Cette thèse, réalisée en partenariat avec l'Institut Curie et Siemens Healthineers, explore l'utilisation de l'imagerie par tomographie par émission de positrons (TEP) pour le pronostic du cancer, en se concentrant sur les lymphomes non hodgkiniens, en particulier le lymphome folliculaire (FL) et le lymphome diffus à grandes cellules B (DLBCL). Partant de l'hypothèse que les biomarqueurs actuels calculés dans les images TEP sous-utilisent leur richesse en informations, ce travail se concentre sur la recherche de nouveaux biomarqueurs en imagerie TEP corps entier.

Abstract:
Understanding the relationship between diet, physical activity and health in humans requires accurate measurement of body composition and daily energy expenditure. Stable isotopes provide a means of measuring total body water and daily energy expenditure under free-living conditions. While the use of isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) for the analysis of 2H (Deuterium) and 18O (Oxygen-18) is well established in the field of human energy metabolism research, numerous questions remain regarding the factors which influence analytical and measurement error using this methodology.

Abstract:
This thesis contains work carried out in two separate fields of medical physics. Firstly, an instrument is described which enable orthopaedic surgeons to measure the in vivo sarcomere length in muscle fibre. The technique relies on the diffraction of laser light as it passes through the periodic structure of striated muscle. The resulting instrument is a modification of one described by other workers. Various refinements to the instrument were carried out and tested during several tendon-transfer operations. A precision of 3% in the sarcomere length may be achieved which is adequate for the su

Abstract:
Total body irradiation (TBI) is often used as part of the conditioning process prior to bone marrow transplants for diseases such as leukemia. By delivering radiation to the entire body, together with chemotherapy, tumour cells are killed and the patient is also immunosupressed. This reduces the risk of disease relapse and increases the chances of a successful implant respectively. TBI requires a large flat field of radiation to cover the entire body with a uniform dose. However, dose uniformity is a major challenge in TBI. (AAPM Report 17) The ICRU report 50 recommends that the dose range w

The effectiveness of this therapy requires the recruitment of transduced donor cells to the CNS.

Abstract:
Adolescência é o período de transição entre a infância e a vida adulta, caracterizado pelos impulsos do desenvolvimento físico, mental, emocional, sexual e social. Essa faixa etária, ao longo dos anos tem apresentado aumento da prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade e danos e agravos à saúde provocados pelas comorbidades associadas. Os fatores que contribuem para esse processo são a alimentação e a inatividade física, portanto conhecer e saber escolher o melhor método para avaliar gasto energético basal e total, atividade física e a composição corporal dessa população ajuda os profissionais da s

Abstract:
The prevalence of obesity continues to increase despite considerable research and innovation regarding treatment and management strategies. When completed as prescribed, exercise training is associated with numerous health benefits and predictable levels of weight loss. However, under free-living conditions the benefits of exercise are less consistent, suggesting that non-adherence and/or a compensatory response in non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) may be occurring. The accurate quantification of all components of total energy expenditure (TEE), including TEE itself, was imperative to

Abstract:
Smokers who successfully quit smoking gain weight; although important factors have been identified the mechanisms remain unclear. We measured changes in body weight, fat distribution, and dietary intake of macronutrients during a 26 week smoking cessation trial with the use of nicotine and placebo patch in a Hispanic sample of smokers (88% Mexican-American). Participants were randomized to receive patch treatment for 10 weeks and then followed for 16 weeks. We found that nicotine treated quitters experienced significantly less weight gain than placebo treated quitters at 6 weeks; however by 26

Abstract:
Background: Impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus are increasingly recognised in survivors of bone marrow transplantation and total body irradiation (BMT/TBI). Aim: To investigate mechanisms leading to increased risk of diabetes in childhood survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) treated with BMT/TBI. Method: Childhood ALL survivors treated with BMTITBI (1 0-14.4Gy) (Group1, n=20,1 OM) were compared with a chemotherapy only Group 2 (n=28, 11 M), and an obese otherwise healthy Group 3 (n=22,7M). All were aged 16-26 and had assessments of metabolic profile (auxology, blood p

Abstract:
Forty-five obese postmenopausal Caucasian women were treated with phentermine hydrochloride (Fastin®) and a 1200 kcal diet for weight reduction. Total and regional body composition changes were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and by anthropometry at 3-mo intervals over 9 mo. Plasma lipids, and serum insulin and leptin were measured. After 3 mo, Fastin® therapy produced a 6.8 kg weight loss (P < 0.01), and DXA-assessed fat and lean mass losses (P < 0.01) of 11.9 and 3.0%. respectively. DXA-estimated regional composition revealed respective fat mass losses of 14.1 and 11.9%. F
