Associations between weight loss attempts, weight-related stress and body image during childhood and adolescence in children with parental obesity
Weight loss attempts and body image in children
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2024-09-06)Background: Few longitudinal studies have investigated the role of weight-loss attempts or weight-related stress on body image during childhood. We examined whether weight-loss attempts and weight-related stress are associated with weight misperception ... -
The association between depressive symptoms and overweight or obesity in prepubertal children: findings from the QUALITY cohort
Depressive symptoms and weight status in childhood
(Elsevier, 2024-08-24)Background: Youth obesity and depression are public health concerns. Although metaanalyses suggest a positive association between those conditions in adults and adolescents, evidence remains unclear in prepubertal children. We examined the bidirectional ... -
Adiposity and cardiac autonomic function in children with a family history of obesity
(Springer, 2024-09-21)Purpose Data on associations between adiposity and heart rate variability (HRV) in pre-pubertal children are limited. We examined the associations between adiposity indices and HRV, independent of lifestyle behaviors, comparing multiple indicators ... -
Work disability and musculoskeletal disorders among teleworkers : a scoping review
(Springer, 2024-03-28)Purpose This project aimed to examine the existing evidence on work disability or musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among teleworkers. Method A scoping review was conducted in eight bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, ... -
Vascular injury derived apoptotic exosome-like vesicles trigger autoimmunity
(Elsevier, 2024-08-11)According to a central tenet of classical immune theory, a healthy immune system must avoid self-reactive lymphocyte clones but we now know that B cells repertoire exhibit some level of autoreactivity. These autoreactive B cells are thought to rely on ... -
In silico human cardiomyocyte action potential modeling : exploring ion channel input combinations
(SAGE, 2024-03-13)In silico modeling offers an opportunity to supplement and accelerate cardiac safety testing. With in silico modeling, computational simulation methods are used to predict electrophysiological interactions and pharmacological effects of novel drugs on ... -
Fast computation of multivariate synchrony index in sliding windows: application to cardiac neurons
(2014-09)Multielectrode array neuronal recordings in atrial ganglionated plexi are characterized by low firing rates, marked non-stationarity, interplay with the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems and artifacts generated by myocardial activity, which creates ... -
Pelvic floor muscle training versus no treatment, or inactive control treatments, for urinary incontinence in women
(Wiley, 2018-10-04)Background Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the most commonly used physical therapy treatment for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). It is sometimes also recommended for mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) and, less commonly, urgency ... -
Group-based pelvic floor telerehabilitation to treat urinary incontinence in older women : a feasibility study
(MDPI, 2023)Less than half of women with urinary incontinence (UI) receive treatment, despite the high prevalence and negative impact of UI and the evidence supporting the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). A non-inferiority randomized controlled ... -
Portable dynamometer-based measurement of pelvic floor muscle force
(Institute of electrical and electronics engineers, 2022-11-18)Objective: In attempts to improve the quality of life of women, continuous projects are sought between rehabilitation intervention and engineering. Using the knowledge of the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) physiology, assessment and training methods are ...
