Os efeitos da cross-education na recuperação da força do quadríceps, senso de posição articular do joelho, e funcionalidade após a reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior: revisão bibliográfica

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em FisioterapiaIntrodução: a Cross-education (CE) ou treino unilateral do membro não afetado é uma estratégia terapêutica comummente utilizada no ganho de força no membro contralateral. No entanto, os efeitos da CE em pacientes com reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) são ainda pouco conhecidos. Objetivo: verificar os efeitos da Cross-education na recuperação da força do quadríceps, senso de posição articular do joelho, e funcionalidade após a reconstrução do LCA. Metodologia: foi realizada uma pesquisa computorizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science e PEDro, no sentido de identificar estudos randomizados controlados que avaliassem os efeitos da CE após ligamentoplastia do LCA. A qualidade metodológica foi analisada através da escala de PEDro. Resultados: foram incluídos 6 estudos com uma classificação média de 6.17/10 na classificação de PEDro, num total de 262 participantes de ambos os géneros, dos 15 aos 60 anos de idade. A CE não se mostra efetiva no aumento da funcionalidade, e os resultados não são consensuais no ganho de força do quadríceps. Porém, existe uma melhoria da perceção do senso de posição articular do joelho em amplitudes extremas. Conclusão: não é possível verificar, de forma consistente, uma melhoria significativa de todos os parâmetros avaliados após a implementação da CE. Mais estudos serão necessários para validar a CE como adjuvante de um protocolo de reeducação.Introduction: Cross-education (CE) or unilateral training of the unaffected limb is a commonly used therapeutic strategy for gaining strength in the contralateral limb. However, in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, the effect of EC is unknown. Objective: to verify the effects of Cross-education on quadriceps strength recovery, knee joint position sense, and functionality after ACL reconstruction. Methodology: a computerized search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and PEDro databases, in order to identify randomized controlled studies that evaluated the effects of Cross-education after ACL ligamentoplasty. Methodological quality was analyzed using the PEDro scale. Results: 6 studies were included with an average PEDro score of 6.17/10, with a total of 262 participants of both genders, from 15 to 60 years of age. CE is not effective in increasing functionality, and the results are not consensual in the gain of quadríceps strength. However, there is an improvement in the perception of the sense of joint position of the knee in extreme amplitudes. Conclusion: it is not possible to consistently verify a significant improvement of all parameters assessed after the implementation of EC. Further studies will be necessary to validate EC as an adjuvant to a re-education protocol.N/

Contacts de langues dans les SMS 'sourds'

International audienceLa communication électronique est un domaine privilégié de prospective linguistique car elle offre un lieu de création, de variation, de jeu sur la langue et sur la graphie. Par ailleurs elle permet d'explorer le rapport entre oral et écrit dans la mesure où, comme l'oral a priori, l'écrit électronique est un usage de proximité et, comme l'écrit en général, c'est un outil de communication à distance. En contexte plurilingue, la communication électronique offre également un panel de formes en contact. Nous explorons ici plus avant le potentiel de ce type d'écrit et regardons ce qu'en font des scripteurs qui évoluent dans un plurilinguisme multimodal : les scripteurs sourds

Dynamiques temporelles de la pandémie de grippe A/H1N1 dans la presse écrite francophone

National audienceLe projet cherche à étudier les représentations et les politiques sanitaires associées aux épidémies contemporaines dans une perspective d'interprétation croisée : sociale, psychologique, spatiale et historique. Ainsi, il propose de développer une approche pluridisciplinaire en combinant des méthodes et des orientations épistémologiques complémentaires à partir de l'épisode de grippe A (H1N1) de 2009-2010. Cet épisode de crise constitue une entrée particulièrement intéressante pour étudier le risque épidémique dans la mesure où il est associé à la mise en place de politiques sanitaires particulières et fait circuler des représentations spécifiques de la maladie. Il permet en outre d'interroger les différentes échelles d'action impliquées dans la construction sociale et spatiale des deux épidémies. Son analyse peut par ailleurs permettre une dimension comparative en cherchant à appréhender les pratiques des différents acteurs et les modèles de prévention et de lutte qu'elles ont pu diffuser

Politiques et représentations des épidémies. Analyse comparée de la construction d’un problème de santé global: La pandémie de grippe A/ H1N1 et les campagnes de vaccination à travers les presses écrites francophones et anglophones

Politiques et représentations des épidémies. Analyse comparée de la construction d’un problème de santé globalA partir d'un corpus en langue française généré via l'agrégateur de presse Factiva, nous développons deux types d'analyse textuelle à l'aide des logiciels Alceste et Tropes. L'objectif de ce rapport est d'étudier la dynamique temporelle du discours de la presse sur la pandémie de grippe A/H1N1 et la campagne de vaccination associée (2009‐2010). Interroger la temporalité du discours nous donne la possibilité de mieux appréhender la cohérence temporelle des espaces de débat associé à la crise de la grippe A/H1N1. Cette perspective nécessite de mieux appréhender les dimensions globales et locales de la description du discours.A partir d'un corpus en langue française généré via l'agrégateur de presse Factiva, nous développons deux types d'analyse textuelle à l'aide des logiciels Alceste et Tropes.

Comparaison de deux approches du décodage conjoint source-canal

- Deux approches du Décodage Conjoint Source-Canal (DCSC) pour des Codes à Longueurs Variables (CLV) sont décrites. L'une utilise un a priori sur la source dans le décodage canal, l'autre itère les opérations de décodage de canal et de source. Les techniques sont comparées dans des conditions de simulations identiques et tiennent compte du critère de complexité. A fort Taux d'Erreur Symbole (TES), les performances de la seconde méthode, itérative, sont supérieures à celles de la première. A faible TES les résultats sont inversés

Drosophila Bitter Taste(s)

International audienceMost animals possess taste receptors neurons detecting potentially noxious compounds. In humans, the ligands which activate these neurons define a sensory space called ``bitter''. By extension, this term has been used in animals and insects to define molecules which induce aversive responses. In this review, based on our observations carried out in Drosophila, we examine how bitter compounds are detected and if bitter sensitive neurons respond only to molecules bitter to humans. Like most animals, flies detect bitter chemicals through a specific population of taste neurons, distinct from those responding to sugars or to other modalities. Activating bitter-sensitive taste neurons induces aversive reactions and inhibits feeding. Bitter molecules also contribute to the suppression of sugar-neuron responses and can lead to a complete inhibition of the responses to sugar at the periphery. Since some bitter molecules activate bitter-sensitive neurons and some inhibit sugar detection, bitter molecules are represented by two sensory spaces which are only partially congruent. In addition to molecules which impact feeding, we recently discovered that the activation of bitter-sensitive neurons also induces grooming. Bitter-sensitive neurons of the wings and of the legs can sense chemicals from the gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, thus adding another biological function to these receptors. Bitter sensitive neurons of the proboscis also respond to the inhibitory pheromone, 7-tricosene. Activating these neurons by bitter molecules in the context of sexual encounter inhibits courting and sexual reproduction, while activating these neurons with 7-tricosene in a feeding context will inhibit feeding. The picture that emerges from these observations is that the taste system is composed of detectors which monitor different ``categories'' of ligands, which facilitate or inhibit behaviors depending on the context (feeding, sexual reproduction, hygienic behavior), thus considerably extending the initial definition of ``bitter'' tasting
