RESUMEDurant la phase de récupération d'un exercice de course à pied d'intensité maximale ou submaximale, une augmentation de la pression artérielle systolique centrale (aortique) résultant de la réflexion des ondes de pouls sur l'arbre vasculaire est constatée chez l'individu en bonne santé. En diastole cependant, l'impact de la réflexion de ces ondes de pouls sur la pression centrale demeure inconnu durant la récupération d'un exercice.Nous avons évalué les ondes de pouls centrales systolique et diastolique chez onze athlètes d'endurance durant la phase de récupération d'un exercice de course à pied dans des conditions d'effort maximal (sur tapis de course) et lors d'un effort submaximal lors d'une course à pied de 4000 mètres en plein air sur terrain mixte.Pour chaque sujet et lors des deux exercices, l'onde de pouls a été mesurée au niveau radial par tonométrie d'aplanation durant une phase de repos précédant l'exercice, puis à 5, 15, 25, 35 et 45 minutes après la fin de l'exercice. En utilisant une fonction mathématique de transfert, l'onde de pouls centrale a été extrapolée à partir de l'onde de pouls radiale. En compilant la forme de l'onde de pouls centrale avec une mesure simultanée de la pression artérielle brachiale, un index d'augmentation de l'onde de pouls en systole (Alx) et en diastole (Als) peut être calculé, reflétant l'augmentation des pressions résultant de la réflexion des ondes sur l'arbre vasculaire périphérique.A 5 minutes de la fin de l'exercice, les deux index ont été mesurés moindres que ceux mesurés lors de la phase précédant celui-ci. Lors des mesures suivantes, Alx est resté bas, alors que Aid a progressivement augmenté pour finalement dépasser la valeur de repos après 45 minutes de récupération. Le même phénomène a été constaté pour les deux modalités d'exercice (maximal ou submaximal). Ainsi, au-delà de quelques minutes de récupération après un exercice de course d'intensité maximale ou submaximale, nous avons montré par ces investigations que les ondes de pouls réfléchies en périphérie augmentent de façon sélective la pression centrale en diastole chez l'athlète d'endurance.ABSTRACTDuring recovery from a maximal or submaximal aerobic exercise, augmentation of central (aortic) systolic pressure by reflected pressure waves is blunted in healthy humans. However, the extent to which reflected pressure waves modify the central pulse in diastole in these conditions remains unknown. We evaluated systolic and diastolic central reflected waves in 11 endurance-trained athletes on recovery from a maximal running test on a treadmill (treadmill-max) and a 4000m run in field conditions. On both occasions in each subject, the radial pulse was recorded with applanation tonometry in the resting preexercise state and then 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45 minutes after exercise termination. From the central waveform, as reconstructed by application of a generalized transfer function, we computed a systolic (Alx) and a diastolic index (Aid) of pressure augmentation by reflections. At 5 minutes, both indices were below preexercise. At further time-points, Alx remained low, while Aid progressively increased, to overshoot above preexercise at 45 minutes. The same behavior was observed with both exercise types. Beyond the first few minutes of recovery following either maximal or submaximal aerobic exercise, reflected waves selectively augment the central pressure pulse in diastole, at least in endurance- trained athletes.

BACKGROUND:: Although cell therapy is a promising approach after cerebral cortex lesion, few studies assess quantitatively its behavioral gain in non-human primates. Furthermore, implantations of fetal grafts of exogenous stem cells are limited by safety and ethical issues. OBJECTIVE:: To test in non-human primates the transplantation of autologous adult neural progenitor cortical cells with assessment of functional outcome. METHODS:: Seven adult macaque monkeys were trained to perform a manual dexterity task, before the hand representation in motor cortex was chemically lesioned unilaterally. Five monkeys were used as control, compared to two monkeys subjected to different autologous cells transplantation protocols performed at different time intervals. RESULTS:: After lesion, there was a complete loss of manual dexterity in the contralesional hand. The five "control" monkeys recovered progressively and spontaneously part of their manual dexterity, reaching a unique and definitive plateau of recovery, ranging from 38% to 98% of pre-lesion score after 10 to 120 days. The two "treated" monkeys reached a first spontaneous recovery plateau at about 25 and 40 days post-lesion, representing 35% and 61% of the pre-lesion performance, respectively. In contrast to the controls, a second recovery plateau took place 2-3 months after cell transplantation, corresponding to an additional enhancement of functional recovery, representing 24 and 37% improvement, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:: These pilot data, derived from two monkeys treated differently, suggest that, in the present experimental conditions, autologous adult brain progenitor cell transplantation in non-human primate is safe and promotes enhancement of functional recovery.

La « surexploitation » des eaux souterraines est devenue au début des années 2000 une thématique majeure des programmes de développement des régions semi arides et arides de Syrie. Les fondements scientifiques du discours de surexploitation posent cependant question à plus d'un titre. Mobilisant une notion mal définie, le diagnostic de surexploitation réinterprète d'anciennes données soviétiques qui n'ont pas été actualisées. D'autre part, appliqué globalement à des espaces très hétérogènes, il n'apporte aucun élément d'évaluation et de régulation des pratiques d'exploitation. Les mesures de conservation des eaux souterraines qu'il justifie offrent alors un paradoxe. Présentées comme des mesures de restriction de l'exploitation des eaux souterraines, leur application dans les régions semi-arides a conduit à pénaliser les agriculteurs qui font l'usage le plus efficace de la ressource hydrique sans pour autant réduire la consommation en eau.

The goal of this interdisciplinary study is to better understand the land use factors that increase vulnerability of mountain areas in northern Pakistan. The study will identify and analyse the damages and losses caused by the October 2005 earthquake in two areas of the same valley: one "low-risk" watershed with sound natural resources management, the other, "high-risk" in an ecologically degraded watershed. Secondly, the study will examine natural and man-made causes of secondary hazards in the study area, especially landslides; and third it will evaluate the cost of the earthquake damage in the study areas on the livelihoods of local communities and the sub-regional economy. There are few interdisciplinary studies to have correlated community land use practices, resources management, and disaster risk reduction in high-risk mountain areas. By better understanding these linkages, development- humanitarian- and donor agencies focused on disaster reduction can improve their risk reduction programs for mountainous regions.

This study assesses the decline in second birth rates for men and women across different skill levels in transitional Russia. Changes within educational groups and occupational classes are observed over three distinct time periods: the Soviet era, economic crisis, and economic recovery. The most remarkable finding is the similarity in the extent second birth rates declined within educational groups and occupational classes during the economic crisis. Although further decline occurred in the recovery period, more variation emerged across groups.

In rodents and nonhuman primates subjected to spinal cord lesion, neutralizing the neurite growth inhibitor Nogo-A has been shown to promote regenerative axonal sprouting and functional recovery. The goal of the present report was to re-examine the data on the recovery of the primate manual dexterity using refined behavioral analyses and further statistical assessments, representing secondary outcome measures from the same manual dexterity test. Thirteen adult monkeys were studied; seven received an anti-Nogo-A antibody whereas a control antibody was infused into the other monkeys. Monkeys were trained to perform the modified Brinkman board task requiring opposition of index finger and thumb to grasp food pellets placed in vertically and horizontally oriented slots. Two parameters were quantified before and following spinal cord injury: (i) the standard 'score' as defined by the number of pellets retrieved within 30 s from the two types of slots; (ii) the newly introduced 'contact time' as defined by the duration of digit contact with the food pellet before successful retrieval. After lesion the hand was severely impaired in all monkeys; this was followed by progressive functional recovery. Remarkably, anti-Nogo-A antibody-treated monkeys recovered faster and significantly better than control antibody-treated monkeys, considering both the score for vertical and horizontal slots (Mann-Whitney test: P = 0.05 and 0.035, respectively) and the contact time (P = 0.008 and 0.005, respectively). Detailed analysis of the lesions excluded the possibility that this conclusion may have been caused by differences in lesion properties between the two groups of monkeys.

The Iowa livestock industry generates large quantities of manure and other organic residues; composed of feces, urine, bedding material, waste feed, dilution water, and mortalities. Often viewed as a waste material, little has been done to characterize and determine the usefulness of this resource. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources initiated the process to assess in detail the manure resource and the potential utilization of this resource through anaerobic digestion coupled with energy recovery. Many of the pieces required to assess the manure resource already exist, albeit in disparate forms and locations. This study began by interpreting and integrating existing Federal, State, ISU studies, and other sources of livestock numbers, housing, and management information. With these data, models were analyzed to determine energy production and economic feasibility of energy recovery using anaerobic digestion facilities on livestock faxms. Having these data individual facilities and clusters that appear economically feasible can be identified specifically through the use of a GIs system for further investigation. Also livestock facilities and clusters of facilities with high methane recovery potential can be the focus of targeted educational programs through Cooperative Extension network and other outreach networks, providing a more intensive counterpoint to broadly based educational efforts.

The transition between hospital and community is an interface at high risk for medication. "The Association of Family Doctors" committee in the canton of Vaud (MFVaud), together with community pharmacists' and Homecare representatives, have begun to consider the following improvements: fast and co-ordinated care providers' information; arrangements for family doctors appointments as soon as possible; awareness and education for interprofessional collaboration; more secured preparation of pill boxes; development of interprofessional means such as medication use reviews and reconciliations. In the opinion of all the experts, there is an urgent public health need to act in an interprofessional manner, even if the solutions required (especially change in professional culture and technologies) are not immediate.

BACKGROUND: This review aims to present a consensus for optimal perioperative care in colonic surgery and to provide graded recommendations for items for an evidenced-based enhanced perioperative protocol. METHODS: Studies were selected with particular attention paid to meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials and large prospective cohorts. For each item of the perioperative treatment pathway, available English-language literature was examined, reviewed and graded. A consensus recommendation was reached after critical appraisal of the literature by the group. RESULTS: For most of the protocol items, recommendations are based on good-quality trials or meta-analyses of good-quality trials (quality of evidence and recommendations according to the GRADE system). CONCLUSIONS: Based on the evidence available for each item of the multimodal perioperative care pathway, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society, International Association for Surgical Metabolism and Nutrition (IASMEN) and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) present a comprehensive evidence-based consensus review of perioperative care for colonic surgery.
