Actions différentielles de xéno-hormones alimentaires sur les organes reproducteurs, le foie et le tissu adipeux chez le rat femelle : aspects endocr…

2007

Differential actions of dietary xenohormones on the reproductive organs, the liver and the adipose tissue in the female rat : endocrine, metabolic and morphogenetic aspects regarding the carcinogenic process. Over the past décades, the incidence of hormone-dependent cancers has dramatically increased in Western countries as compared to Asian countries. Environmental and dietary compounds able to mimic and interfère with endogenous hormones, especially reproductive ones, may be involved and among these xenohormones. xenoestrogens (XE) are particularly pointed at. The objective of this thesis was to détermine the conséquences of chronic dietary exposure to phytoestrogens and chemical xenoestr…

Dual attachment pairs in categorically-algebraic topology

2011

[EN] The paper is a continuation of our study on developing a new approach to (lattice-valued) topological structures, which relies on category theory and universal algebra, and which is called categorically-algebraic (catalg) topology. The new framework is used to build a topological setting, based in a catalg extension of the set-theoretic membership relation "e" called dual attachment, thereby dualizing the notion of attachment introduced by the authors earlier. Following the recent interest of the fuzzy community in topological systems of S. Vickers, we clarify completely relationships between these structures and (dual) attachment, showing that unlike the former, the latter have no inh…

Anthropometric measures of 9-to 10-year-old native tibetan children living at 3700 and 4300m above sea level and han Chinese living at 3700m

2015

A high residential altitude impacts on the growth of children, and it has been suggested that linear growth (height) is more affected than body mass. The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of obesity, overweight, underweight, and stunting in groups of native Tibetan children living at different residential altitudes (3700 vs 4300 m above sea level) and across ancestry (native Tibetan vs Han Chinese children living at the same altitude of 3700 m), as well as to examine the total effect of residential altitude and ancestry with stunting. Two cross-sectional studies of 1207 school children aged 9 to 10 years were conducted in Lhasa in 2005 and Tingri in 2007. Conventional …

Radiological Assessment of Pediatric Scoliosis Patients

2021

Nosaukums: Radioloģiskais izmeklējums pediatriskiem pacientiem ar skoliozi Autore: Saara Anni Susanna Suomalainen, medicīnas studente Darba vadītājs: Dr. med. Paulis Laizāns un Dr. med. Jānis Upenieks Priekšvēsture : Skolioze ir sānu novirze, kas pārsniedz 10 grādus no normāla mugurkaula, mērot pēc rentgenogrammas, un tāpēc, ka sānu līkne ir saistīta ar skriemeļu rotāciju līknes iekšienē, rodas trīsdimensiju deformācija. Idiopātiskā skolioze bērnu populācijā ir sadalīta trīs vecuma grupās - zīdaiņu, bērnu un pusaudžu. Radiogrāfiskais novērtējums ir galīgās diagnozes pīlārs. Labi uzņemtos rentgenogrammās var novērtēt segmentācijas anomāliju raksturojumu, izliekumu veidu un to elastību, kā ar…

La DaD nell’emergenza Covid19: restrizione spaziale e sfida per una nuova temporalizzazione

2020

L’introduzione della DaD nell’università, come risposta di emergenza alla pandemia del Covid19, ha comportato inevitabilmente il sacrificio della dimensione spaziale nel percorso formativo degli studenti e nella loro socialità. Questa restrizione, tuttavia, può creare il presupposto per riguadagnare in intensità ciò che si perde in estensione e ripensare, in termini filosofici, il rapporto tra temporalizzazione e spazializzazione nel processo di costruzione della personalità nella sua coscienza storica. The introduction of the DDA in the university, as an emergency response to the Covid19 pandemic, inevitably entailed the sacrifice of the spatial dimension in the training of students and in…

Prevalence and characteristics of antidepressant drug prescriptions in older Italian patients.

2012

ABSTRACTBackground: During last few decades, the proportion of elderly persons prescribed with antidepressants for the treatment of depression and anxiety has increased. The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence of antidepressant prescription and related factors in elderly in-patients, as well as the consistency between prescription of antidepressants and specific diagnoses requiring these medications.Methods: Thirty-four internal medicine and four geriatric wards in Italy participated in the Registro Politerapie SIMI–REPOSI study during 2008. In all, 1,155 in-patients, 65 years or older, were enrolled. Prevalence of the use of antidepressants was calculated at both admission and dis…

Association between clusters of diseases and polypharmacy in hospitalized elderly patients: results from the REPOSI study.

2011

BACKGROUND: Although the association between multimorbidity and polypharmacy has been clearly documented, no study has analyzed whether or not specific combinations of diseases influence the prescription of polypharmacy in older persons. We assessed which clusters of diseases are associated with polypharmacy in acute-care elderly in-patients. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was held in 38 Italian internal medicine and geriatric wards participating in the Registro Politerapie SIMI (REPOSI) study during 2008. The study sample included 1155 in-patients aged 65 years or older. Clusters of diseases, defined as two or more co-occurring specific chronic diseases, were identified using the odds…

Performance of PSI, CURB-65, and SCAP scores in predicting the outcome of patients with community-acquired and healthcare-associated pneumonia

2011

The objective was to compare three score systems, pneumonia severity index (PSI), the Confusion-Urea-Respiratory Rate-Blood pressure-65 (CURB-65), and severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP), for prediction of the outcomes in a cohort of patients with community-acquired (CAP) and healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP). Large multi-center, prospective, observational study was conducted in 55 hospitals. HCAP patients were included in the high classes of CURB-65, PSI and SCAP scores have a mortality rate higher than that of CAP patients. HCAP patients included in the low class of the three severity rules have a significantly higher incidence of adverse events, including development of septi…

High-pressure characterization of multifunctional CrVO4

2020

[EN] The structural stability and physical properties of CrVO(4)under compression were studied by x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, optical absorption, resistivity measurements, andab initiocalculations up to 10 GPa. High-pressure x-ray diffraction and Raman measurements show that CrVO(4)undergoes a phase transition from the ambient pressure orthorhombic CrVO4-type structure (Cmcm space group, phase III) to the high-pressure monoclinic CrVO4-V phase, which is proposed to be isomorphic to the wolframite structure. Such a phase transition (CrVO4-type -> wolframite), driven by pressure, also was previously observed in indium vanadate. The crystal structure of both phases and the pressure …
