Comparing the effects of 30 minutes exergaming versus brisk walking on physiological and psychological measurements of older adults.

Background: Active video games can make physical activity more appealing and enjoyable for older people. This study compared the effects of 30 min of Exergaming versus walking on the physiological and psychological measures of asymptomatic older adults.

Methods: Forty eligible participants (mean age = 69.

What Predicts the Physical Activity Intention-Behavior Gap? A Systematic Review.

Background: Intention is theorized as the proximal determinant of behavior in many leading theories and yet intention-behavior discordance is prevalent.

Purpose: To theme and appraise the variables that have been evaluated as potential moderators of the intention-physical activity (I-PA) relationship using the capability-opportunity-motivation- behavior model as an organizational frame.

Methods: Literature searches were concluded in August 2020 using seven common databases.

The negative association between inflammatory bowel disease and Helicobacter pylori seropositivity.

Background: The role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in inflammatory bowel disease is a controversial argument. The initial theory of this study was that Helicobacter is a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease.

Understanding the Effects of Genotype, Growing Year, and Breeding on Tunisian Durum Wheat Allergenicity. 1. The Baker's Asthma Case.

Baker's asthma is a serious airway disease triggered by wheat protein CM3 α-amylase/trypsin inhibitor. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of genotype and crop year on allergen CM3 α-amylase/trypsin inhibitor associated with baker's asthma. A historical series of Tunisian durum wheat (100 accessions), derived from three crop years, was used to compare the amount of CM3 from landraces to advanced cultivars.

Understanding the Effects of Genotype, Growing Year, and Breeding on Tunisian Durum Wheat Allergenicity. 2. The Celiac Disease Case.

The aim of this study was to compare immunogenic and toxic gluten peptides related to celiac disease (CD). 100 accessions of genotypes selected during the 20th century in Tunisia were in vitro digested and then analyzed by UPLC/ESI-MS technique using an isotopically labeled internal standard. The first MANOVA confirmed a high variability in the content of immunogenic and toxic peptides reflecting high genetic diversity in the germplasm released during the past century in Tunisia, consistently with PCA and clustering analysis results.

Genotypic differences in root and shoot growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grown under different salinity levels.

In water-limited areas of Tunisia, more than 30% of subsurface water used for irrigation is saline water, leading to a long-term salinization and degradation processes. To prevent the problems and to minimize the negative impact of using saline water, selection of proper germplasm as well as integrated soil and water management are essential. Understanding the diversity for salt tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.

[Clinical results following cyclo-cryocoagulation with a nitrogen cooled probe].

A new cryoprobe for cyclocryocoagulation was investigated in a clinical trial. A group of 15 patients was treated with one step coagulation at 120 degrees C; a control group of 15 patients was treated with a CO2-cooled cryoprobe using circular coagulation in the usual manner. Statistical evaluation showed a significant drop in IOP in both groups after cryocoagulation.

Clinical picture and problems of keratoplasty in Richner-Hanhart syndrome (tyrosinemia type II).

The Richner-Hanhart syndrome seen in a middle-aged woman is described. The patient had the typical clinical manifestations of tyrosinemia II with a bilateral keratopathy, palmar and plantar hyperkeratosis. The patient was subjected to a specific diet and to perforating keratoplasty.

[Keratoplasty in children and adolescents].

In a retrospective study 37 penetrating keratoplasties performed on 33 eyes of 29 patients under age 12 were evaluated. One year postoperatively, 19 of 35 grafts were clear and 16 of 35 had failed. In the group aged under 3, most of whom had congenital anomalies, 4 of 14 had clear grafts and 10 of 14 failed grafts after one year.

[Spheroid degeneration of the cornea].

This is a clinical, histopathological and electron microscopical study on the spheroidal degeneration of the cornea by means of 48 histologically verified cases. False clinical diagnoses are surveyed and the presumed mechanism of the development of spheroidal degeneration is discussed.
