In a survey of household cats and dogs of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients, we found a high seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, ranging from 21% to 53%, depending on the positivity criteria chosen. Seropositivity was significantly greater among pets from COVID-19+ households compared to those with owners of unknown status. Our results highlight the potential role of pets in the spread of the epidemic.
The first COVID-19 lockdown reveals an ambivalent relation of French parents with food pleasure: the struggle to find a balance
2021
International audience; In France, a first COVID-19 lockdown took place from March-May 2020. Using an online survey including three open-ended questions, this study explored parents' experiences regarding changes in their family's eating behaviors during this lockdown. French parents (n = 498, 71% mothers) of young children were invited to describe which food-related changes they (1) perceived as positive during the lockdown, (2) perceived as negative, and (3) would like to maintain after the lockdown. A thematic analysis revealed that parents appreciated the choice of more local, fresh and high-quality foods, the time to prepare foods (homemade dishes, new recipes) and cooking and eating w…
Menstrual problems and lifestyle among Spanish university women
2020
Menstrual problems affect many young women worldwide, conditioning both their academic performance and quality of life. This study sought to analyse the prevalence of menstrual problems and their possible relationship with lifestyle among Spanish university women, as part of a research project (UniHcos Project) involving a cohort of 11 Spanish universities with 7208 university students. A descriptive analysis was performed using the bivariate chi-square test and the Student&rsquo
European ADPKD Forum multidisciplinary position statement on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease care
2018
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by the development and growth of cysts in the kidneys and other organs and by additional systemic manifestations. Individuals with ADPKD should have access to lifelong, multidisciplinary, specialist and patient-centred care involving: (i) a holistic and comprehensive assessment of the manifestations, complications, prognosis and impact of the disease (in physical, psychological and social terms) on the patient and their family; (ii) access to treatment to relieve symptoms, manage complications, preserve kidney function, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and maintain quality of life;…
Aktuelle Entwicklungen und Perspektiven in der Diagnostik und Therapie von Harninkontinenz und Genitalsenkung der Frau
2013
As a key area of gynaecology, urogynaecology has undergone impressive changes in the past few years. Together with the high prevalence of functional pelvic floor disorders, modern anaesthesia procedures and the introduction of new, innovative minimally invasive operation techniques have led to a dramatic increase in the number of operations for incontinence and prolapses. The increasingly subtle diagnostic options, such as, e. g., 2D and 3D sonography of the pelvic floor provide unambiguous findings and facilitate decision making. Tension-free vaginal slings in retro-pubic, trans-obturator or single-incision techniques show a high success rate with few complications and have almost complete…
Ecologia d'ostracodes simbionts (Entocytheridae) de carrancs invasors a Europa
2014
Els entocitèrids són una família d'ostracodes (Crustacea) ectosimbionts (bàsicament comensals) d'altres crustacis, majoritàriament decàpodes d'aigua dolça. Gran part de les espècies d'entocitèrids són originàries d'Amèrica del Nord i Central, i d'Oceania, associades a carrancs de riu americans i australians. No s'han descobert espècies d'entocitèrids en els carrancs de riu natius d'Europa. Les darreres dècades, els carrancs natius europeus s'han vist greument perjudicats per la invasió de carrancs exòtics, degut a fenòmens d'exclusió competitiva i transmissió de simbionts parasitaris. En la present tesi, hem avaluat la presència d'entocitèrids associats a carrancs de riu (natius i exòtics) …
Violence against parents: key factors analysis
2014
La Fiscalía General del Estado español, en su memoria de octubre de 2009, destacó que la violencia filio-parental era el tipo penal más preocupante en adolescentes menores de edad por su incremento en prevalencia e incidencia. Por ello, es importante conocer algunas características de las familias que la sufren y de las hijas e hijos maltratadores. Para lograr dichos objetivos hemos realizado una revisión bibliométrica de análisis cualitativo en base a documentos y libros desde 1957 hasta 2011, de países como Australia, Japón, Canadá, Nueva Zelanda, Francia, E.E.U.U. o España principalmente, desde la cual se pretende conocer (a) qué es la violencia filio-parental, (b) el ciclo de este tipo …
Les drogodependències, una visió actualitzada
2013
Public opinion is not worried about drug dependence and other addictive disorders anymore. The changes in consumption patterns and the lack of visible situations related to drugs consumption have removed this problem from the top of the media’s agenda; however, we are able to establish that this is not a settled problem from the past, but quite the opposite. Despite all the prevention campaigns launched so far, the drugs consumption phenomenon prevails as well as the increase of the number of admissions in detoxification clinics for drug addicts. Therefore, it would be necessary to make a review of the history of drug dependence in order to find the key of the causes thereof nowadays, putti…
'I love Rock 'n' Roll'--music genre preference modulates brain responses to music.
2013
The present study examined the effect of participants' music genre preference on the neural processes underlying evaluative and cognitive judgements of music using the event-related potential technique. To this aim, two participant groups differing in their preference for Latin American and Heavy Metal music performed a liking judgement and a genre classification task on a variety of excerpts of either music genre. A late positive potential (LPP) was elicited in all conditions between 600 and 900 ms after stimulus onset. During the genre classification task, an early negativity was elicited by the preferred compared to the non-preferred music at around 230-370 ms whereas the non-preferred g…
