Open-label ODYSSEY APPRISE study: Interim data from the first 843 participants

2018

Background PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) have been recommended by the ESC/EAS Task Force in very high risk subjects with ASCVD and those with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) with persistent high LDL-C levels despite maximally tolerated LLT. Purpose ODYSSEY APPRISE (NCT02476006) is the first study to assess efficacy and safety at Week (W) 12 of the PCSK9i alirocumab (ALI) in a real-life setting prior to commercial availability. Methods APPRISE was an open-label, single-arm study, conducted in 16 European countries and Canada. Subjects with inadequately controlled lipid levels despite maximally tolerated LLT were included. Based on physician's judgment, participants received eit…

A cross-cultural examination of fat women’s experiences: Stigma and gender in North American and Finnish culture

2019

In this manuscript, the voices of women of size in North America and Finland indicate that there is a shared experience of being fat. Based on cross-cultural analysis of our respective empirical findings, we argue that there is a shared Western fat lived experience that perpetuates a stigmatized gendered landscape of living with a fat body. The emergent themes tended to revolve around two similar contradictions—the phenomenon of hyper(in)visibility and a belief their fatness is a temporary or liminal state—both of which lead to an internalization of fat hatred. We argue that these findings stem from the tremendous stigma and mistreatment that both samples of women face in their daily lives.…

Postural balance and susceptibility to falls in older women : genetic and environmental influences in single and dual task situations

2006

This study was conducted to assess the contribution of genetic and non-genetic influences to postural balance while standing and walking under single and dual task conditions. Furthermore, the role of familial and non-familial influences in susceptibility to falls was examined. In addition, the validity of force platform balance tests as predictors of falls was elucidated.The present study was part of the Finnish Twin Study on Aging (FITSA). A population based sample of this study consisted of 206 monozygotic and 228 dizygotic female twins aged 63-76 years. Postural balance was assessed with force platform stance tests and walking tests. The balance tests were carried out as single tasks an…

Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Terveyskasvatuksen pro gradu -tutkielma, 40 s., 3 liitettä. Lapsettomuuden on arvioitu yleistyneen viime vuosikymmeninä, Suomessa lapsettomuushoitoihin hakeutuvien määrä on ollut hienoisessa nousussa. Elintapojen vaikutusta hedelmällisyyteen on tutkittu laajasti ja tiedetään, että yli- ja alipaino, ravitsemus sekä liikunta vaikuttavat naisten hedelmällisyyteen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää lapsettomuustutkimuksiin hakeutuvien naisten näkemyksiä elintapojen vaikutuksesta hedelm…

Shorter recovery time following high-intensity interval training induced higher body fat loss among overweight women

2018

Background: High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been widely employed as an exercise protocol to reduce fat, and also in addition, interval recovery periods are the most important factors which can have great impact on weight loss. Therefore, the aim of this study was the evaluation of different recovery time between HIIT program on metabolic responses and weight loss in overweight women. Methods: Twenty-four overweight (BMI 29.5±3.5 kg/m2) volunteer women were randomly assigned into three groups (n=8/group) to study the effects of different recovery times: (group 1; HIIT with 60/60 activity-rest ratio (sec), group 2; HIIT with 60/30 activity-rest ratio (sec), and group 3 was set as …

Huojunnan yhteys kaatumisen seurauksena syntyneisiin murtumiin ikääntyneillä naisilla

Women and Demons in the Late Medieval Wall Paintings in the Church of Espoo (Finland)

2017

The late-medieval stone church of Espoo (county of Uusimaa), situated on the south coast close to the current-day capital of Finland, Helsinki, displays a wealth of medieval wall paintings executed around the 1510s by a group of painters that has remained anonymous. In the fourth vault of the north aisle a demon has been depicted as the proxy and associate of women who are seen in typical household tasks of milking and churning. On the west wall above the entrance a depiction shows a demon passing a pair of shoes to a woman, and above, three demons are seen twiddling with a parchment. This article analyses the images and places them in the context of social control that aimed at regulating …

Physical fitness, pain and fatigue in postmenopausal women with fibromyalgia : effects of strength training

2007

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic non-inflammatory pain syndrome characterized mainly by widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance. Its pathophysiology is still unknown and no curative treatment exists. Exercise training is usually recommended to persons with FM as one part of the treatment program; however, strength training has been studied very seldom in persons with FM.The purpose of this thesis was 1) to compare neuromuscular and aerobic performance, functional capacity, pain and fatigue between postmenopausal women with fibromyalgia (FMW) and healthy women (HW) and 2) to examine the acute responses of heavy resistance fatiguing loading and the effects of regular strength training on…
