Fundamental movement skills and weight status in children: A systematic review
2017
Background Obesity has become a major health challenge in children. Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are suggested to have an important role for being physically active and decreasing the risk of obesity. This systematic review aimed to give an overview of studies providing evidence for a relationship between FMS and the weight status in children. Material/Methods A systematic search of five electronic databases (MEDLINE (PubMed), SportDiscus, ERIC, PsycInfo and SCOPUS) was conducted in January 2015. Studies examining associations between FMS and weight status in children aged 3–12 years were included. Results The final sample included 12 cross-sectional studies. Seven studies found statis…
Palveluohjaus määrittää muistisairaan läheisten palvelujen saamista - aikuiset lapset puolisoita heikommassa asemassa
2021
Läheisten rooli muistisairaiden hoivaajina on jo nyt merkittävä, ja se tulee kasvamaan. Muistisairaudet yleistyvät pitkäikäisyyden lisääntyessä, ja vanhushoivapolitiikassa painotetaan kotona asumista. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään muistisairaan puolisoille ja aikuisille lapsille tarjottua tiedollista tukea, palveluohjausta ja palveluja. Lisäksi tarkastellaan, millainen yhteys eri taustatekijöillä on palvelujen tarjontaan, ja miten saatu tieto ja palveluohjaus vaikuttavat tarjottuihin palveluihin. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin muistisairaiden puolisoilta ja aikuisilta lapsilta sähköisellä Carer’s survey -kyselyllä. Aineiston analyysi osoittaa, että tietoa oli saatu rajallisesti ja puoliso…
Lievää Alzheimerin tautia sairastavien henkilöiden ja heidän omaishoitajiensa sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluiden käyttö ja siihen yhteydessä olevat teki…
2010
Alzheimerin tauti on yleisin dementiaa aiheuttava sairaus. Alzheimerin tautia sairastavien henkilöiden itsenäinen selviytyminen heikkenee taudin oireiden etenemisen myötä. Omaishoitajan avustuksella moni muistisairas henkilö pystyy asumaan omassa kodissaan vielä siinäkin vaiheessa, kun se yksin olisi mahdotonta. Läheisen ihmisen omaishoitajana toimiminen on raskasta työtä ja moni omaishoitaja kokee olevansa psyykkisesti ja fyysisesti kuormittunut. Omaishoitajan ja muistisairaan henkilön tukena ovat useat sosiaali- ja terveyspalvelut, joiden tarkoituksena on tukea toimintakykyä, mahdollistaa kotona asuminen ja parantaa omaishoitajan jaksamista. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää li…

Cardiolipin content controls mitochondrial coupling and energetic efficiency in muscle
2020
Decreasing mitochondrial energy-production efficiency in skeletal muscle can confer protection against diet-induced obesity.
Aberrant glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan causes defective binding of laminin in the muscle of chicken muscular dystrophy.
2005
Dystroglycan is a central component of dystrophin-glycoprotein complex that links extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton in skeletal muscle. Although dystrophic chicken is well established as an animal model of human muscular dystrophy, the pathomechanism leading to muscular degeneration remains unknown. We show here that glycosylation and laminin-binding activity of alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG) are defective in dystrophic chicken. Extensive glycan structural analysis reveals that Galbeta1-3GalNAc and GalNAc residues are increased while Siaalpha2-3Gal structure is reduced in alpha-DG of dystrophic chicken. These results implicate aberrant glycosylation of alpha-DG in the pathogenesis of mus…
Retrograde Transpubic Screw Fixation
2017
In the vast majority of fragility fractures of the pelvis, fractures of the posterior and anterior pelvic ring occur combined. Fractures of the pubic rami above and below the obturator foramen are much more frequent than fractures of the pubic bone and fractures at the anterior lip of the acetabulum. Retrograde transpubic screw fixation is a minimally invasive technique for stabilization of pubic rami fractures. The anterior column corridor is a straight corridor between the anterior cortex of the superior pubic ramus near to the pubic tubercle and the external cortex of the ilium above the acetabulum. The minimal canal diameter, measured in 160 Japanese, was on average 13.5 mm for men and …
Positive association of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol with lumbar and femoral neck bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.
2021
Abstract Objective Experimental studies suggest that lipids affect bone metabolism. We aimed to elucidate whether lipid levels are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in a cohort of postmenopausal women. Design A cross-sectional study of participants in the Chronic Ailment Reduction after MENopause (CARMEN) cohort. Women underwent assessment of clinical and analytical parameters, including fasting lipid levels. BMD was assessed at both lumbar spine and hip. Homogeneity in the cohort was optimized by filtering out a series of confounding variables with a known impact on bone. Main outcome measures Association of BMD at lumbar spine and femoral neck with lipid levels. Results A total o…
Celecoxib for recurrent sclerouveitis after syphilitic panuveitis. A case report
2011
Purpose To report a case of recurrent ocular inflammation after optimal therapy of bilateral syphilitic panuveitis responding to oral celecoxib. Methods A case report was conducted. Results A 76-year-old man presented with painful blurry vision in both eyes. Ocular examination disclosed bilateral panuveitis. Serological testing confirmed blood and cerebrospinal fluid syphilitic involvement. After 2 weeks of intravenous penicillin therapy, recurrent episodic sclerouveitis was observed. Conclusion Ocular inflammation after healing of infectious uveitis is a rare ophthalmic sequela. In an immunocompetent patient, either re-infection or immune uveitis should be evoked. Non-steroidal therapeutic…
Endocannabinoid Role in Synaptic Plasticity and Learning
2009
Endocannabinoids have recently emerged as versatile modulators of synaptic transmission and can act as retrograde neurotransmitters. As they cannot be stored in synaptic vesicles, endocannabinoid signaling is believed to start ‘on-demand,’ via a stimulus-dependent synthesis from membranous precursors at the postsynaptic site. After synthesis, endocannabinoids bind presynaptically to cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptors, leading to a short- or long-term suppression of neurotransmitter release. CB1 receptors are present in a plethora of different synaptic connections in the brain. Electrophysiological and behavioral analyses of mutant mice lacking CB1 receptors and of pharmacologically treated …
