CONTEXT: A passive knee-extension test has been shown to be a reliable method of assessing hamstring tightness, but this method does not take into account the potential effect of gravity on the tested leg. OBJECTIVE: To compare an original passive knee-extension test with 2 adapted methods including gravity's effect on the lower leg. DESIGN: Repeated measures. SETTING: Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: 20 young track and field athletes (16.6 ± 1.6 y, 177.6 ± 9.2 cm, 75.9 ± 24.8 kg). INTERVENTION: Each subject was tested in a randomized order with 3 different methods: In the original one (M1), passive knee angle was measured with a standard force of 68.7 N (7 kg) applied proximal to the lateral malleolus. The second (M2) and third (M3) methods took into account the relative lower-leg weight (measured respectively by handheld dynamometer and anthropometrical table) to individualize the force applied to assess passive knee angle. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Passive knee angles measured with video-analysis software. RESULTS: No difference in mean individualized applied force was found between M2 and M3, so the authors assessed passive knee angle only with M2. The mean knee angle was different between M1 and M2 (68.8 ± 12.4 vs 73.1 ± 10.6, P < .001). Knee angles in M1 and M2 were correlated (r = .93, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Differences in knee angle were found between the original passive knee-extension test and a method with gravity correction. M2 is an improved version of the original method (M1) since it minimizes the effect of gravity. Therefore, we recommend using it rather than M1.

Aims.We revisit the vicinity of the microquasar Cygnus X-3 at radio wavelengths. We aim to improve our previous search for possible associated extended radio features/hot spots in the position angle of the Cygnus X-3 relativistic jets focusing on shorter angular scales than previously explored. Methods.Our work is mostly based on analyzing modern survey and archive radio data, mainly including observations carried out with the Very Large Array and the Ryle Telescopes. We also used deep near-infrared images that we obtained in 2005. Results.We present new radio maps of the Cygnus X-3 field computed after combining multi-configuration Very Large Array archive data at 6 cm and different observing runs at 2 cm with the Ryle Telescope. These are probably among the deepest radio images of Cygnus X-3 reported to date at cm wavelengths. Both interferometers reveal an extended radio feature within a few arc-minutes of the microquasar position, thus making our detection more credible. Moreover, this extended emission is possibly non-thermal, although this point still needs confirmation. Its physical connection with the microquasar is tentatively considered under different physical scenarios. We also report on the serendipitous discovery of a likely Fanaroff-Riley type II radio galaxy only away from Cygnus X-3.

Rapport de synthèse « Faible prévalence de la fibrillation auriculaire chez des adultes asymptomatiques à Genève, Suisse » But : l'augmentation de la prévalence de la fibrillation auriculaire (FA) est dans les pays développés un problème de santé publique. L'ampleur de cette augmentation demeure cependant peu claire. L'objectif de ce travail est de déterminer la prévalence de la FA au sein d'un échantillon représentatif d'adultes asymptomatiques de plus de 50 ans. Méthode : entre janvier 2005 et décembre 2007, des individus résidants du canton de Genève et ayant déjà participé précédemment à une étude randomisée ont été invités pour un examen de contrôle. Le diagnostic de FA a été posé à l'aide d'un tracé électrocardiographique 6 pistes. Tous les tracés ont étés revus par un cardiologue. Les prévalences de FA ont ensuite été standardisées pour la distribution d'âge dans la population genevoise. Une prise de sang veineuse a été réalisée chez tous les participants après 8 heures de jeûne et la glycémie, la triglyceridémie, le cholestérol sérique total ainsi que le cholestérol HDL sérique ont été déterminés. Résultats : la participation a été de 72.8%. 29 cas de FA (22 hommes) ont été diagnostiqués parmi 3285 sujets (1696 hommes). La prévalence de la FA (95% Cl) était de 0.88% (0.86, 0.90). La prévalence standardisée pour l'âge était légèrement plus élevée [0.94% (0.91, 0.97), hommes: 1.23% (1.19, 1.27), femmes; 0.54% (0.47, 0.61)]. Les sujets avec une FA étaient plus âgés (72.1 vs. 63.1 ans, ρ < 0.0001), plus souvent de sexe masculin (75.9% vs. 50.4%, ρ = 0.0087), avaient un indice de masse corporelle plus élevé (27.9 vs. 25,9 kg/m2, ρ = 0.011), un périmètre abdominal plus important (98.8 vs. 90.2 cm, ρ = 0.0034), une tension artérielle diastolique plus élevée (80.9 vs. 75.7mmhg, ρ = 0.0093), un cholestérol sérique total plus bas (5.16 vs. 5.75mmol/L, ρ = 0.0019) et un HDL cholestérol sérique plus bas (1.31 vs. 1.48 mmol/L, ρ = 0.02). A l'anamnèse un antécédent « d'embolie artérielle » (cérébrale ou membres inférieurs) était significativement plus fréquent chez les sujets avec une FA (10.3 vs. 3.3%, ρ = 0.03). Conclusion : cette étude basée sur une population suisse asymptomatique montre une prévalence de la FA inférieure à 1%. Ces résultats sont moins alarmants que ceux obtenus lors de précédentes études.

Average physical stature has increased dramatically during the 20th century in many populations across the world with few exceptions. It remains unclear if social inequalities in height persist despite improvements in living standards in the welfare economies of Western Europe. We examined trends in the association between height and socioeconomic indicators in adults over three decades in France. The data were drawn from the French Decennial Health Surveys: a multistage, stratified, random survey of households, representative of the population, conducted in 1970, 1980, 1991, and 2003. We categorised age into 10-year bands, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54 and 55-64 years. Education and income were the two socioeconomic measures used. The slope index of inequality (SII) was used as a summary index of absolute social inequalities in height. The results show that average height increased over this period; men and women aged 25-34 years were 171.9 and 161.2 cm tall in 1970 and 177.0 and 164.0 cm in 2003, respectively. However, education-related inequalities in height remained unchanged over this period and in men were 4.48 cm (1970), 4.71 cm (1980), 5.58 cm (1991) and 4.69 cm (2003), the corresponding figures in women were 2.41, 2.37, 3.14 and 2.96 cm. Income-related inequalities in height were smaller and much attenuated after adjustment for education. These results suggest that in France, social inequalities in adult height in absolute terms have remained unchanged across the three decades under examination.

Atributos físicos de solo foram avaliados num Latossolo Vermelho distrófico típico, em Passo Fundo, RS, dez anos após o estabelecimento (1993 a 2003) de cinco sistemas de produção integrando culturas produtoras de grãos, pastagens de inverno e forrageiras perenes: I) trigo/soja, aveia-branca/soja e ervilhaca/milho; II) trigo/soja, aveia-branca/soja e forrageiras anuais - aveia-preta + ervilhaca/milho; III) forrageiras perenes da estação fria - festuca + trevo-branco + trevo-vermelho + cornichão; IV) forrageiras perenes da estação quente - pensacola + aveia-preta + azevém + trevo-branco + trevo-vermelho + cornichão; e V) alfafa para feno, acrescentada em 1994, como tratamento adicional, com repetições em áreas contíguas ao experimento. Metade das áreas sob os sistemas III, IV e V retornou ao sistema I a partir do verão de 1996. As culturas, tanto de inverno como de verão, foram estabelecidas sob plantio direto. Os tratamentos foram distribuídos em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições. Amostras de solo também foram coletadas em fragmento de floresta subtropical ao lado do experimento. O aumento da densidade do solo e da microporosidade, e a redução da porosidade total e da macroporosidade, devido aos distintos sistemas de produção de grãos com pastagens, não atingiram níveis capazes de promover degradação do solo. Os sistemas com pastagens perenes apresentaram menor densidade do solo e maior porosidade total e macroporosidade na camada 0-2 cm, em relação aos sistemas de produção de grãos ou produção de grãos com pastagens anuais.

Bacterial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), ubiquitous contaminants from oil and coal, is typically limited by poor accessibility of the contaminant to the bacteria. In order to measure PAH availability in complex systems, we designed a number of diffusion-based assays with a double-tagged bacterial reporter strain Burkholderia sartisoli RP037-mChe. The reporter strain is capable of mineralizing phenanthrene (PHE) and induces the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) as a function of the PAH flux to the cell. At the same time, it produces a second autofluorescent protein (mCherry) in constitutive manner. Quantitative epifluorescence imaging was deployed in order to record reporter signals as a function of PAH availability. The reporter strain expressed eGFP proportionally to dosages of naphthalene or PHE in batch liquid cultures. To detect PAH diffusion from solid materials the reporter cells were embedded in 2 cm-sized agarose gel patches, and fluorescence was recorded over time for both markers as a function of distance to the PAH source. eGFP fluorescence gradients measured on known amounts of naphthalene or PHE served as calibration for quantifying PAH availability from contaminated soils. To detect reporter gene expression at even smaller diffusion distances, we mixed and immobilized cells with contaminated soils in an agarose gel. eGFP fluorescence measurements confirmed gel patch diffusion results that exposure to 2-3 mg lampblack soil gave four times higher expression than to material contaminated with 10 or 1 (mg PHE) g(-1).
