Stress fractures in elite male football players

2010

The objective was to investigate the incidence, type and distribution of stress fractures in professional male football players. Fifty-four football teams, comprising 2379 players, were followed prospectively for 189 team seasons during the years 2001-2009. Team medical staff recorded individual player exposure and time-loss injuries. The first team squads of 24 clubs selected by UEFA as belonging to the 50 best European teams, 15 teams of the Swedish Super League and 15 teams playing their home matches on artificial turf pitches were included. In total, 51 stress fractures occurred during 1,180,000 h of exposure, giving an injury incidence of 0.04 injuries/1000 h. A team of 25 players can …

Subperiosteal Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Located in the Fifth Metatarsal Shaft in a 13 Year-Old Girl

2010

Abstract Objective We present s a case of aneurysmal bone cyst, unusual and rare, both for its location and its initial clinical and radiographic presentation. Case report A girl of 13 years consulting for atraumatic pain in the outer edge of right foot, with a normal initial X-ray and then one month later presented with a subperiosteal tumour lesion in the fifth metatarsal shaft, which was definitively diagnosed as an aneurysmal bone cyst, Campanacci type IV. Conclusions There are few cases in the literature of aneurysmal bone cyst with these characteristics. Such lesions may pose significant diagnostic difficulties with other pathologies, such as tumours, stress fractures or infections, d…

Schlingenplastiken in der Therapie der weiblichen Harninkontinenz

2001

Traditionally, women with type III stress incontinence (intrinsic sphincter deficiency) are treated with sling procedures, which have undergone multiple modifications during the last 90 years regarding surgical approach, sling course, and materials. The latest variation of the established sling concept is the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure. The choice of sling material influences the postoperative complication rate and reveals a conflict between unrestricted availability (alloplastic material) and optimal tissue compatibility (autologous material). Although valid information about the surgical outcome of sling procedures is rare, at least some evidence-based conclusions may be dr…

Pharmacotherapy of female urinary incontinence

2005

Urinary incontinence is a major clinical problem and a significant cause of disability and dependency in older adults. Overall, the prevalence of urinary incontinence approaches 55% among women aged over 55 years. The past few years have seen significant advances in the pharmacotherapy of overactive bladder and stress incontinence. The review examines the evidence regarding their benefits and side-effects.

Sacubitril/Valsartan Improves Autonomic Function and Cardiopulmonary Parameters in Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

2020

Background: Heart rate recovery (HRR) is a marker of vagal tone, which is a powerful predictor of mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Sacubitril/valsartan (S/V) is a treatment for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), which impressively impacts cardiovascular outcome. This study aims at evaluating the effects of S/V on HRR and its correlation with cardiopulmonary indexes in HFrEF patients. Methods: Patients with HFrEF admitted to outpatients&rsquo

To foster understanding in the psychopathology of patients with anorexia nervosa (PAN) at the psychological and physiological level, standardized experimental studies on reliable biomarkers are needed, especially due to the lack of disorder-specific samples. To this end, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) response to a psychosocial stressor was investigated in n = 19 PAN (BMI: 18.7 ± 3.3 kg/m2), age, and gender-matched to n = 19 healthy controls (HC; BMI: 24.23 ± 3.0 kg/m2). For this purpose, heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters were assessed in a cross-sectional study design under two experimental conditions: (1) rest and (2) stress (Trier Social Stress Test). In add…

Xanthine Oxidase Is Involved in Free Radical Production in Type 1 Diabetes

2002

The aim of this work was to study the mechanism of free radical formation in type 1 diabetes and its possible prevention. We have found oxidation of blood glutathione and an increase in plasma lipoperoxide levels in both human type 1 diabetes and experimental diabetes. Peroxide production by mitochondria does not increase in diabetes. On the contrary, the activity of xanthine oxidase, a superoxide-generating enzyme, increases in liver and plasma of diabetic animals. The increase in plasma xanthine oxidase activity may be explained by the increase in the hepatic release of this enzyme, which is not due to nonspecific membrane damage: release of other hepatic enzymes, such as the amino transf…

Causal analysis of short-term cardiovascular variability: state-dependent contribution of feedback and feedforward mechanisms.

2016

Baroreflex function is usually assessed from spontaneous oscillations of blood pressure (BP) and cardiac RR interval assuming a unidirectional influence from BP to RR. However, the interaction of BP and RR is bidirectional—RR also influences BP. Novel methods based on the concept of Granger causality were recently developed for separate analysis of feedback (baroreflex) and feedforward (mechanical) interactions between RR and BP. We aimed at assessing the proportion of the two causal directions of the interactions between RR and systolic BP (SBP) oscillations during various conditions, and at comparing causality measures from SBP to RR with baroreflex gain indexes. Arterial BP and ECG sig…

Stress and recovery assessment during simulated microgravity: Effects of exercise during a long-term head down tilt bed rest in women.

2009

International audience; The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a 60-day head-down tilt long-term bed rest (HDT) on stress and recovery in sixteen healthy female volunteers. Participants were randomly assigned to either an exercise group (Exe) that followed a training program combining resistive and aerobic exercises, or to a no-exercise control group (Ctl). Psychological states were assessed using the Rest-Q, a validated questionnaire based on stress-recovery responses. A longitudinal analysis revealed significant changes in the general and specific-stress scales for all participants throughout the experiment with a critical stage from supine to standing posture leading to a …
