The hard road to data interpretation: 3 or 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage III colon cancer?

2019

Background Six months of adjuvant oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy is standard for patients with stage III colon cancer following surgery. However, oxaliplatin is associated with peripheral neurotoxicity which worsens over treatment duration. Consequently, a shorter treatment duration, if equally effective, would be extremely beneficial. A pooled analysis of data for 12 834 stage III colon cancer patients, from six randomised phase III trials of adjuvant therapy, the International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant chemotherapy study, was carried out and the results presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting 2017. To clarify the potential impact of these results on clinical practice, ESMO decided to s…

Validation of the Satisfaction Questionnaire with physical education classes (CSCEF) in the Latin American context

2020

The objective of this study was to validate the Satisfaction Questionnaire in Physical Education Classes (CSCEF) in the context of Latin America (Dominican Republic). 1298 students aged between 15 and 21 participated. The psychometric properties of the instrument were analysed. The results demonstrated that the best factor solution would be a multidimensional model represented by nine dimensions for the satisfaction construct, as well as a higher-order model. According to Cronbach's alpha and omega index, values between .66 and .99 were obtained. The Latin American version of the CSCEF was invariant with respect to gender. Although the results of this study support the validity and reliabil…

Körperliche Aktivität und deren Effekte auf das Burn-out-Syndrom

2020

ZusammenfassungDas vorliegende Review legt dar, dass regelmäßige körperliche Aktivität einen positiven Einfluss auf die Burn-out-Symptomatik hat. Mittels einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurden die möglichen Effekte untersucht und die Evidenz mithilfe des Standard Index of Convergence (SIC) bewertet. Der SIC lag in den Längsschnittstudien bei SIC (3) = -1, während er in den Interventionsstudien bei SIC (6) = -0,50 lag. Daher ist jeweils von einer moderat star ken Evidenz auszugehen, dass körperliche Aktivität einen positiven gesundheitlichen Effekt auf das Burn-out-Syndrom hat. Aufgrund der Heterogenität der Erhebungstools und der Studienlage ist es notwendig, weitere qualitativ hoch…

Menstrual dysfunction and body weight dissatisfaction among Finnish young athletes and non-athletes.

2020

To determine the prevalence of menstrual dysfunction (MD; i.e. oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea) and attitudes towards body weight among athletes and non‐athletes, we studied a cohort of athletes and non‐athletes, in adolescence (14–16 years) and subsequently in young adulthood (18–20 years). We further studied the differences between athletes reporting MD and eumenorrheic athletes at both time periods and identified physical and behavioural characteristicsthat might predict MD in young adulthood. Data were collected using questionnaires, accelerometers, and a pre‐participation screening. In adolescence, the athletes reported current primary amenorrhea more often than the non‐athletes (4.7% vs.…

L’échographie en réhabilitation, une émergence anglo-saxonne

2017

Resume L’echographie est un outil qui a vu le jour dans les annees 1950 en medecine, et depuis s’est considerablement developpe pour de nombreuses professions de sante dont les kinesitherapeutes. Son accessibilite, son absence d’effet secondaire et son faible cout en font un moyen d’evaluation indispensable pour les kinesitherapeutes explorant les alterations du mouvement et cherchant a ameliorer la pertinence du plan de traitement propose aux patients. De nombreux pays ont deja œuvre dans le sens de l’amelioration de la formation et de la pratique en echographie pour les kinesitherapeutes. L’integration du developpement de cet outil en France doit necessairement passer par des collaboratio…

Efectos de una técnica manual de tracción vertebral sobre el patrón de movimiento lumbo-pélvico y activación del erector espinal durante la flexo-ext…

2017

Resumen Objetivo Determinar el comportamiento del erector espinal y de los patrones de movimiento lumbo-pelvico durante el movimiento de flexo-extension del tronco, tras la aplicacion de una tecnica manual de descompresion lumbo-sacra, en pacientes con dolor lumbar. Material y metodos En el estudio participaron 10 sujetos con dolor lumbar inespecifico a los que se les realizaron registros electromiograficos de superficie de la actividad de la musculatura erectora espinal lumbar (L3 y L5, bilateral) y registros de la movilidad lumbo-pelvica durante la flexo-extension de tronco. Estos registros se realizaron antes y despues de la aplicacion de la tecnica. Resultados Tras comparar los resultad…

Effectiveness of Manual Therapy Combined With Physical Therapy in Treatment of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Systematic Review

2017

The purpose of this study was to conduct a review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the treatment effectiveness of the combination of manual therapy (MT) with other physical therapy techniques.Systematic searches of scientific literature were undertaken on PubMed and the Cochrane Library (2004-2014). The following terms were used: "patellofemoral pain syndrome," "physical therapy," "manual therapy," and "manipulation." RCTs that studied adults diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) treated by MT and physical therapy approaches were included. The quality of the studies was assessed by the Jadad Scale.Five RCTs with an acceptable methodological quality (Jadad ≥ 3…

Leisure-time physical activity and artery lumen diameters: A monozygotic co-twin control study

2010

Exercise is thought to increase the diameter of the conduit arteries supplying the muscles involved. We studied the effects of a physically active vs inactive lifestyle on artery diameters in monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant over 30 years for leisure-time physical activity habits. In a population-based co-twin control study design, six middle-aged (50-65 years) same-sex MZ twin pairs with long-term discordance for physical activity were comprehensively identified from the Finnish Twin Cohort (TWINACTIVE study). Discordance was initially defined in 1975 and the same co-twin remained significantly more active during the 32-year follow-up. The main outcomes were arterial lumen diameters …

Actividad física, barreras y beneficios en personas con ictus crónico: estudio transversal de encuesta

2019

Resumen Introduccion La actividad fisica (AF) es fundamental para la salud. Las secuelas producidas tras un ictus y otras barreras pueden interferir en la realizacion de ejercicio fisico (EF). Consecuentemente, podria variar la percepcion de sus beneficios. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el nivel de AF en funcion de la capacidad de deambulacion, y el grado de incapacidad que presentan los individuos con dichos caracteres, asi como las barreras y los beneficios en la practica de EF percibidos por estos. Material y metodos Se realizo un estudio transversal de encuesta en una muestra de personas con secuelas cronicas tras ictus. Se elaboro una encuesta que conto con un diario de ac…
