The biopsychosocial processes in autism spectrum disorder

Background: Autism is a disorder characterized by pervasive social and communicative impairments, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors and restricted interests. Its causes and effects have been researched from various neurocognitive theoretical perspectives and with the aid of neuroimaging technology. We aimed to describe biopsychosocial processes characteristic of the Autism Spectrum Disorders. Method: Literature review using Medline and Scopus databases published between 2001 and 2011, with the keywords "autism", "theory of mind", "executive functions", "central coherence" and “fMRI”. Results: The studies found were plotted and organized into tables and an explanatory diagram of the main findings was produced. Conclusions: The most popular neurocognitive theories are still unable to fully explain the characteristics of the complications that autistic spectrum disorder causes to the quality of life of individuals living with autism. The association of clinical research and neuroimaging may contribute to a better understanding of the functioning of the brain affected by the disorder.

Contato corporal entre adolescentes através da dança de salão na escola

The objective of this study was to identify the reaction and perception of adolescents in relation to body contact as well as emotional expressions through ballroom dancing. Forty-two adolescents from a public elementary school in the state of São Paulo participated in the study. Data gathering was conducted in groups by filming the ballroom dance class and applying a questionnaire about the experience. The dance experience was observed to provide greater body proximity and demonstration of affection, since part of the participants reported well-being, while others reported being embarrassed by dancing with a partner from the opposite sex. It was concluded that more dance activities related to biopsychosocial development need to be offered at school since ballroom dancing can help in interaction promoting body contact and thus facilitate in the process of interpersonal relations between adolescents.

LER/DORT: multifatorialidade etiológica e modelos explicativos

Parte-se de uma breve revisão bibliográfica sobre as LER/DORT (Lesões por Esforços Repetitivos/Doenças Osteomusculares Relacionadas ao Trabalho), analisando os fatores etiológicos envolvidos e os modelos explicativos vigentes. Discute-se a proposta de uma abordagem integradora de fatores biopsicossociais envolvidos na gênese e evolução das LER/DORT. Considera-se que a transição do estudo dos fatores isolados para a consideração de formas dinâmicas de interação desses fatores possibilitará a evolução da atual abordagem multidisciplinar para um modelo transdisciplinar.
