Relever du sol et maladie d’Alzheimer

2017

Introduction Chez les personnes âgees fragiles, l’incapacite a se relever du sol provient regulierement d’une fragilisation des automatismes moteurs [1] . La presence d’un trouble cognitif doit etre consideree comme un facteur aggravant cette fragilite motrice [2] . Le protocole experimental suivant vise a tester l’efficacite de l’entrainement au relever du sol et de son impact sur les capacites posturo-motrices des sujets âges fragiles presentant un trouble cognitif. Materiel, population et methode Seize personnes âgees (m = 85,5 ans ± 2,5) atteintes d’une maladie d’Alzheimer ont participe. L’organisation du protocole est representee sur la Figure 1 . Resultats Apres verification de ses co…

Et si l’important n’était pas la chute mais de réussir à se relever du sol ?

2018

L’incidence des chutes lors du vieillissement reflete l’importance de ne pas banaliser cet evenement. De plus, la station prolongee au sol est source de complications graves chez le sujet âge [1] . En effet, la moitie des personnes restant au sol plus d’une heure decede dans les 6 mois apres la chute [2] . Notre sensibilite de kinesitherapeute est attiree par une autre donnee statistique : la moitie des personnes âgees qui ont chute sont incapables de se relever seule malgre l’absence de blessure grave [3] . L’incapacite de se relever du sol constitue un facteur predictif de chute [4] . Cette impossibilite peut etre mise en lien avec deux causes principales : la presence de contraintes biom…

Social integration of Ethiopian and Eritrean women in Switzerland through informal sport settings

2021

This study investigated the role of informal sport settings (i.e. self-organised and non-voluntary sports clubs) in the social integration of Ethiopian and Eritrean women into Swiss society. Social integration seen as a multidimensional, interdependent process between the interaction of social bond, bridge and links; and two-way interaction between the migrant and local community. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (n���=���12, 18���51���years old) was used to understand the interplay between social integration and participation in informal sport settings. The findings indicated that such settings have become a crucial sphere for establishing and reb…

Betulinic Acid Exerts Cytotoxic Activity Against Multidrug-Resistant Tumor Cells via Targeting Autocrine Motility Factor Receptor (AMFR).

2018

Betulinic acid (BetA) is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene isolated from the outer bark of white-barked birch trees and many other medicinal plants. Here, we studied betulinic acid's cytotoxic activity against drug-resistant tumor cell lines. P-glycoprotein (MDR1/ABCB1) and BCRP (ABCG2) are known ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug transporters that mediating MDR. ABCB5 is a close relative to ABCB1, which also mediates MDR. Constitutive activation of the EGF receptor is tightly linked to the development of chemotherapeutic resistance. BetA inhibited P-gp, BCRP, ABCB5 and mutation activated EGFR overexpressing cells with similar efficacy as their drug-sensitive parental counterparts. …

Clinical effect of diode laser on peri-implant tissues during non-surgical peri-implant mucositis therapy: Randomized controlled clinical study

2019

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the response to the non-surgical treatment of peri-implant mucositis using the diode laser as an adjuvant therapy in patients with implant-supported restorations, in terms of clinical variables, with respect to those patients in whom conventional non-surgical therapy is used. Material and Methods: Randomized controlled clinical trial with simple blind 3 months follow-up. Two groups of patients were established, the non-surgical mechanical debridement of the affected implants was performed in the control group (n = 34) and the diode laser therapy was also performed in the test group (n = 34). The implant was considered the study subject; the v…

The effect of photodynamic therapy and polymer solution containing nano-particles of Ag /ZnO on push-out bond strength of the sealers AH-Plus and MTA…

2017

BACKGROUND The aim of this in vitrostudy was to examine and compare the effect of photodynamic therapy and solution containing nano particles Ag/ZnO on adhesion of endodontic sealers to dentinal walls of human root canal. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninty single-rooted human teeth were selected and their clinical crown was cut from the cemento-enamel junction zone. Canals were prepared by RaCe rotary system and the smear layer was removed using 17% EDTA and 5.25% NaOCl. Samples were randomly divided into two groups of AH Plus and MTA Fillapex based on the sealer type and each group based on antimicrobial method was divided into two sub-groups of photodynamic therapy and polymer containing nano par…
