Total energy expenditure assessed by doubly labeled water technique and estimates of physical activity in Mauritian children: analysis by gender and ethnicity

Ramuth, Harris ; Schutz, Yves ; Calonne, Julie ; Joonas, Noorjehan ; Dulloo, Abdul G.

In: European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2020, vol. 74, no. 3, p. 445–453

In the tropical island of Mauritius, the rise in obesity has accelerated in the past decades, and could be contributed by low physical activity and increased sedentary behavior. The study objectives were to generate the first dataset of total energy expenditure (TEE), to estimate physical activity in Mauritian children, and to explore differences due to gender and ethnicity.Subjects/methods:...

Kinetics and mechanism of mineral respiration: how iron hemes synchronize electron transfer rates

Chabert, Valentin ; Babel, Lucille ; Füeg, Michael P. ; Karamash, Maksym ; Madivoli, Edwin S. ; Herault, Nelly ; Dantas, Joana M. ; Salgueiro, Carlos A. ; Giese, Bernd ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2020, vol. 59, no. 30, p. 12331-12336

Anaerobic microorganisms of the Geobacter genus are effective electron sources for the synthesis of nanoparticles, for bioremediation of polluted water, and for the production of electricity in fuel cells. In multistep reactions, electrons are transferred via iron/heme cofactors of c‐type cytochromes from the inner cell membrane to extracellular metal ions, which are bound to outer membrane...

Collaborating with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers when writing HPV vaccine review articles

Deml, Michael J. ; Dietrich, Léna G. ; Wingeier, Bernhard ; Etter, Gisela ; Gallmann, Caesar ; Berger, Christoph ; Suggs, L. Suzanne ; Huber, Benedikt M. ; Tarr, Philip E.

In: Journal of clinical medicine, 2020, vol. 9, no. 2, p. 15 p

Novel strategies are needed to address vaccine hesitancy (VH), which correlates with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). In Switzerland, CAM providers play important roles in vaccine counseling of vaccine hesitant (VH) parents, and traditional vaccination messaging tends to overlook CAM provider perspectives. In the setting of a Swiss national research program on VH, our key strategy ...

Complementary medicine provision in an academic hospital: evaluation and structuring project

Rodondi, Pierre-Yves ; Lüthi, Emmanuelle ; Dubois, Julie ; Roy, Edith ; Burnand, Bernard ; Grass, Geneviève

In: The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2019, vol. 25, no. 6, p. 606–612

Objectives: Complementary medicine (CM) has become increasingly available in hospital settings in several countries. Nonetheless, there are disparities in the provision and organization of CM between hospitals and even within a single hospital. This was the case at Lausanne University Hospital, where neither a registry of CM practices nor homogeneous guidelines for the provision of CM...

Assessment of the dose–response relationship between meal protein content and postprandial thermogenesis: effect of sex and the oral contraceptive pill

Duhita, Maharani R. ; Schutz, Yves ; Montani, Jean-Pierre ; Dulloo, Abdul G. ; Miles-Chan, Jennifer L.

In: Nutrients, 2019, vol. 11, no. 7, p. 1599

Implementation of efficacious dietary interventions to regulate energy balance requires understanding of the determinants of individual response. To date, information regarding individual variability in response to elevated meal protein content is lacking. This study investigates whether sex and/or oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use play a role in the response to elevated meal protein in 21...

Primary care patients’ use of conventional and complementary medicine for chronic low back pain

Rodondi, Pierre-Yves ; Bill, Anne-Sylvie ; Danon, Nadia ; Dubois, Julie ; Pasquier, Jérôme ; Matthey-de-l'Endroit, Florence ; Herzig, Lilli ; Burnand, Bernard

In: Journal of Pain Research, 2019, vol. Volume 12, p. 2101–2112

To investigate among primary care patients and their physicians in western Switzerland the prevalence of use, perceived usefulness, and communication about common treatments for chronic or recurrent low back pain (crLBP) including complementary medicine (CM). Patients and methods: A cross-sectional cluster observational study involving 499 crLBP patients visiting 45 primary care physicians...

Swiss paediatrician survey on complementary medicine

Huber, Benedikt M. ; von Schoen-Angerer, Tido ; Hasselmann, Oswald ; Wildhaber, Johannes ; Wolf, Ursula

In: Swiss Medical Weekly, 2019, p. -

In Switzerland, complementary medicine (CM) is officially recognised within the healthcare system and mainly practised in an integrative manner, in conjunction with conventional medicine. As in other countries, there is high demand for and use of CM with children. However, there has so far been no research into the attitude towards, training in and offer of CM among paediatricians in...
