RESUMO

This was a cross-sectional study with chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients under non-dialysis-dependent (NDD), hemodialysis (HD), and kidney transplant (KTx) treatment aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia using the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) guidelines, and to analyze the relationship between sarcopenia and its components and body adiposity. Body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and anthropometry. Bioelectrical impedance provided data on the phase angle and body water. The prevalence of sarcopenia in the total sample (n = 243; 53% men, 48 ± 10 years) was 7% according to the FNIH and 5% according to the EWGSOP2 criteria, and was low in each CKD group independently of the criteria applied (maximum 11% prevalence). Low muscle mass was present in 39% (FNIH) and 36% (EWGSOP2) and dynapenia in 10% of the patients. Patients who were sarcopenic according to the EWGSOP2 criteria presented low body adiposity. Conversely, patients who were sarcopenic according to the FNIH criteria presented high adiposity. This study suggests that in CKD (i) sarcopenia and low muscle mass prevalence varies according to the diagnostic criteria; (ii) sarcopenia and low muscle mass are common conditions; (iii) the association with body adiposity depends on the criteria used to define low muscle mass; and (iv) the FNIH criteria detected higher adiposity in individuals with sarcopenia. Novelty: Prevalence of sarcopenia and low muscle mass in CKD varied according to the diagnostic criteria. Association of excess adiposity with sarcopenia and low muscle mass depends on muscle mass index applied. FNIH criteria detected higher adiposity in individuals with sarcopenia and low muscle mass.

Abstract Objective To compare the relationship between the Perception of the Body Image and the Body Mass Index in secondary school students of two municipalities of Yucatán. Material and Methods Quantitative and cross-sectional study, with a population of 462 students aged from 11 to 17 belonging to schools in the municipalities of Abalá and Chacsinkin, Yucatán. Body weight and height were taken; Body Mass Index (BMI) by age was calculated according to the patterns of the World Health Organization (WHO) for adolescents. Body image perception was determined by means of the Body Image Perception Analysis (BPI) instrument proposed by Stunkard and Stellard and modified by Collins. For the inferential statistical analysis, the Chi-square test with a statistical significance value of 5% was used. Results 62.9% of adolescents have a normal Body Mass Index; while 35.6% have a combined prevalence of obesity and overweight. Regarding Perception of Body Image, 28.8% of adolescents were perceived according to their real BMI; 25.3% were perceived with BMI greater than the real and 45.9% were perceived with BMI lower than they actually have Conclusions In the municipality of Abalá, adolescents presented a higher prevalence of normal weight and excess weight; higher frequency of concordance between body perception and real BMI and overestimation of their BMI, unlike the higher frequency of underestimation that occurred in adolescents in the municipality of Chacsinkin Adolescents in both municipalities with excess weight underestimated their BMI and they did not identify it as a health problem, which represents an area of opportunity for the work of the multidisciplinary health team.

RESUMO

Em relação às perspectivas das pesquisas que tentam explicar as manifestações políticas de junho de 2013, no Brasil, entendemos que refletem uma mudança no processo de formação dos laços sociais que produzem os protestos contemporâneos. Este artigo tem por objetivo mostrar tais transformações sob a ótica das diferenças entre os conceitos de massa, visto em Freud (1921/2011), e multidão, em Hardt e Negri (2014). Buscamos alinhar uma discussão entre os conceitos à luz desses dados para demonstrar que há mudanças plausíveis nas formas e organização de protestos no século XXI as quais impedem uma explicação totalizante sob a única perspectiva das massas. Concluímos que as manifestações de junho de 2013 correm em tendência ao conceito de multidão, devido aos processos de formação dos laços sociais horizontais, à não submissão do Eu a uma identidade totalizadora, dando espaço à produção do comum, e à importância das singularidades.

About the perspectives generated by researches that attempt to explain the political events of june 2013, in Brazil, we understand that there generated a change in the formation of social bonds that produce contemporary protests. This article aims to show these such changes under the lens of the differences between the concepts of mass, in Freud (1921/2011), and multitude, in Hardt and Negri (2014). We attempt to align a discussion between the concepts in the light of data to show that there are changes in plausible ways and organizing protests in the twenty-first century that prevent a totalizing explanation under the unique perspective of the masses. We conclude that the events of June 2013 runs in trend to the concept of multitude due to the formation processes of horizontal social bonds, not submission Ego a totalized identity, giving space to production of the common and the importance of singularities.

RESUMO

Obesity is associated with an energy imbalance that results from excessive energy intake, low diet quality, and a sedentary lifestyle. The increased consumption of a high-refined carbohydrate (HC) diet is strongly related to higher adiposity and low-grade inflammation. Aerobic training is a well-known nonpharmacological intervention to treat obesity and metabolic disturbances. However, the mechanisms through which aerobic training ameliorates the low-grade inflammation induced by an HC diet should be further investigated. Our hypothesis herein was that aerobic training would decrease the recruitment of leukocytes in adipose tissue, thereby reducing the levels of cytokines and improving metabolism in mice fed an HC diet. Male Balb/c mice were assigned to the following groups: control diet/nontrained (C-NT), control diet/trained (C-T), high-refined carbohydrate diet/nontrained (HC-NT), and high-refined carbohydrate diet/trained (HC-T). Mice were submitted to moderate-intensity training sessions that consisted of running 60 min per day for 8 weeks. An intravital microscopy technique was performed in vivo in anesthetized mice to visualize the microvasculature of the adipose tissue. The HC diet induced obesity and increased the influx of immune cells into the adipose tissue. In contrast, HC-T mice presented a lower adiposity and adipocyte area. Furthermore, relative to HC-NT mice, HC-T mice showed increased resting energy expenditure, decreased recruitment of immune cells in the adipose tissue, reduced cytokine levels, and ameliorated hyperglycemia and fatty liver deposition. Collectively, our data enhance understanding about the anti-inflammatory effect of aerobic training and shed light on the adipose tissue-mediated mechanisms by which training promotes a healthier metabolic profile.

RESUMO

According to the World Health Organization Expert Consultation, current body mass index (BMI) cut-offs should be retained as an international classification. However, there are ethnic differences in BMI-associated health risks that may be caused by differences in body fat or skeletal muscle mass and these may affect the interpretation of phase angle and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA). Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare body composition measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis among 1048 German, 1026 Mexican, and 995 Japanese adults encompassing a wide range of ages and BMIs (18-78 years; BMI, 13.9-44.3 kg/m2). Regression analyses between body composition parameters and BMI were used to predict ethnic-specific reference values at the standard BMI cut-offs of 18.5, 25, and 30 kg/m2. German men and women had a higher fat-free mass per fat mass compared with Mexicans. Normal-weight Japanese were similar to Mexicans but approached the German phenotype with increasing BMI. The skeletal muscle index (SMI, kg/m2) was highest in Germans, whereas in BIVA, the Mexican group had the longest vector, and the Japanese group had the lowest phase angle and the highest extracellular/total body water ratio. Ethnic differences in regional partitioning of fat and muscle mass at the trunk and the extremities contribute to differences in BIVA and phase angle. In conclusion, not only the relationship between BMI and adiposity is ethnic specific; in addition, fat distribution, SMI, and muscle mass distribution vary at the same BMI. These results emphasize the need for ethnic-specific normal values in the diagnosis of obesity and sarcopenia.

RESUMO

The natural rubber latex extracted from the bark of Hevea brasiliensis plays various important roles in modern society. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of the latex proteins are important for the stability and functionality of the proteins. In this study, latex proteins were acquired from the C-serum, lutoids, and rubber particle layers of latex without using prior enrichment steps; they were fragmented using collision-induced dissociation (CID), higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD), and electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) activation methods. PEAKS 7 were used to search for unspecified PTMs, followed by analysis through PTM prediction tools to crosscheck both results. There were 73 peptides in 47 proteins from H. brasiliensis protein sequences derived from UniProtKB were identified and predicted to be post-translationally modified. The peptides with PTMs identified include phosphorylation, lysine acetylation, N-terminal acetylation, hydroxylation, and ubiquitination. Most of the PTMs discovered have yet to be reported in UniProt, which would provide great assistance in the research of the functional properties of H. brasiliensis latex proteins, as well as being useful biomarkers. The data are available via the MassIVE repository with identifier MSV000082419.

RESUMO

A proposta deste trabalho é abordar o limite de escala lógica do cartel. Esse dispositivo de transmissão é proposto por Jacques Lacan e chamado de "órgão de base" do funcionamento de sua Escola. O cartel pode ser entendido como uma forma coletiva que emerge de diversas tentativas - inclusive fracassadas - de constituição que se estrutura para-além dos efeitos de 'grupo' descritos por Freud em Psicologia das massas e análise do eu. Portanto, objetiva-se que o cartel escape às tradicionais estruturas hierárquicas e verticalizadas, além de tentar esvaziar o sentido das identificações entre os pares e do 'Um ideal'. Para tanto, a proposta é de um arranjo lógico limitado a 4+1, em que os membros do cartel se reúnam em torno de um tema (que funcionaria como elo entre o pequeno grupo), apresentando um argumento de trabalho que simultaneamente faz o grupo - uma vez que os membros estão articulados por uma produção de saber, uma tarefa - e particulariza a questão. Pensando com base na teoria dos discursos (que se utiliza de matemas para demonstrar os engendramentos dos laços sociais) proposta por Lacan em 1969-70, a estrutura de um cartel pode ser associada a uma inscrição no discurso do analista. Os outros discursos - do mestre, do universitário e da histérica - de certo modo mapeiam o aparelhamento de gozo de maneira indiferente às escalas sociais. A qualificação 'numérica' do cartel é pouco estudada na psicanálise e, em nosso entender, diz de um compromisso implícito da teoria lacaniana com certas teses da filosofia política e da sociologia a respeito da origem dos fenômenos de massa. Partindo-se dessas idéias é que nos perguntamos o que seria um 'laço pelo discurso analítico' que não corroborasse com esse corolário restritivo, que, ao contrário dos outros discursos, incide sobre a escala do laço social. Tentamos nos servir da psicanálise - sobretudo da proposta lacaniana do cartel - para pensarmos na estrutura grupal como também potencialmente emancipatória. Acreditamos que isso está posto no fundamento do 'órgão basal' da Escola, ao sugerir pensar para-além da alienação grupal.

The purpose of this paper is to address the logical scale limit of the cartel. This transmission device proposed by Jacques Lacan and called the "basic organ" of the functioning of his School can be understood as a collective form that emerges from a number of attempts - including failures - of the constitution that structures itself beyond the group effects described by Freud in Mass Psychology and Self-Analysis. Therefore, it is intended that the cartel escape from traditional hierarchical and vertical structures, as well as try to empty the sense of identifications between peers and the "One ideal". To do so, the proposal is a logical arrangement limited to 4 + 1, in which the cartel members gather around a theme (which would act as a link between the small group), presenting a working argument that simultaneously makes the group - since the members are articulated by a production of knowledge, a task - and particularizes the question. Thinking on the theory of speeches (using maths to demonstrate the engendering of social ties) proposed by Lacan in 1969-70, the structure of a cartel can be associated with an inscription in the analyst's speech. The other speech from the master, the university, and the hysteric-somehow map the apparatus of enjoyment indifferently to social scales. The "numerical" qualification of the cartel is little studied in psychoanalysis and, in our opinion, it says of an implicit commitment of the Lacanian theory with certain theses of the political philosophy and the sociology with respect to the origin of the mass phenomena. Starting from these ideas, we ask ourselves what would be a "tie by analytic discourse" that does not corroborate this restrictive corollary, which, unlike the other speeches, focuses on the scale of the social bond. We try to use psychoanalysis - especially the Lacanian proposal of the cartel - to think of the group structure as also potentially emancipatory. We believe that this is on the foundation of the 'basal organ' of the School, by suggesting thinking beyond group alienation.

La apuesta de este trabajo es tratar del límite del nivel lógico del cartel. Ese dispositivo de transmisión es propuesto por Jacques Lacan y llamado de "órgano de base" del funcionamiento de su Escuela. El cartel puede ser entendido como una forma colectiva que surge de diversos intentos - incluso fracasados - de constitución que se estructura para allá de los efectos de 'grupo' descritos por Freud en Psicología de las masas y análisis del yo. Por lo tanto, se objetiva que el cártel escape de las tradicionales estructuras de jerarquía y verticalizadas, además de intentar vaciar el sentido de las identificaciones entre los pares y del 'Un ideal'. Para eso, la propuesta es de un arreglo lógico limitado a 4+1, en que los miembros del cartel se reúnan en torno de un tema (que funcionaría como eslabón entre el pequeño grupo), presentando un argumento de trabajo que el grupo hace a la vez - una vez que los miembros están articulados por una producción de saber, una tarea - y particulariza la cuestión. Pensando con base en la teoría de los discursos (que se utiliza de matemas para demostrar la formación de los lazos sociales) propuesta por Lacan en 1969-70, la estructura de un cartel puede ser relacionada a una inscripción en el discurso del analista. Los otros discursos - del maestro, del universitario y de la histérica - de cierto modo mapean el aparato de gozo de manera indiferente a las escalas sociales. La calificación 'numérica' del cartel es poco estudiada en el psicoanálisis y, en nuestro entendimiento, habla de un compromiso implícito de la teoría lacaniana con ciertas tesis de la filosofía política y de la sociología a respecto del origen de los fenómenos de masa. A partir de esa idea nos preguntamos qué sería un 'lazo por el discurso analítico' que no corroborara con ese corolario restrictivo que, al contrario de los otros discursos, cae sobre la escala del lazo social. Intentamos servirnos del psicoanálisis - sobre todo de la propuesta lacaniana del cártel - para pensar en la estructura de grupo como también potencialmente emancipadora. Creemos que eso está puesto en el fundamento del 'órgano basal' de la Escuela, al sugerir pensar para allá de la alienación de grupo.

Le but de cet article est aborder la limite d'échelle logique du cartel. Ce dispositif de transmission est proposé par Jacques Lacan et est appelé «organe de base¼ du fonctionnement de son école. Le cartel peut être compris comme une forme collective qui résulte de diverses tentatives - même les tentatives échouées - de constitution qui est structurée au-delàs des effets de «groupe¼ décrit par Freud dans Psychologie des masses et analyse du moi. Donc, il est prévu que le cartel échappe aux traditionnelles structures hiérarchiques et verticales, et aussi essaye de vider le sens des identifications entre les pairs et du «Moi idéal¼. À cette fin, la proposition est d'une disposition logique limitée à 4 +1, dans lequel les membres du cartel se réunissent autour d'un thème (qui fonctionnerait comme un lien entre le petit groupe), en présentant un argument de travail qui (simultanément) construit le groupe - une fois que les membres sont articulés par une production du savoir, une tâche - et identifie le problème. En prenant comme base la théorie des discours (laquelle s'utilise de mathèmes pour démontrer les mécanismes des liens sociaux) proposée par Lacan en 1969-70, la structure d'un cartel peut être associée à un enregistrement au discours de l'analyste. Les autres discours - du maître, de l'universitaire et de l'hystérique - dans certaines façons, cartographient le développement de la jouissance indifféremment des échelles sociales. La qualification «numérique¼ du cartel est peu étudiée chez la psychanalyse et, à notre avis, montre un engagement implicite de la théorie lacanienne avec certaines thèses de sociologie et de philosophie politique par rapport à l'origine de phénomènes de masse. En prenant ces idées on se demande ce qui serait un «lien par le discours analytique¼ qui ne corrobore pas avec ce corollaire restrictif, qui, contrairement aux autres discours, influence l'échelle du lien social. On s'est servi de la psychanalyse - en particulier de la proposition lacanienne de cartel - avec l'objectif de penser la structure de groupe comme potentiellement émancipatrice. On croit que cela est présenté dans le fondement de «l'orgue basale¼ de l'École, quand s'est suggérée penser au-delà de l'aliénation du groupe.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: High body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP) are major contributors to the high burden of non-communicable diseases in adulthood. Individual high-risk and population approaches for prevention require newer strategies to target these risk factors and focusing on the family to introduce prevention initiatives appears as a promising scenario. Characterisation of the relationship between BMI and BP among the adult members of a given family merits evaluation. We conducted a secondary analysis of an implementation study in Tumbes, Peru, benefiting from data derived from families with at least one adult offspring. METHODS: The exposures of interest were the BMI, systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) of the mother and father. The outcomes were the BMI, SBP and DBP of the offspring. Mixed-effects linear regression models were conducted. RESULTS: The mean age of the offspring, mothers and fathers was 29 (SD: 9.5), 54 (SD: 11.8) and 59 (SD: 11.6) years, respectively. Father's BMI was associated with a quarter-point increase in offspring BMI, regardless of the sex of the offspring. Mother's BMI had a similar effect on the BMI of her sons, but had no significant effect on her daughters'. Mother's SBP was associated with almost one-tenth of mmHg increase in the SBP of the adult offspring. There was no evidence of an association for DBP. CONCLUSIONS: In families with adult members, the higher the parents' BMI and SBP, the higher their adult offspring's levels will be.

RESUMO

The aim of the present study was to compare muscular performance and body composition changes following low-volume resistance-training programs consisting of multi-joint (MJ) exercises (cable chest press and seated row) versus a combination of multi- and single-joint (MJ+SJ) exercises (cable chest press, seated row, biceps curl, and triceps extension). Thirty untrained healthy aging adults were randomly assigned to 3 groups: MJ (n = 11), MJ+SJ (n = 11), and control (n = 8). Twelve-repetition maximums (12-RMs) for the cable chest press and seated row, localized muscular endurance for the elbow flexors handgrip strength, and body composition were assessed before and after the 8-week training program. All comparisons were analyzed via a mixed-model analysis with repeated measures (group × time) and the Bonferroni post hoc test (p < 0.05). The MJ and MJ+SJ groups increased performance in the 12-RM cable chest press (MJ = 61.5% ± 24.6% and MJ+SJ = 71.1% ± 25.6%), 12-RM seated row (MJ = 46.4% ± 26.3% and MJ+SJ = 51.5% ± 21.0%), localized muscular endurance (MJ = 24.7% ± 16.7% and MJ+SJ = 37.0% ± 11.4%), and handgrip strength (MJ = 9.3% ± 10.4% and MJ+SJ = 16.6% ± 25.3%) after the intervention. Body composition (i.e., trunk and upper limb fat and lean mass) did not change for any groups. No significant differences were observed between the MJ versus the MJ+SJ protocols after the intervention for any variables. In conclusion, for aging adults, either MJ or MJ+SJ low-volume resistance training resulted in similar increases in 12-RM, localized muscular endurance, and handgrip strength, without changes in body composition after 8 weeks of training.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of urolithiasis is increasing with dietary changes especially in developed countries. Guadeloupe is a French department overseas where western diet meets traditional local food. The objective was to describe and analyze the epidemiology of urolithiasis in Guadeloupe. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective single-center study throughout the year 2015 on patients hospitalized for urolithiasis at University Hospital of Pointe-à-Pitre. Data of the patients, treatments performed and the types of stones were recorded. According to their mineral content, groups were composed. RESULTS: In total, 165 patients were included. The sex ratio was 1.61. The median body mass index (BMI) was 26.5kg/m2. The most common stone was oxalocalcic (64.7%). Mixed stones (24.7%) were in second place. There were only 3.5% of uric acid urolithiasis. Calcium oxalate stones were predominantly monohydrate. The oxalocalcic stones were significantly more frequent in men (80% versus 47.5%, P=0.01) and in the age group over 50 years old (72.2% versus 51.6%, P=0.04). There was no association between the type of stone and the BMI. CONCLUSION: Epidemiology of urolithiasis in our French Caribbean island is, therefore, similar to continental France. However, our population is distinguished by the proportion of women affected and by the different proportions among each type of stone. Other studies on larger samples are needed to study these specificities. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

RESUMO

The natural rubber latex extracted from the bark of Hevea brasiliensis plays various important roles in today's modern society. Following ultracentrifugation, the latex can be separated into 3 layers: C-serum, lutoids, and rubber particles. Previous studies have shown that a large number of proteins are present in these 3 layers. However, a complete proteome for this important plant is still unavailable. Protein sequences have been recently translated from the completed draft genome database of H. brasiliensis, leading to the creation of annotated protein databases of the following H. brasiliensis biosynthetic pathways: photosynthesis, latex allergens, rubberwood formation, latex biosynthesis, and disease resistance. This research was conducted to identify the proteins contained within the latex by way of de novo sequencing from mass spectral data obtained from the 3 layers of the latex. Peptides from these proteins were fragmented using collision-induced dissociation, higher-energy collisional dissociation, and electron-transfer dissociation activation methods. A large percentage of proteins from the biosynthetic pathways (63% to 100%) were successfully identified. In addition, a total of 1839 unique proteins were identified from the whole translated draft genome database (AnnHBM).

RESUMO

Freud parece explicar el comportamiento psicológico de las masas organizadas a partir de los procesos anímicos de la psique individual. Bajo las consideraciones freudianas y a la luz de ciertas apreciaciones lacanianas, el presente trabajo, resultado de la una investigación de tesis de grado de la maestría en Psicoanálisis, subjetividad y Cultura de la Universidad Nacional, caracterizará una nueva formación colectiva que se ha venido gestando desde la década de los 80 y que parece diferenciarse radicalmente la masa psicológica freudiana. Se trata de los Movimientos Sociales, denominados así por los sociólogos y estudiosos de la psicología colectiva más recientes. Ésta nueva formación colectiva a primera vista parece poner en tela de juicio las apreciaciones freudianas sobre la psicología de las masas, o al menos demandar una nueva consideración de las mismas desde los aportes psicoanalíticos...

Freud seems to explain the psychological behavior of the organized masses from the mental processes of the individual psyche. Under the Freudian considerations and in light of certain Lacanian findings, the present research work, the result of an investigation thesis of the Master's Degree in Psychoanalysis, Subjectivity, and Culture at the National University of Colombia, will characterize a new collective formation that has been growing from the 1980s and that seems to be radically different from the Freudian psychological mass. This is the Social Movements, so called by the most recent sociologists and scholars of collective psychology. This new collective formation appears to call into question the Freudian insights on group psychology, or it demands at least a new consideration of masses from the psychoanalytic contributions...

Freud semble expliquer le comportement philosophique des masses organisées basé sur les processus animiques de la psyché individuelle. À la lumière des considérations freudiennes et de quelques réflexions lacaniennes, ce texte, résultat d'un projet de recherche pour l'obtention du Master Psychanalyse, subjectivité et culture de l'Université Nationale de Colombie, caractérisera une nouvelle formation collective qui évolue depuis les années 80 et qui semblerait se différencier radicalement de la masse psychologique freudienne. Il s'agit des Mouvement Sociaux, ainsi nommés par les sociologues et les spécialistes contemporains de la psychologie collective À première vue, cette formation collective semblerait remettre en cause les appréciations freudiennes sur la psychologie des masses, ou tout au moins, demander une nouvelle considération de celles-ci fondée sur les contributions psychanalytiques...

RESUMO

Objetivo: desarrollar un análisis por elementos finitos de la influencia del ángulo fisis-diáfisis, la masa corporal y la actividad física con el fin de observar su predominancia en la incidencia de deslizamiento epifisiario. Métodos: se elaboraron los modelos correspondientes a las combinaciones entre cada uno de los parámetros definidos (ángulo, masa y actividad física), generando 20 casos diferentes, y se evaluaron los esfuerzos presentes a lo largo de la placa de crecimiento. Resultados: se muestra un comportamiento uniforme y similar entre cada combinación, así como un aumento en las tensiones en la medida en que se incrementaba el valor de la carga y del ángulo. Conclusiones: el esfuerzo tiende a aumentar cuando se incrementa tanto el ángulo como la masa física, lo cual sugiere que estos dos factores podrían influir de manera decisiva en el origen del deslizamiento epifisiario(AU)

Objective: to develop a finite element analysis of the influence of physis-diaphysis angle, body mass and physical activity to observe its predominance in the incidence of epiphyseal gliding. Methods: models corresponding to the combinations among each of the defined parameters (angle, mass and physical activity) were developed, generating 20 different cases and efforts present through the growth plate were evaluated. Results: a similar and uniform behaviour between each of the combinations is shown as well as an increase in tension at the same time as the value of the load and angle increases. Conclusions: effort tends to increase when there is an increment in both the angle and the physical mass what suggests that these two factors could have a decisive influence on the origin of the epiphyseal gliding(AU)

But: en s'appuyant sur la technique des éléments finis, une analyse de l'influence de l'angle physe-diaphyse, la masse corporelle et l'activité physique a été réalisée afin d'observer cette influence sur l'incidence du déplacement épiphysaire. Méthodes: des modèles correspondant aux combinaisons entre chaque paramètre défini (angle, masse et activité physique), en résultant 20 cas différents, ont été élaborés, et les efforts présents tout au long de la plaque de croissance ont été évalués. Résultats: un comportement uniforme et similaire entre chaque combinaison est montré, ainsi qu'une élevée des tensions au fur et à mesure que la valeur de la charge et l'angle augmentaient. Conclusions: l'effort tend à augmenter lorsque l'angle et la masse physique s'accroissent, ce qui indique que ces deux facteurs pourraient influer certainement sur l'origine du déplacement épiphysaire(AU)
