Between looking back and moving ahead : an exploration of the role of the body and its movement in a music therapy case study

2017

We exist in this world through our bodies. Every single experience is stored in it, it helps us to communicate with others, relate and build meaningful relationships. However, when the connection to our experiences or the control over our body is disrupted by a traumatic experience or disease, we become disconnected from our genuine self and the world around us. Music therapy provides us with a space for integration – of painful or joyful memories, emotions, and our bodies. Especially in Western cultures this physical relationship to music is often neglected, even though music and dance probably developed simultaneously and are still very much the same in some African cultures. When we are …

Physiological and Molecular Adaptations to Strength Training

2019

High muscle contraction forces that lead to gains in muscle function, size, and strength characterize resistance exercise training. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the adaptations in myofiber size and metabolism that occur by stimuli of hormones and local growth factors, mechanical and metabolic stress of muscle tissue, and myofibrillar disruptions induced by a resistance exercise bout. The chapter will highlight the network of intracellular pathways (including mTOR signaling) that ultimately lead to increases in gene expression and protein synthesis. Accumulation of acute exercise responses by systematic training over time modulate the muscle proteome that can be observed as chan…

Choroidal thickness in glaucoma patients and glaucoma suspects measured by spectral domain coherence optical tomography

2012

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate and compare retro-foveolar choroidal thickness (RFCT) of healthy subjects, individuals with intraocular hypertension, patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).Methods: Sixty-five healthy eyes, 30 eyes with intraocular hypertension, 90 eyes with POAG, 30 eyes with NTG and 20 eyes with PACG were included in this cross-sectional study. RFCT, foveolar retinal thickness and average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) were measured by SD-OCT (Spectralis HRA-OCT, Heidelberg Engineer…

Cholesterol homeostasis and retinal stress in anterior ischemic optic neuropathy

2016

Purpose: Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is characterized by acute stress of retinal ganglion cells (RGC). Cholesterol-24S-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) is specifically expressed in RGC where it may exert neuroprotective properties by preventing from cholesterol accumulation via catalyzing the formation of 24S-hydroxycholesterol. Previous findings hypothesize the housekeeping importance of CYP46A1 in the maintenance of cholesterol in the retina. In order to better understand the role of CYP46A1 in the retina, we aimed to define whether CYP46A1 expression and 24S-hydroxycholesterol levels were modified during RGC stress in AION.Methods: Ninety nine male Sprague Dawley rats were randomized …

Maintenance of anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents for patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery

2009

International audience; Purpose: To establish the prevalence of anticoagulant, aspirin, and clopidogrel use in patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery, and to compare the outcome of peribulbar anesthesia between users and non-users. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series in one academic center between January and June 2009. We analyzed the chart of 239 eyes who underwent posterior segment surgery with peribulbar anesthesia. Data included age, reasons for anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet agents, operative procedure, history of diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, axial globe length, pre and post operative visual acuity, complications rates during and after anes…
