Demonstration of endogenous lectins in synovial tissue.
1991
We have recently shown that synoviocytes and extracellular matrices exhibit distinct patterns of carbohydrate expression. Their biological relevance is however not known. The purpose of the present study was to find out whether human synovial tissue would also show a specific receptor pattern for complex sugar molecules. Endogenous lectins were displayed by means of biotinylated neoglycoproteins and sulfated polysaccharides in paraffin-embedded material or cryosections. In addition to certain carbohydrate components that are known to be constituents of the carbohydrate part of cellular glycoconjugates, our panel included heparin and fucoidan, a sulfated fucose. Binding sites were shown usin…
A study of reproducibility of kinesiology tape applications: review, reliability and validity
2017
Abstract Background Literature addressing the mechanical properties of kinesiology tape is quite scarce. There are no studies which focus on the mechanical characteristics of kinesiology tape, its mechanical properties, nor its adherence following the ISO international standard test methods for tape elongation. Methods This study quantified the mechanical characteristics of 380 samples of kinesiology tape from 19 different brands and in 4 different colors using a dynamometer. Mechanical testing was controlled by UNE EN ISO 13934-1. Results Significant differences were found between tape brands in terms of grammage, maximum force tenacity, work, pre-elongation and percentage elongation (P < …
Infections sévères à pyogènes chez les patients traités par infliximab. Étude d’une cohorte régionale
2005
Resume Objectif. – Apprecier la prevalence des infections severes a pyogenes chez les patients traites par infliximab en pratique courante, et essayer de degager des facteurs favorisants. Methodes. – Etude portant sur une cohorte de patients traites dans un reseau regional par infliximab pour polyarthrite rhumatoide ou spondylarthrite ankylosante, et suivis de facon prospective a l’aide d’une feuille de recueil des donnees standardisee. Les observations des patients ayant presente une infection grave a pyogene ont ete analysees, et comparees a celles des autres patients. Resultats. – La cohorte comportait 83 patients (55 femmes et 28 hommes), dont cinq (6 %) ont presente une infection sever…
Prédiction de la réponse aux traitements de fond antirhumatismaux (DMARD) dans la polyarthrite rhumatoïde
2010
Resume Objectif Examiner les facteurs potentiels predictifs de la reponse aux traitements de fond (DMARD) classiques dans la polyarthrite rhumatoide (PR). Methodes (1) design de l’etude : etude prospective sur six mois de suivi. Participants : patients avec une PR active ; (2) intervention et suivi : introduction d’un DMARD. Reponse au traitement evaluee a six mois (criteres ACR20) ; (3) analyse : facteurs potentiels predictifs de la reponse : criteres demographiques, activite de la maladie, pourcentages de sous-populations de cellules mononucleees du sang peripherique (CMSP) exprimant la glycoproteine P, taux d’interleukine 1 beta (IL-1β) serique, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 et de facteur de…
Die chronische rekurrierende multifokale Osteomyelitis in Assoziation mit chronisch entz�ndlichen Darmerkrankungen: Die enteropathische CRMO
2003
Die enterogenen reaktiven Arthritiden und die enteropathischen Spondarthritiden sind rheumatische Erkrankungen, bei denen enge Beziehungen zwischen Darm und Synovium bestehen. Das Konzept der Mucosa-Synovium-Iteropathie (gut iteropathy concept) stellt dabei eine immunpathologisch interessante Theorie dar. Die Assoziation von Krankheitsfallen der SAPHO-Entitaten mit chronisch entzundlichen Darmerkrankungen hingegen ist in der Literatur bislang wenig bekannt. Unter unseren 138 Fallen des (nosologisch heterogenen) SAPHO-Kollektivs fanden wir funfmal diese enteropathische Assoziation, viermal weiblich, zweimal juvenil-adoleszent und dreimal adult; viermal betreffend die Crohn’sche Krankheit und…
Physiotherapists' lived experiences of decision making in therapeutic encounters with persons suffering from whiplash-associated disorder: A hermeneu…
2020
Conceptual discussions related to clinical reasoning and decision making have evolved over the years from biomedical to incorporating more holistic approach to reasoning. Empirical studies exploring clinical reasoning and decision making in physiotherapy practice have mostly focused on aspects of managing persons with low back pain, such as exercise prescription, education and communicating diagnosis. There is a paucity of studies exploring decision making in whiplash‐associated disorder (WAD); thus, the aim of this study was to explore the physiotherapists' lived experiences of decision making related to treating persons with WAD. A qualitative research design based on hermeneutic phenomen…
Preventing Violence and Social Exclusion through Sport and Physical Activity: The SAVE Project
2018
Sport Against Violence and Exclusion (SAVE), a project cofounded by the Erasmus + Program of the European Union, seeks to prevent violent and socially exclusive behaviors through physical activity. The current editorial shows a range of possible interpretations of these two phenomena from both a psychological and sociological point of view, offering helpful methods to coaches who train children (ages 6 to 12)in grass-root sport clubs. Following a thorough analysis, partners from seven EU countries (Lithuania, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Austria, and Spain) will be able to identify skills and techniques for coaches to ensure inclusive training methods as well as to provid…
Moral Disengagement in Youth Athletes: A Narrative Review
2022
The sports environment can be considered as a context characterized by interactions typical of social groups, where children have the chance to learn good values. Positive and negative behaviours in sports, also called prosocial and antisocial behaviours, have been studied according to a moral perspective, as has doping behaviour, taking into consideration the concept of moral disengagement. Moral disengagement in children has been associated with maladaptive behaviours later in life, even though it should disappear with growth. Concerning the sports environment, previous reviews on the topic have extensively illustrated the role of moral variables in sport and their relation to antisocial …
Match Load Physical Demands in U-19 Professional Soccer Players Assessed by a Wearable Inertial Sensor
2023
Background: Wearable inertial sensors are poorly used in soccer to monitor external load (EL) indicators. However, these devices could be useful for improving sports performance and potentially reducing the risk of injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the EL indicators (i.e., cinematic, mechanical, and metabolic) differences between playing positions (i.e., central backs, external strikers, fullbacks, midfielders, and wide midfielder) during the first half time of four official matches (OMs). Methods: 13 young professional soccer players (Under-19; age: 18.5 ± 0.4 years; height: 177 ± 6 cm; weight: 67 ± 4.8 kg) were monitored through a wearable inertial sens…
Cognitive and motivational monitoring during enriched sport activities in a sample of children living in Europe. The ESA program
2017
Enriched Sport Activities (ESA) Program is an Evidence-based Practice Exercise Program cofounded by the Erasmus + Programme of the European Union (Key action: Sport-579661-EPP-1-2016-2-IT-SPO-SCP). It aims to enhance social inclusion, equal opportunities and psycho-physical wellbeing in children with typical development and special needs. This aim will be pursued through two ways: (1) Children and preadolescents’ participation in Enriched Sport Activities (ESA) Program; (2) Parents’ involvement and education on cognitive, motivational and social benefits of Physical Activities (PA) in their children. Recent research showed that high-level cognitive processes, such as inhibition, shifting, w…
