Association between clusters of diseases and polypharmacy in hospitalized elderly patients: results from the REPOSI study.
2011
BACKGROUND: Although the association between multimorbidity and polypharmacy has been clearly documented, no study has analyzed whether or not specific combinations of diseases influence the prescription of polypharmacy in older persons. We assessed which clusters of diseases are associated with polypharmacy in acute-care elderly in-patients. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was held in 38 Italian internal medicine and geriatric wards participating in the Registro Politerapie SIMI (REPOSI) study during 2008. The study sample included 1155 in-patients aged 65 years or older. Clusters of diseases, defined as two or more co-occurring specific chronic diseases, were identified using the odds…
Lesión medular y ejercicio físico: revisión desde una perspectiva deportiva
2016
Una de cada 2000 personas en Europa tiene lesión medular (LM), es normalmente más sedentaria que el resto de la población y encuentra diferentes problemas para practicar ejercicio físico (EF), destacando la escasa formación específica de los profesionales del deporte. Con el objetivo de aportar información sobre la LM y su interacción con la práctica deportiva, se realizó una revisión de literatura científica que analiza sus alteraciones músculoesqueléticas, cardiovasculares, respiratorias, de termorregulación, genitourinarias e intestinales, las úlceras por presión, la disreflexia autonómica y los aspectos nutricionales, generando recomendaciones prácticas. Como conclusión, la práctica hab…
The use of accelerometry to evaluate the BMX cycling starting hill. Effect of the Q-Ring™ on the acceleration profile
2020
Accelerometers are becoming popular in sport performance, as they are easy to wear, affordable, and usable in the field. Eccentric chainrings have been commercialised to improve pedalling performance, but little is known about their possible effects in the first pedal strokes (PS) of maximal sprint starts. To analyse the effects of the Q-Ring chainring (Q) on pedalling mechanics and performance in the BMX starting hill, 12 Spanish-National-Team BMX athletes performed 3 maximal sprints comparing Q vs No-Q. Time was measured in the first three meters. Acceleration output was registered with a triaxial 6 g accelerometer (200 Hz) in the first four PS. Discrete time, acceleration and statistical…
L’échographie pulmonaire : une aide au diagnostic et au contrôle de la réponse à la kinésithérapie. À propos d’un cas
2017
Introduction L’echographie pulmonaire pourrait etre un outil interessant pour le kinesitherapeute puisqu’elle pourrait permettre d’ameliorer l’indication et le suivi du traitement par kinesitherapie respiratoire [1] . A notre connaissance, aucune etude n’a evalue l’impact de l’echographie pulmonaire sur le processus de decision clinique du kinesitherapeute. Ce rapport de cas aborde l’interet de l’echographie pulmonaire en kinesitherapie respiratoire chez une patiente avec une consolidation pulmonaire. Materiel, population et methode Ce rapport de cas est ecrit suivant les recommandations de « The CARE guideline » [2] . La patiente etait une femme de 68 ans, non intubee et hospitalisee dans …
Place de l’échographie pulmonaire dans le processus de décision clinique du kinésithérapeute
2017
Resume Les outils d’evaluation habituellement utilises par le kinesitherapeute, tel que la radiographie et l’auscultation, manquent de precision diagnostic. L’echographie pulmonaire presente une excellente precision dans l’evaluation de deficiences interessant le kinesitherapeute : consolidation pulmonaire, syndrome alveolo-interstitiel, epanchement pleural, etc. L’integration de l’echographie pulmonaire dans le processus de decision clinique du kinesitherapeute offre de nouvelles perspectives en ameliorant la precision de l’examen clinique et en guidant le choix du traitement du poumon profond, tel que l’a decrit Postiaux. Elle permet au kinesitherapeute de selectionner la technique de rec…
À propos d’un cas de pneumopathie, l’échographie pulmonaire comme aide au diagnostic et au contrôle de la réponse à la kinésithérapie
2017
Resume Ce rapport de cas aborde l’interet de l’echographie pulmonaire en kinesitherapie respiratoire chez une patiente presentant une pneumopathie. L’utilisation de l’echographie pulmonaire dans le processus de decision clinique pourrait aider le kinesitherapeute a choisir avec plus de precision la strategie therapeutique. De plus, elle permet d’evaluer le traitement en temps reel et de controler la reponse du patient. Niveau de preuve 5.

Debate of Ideas and Understanding With Regard to Tactical Learning in Team Sports
2021
Purpose: The researchers discuss the debate of ideas (DoI) and student understanding conducted on questioning and student answers or discussions in game-based approaches and on DoI as used in the tactical-decision learning model.Literature Review: Literature regarding types of questions and expected student answers and questioning for learning in game-based approaches is reviewed. In addition, a brief overview of the context in which DoI was originally developed is presented.Findings and Discussion: Studies that used DoI are discussed with regard to the management of game play and observation, DoI content and the dynamics of student discussions, and impact on game play statistics and on stu…
The inside out forehand as a tactical pattern in men’s professional tennis
2017
AbstractThe so-called inside out forehand has an active role in the baseline strategy because it offers the players new possibilities of hitting the incoming ball with their preferred shot by covering their weaker side and, at the same time, playing the ball with more open angles and directions which create more aggressive patterns of play. The purpose of this study is to analyse the use of this shot as well as its incidence on the men’s professional game both, right- and left-handed players. Eighteen matches corresponding to Grand Slam and ATP finals played between 2011 and 2014 were analysed. Eleven players (men) with ATP rankings between 1 and 14 were studied. Data show that the inside o…
Participation and performance trends in ultra-triathlons from 1985 to 2009
2010
We examined the changes in participation and performance trends in ultra-triathlons, from the Double Iron (7.6 km swimming, 360 km cycling, 84.4 km running) to the Deca Iron (38 km swimming, 1800 km cycling, 422 km running), between 1985 (first year of a Double Iron) and 2009 (25 years). The mean finish rate for all distances and races was 75.8%. Women accounted for ∼8-10% of the ultra-triathlons starters. For Double and Triple Iron, the number of finishers per year increased, from 17 to 98 and from 7 to 41, respectively. In the Deca Iron, the finishers per race have remained <20 since the first event was held, up to 2009. Concerning World best performances, the men were ∼19% faster than th…
