L'expérience sociale de la conversion au bodybuilding

Cette thèse propose d'étudier les carrières des adeptes des salles de musculation afin de comprendre comment certains d'entre eux organisent progressivement leur existence autour du bodybuilding. Nos observations issues d'une ethnographie d'une salle de musculation et de trente entretiens semi-directifs menés avec différents profils d'adeptes en Suisse romande, suggèrent que l'emprise du bodybuilding sur les individus résulte de phénomènes assimilables à des conversions. Deux voies de conversion, « consonante » et « introspective », ont été identifiées. Elles correspondent à des usages distincts de la musculation qui n'ont pas les mêmes conséquences sur les parcours de vie des pratiquant(e)s. Si les conversions consonantes stabilisent les parcours de vie en renforçant un statut professionnel, les conversions introspectives les infléchissent significativement. En outre, cette perspective de recherche offre un nouvel éclairage sur le façonnement des représentations et des pratiques de santé, les processus de normalisation des pharmacopraxis et les rapports sociaux de sexe en présence. -- This thesis aims to study gym-goers' careers in order to understand how some of them progressively organise their lives around bodybuilding. Our observations, drawn from an ethnography of a gym and thirty semi-structured interviews with different profiles of gym enthusiasts in French-speaking Switzerland, suggest that the grip that bodybuilding takes on individuals results from phenomena akin to conversions. Two paths to conversion - consonant and introspective - are identified. They correspond to distinct uses of bodybuilding, which do not have the same consequences in the practitioners' life courses. While consonant conversions stabilise life courses by reinforcing an occupational status, introspective conversions inflect them significantly. Furthermore, this research perspective provides new insights into the shaping of health norms (representations and practices), the process of normalisation of pharmacopraxia and the gender relations identified.

Influence of distal ileum exclusion on hepatic and renal functions in presence of extrahepatic cholestasis

OBJECTIVE: To verify whether the ileal exclusion interferes with liver and kidney functional changes secondary to extrahepatic cholestasis.METHODS: We studied 24 rats, divided into three groups with eight individuals each: Group 1 (control), Group 2 (ligation of the hepatic duct combined with internal biliary drainage), and Group 3 (bile duct ligation combined with internal biliary drainage and exclusion of the terminal ileum). Animals in Group 1 (control) underwent sham laparotomy. The animals of groups 2 and 3 underwent ligation and section of the hepatic duct and were kept in cholestasis for four weeks. Next, they underwent an internal biliary bypass. In Group 3, besides the biliary-enteric bypass, we associated the exclusion of the last ten centimeters of the terminal ileum and carried out an ileocolic anastomosis. After four weeks of monitoring, blood was collected from all animals of the three groups for liver and kidney biochemical evaluation (albumin, ALT, AST, direct and indirect bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, cGT, creatinine and urea).RESULTS: there were increased values of ALT, AST, direct bilirubin, cGT, creatinine and urea in rats from Group 3 (p < 0.05).CONCLUSION: ileal exclusion worsened liver and kidney functions in the murine model of extrahepatic cholestasis, being disadvantageous as therapeutic procedure for cholestatic disorders.

Is there a role for pyloric exclusion after severe duodenal trauma?

Duodenal trauma is an infrequent injury, but linked to high morbidity and mortality. Surgical management of duodenal injuries is dictated by: patient's hemodynamic status, injury severity, time of diagnosis, and presence of concomitant injuries. Even though most cases can be treated with primary repair, some experts advocate adjuvant procedures. Pyloric exclusion (PE) has emerged as an ancillary method to protect suture repair in more complex injuries. However, the effectiveness of this procedure is debatable. The "Evidence Based Telemedicine - Trauma & Acute Care Surgery" (EBT-TACS) Journal Club performed a critical appraisal of the literature and selected three relevant publications on the indications for PE in duodenal trauma. The first study retrospectively compared 14 cases of duodenal injuries greater than grade II treated by PE, with 15 cases repaired primarily, all of which penetrating. Results showed that PE did not improve outcome. The second study, also retrospective, compared primary repair (34 cases) with PE (16 cases) in blunt and penetrating grade > II duodenal injuries. The authors concluded that PE was not necessary in all cases. The third was a literature review on the management of challenging duodenal traumas. The author of that study concluded that PE is indicated for anastomotic leak management after gastrojejunostomies. In conclusion, the choice of the surgical procedure to treat duodenal injuries should be individualized. Moreover, there is insufficient high quality scientific evidence to support the abandonment of PE in severe duodenal injuries with extensive tissue loss.
