Etude electromyographique des muscles trapezius (partie moyenne) et rhomboideus major sousmis a tension isometrique

The participation of the trapezius (middle portion) and rhomboideus major muscles submitted to an isometric tension (holding downward dumbells of 11, 15 and 19 kg) was analysed in 40 young adult male vounteers. A 2 channel TECA TE4 electromyograph connected with single coaxial needle electrodes was used. In the initial phase of the test, holding downward, generally the trapezius and rhomboideus major muscles showed activity and no activity, respectively. In the cases where activity was present during the downward positions it was reduced gradually until complete rest.

Etude du nerf phrenique chez le cobaye (Cavia porcellus, L., 1756)

The aim of the present study to ascertain the mode of origin of the phrenic nerve and to provide a morphological basis for experimental studies of this nerve in the guinea pig. In sketches made of the dissections, in 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs adults, the modes of origin of the phrenic roots were demonstrated to arise from the fourth to the seventh cervical nerves. Four types of origin could be distinguished. The phrenic nerve of the guinea pig has three or four roots.

L'etude des signaux de 13C PAR microordinateur un programme simple et rapide

We present an unsophisticated and prompt software for the study of the spectroscopic properties of natural products. The main program searches substructures into the data set, selects the matching substructures and tests the selectivity of its chemical shifts for each skeleton. Some applications are presented. © 1990.

Amamantamiento y hábitos de succión no nutritivos: un estudio de cohorte

Background: Verifying the association with non-nutritives suction habits and practice of breastfeeding. Material and Methods: 87 pregnants were interviewed and were monthly home visits until 6 mounths old babies, the studied variables were: social-economic-culture conditions, breast feeding pratical and non-nutritives suction habits. Results: 94.7% for mothers started breastfeeding their babies in the first month, but only 49.7% exclusively children breastfeeding. The sixth month nobody mother non-exclusively breastfed ones and 50% were weaning. The habits and pacifier users were significant association with exclusively children breastfed (p=0.0065 and 0.0270 respectively) and children breastfed (both p<0.0001). Conclusions: The early weaning rate was high and low rate of exclusive breastfeeding, existing association between non-nutritives suction habits and pacifier users with breastfeeding.
