Many health-related research studies among Seventh-day Adventists (SDA) were published since 1958. Californian and Norwegian studies have shown that SDA have lower coronary mortality rates than the general population. This finding is usually attributed to the lifestyle advocated by the Seventh-day Adventist church with greater physical activity, lower median BMI, abstention from use of alcohol and tobacco, food habits characterized by a large intake of fruits, vegetables, cereal fiber, unsaturated fatty acids and a low consumption of saturated fats. The results about cancer incidence were discussed. Californian studies have shown significantly decreased relative risk in SDA than in the general population. Japanese studies have also reported lower risk of cancers in men with lifestyles similar to those of SDA. By contrast the Norwegian study of SDA has shown that the risk of cancer seems to be similar to that of the general population. Some studies reported a greater prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the non vegetarian SDA than the vegetarian. Compared with vegetarian, non vegetarian SDA reported more medication use, more chronic diseases, more hospitalizations and surgeries. Lifestyle choices of SDA as above described could prevent a great many coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes. This lifestyle is now emphasized by French PNNS. 相似文献
The authors aimed at evaluating the impact of psychotraumas in psychiatric outpatients. One hundred forty psychiatric outpatients were consecutively included, without distinction of their current pathology. They filled in an inventory of potentially traumatic experiences, a psychological dissociative experiences scale, a somatoform dissociative experiences questionnaire, and underwent a structured interview for diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (according to the DSM-IV). One hundred subjects related psychological trauma, and 76 patients suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder. Dissociative disorders are found significantly correlated with traumatic experience and to posttraumatic stress disorder. The traumatic impact is found more substantial as the number of events was elevated. This study confirms the elevated prevalence of the psychological traumas and psychotraumatic aftermaths in outpatients of a department of psychiatry, independently from the mental disorder. 相似文献
Patients with neuromuscular diseases have protein malnutrition related to the muscle mass decrease. When associated with a decrease in food intake below requirements, patients become cachectic. Respiratory complications are then frequent and severe. In case of respiratory distress, the acute stress might aggravate the protein loss which will be particularly difficult to restore if the muscular activity is reduced. Although there are no curative therapies for neuromuscular diseases but all symptomatic treatments are useful in maintaining function and quality of life; therefore the prevention of malnutrition is essential. Nutritional care is difficult because of the lack of norms for body composition and protein and energy requirements. The nutritional support must take into account the swallowing difficulties, the digestive and polyvisceral involvement and the natural history of the disease. The nutritional support is usually enteral. Feeding through a gastrostomy tube, feasable at home, has improved the quality of life of the patient. Parenteral nutrition is prescribed for limited periods for surgery or acute respiratory failure. 相似文献
Résumé: La rémission du cancer peut être l’occasion pour certains patients d’une réelle détresse émotionnelle ainsi que d’une désadaptation psychologique appelées: syndrome de Lazare. Nous émettons trois hypothèses explicatives quant à la survenue de tels troubles. La première confronte l’issue du cancer aux concepts psychanalytiques de dette et de masochisme. La deuxième envisage les symptômes sous l’angle d’une réaction de sevrage. Et la dernière évoque le contrecoup traumatique des traitements.Dossier: «Cliniques du cancer» 相似文献
