Mid- to Long-Term Outcomes of Cervical Disc Arthroplasty versus Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion for Treatment of Symptomatic Cervical Disc Di…

2015

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the mid- to long-term outcomes of cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) versus anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for the treatment of 1-level or 2-level symptomatic cervical disc disease. Methods Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trials that reported mid- to long-term outcomes (at least 48 months) of CDA versus ACDF. All data were analyzed by Review Manager 5.3 software. The relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for dichotomous variables. The weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%CIs were calculated for conti…

Pharmacokinetics of new oral anticoagulants: implications for use in routine care

2018

Introduction: Since 2008, new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been approved for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients receiving hip or knee replacement surgery, prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). Premarketing randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of NOACs demonstrated their non-inferiority in terms of efficacy vs. warfarin (traditional oral anticoagulant–TOA), with lower risk of serious adverse drug reactions, especially cerebral hemorrhages. In clinical practice, pharmacokinetic aspects of NOACs have to be carefully taken into account to …

European guidelines on chronic mesenteric ischaemia - joint United European Gastroenterology, European Association for Gastroenterology, Endoscopy an…

2020

Chronic mesenteric ischaemia is a severe and incapacitating disease, causing complaints of post-prandial pain, fear of eating and weight loss. Even though chronic mesenteric ischaemia may progress to acute mesenteric ischaemia, chronic mesenteric ischaemia remains an underappreciated and undertreated disease entity. Probable explanations are the lack of knowledge and awareness among physicians and the lack of a gold standard diagnostic test. The underappreciation of this disease results in diagnostic delays, underdiagnosis and undertreating of patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia, potentially resulting in fatal acute mesenteric ischaemia. This guideline provides a comprehensive overvi…

Replacement of fishmeal with corn gluten meal in feeds for juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) does not affect oxygen consumption during for…

2017

We compared oxygen consumption (MO2, mg/kg/h) of c. 80 g rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in an intermittent-flow swim respirometer at 15 °C. Before the tests the fish were grown in flow through tanks (15 °C) with either fishmeal (FM) or corn gluten meal (CGM) based diets (c. 52% protein) for a period of 3–4.5 months. Ten individuals from both treatment groups were fasted for 48 h before the swim test, which consisted of 18 loops of 210 s over three different periods: acclimation period (6 loops at 0.5 body lengths per s, BL/s), exercise period (8 loops at increased speed from 1 to 2.5 BL/s with recovery loops at 0.5 BL/s), and a recovery period (four loops at 0.5 BL/s). We did not obser…

Mobile phone use before and during the COVID-19 pandemic : a panel study of older adults in seven countries

2023

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in older adults’ mobile phone use from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic. The media displacement and digital divide approaches served as the theoretical frameworks of the study. The data were drawn from the 2018 and 2020 waves of the Aging + Communication + Technology cross-national longitudinal panel study. The sample consisted of older Internet users, aged 62 to 96 (in 2018), from Austria, Canada, Finland, Israel, the Netherlands, Romania, and Spain, who participated in both waves (N = 4,398). Latent class analysis and latent transition analysis with multinomial regression models were the main methods applied to the data. With rega…

Déplacements urbains: sortir de l'orthodoxie

2015

Depuis une trentaine d’années, les politiques de déplacements urbains visent à une réduction de l’usage de l’automobile. Toutefois, aucune de ces stratégies n’a jusqu’à présent rencontré le succès escompté. La théorie socio-économique des transports repose sur une supposée rationalité de l’individu, lequel serait tantôt optimisateur, tantôt fidèle à ses convictions, à ce qui lui paraît «juste» ou «bon». Cette hypothèse est fortement remise en cause dans cet ouvrage. L’auteur montre que cette vision réductrice mène non seulement à l’échec des politiques de déplacements, mais également à l’incompréhension de ses raisons fondamentales. En s’appuyant sur le concept d’habitude, il propose de ren…

L'immobilité est-elle un marqueur de la variabilité quotidienne des déplacements ? : Analyse à partir d'un modèle d'équations structurelles sur des d…

2017

National audience; La mobilité automobile et les déplacements de longue portée ont un coût plus élevé qui génère de fortes disparités entre les individus, notamment en fonction du revenu. Ces disparités constituent de véritables inégalités dans la mesure où elles génèrent des différences d’accès à des ressources décisivespour les individus comme l’approvisionnement alimentaire ou l’emploi. Au cours de ces dernières décennies, ces inégalités ont fait l’objet de nombreux travaux de recherche qui ont montré l’accroissement de ces inégalités à de nombreux égards. Toutefois, les travaux empiriques français menées à partir d’analyses quantitatives peinent à se renouveler et aller au-delà des prem…

Legacy system evolution - A comparative study of modernisation and replacement initiation factors

2007

Decisions regarding information system evolution strategy become topical as the organisation’s information systems age and start to approach the end of their life cycle. An interview study was conducted in order to compare factors influencing modernisation and replacement initiation. System age, obsolete technology and high operation or maintenance costs were identified as triggers for both modernisation and replacement projects. The results show that the most prevalent individual reason for modernisation initiative is business development. Common initiation factors for replacement projects were end of vendor support and system’s inability to respond to organisation’s business needs. peerRe…
