Associations Between ADHD Symptomatology, Motivation for Physical Activity, and Technology Acceptability in Young Adult Women With Obesity.

Objective: This study examined the relationships between ADHD symptomatology, the motivations for physical activity (PA) according to self-determination theory, and the acceptability of three PA promotion technologies (active video game, mobile application, and telehealth) according to the dimensions of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology-2 (UTAUT2).

Method: A total of 312 women, aged 30.7 ± 7.

[Definitions and epidemiology of childhood obesity V. Nègre].

DEFINITIONS AND EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY. Childhood overweight and obesity are defined using the curves established by the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). A child is overweight when his BMI is above the IOTF 25 curve (corresponding to a Body Mass Index [BMI] of 25 at the age of 18).

Prevalence of overweight, obesity, and early adiposity rebound in nursery school children in southeastern France.

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and early adiposity rebound in nursery school children aged 3.5-4.5 years and to evaluate associations with deprivation.

Effects of technology-based physical activity interventions for women after bariatric surgery: study protocol for a three-arm randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: A recent meta-analysis provided proof of efficacy for mobile technology to increase physical activity or weight loss in the short term. Videoconferencing may also be effective, especially as it reduces the barriers related to face-to-face physical activity interventions. Both technologies seem particularly interesting for bariatric surgery management, but their long-term effects on physical activity maintenance are unknown.

Acceptability of technology-based physical activity intervention profiles and their motivational factors in obesity care: a latent profile transition analysis.

Objectives: This study aimed to: (a) identify the acceptability profiles for three technology-based physical activity interventions (TbPAI) in obesity treatment (active video games, mobile applications, telehealth), (b) examine the issues of consistency or change in these profiles for the same individual across technologies, and (c) determine whether acceptability profiles are related to motivational factors.

Methods: Three hundred and twelve women (M = 30.7, SD = 7.

Acute Pericarditis: Aetiologic Diagnosis and Practical Aspect of the Management.

Pericarditis is an uncommon pathology that represents 0.1% of patients hospitalized for chest pain with a wide etiological spectrum and whose cause is uncommonly highlighted. In order to determine the incidence of specific acute microbiological or autoimmune pericarditis and identify subsets of patients with a higher incidence of specific etiologies; and analyze the conformity of the management of acute pericarditis according to the recommendations, a retrospective inclusion of all patients admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to December 2018 with the diagnosis of acute pericarditis was conducted.

Comparison between type A and type B early adiposity rebound in predicting overweight and obesity in children: a longitudinal study.

Early adiposity rebound (EAR) predicts paediatric overweight/obesity, but current approaches do not consider both the starting point of EAR and the BMI trajectory. We compared the clinical characteristics at birth, age 3-5 and 6-8 years of children, according to the EAR and to its type (type A/type B-EAR). We assessed the children's odds of being classified as overweight/obese at age 6-8 years, according to the type of EAR as defined at age 3-5 years.

The transtheoretical model (TTM) to gain insight into young women's long-term physical activity after bariatric surgery: a qualitative study.

Background: Over the long term, people who have undergone bariatric surgery (BS) remain overly sedentary with inadequate physical activity (PA). The purpose of this study was to apply the transtheoretical model (TTM) to (1) explore in-depth how PA is experienced years after BS and (2) identify the barriers to and facilitators of PA involved at each stage of change (SOC).

Methods: Seventeen women with a mean age of 32.

Short-term and long-term positive outcomes of the multidisciplinary care implemented by the French health networks for the prevention and care of paediatric overweight and obesity.

Background: The nine French regional health networks for the prevention and care of paediatric obesity offer a 2-year program of multidisciplinary primary care (medical, dietetical, psychological, adapted physical activity) based on multicomponent lifestyle interventions.

Objectives: To assess the short-term and long-term impact of care management.

Methods: The impact of the multidisciplinary care was assessed by changes in the body mass index (BMI) Z score during the period of the care, and at least 2 years after the end.

Prenatal education of overweight or obese pregnant women to prevent childhood overweight (the ETOIG study): an open-label, randomized controlled trial.

Background: We aimed to evaluate whether pre and perinatal education of pregnant women would reduce childhood overweight.

Methods: Four French centers included women at ≤21 gestational weeks (GWs) with body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m before pregnancy. Patients were randomized to a control group (routine care including at least one dietary visit) or an intervention group (2 individuals (26 and 30 GW) and 4 group sessions (21, 28, 35 GW, 2 months postpartum)) aimed at educating the future mother regarding infant and maternal nutrition.

Dealing with multi-source and multi-scale information in plant phenomics: the ontology-driven Phenotyping Hybrid Information System.

Phenomic datasets need to be accessible to the scientific community. Their reanalysis requires tracing relevant information on thousands of plants, sensors and events. The open-source Phenotyping Hybrid Information System (PHIS) is proposed for plant phenotyping experiments in various categories of installations (field, glasshouse).

Cardiometabolic risk is associated with the severity of sleep-disordered breathing in children with obesity.

Background: The alarming progression of pediatric obesity is associated with the development of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), and both exhibit similar adverse cardiometabolic health outcomes. Physical activity level (PAL) may counteract sleep and metabolic disturbances. The present study investigates i) the association between the metabolic syndrome in childhood obesity and SDB, ii) the impact of SDB severity on cardiometabolic risk scores and PAL in children with obesity.

[Early assessment of overweight for preventing obesity].

The overweight child should be detected as soon as possible to avoid the occurrence of a more severe obesity, source of early complications. Thus, it is essential to carefully follow the BMI curve in all children with particular attention to the age of the early adiposity rebound (between 1 and 5 years). Early rebound indicates predisposition, and represents a risk factor for later obesity.

Validation of a new scale to measure perceived exertion in obese adolescents: the Childhood Obesity Perceived Exertion (Cope-10) Scale.

Background: The aim of this study was to validate a measurement scale for perceived exertion, named the Childhood Obesity Perceived Exertion Scale (COPE-10), by evaluating concurrent validity, reliability and sensitivity in obese adolescents.

Methods: Thirty obese adolescents (BMI 36.2±0.

Evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness using three field tests in obese adolescents: validity, sensitivity and prediction of peak VO2.

Objectives: Evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness in obese adolescents is necessary to develop personalised retraining programmes. We aimed to measure cardiorespiratory fitness using 3 field tests, and to evaluate their validity and sensitivity compared to values obtained by laboratory tests.

Design: Longitudinal interventional study in obese adolescents admitted to a rehabilitation centre for a 9-month programme of obesity management.

Ventilatory thresholds determined from HRV: comparison of 2 methods in obese adolescents.

The development of personalised training programmes is crucial in the management of obesity. We evaluated the ability of 2 heart rate variability analyses to determine ventilatory thresholds (VT) in obese adolescents. 20 adolescents (mean age 14.

Effects of an in-patient treatment program based on regular exercise and a balanced diet on high molecular weight adiponectin, resistin levels, and insulin resistance in adolescents with severe obesity.

Adiponectin, the most abundant hormone produced by adipose tissue, circulates in 3 isoforms, including high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin. The latter has been suggested to be a better predictor of metabolic disturbances and insulin resistance associated with obesity. This study investigated changes in total and HMW adiponectin, resistin, and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) during a 9-month in-patient treatment program based on physical exercise and a balanced diet in 32 severely obese adolescents.

PHENOPSIS DB: an information system for Arabidopsis thaliana phenotypic data in an environmental context.

Background: Renewed interest in plant×environment interactions has risen in the post-genomic era. In this context, high-throughput phenotyping platforms have been developed to create reproducible environmental scenarios in which the phenotypic responses of multiple genotypes can be analysed in a reproducible way. These platforms benefit hugely from the development of suitable databases for storage, sharing and analysis of the large amount of data collected.

A 'DNA replication' signature of progression and negative outcome in colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent cancers worldwide. As the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging classification does not allow to predict the survival of patients in many cases, additional prognostic factors are needed to better forecast their outcome. Genes involved in DNA replication may represent an underexplored source of such prognostic markers.

Genomic markers for ovarian cancer at chromosomes 1, 8 and 17 revealed by array CGH analysis.

Aims And Background: The literature data show that the most frequently affected chromosomes in ovarian carcinogenesis are 1, 8 and 17. In the present study we aimed to define more precisely at a high resolution the genomic imbalances of these chromosomes in ovarian cancer and to determine genomic markers separating tumors of different histological types and stages.

Methods: Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) with a resolution of approximately 0.

Identification of potential pharmacological targets by analysis of the comprehensive G protein-coupled receptor repertoire in the four cardiac chambers.

Cardiac function is regulated by many hormones and neurotransmitters that exert their physiological effects through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Identification of new GPCRs that might display a specific pattern of expression within the heart and differentially regulate specific cardiac functions represents an important issue for the development of new drugs. Indeed, highly targeted receptors represent only a small percentage of known GPCRs.

Lobular and ductal carcinomas of the breast have distinct genomic and expression profiles.

Invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) and invasive lobular carcinomas (ILCs) are the two major pathological types of breast cancer. Epidemiological and histoclinical data suggest biological differences, but little is known about the molecular alterations involved in ILCs. We undertook a comparative large-scale study by both array-compared genomic hybridization and cDNA microarray of a set of 50 breast tumors (21 classic ILCs and 29 IDCs) selected on homogeneous histoclinical criteria.
