Síndrome Hemolítico Urémico

INTRODUCCIÓN Esta entidad (SHU) fue descrita por Gasser (1) en 1955; desde entonces se ha progresado ensu epidemiología y patología, algo en su etiología y siguen existiendo dudas sobre su patogenia. El progreso en su resolución es más debido a tratamientos sintomáticos y de sostén que al conocimiento de la enfermedad. De todos modos cada vez es más diagnosticada, siendo la primera causa de insuficiencia renal aguda primitiva en la infancia (prescindiendo de aquellos casos secundarios a fallo hemodinámico o prerrenal), sobre todo en niños de uno a tres años....

Prevalencia de la sintomatología del Síndrome de Asperger y variables asociadas en preescolares españoles

Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) forms part of the whole spectrum of autistic disorders. Until recently it has not been studied in early ages. The aim of this study is to determine the AS’s prevalence of symptoms in general preschool, rural and urban population. In addition, the association of the development areas and symptoms of anxiety and the presence of symptoms of AS was analized. The sample ofthis study consisted in 1104 preschool children between 3-6 years old. The presence of AS’s symptoms was evaluated by a screening tool for psychiatric disorders. This tool was applied to both, preschooler’s parents and their teachers The prevalence of symptoms of AS for parents and teachers was 11.7‰ and 8.1‰, respectively. The presence of AS’s symptoms was associated with language compression delays, general and fine motor coordination, self-help skills and impairment in game activities. In addition, our results showed that the AS has a strong association with specific phobia symptoms and tics. We conclude that an early detection of AS’s symptoms is possible since we found similar prevalence described in other recent researches. Given the impairment associated with AS, its detection is highly recommended

Habilidades de cognición social en niños y niñas con el síndrome de Down: resultados de un estudio preliminar

The understanding of false belief is one of the most important milestones in the development of social cognition in children. Many studies have been conducted on this kind of cognition in children with a typical development. Despite being a key point for improving their welfare and quality of life, there are few studies in children with Down's syndrome. The aim of the present work is to carry out an in-depth study of social cognition in children with Down's syndrome. For this purpose, we used 6 tasks, with 3 levels of difficulty, in a group of 9 children aged between 4 and 14 years. Six of these children had a genetic diagnosis of Down's syndrome. The results of our research corroborate previous studies suggesting difficulties in the development of social cognition in children with Down's syndrome, and more specifically in tasks involving false beliefs
