A VR-based serious game to regulate joy in adolescents: A comparison of different devices
2016
Adolescence is a crucial period to learn Emotional Regulation (ER) strategies to prevent future psychological problems. This work is aimed to test the efficacy of GameTeen System (GT-System), a serious game that teaches ER strategies to regulate joy (VAS scale) and perceived arousal (FAS scale) in a non-clinical sample of adolescents. We conducted a between-participants experiment in which participants (N = 63) played a joy induction game, and then an ER game using one of three types of devices (computer, smartphone, and RGB-D camera). Results revealed that GT-System was only effective in increase perceived arousal after the joy induction game and decrease after the ER game. Statistically s…
Physics Principles of the Infrared Thermography and Human Thermoregulation
2016
Although it is easy to capture a thermal image with infrared thermography, it is necessary to have the basic knowledge about how it works and the physical laws relating to it, as well as the radiative characteristics of the different bodies, and how heat is transferred between space and bodies. This knowledge is essential to establishing a logical hypothesis, using the camera rigorously, and interpreting the thermal data correctly. The aim of this chapter is to present the basic physical principles of infrared thermography, heat transfer and human thermoregulation.

Methodological Aspects of Infrared Thermography in Human Assessment
2016
Infrared thermography presents some important advantages in the determination of skin temperature, as it is a safe, non-invasive and non-contact technique with wide applications in the field of sports sciences. Like many others techniques, valid measurement in thermography requires following strict methodological steps from data acquisition to analyses and interpretation. In this chapter, we discuss the methodological aspects that must be taken into account when acquiring thermic images, along with some practical examples and recommendations based on the current literature.
CO-74: Altérations majeures du sphingophospholipidome des lipoprotéines de haute densité (HDL) de patients avec syndrome métabolique et glycémie norm…
2016
Rationnel Les phospholipides et sphingolipides jouent un role primordial dans la fonctionnalite et le role anti-atherogene des HDL. Ces proprietes sont alterees chez les patients porteurs d'un syndrome metabolique avant meme l'apparition d'une hyperglycemie. Nous avons donc recherche si les HDL de ces patients presentaient des anomalies de leur sphingophospholipidome. Patients et Methodes Par chromatographie liquide couplee a la spectrometrie de masse en tandem, nous avons quantifie 80 especes moleculaires des principales classes de phospholipides et sphingolipides des HDL2 et HDL3, chez 26 patients avec un syndrome metabolique et une glycemie a jeun nor-male (14 hommes, 12 femmes, âge moye…

Analyse de l’impact des facteurs socioéconomiques sur la sévérité initiale des accidents vasculaires cérébraux en France métropolitaine et aux Antill…
2016
Introduction Malgre un systeme de sante tres favorable, les inegalites sociales de sante se sont creusees en France au cours des deux dernieres decennies. En depit de cette situation, l’impact des facteurs socioeconomiques a ete peu etudie a l’echelle individuelle sur le territoire francais et les donnees a meme de mobiliser les acteurs restent insuffisantes. Par ailleurs le retentissement des AVC sur l’etat de sante des francais est considerable : premiere cause de handicap de l’adulte, deuxieme cause de demence, troisieme cause de mortalite. De plus, le niveau socioeconomique, par son impact sur les facteurs de risque d’AVC, est susceptible d’affecter les manifestations cliniques initiale…

Participation and performance trends in ultra-triathlons from 1985 to 2009
2010
We examined the changes in participation and performance trends in ultra-triathlons, from the Double Iron (7.6 km swimming, 360 km cycling, 84.4 km running) to the Deca Iron (38 km swimming, 1800 km cycling, 422 km running), between 1985 (first year of a Double Iron) and 2009 (25 years). The mean finish rate for all distances and races was 75.8%. Women accounted for ∼8-10% of the ultra-triathlons starters. For Double and Triple Iron, the number of finishers per year increased, from 17 to 98 and from 7 to 41, respectively. In the Deca Iron, the finishers per race have remained <20 since the first event was held, up to 2009. Concerning World best performances, the men were ∼19% faster than th…
