the aerobic power of octogenarian lifelong endurance athletes was approximately double that of untrained octogenarians (38 vs. 21 ml·kg 1 ·min 1 ). These remarkable aerobic capacities are the highest ever recorded in this age group. However, the impact of the identified physiological capacities on actual endurance performances has not been addressed, as no running performance indicators of the octogenarian athletes were provided in this study. We hereby suggest that, although trained octogenarian athletes can achieve levels of aerobic fitness well above their untrained counterpart, as a group they actually have not yet reached t…
''Sex Differences In Ultra-triathlon Performance At Increasing Race Distance''
2013
Ruest, Christoph Alexander | Knechtle, Beat | Knechtle, Patrizia | Rosemann, Thomas | Lepers, Romuald; International audience; ''It has been argued that women should be able to outrun men in ultra-endurance distances. The present study investigated the sex difference in overall race times and split times between elite female and male Ironman triathletes competing in Ironman Hawaii (3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling, and 42.195 km running) and Double Iron ultra-triathletes (7.6 km swimming, 360 km cycling, and 84.4 km running). Data from 20,638 athletes, including 5,163 women and 15,475 men competing in Ironman Hawaii and from 143 women and 1,252 men competing in Double Iron ultra-triathlon ra…
Women Outperform Men in Ultra-Distance Swimming - The 'Manhattan Island Marathon Swim' From 1983 to 2013
2014
Purpose:Recent studies suggested that women’s and men’s ultraswim performances may be similar for distances of ~35 km. The current study investigated both the gender difference and the age of peak ultraswim performance between 1983 and 2013 at the 46-km Manhattan Island Marathon Swim with water temperatures <20°C.Methods:Changes in race times and gender difference in 551 male and 237 female finishers were investigated using linear-, nonlinear-, and hierarchical multilevel-regression analyses.Results:The top 10 race times ever were significantly (P < .0001) lower for women (371 ± 11 min) than for men (424 ± 9 min). Race times of the annual fastest and annual 3 fastest women and men did…
Age, training, and previous experience predict race performance in long-distance inline skaters, not anthropometry
2012
Knechtle, Beat | Knechtle, Patrizia | Ruest, Christoph Alexander | Rosemann, Thomas | Lepers, Romuald; International audience; ''The association of characteristics of anthropometry, training, and previous experience with race time in 84 recreational, long-distance, inline skaters at the longest inline marathon in Europe (111 km), the Inline One-eleven in Switzerland, was investigated to identify predictor variables for performance. Age, duration per training unit, and personal best time were the only three variables related to race time in a multiple regression, while none of the 16 anthropometric variables were related. Anthropometric characteristics seem to be of no importance for a fast …
