Management of giant cell arteritis: Recommendations of the French Study Group for Large Vessel Vasculitis (GEFA).
2016
Abstract Purpose Management of giant cell arteritis (GCA, Horton's disease) involves many uncertainties. This work was undertaken to establish French recommendations for GCA management. Methods Recommendations were developed by a multidisciplinary panel of 33 physicians, members of the French Study Group for Large Vessel Vasculitis (Groupe d’etude francais des arterites des gros vaisseaux [GEFA]). The topics to be addressed, selected from proposals by group members, were assigned to subgroups to summarize the available literature and draft recommendations. Following an iterative consensus-seeking process that yielded consensus recommendations, the degree of agreement among panel members was…
Documento de consenso sobre asma y tabaquismo del Foro Autonómico de Asma de la SEPAR
2021
La prevalencia de tabaquismo activo en adultos con asma es similar a la de la población general. El tabaquismo se asocia con un peor control clínico de la enfermedad, una disminución acelerada de la función pulmonar y una respuesta irregular a la terapia con glucocorticoides. El consumo de tabaco impacta negativamente en la calidad de vida de los pacientes asmáticos y provoca un incremento en el número de visitas y de hospitalizaciones por exacerbaciones. Además, el tabaquismo aumenta el riesgo de cáncer de pulmón, comorbilidades cardiovasculares y muerte en pacientes asmáticos. A pesar de todo ello, las guías actuales del manejo del asma no incluyen recomendaciones específicas para el mane…
Recommendations for the clinical use of somatosensory-evoked potentials
2008
The International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) is in the process of updating its Recommendations for clinical practice published in 1999. These new recommendations dedicated to somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) update the methodological aspects and general clinical applications of standard SEPs, and introduce new sections dedicated to the anatomical-functional organization of the somatosensory system and to special clinical applications, such as intraoperative monitoring, recordings in the intensive care unit, pain-related evoked potentials, and trigeminal and pudendal SEPs. Standard SEPs have gained an established role in the health system, and the special clinical ap…
Validation of two short questionnaires assessing physical activity in colorectal cancer patients
2018
Background In order to investigate the impact of adherence to recommendations of physical activity and sedentary time on health outcomes in clinical trials, there is a need for feasible tools such as questionnaires that can give representative estimates of these measures. The primary aim of the present study was to validate two such questionnaires and their ability to estimate adherence to the recommendations of physical activity defined as moderate-to- vigorous physical activity or moderate physical activity of at least 150 min/week in colorectal cancer patients. Secondarily, self-reported sedentary time from the HUNT-PAQ was also evaluated. Methods Participants from 'The Norwegian dietary…
Manejo de la hipertensión arterial en niños y adolescentes: recomendaciones de la Sociedad Europea de Hipertensión
2010
Resumen: La hipertensión en niños y adolescentes ha ido ganando terreno en la medicina cardiovascular, gracias a los avances producidos en distintas áreas de la investigación fisiopatológica y clínica. Estas guías nacen del consenso al que han llegado los especialistas en la detección y control de la hipertensión en niños y adolescentes. Por otra parte, dichas guías son un compendio de los datos científicos y la extensa experiencia clínica con la que se cuenta, y constituyen la información clínica más completa que los médicos, enfermeras y familiares deberían tener en cuenta a la hora de tomar decisiones. Estas guías, que hacen hincapié en la importancia de la hipertensión en niños y adoles…
Physical activity on days with and without soccer practice in 12-13-year-old boys
2019
Introduction: Majority of children are unable to meet the recommended 60min of daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Even participation into organized sport may not guarantee that recommended amount of activity is reached. Objectives: Purpose of this study was to examine the amount and intensity of physical activity (PA) on days with and without practices and to find out whether daytime PA preceding soccer practice is associated with certain practice-time PA intensity level. Methods: Daily light, moderate and vigorous PA of 18 boys between 12 and 13 years of age engaged in soccer was measured for 9 days with and without soccer practices with wrist-worn Polar A300 activity met…
Development of healthy eating habits early in life. Review of recent evidence and selected guidelines
2011
Encouraging healthy eating habit development early in life is a way to prevent the onset of diet-related diseases. This review focuses on the period ranging from the beginning of complementary feeding until the age of 3 years. Its first objective was to review relevant themes in the most recent literature on the development of healthy eating habits in this period. Its second objective was to evaluate to what extent international and national feeding guidelines cover these themes. Analysed guidelines included WHO, European Network for Public Health Nutrition, US and two European national guidelines (UK and France). They were evaluated using a 4-pt scale and compared. Well-covered themes in c…

Cohort profile: Thrombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Patients (TRISP): a multicentre research collaboration
2018
PurposeThe ThRombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Patients (TRISP) collaboration aims to address clinically relevant questions about safety and outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular thrombectomy. The findings can provide observational information on treatment of patients derived from everyday clinical practice.ParticipantsTRISP is an open, investigator-driven collaborative research initiative of European stroke centres with expertise in treatment with revascularisation therapies and maintenance of hospital-based registries. All participating centres made a commitment to prospectively collect data on consecutive patients with stroke treated with IVT using standardised definiti…
Kavereiden tuen yhteys lasten ja nuorten liikunta-aktiivisuuteen ja seuraharrastamiseen
2017
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää kavereiden yhteyttä lasten ja nuorten liikunta-aktiivisuuteen ja urheiluseurassa harrastamiseen. Tutkielmassa tarkasteltiin viides-, seitsemäs- ja yhdeksäsluokkalaisten lasten ja nuorten liikuntakäyttäytymistä sekä sitä, millainen yhteys heidän kavereillaan siihen oli. Tutkimus perustui maaliskuussa 2016 kerättyyn valtakunnallisen LIITU-tutkimuksen aineistoon. LIITU-tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin sähköisellä kyselylomakkeella ja vastaajia oli yhteensä 5586. Vastaajista 1989 oli viidesluokkalaisia, 1948 seitsemäsluokkalaisia ja 1649 yhdeksäsluokkalaisia. Aineisto analysoitiin ristiintaulukoinnilla, khiin neliötestillä (χ²) sekä yksisuun…
