Age-related changes in human blood lymphocyte subpopulations / Frank Hulstaert in Clinical immunology and immunopathology, 70(1994)02 ([02/01/1994])

Hannet, Author ; V. Deneys, Author ; V. Munhyeshuli, Author ; T. Reichert, Author ; M. De Bruyere, Author ; K. Strauss, Author . - 1994 . - 152-158. Languages : English (eng) in Clinical immunology and immunopathology > 70(1994)02 [02/01/1994] . - 152-158 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Adolescent ; Adult ; Aging ; Antigens, CD ; Antigens, Differentiation ; Child ; Child, Preschool ; Female ; Humans ; Immunophenotyping ; Infant ; Infant, Newborn ; Journal Article ; Leukocyte Count ; Male ; Middle Aged ; T-Lymphocytes ; United States Abstract: A reference range for lymphocyte populations, with particular emphasis on T lymphocyte subsets, was obtained for normal individuals covering age cohorts from birth through adulthood. This report confirms and extends findings from a developmental reference range published earlier (1). Absolute numbers of WBC, lymphocytes, and T, B, and NK subsets decline significantly during childhood. However, differences in the rate of decline of certain lymphocyte subsets leads to discordance between absolute numbers and percentages. Those lymphocyte subsets which decline less rapidly with age than the total lymphocyte count will show an increase in percentage, whereas those which decline more rapidly will show further declines in percentage values. T cell percentages were seen to increase over time whereas B cell percentages decline. Markers of immaturity such as CD45RA on CD4 cells and CD38 on CD8 cells declined in both percentages and absolute numbers. Activation markers, such as HLA-DR on CD8 cells and IL2-R on CD3 cells, increased in percentages with time but changed inconsistently in cell number from infancy to adulthood. These findings extend the lymphocyte references range to markers thought to be informative in various disease states, including HIV infection.

Age-Specific Search Strategies for Medline / Monika Kastner in Journal of Medical Internet Research, 8(4) ([11/05/2012])  

[article] Age-Specific Search Strategies for Medline [printed text] / Monika Kastner, Author ; Nancy L Wilczynski, Author ; Cindy Walker-Dilks, Author ; Kathleen Ann McKibbon, Author ; Brian R. Haynes, Author . - 2012 . - e25. Languages : English (eng) in Journal of Medical Internet Research > 8(4) [11/05/2012] . - e25 Descriptors: Indexation Adult ; Aged ; Infant, Newborn ; MEDLINE ; Obstetrics ; Pediatrics ; Special queries Abstract: BACKGROUND: Many clinicians and researchers are interested in patients of a specific age (childhood, geriatrics, and so on). Searching for age-specific publications in large bibliographic databases such as Medline is problematic because of inconsistencies in indexing, overlapping age categories, and the spread of the relevant literature over many journals. To our knowledge, no empirically tested age-specific search strategies exist for Medline. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the retrieval characteristics of age-specific terms in Medline for identifying studies relevant for five clinical specialties: adult medicine, geriatric medicine, pediatric medicine, neonatal medicine, and obstetrics. METHODS: We compared age-specific search terms and phrases for the retrieval of citations in Medline with a manual hand search of the literature for 161 core health care journals. Six experienced research assistants who were trained and intensively calibrated read all issues of 161 journals for the publishing year 2000. In addition to classifying all articles for purpose and quality, study participants' ages were also recorded. Outcome measures were sensitivity, specificity, precision, and accuracy of single and combination search terms. RESULTS: When maximizing sensitivity, the best sensitivity and specificity achieved with combination terms were 98% and 81.2%, respectively, for pediatric medicine, 96.4% and 55.9% for geriatric medicine, 95.3% and 83.6% for neonatal medicine, 94.9% and 64.5% for adult medicine, and 82% and 97.1% for obstetrics. When specificity was maximized, all disciplines had an expected decrease in sensitivity and an increase in precision. Highest values for optimizing best sensitivity and specificity were achieved in neonatal medicine, 92.5% and 92.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Selected single terms and combinations of MeSH terms and textwords can reliably retrieve age-specific studies cited in Medline.

Resource guides Indexation Child, Preschool ; Family Relations ; Infant, Newborn ; Pediatrics ; Psychopathology Abstract: La théorie de l'attachement propose une compréhension de la genèse du lien fondamental tel qu'un bébé s'attache à ceux qui l'élèvent. Le moteur essentiel de cette construction est la satisfaction de son besoin inné de proximité et de sécurité avec les figures censées le protéger. Cet ouvrage présente les concepts généraux de la théorie de l'attachement tout au long de la vie, de la naissance à l'âge mûr. Cette 4e édition propose une mise à jour complète de l'ensemble des connaissances sur la théorie de l'attachement, dont les applications thérapeutiques se développent. Elle propose également des thématiques nouvelles liées aux découvertes récentes en neurosciences et à l'évolution de la société : Attachement et neurosciences - Attachement et courant développemental chez l'adulte - Attachement et sexualité de l'adulte - Attachement et société - Les mesures de l'attachement chez l'adolescent et la personne âgée.
