Liikunnallisuus ja hyvä kunto ehkäisevät tyypin 2 diabetesta ja valtimotautien riskitekijöitä lapsesta lähtien
2021
Lasten ylipaino on saavuttanut epidemian mittasuhteet maailmanlaajuisesti. Vaikka viime vuosina tilanne on hiukan parantunut, ylipaino on edelleen yksi merkittävimmistä kansanterveydellisistä ongelmista. Riskitekijöiden kasautumisen ehkäisy ja hoito tulisi aloittaa mahdollisimman varhain: mielellään jo sikiöaikana tai viimeistään varhaislapsuudessa. nonPeerReviewed
Testing the ontogenetic base for the transient model of inflorescence development
2013
† Backgrounds and Aims: Current research in plant science has concentrated on revealing ontogenetic processes of key attributes in plant evolution. One recently discussed model is the ‘transient model’ successful in explaining some types of inflorescence architectures based on two main principles: the decline of the so called ‘vegetativeness’ (veg) factor and the transient nature of apical meristems in developing inflorescences. This study examines whether both principles find a concrete ontogenetic correlate in inflorescence development. † Methods: To test the ontogenetic base of veg decline and the transient character of apical meristems the ontogeny of meristematic size in developing inf…
Description deSkrjabinelazia pyrenaican. sp. (Nematoda : Seuratidae) et proposition d’une nouvelle diagnose pour le genreSkrjabinelazia
1988
Description de Skrjabinelazia pyrenaica n. sp. (Nematoda : Seuratidae), parasite intestinal du lezard iberique Podarcis hispanica (Steindachner, 1870) et du lezard des murailles Podarcis muralis (Laurenti, 1768) (Reptilia : Lacertidae), captures dans les Pyrenees Centrales iberiques. La nouvelle espece est caracterisee, chez le mâle, par le nombre de papilles cloacales et la longueur des spicules et du gubernaculum et chez la femelle par la presence d’une ornementation cuticulaire particuliere, ainsi que par les dimensions des œufs. En accord avec les caracteristiques morphologiques et anatomiques observees chez S. pyrenaica n. sp. et apres la revision generique de Skrjabinelazia , une nouv…
Looking for the Easy Way Out : Demographic Panic and the Twists and Turns of Long-Term Care Policy in Finland
2019
This chapter aims to map the twists and turns in the development of long-term care policy in Finland since the start of the 1990s. The main argument of the chapter is that these changes have to a large part been motivated by what is called here ‘demographic panic’, that is, fear of consequences of population ageing to the public purse. Various policy changes have taken place during the last three decades. Since the late 1980s, Finnish long-term care policies have been made under the shadow of the ‘demographic time bomb’ discourse that argues that care expenditures are to rise exponentially if determined action is not taken to curb the expenditures. As a result, the focus of policy has been …

The prognostic value of subjective nasal symptoms and SNOT-22 score in middle ear surgery
2022
Background: The relationship between nasal functions and middle ear surgery is still under debate. Nasal obstruction is considered as a negative prognostic factor in middle ear surgery. This is based on the theory that it may cause Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) by leading to reduced ventilation of the middle ear, as found in several patients with nasal septal deviation, chronic rhinitis and nasal polyps. Objectives: To assess how the subjective feeling of nasal function, evaluated by a preoperative questionnaire, may be predictive of surgical outcome and/or risk of failure in middle ear surgery. Methods: We prospectively evaluated data of patients undergoing middle ear surgery for chron…
A petrol ether extract of the roots of Onosma paniculatum induces cell death in a caspase dependent manner
2010
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become very popular in Western countries during the last years. Zicao, a remedy of TCM, has been traditionally used to treat cancer, and, its main constituents, naphthoquinones, have been reported to possess antitumor activity (Chen et al., 2002; Papageorgiou et al., 1999). Here, we prepared extracts of different polarities of Onosma paniculatum Bur.Franch., a plant which is amongst others used as Zicao, but, much less investigated. The extracts were analyzed concerning their growth inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing activity in various tumor cells.Cell viability was measured by XTT viability and a growth inhibition assay. Effects on the cell cycle and …
Acceptability of virtual reality interoceptive exposure for the treatment of panic disorder with agoraphobia
2013
Interoceptive exposure (IE) is a standard component of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for panic disorder and agoraphobia. The virtual reality (VR) program ‘Panic-Agoraphobia’ has several virtual scenarios designed for applying exposure to agoraphobic situations; it can also simulate physical sensations. This work examines patients' acceptability of the IE component as applied in two different ways: using VR versus traditional IE. Additionally, it explores the relationship between users' treatment expectations and satisfaction and clinically significant change. Results showed that VR and traditional IE were well accepted by all participants. Furthermore, treatment expectations predicted…
Subjective symptomatology of asthma: validation of the asthma symptom checklist in an outpatient Spanish population.
1997
The objective of this study was to validate the Asthma Symptom Checklist (ASC) so that it could be reliably used to assess the subjective symptomatology of asthma attacks in our context. Subjective symptomatology of asthma was examined in a group of 100 adult Spanish outpatients (57 women, 43 men; 17-69 years of age) with asthma. All of them completed the modified version of the ASC as well as questionnaires of depression, anxiety, and self-management of asthma (self-efficacy expectancies and health care utilization). Data about duration and severity of asthma, as well as dyspnea and %FEV1, were also recorded. The highest reliability Cronbach alpha indexes were for the panic-fear and fatigu…
Knowledge, opinions and attitudes of Italian mothers towards HPV vaccination and Pap test
2015
Aim This study evaluated the knowledge and attitudes of Italian mothers – whose daughters had been vaccinated in 2012 – towards primary (anti-HPV vaccination) and secondary (Pap test screening) cervical cancer prevention, as well as sources of information and mother-daughter communication on health issues. Methods The survey – part of a multicenter study carried out in 4 Italian cities (Ferrara, Rome, Cassino and Palermo) – was conducted through self-administered questionnaires. The first univariate analysis evaluated differences between mothers of under-18s and over-18s relative to knowledge and attitudes on HPV vaccination and Pap test. The second univariate analysis evaluated differences…
