In vivo Antimicrobial Activity Assessment of a Cauliflower By-Product Extract Against Salmonella Typhimurium
2020
The main objective of this work was to study the antimicrobial effect of a cauliflower by-product infusion into an affordable in vivo model (Caenorhabditis elegans). The infusion demonstrated some protective effect on non-infected and infected worms with Salmonella Typhimurium as indicated by higher survival percentile values (75, 50, 25, and 5% percentiles) as compared with those from worms unexposed to the infusion. The antimicrobial effect of the infusion was evaluated on Salmonella intestinal colonization of infected worms (24, 48, and 96 h post-infection). At 96 h post-infection, the concentration of Salmonella was reduced around 2 log cycles in infected cauliflower treated group (p < …
Physical Activity Levels in Preschool Children During Winter and Summer
2019
Source at https://fysioterapeuten.no/Tidsskrifter. Bakgrunn: Studier nasjonalt og internasjonalt indikerer at barn i alderen tre til fem år ikke oppnår retningslinjene for anbefalingene (2014) om minimum 60 minutter med moderat til høy fysisk aktivitet (MVPA) per dag. Studiens hovedmål var å undersøke fysisk aktivitetsnivå hos barnehagebarn i tre barnehager i alderen tre til fem år i en periode om vinteren og en periode om våren/sommeren. Metode: Fysisk aktivitet ble målt i barnehagetiden fra mandag til onsdag med aktivitetsmåleren Actigraph GT3X. Aktivitetsnivået ble kategorisert ut fra antall akselerometer- tellinger/min, hvor hovedvariabelen var tid i moderat til høy fysisk aktivitet (MV…
Reliability and concurrent validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form among pregnant women
2017
Abstract Sanda B, Vistad I, Haakstad LAH, Berntsen S, Sagedal LR, Lohne-Seiler H, Torstveit MK. Reliability and concurrent validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form among pregnant women. Background The International Physical Activity Questionnaire short-form (IPAQ-SF) is frequently used to assess physical activity (PA) level in the general adult population including pregnant women. However, the reliability and validity of the questionnaire in pregnancy is unknown. Therefore, the aims of the present study were to investigate test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of IPAQ-SF among pregnant women, and whether PA is reported differently among those who fu…
