Relationship between age and elite marathon race time in world single age records from 5 to 93 years

2013

International audience; Background:The aims of the study were (i) to investigate the relationship between elite marathon race times andage in 1-year intervals by using the world single age records in marathon running from 5 to 93 years and (ii)toevaluate the sex difference in elite marathon running performance with advancing age.Methods:World single age records in marathon running in 1-year intervals for women and men were analysedregarding changes across age for both men and women using linear and non-linear regression analyses for eachage for women and men.Results:The relationship between elite marathon race time and age was non-linear (i.e.polynomial regression 4thdegree) for women and m…

Intranasal midazolam for treating acute respiratory crises in a woman with stiff person syndrome.

2020

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurologic disorder characterized by progressively worsening rigidity and spasms of the axial and limb muscles. Dyspnea has been recently recognized as a common symptom in SPS,1 and life-threatening respiratory crises have been occasionally reported and suspected to be responsible for sudden death in these patients.2,3 The pathophysiologic mechanisms of these respiratory manifestations remain unclear. Some authors have hypothesized that rigidity and/or spasm of the muscles of the trunk could prevent normal rib cage movements and excursion of the diaphragm.1

Katsaus Suomen varhaiseen atomihistoriaan

2022

Nykyisellä ydinteknologialla on lähinnä kaksi haaraa joita ovat ydinenergia ja lääketieteellinen isotooppitekniikka. Ensin mainitun lähtölaukauksena Suomessa pidetään nk. energiakomitean perustamista vuonna 1955. Tämän historian tutkimuksen painopiste on ollut 1960-ja 1970-luvun tapahtumissa, jotka liittyvät nykyisten ydinvoimalaitosten hankintakuvioihin. Professori Lennart Simons aloitti vakavasti otettavan ydinfysiikan tutkimuksen Suomessa ja oli alan ykkösnimi 1940- ja 1950-luvuilla kun koko länsimaailman yli pyyhkäisi atomiteknologian huuma, jota ehkä voi sanoa ensimmäiseksi teknologiahypeksi modernissa mielessä. Kirjan tarkoituksena on antaa lisävalaistusta suomalaisen ydinteknologian …

Soil feedback does not explain mowing effects on vegetation structure in a semi-natural grassland

2009

Due to its ability to create aboveground conditions that favour plant diversity, mowing is often used to preserve the high conservation value of semi-natural species-rich grasslands. However, mowing can also affect belowground conditions. By decreasing plant carbon supply to soil, mowing can suppress the activity of soil decomposers, diminish plant nutrient availability and thus create a feedback on plant growth. In this study, we first documented the effects of three-year mowing on plant community structure in a species-rich grassland. We found that mowing decreased the total areal cover of woody plants and increased the total cover of leguminous forbs. At the species level, mowing further…

Global changes promote the spread of infectious diseases worldwide. In this context, tropical urogenital schistosomiasis is now permanently established in Corsica since its first emergence in 2013. The local persistence of the tropical pathogens (schistosomes) responsible for urogenital schistosomiasis at such latitudes might be explained by (i) the presence of its intermediate host, the snail Bulinus truncatus, (ii) the recurrent local reseeding of schistosomes by their vertebrate hosts (either human or animal) every summer, and/or (iii) the maintenance and survival of schistosomes within their snail hosts over winter. In this study we conducted an ecological experiment to assess the abili…

Microdiversity of Burkholderiales associated with mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots of Medicago truncatula

2008

The genetic diversity of bacterial communities associated with mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots of Medicago truncatula was characterized by two approaches. Firstly, phylogenetic analysis was performed on 164 partial 16S rRNA gene-intergenic spacer (IGS) sequences from operational taxonomic units previously shown to be preferentially associated with mycorrhizal roots. These sequences were distributed into three branches corresponding to Comamonadaceae, Oxalobacteraceae and Rubrivivax subgroups. Most sequences were obtained from mycorrhizal roots, indicating the preferential association of the corresponding families with mycorrhizal roots. A second phylogenetic analysis was performed on t…
