Uma das formas de atividade física que tem revelado expressivos resultados na mediação comportamental e cognitiva são as Artes Marciais (AM). Dentre elas, o Jiu-Jitsu Brasileiro ou BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) tem se mostrado cada vez mais popular entre jovens de idade escolar, no entatanto nenhum estudo sobre os seus efeitos nas Funções Executivas (FE) foi encontrado. O objetivo desse estudo foi primeiramente, encontrar diferenças nas FE com a pratica do BJJ; secundariamente, pretendeu-se observar o tipo de correlação entre as FE e os niveis de participação; e por fim posicionar os resultados deste estudo a outros trabalhos similares da literatura científica. O estudo avaliou 125 alunos de uma escola pública de Abu Dhabi, antes e após 6 meses de prática, através de um modelo não randomizado. Após todas as exclusões, 59 alunos foram separados em 3 niveis de participação e correlacionados com os resultados do teste de Stroop (VST - Victoria Stroop Test). Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que 30 sessões de BJJ, foram suficientes para oferecer significativas diferenças no Controle Inibitório (CI). Sua boa participação (2 a 3 vezes por semana), não somente mostrou grande tamanho de efeito (SE) comparado a baixa e media participação, como maiores SE comparado a outras formas de Atividade Fisica e Artes Marciais Tradicionais como o Tae Kwon Do e Wu Shu (Kung Fu). Com uma moderada correlação, sua participação apontou uma capacidade de influenciar em 20,8% o (CI) sobre atividades automáticas, bem como 27,3% a distração sobre atividades irrelevantes. Esses achados sugerem que a pratica do BJJ possa levar a melhoras nas Funções Executivas de pré-adolescentes nativos dos Emirados Arabes Unidos.

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la existencia de la relación entre la atrofia cortical difusa objetivada por neuroimagenes cerebrales y desempeños cognitivos determinados mediante la aplicación de pruebas neuropsicológicas que evalúan memoria de trabajo, razonamiento simbólico verbal y memoria anterógrada declarativa. Participaron 114 sujetos reclutados en el Hospital Universitario Mayor Méderi de la ciudad de Bogotá mediante muestreo de conveniencia. Los resultados arrojaron diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos (pacientes con diagnóstico de atrofia cortical difusa y pacientes con neuroimagenes interpretadas como dentro de los límites normales) en todas las pruebas neuropsicológicas aplicadas. Respecto a las variables demográficas se pudo observar que el grado de escolaridad contribuye como factor neuroprotector de un posible deterioro cognitivo. Tales hallazgos son importantes para determinar protocoles tempranos de detección de posible instalación de enfermedades neurodegenerativas primarias.

Nos últimos anos, o conceito de Comprometimento Cognitivo Leve (CCL) em idosos tem sido um tópico muito presente na literatura sobre envelhecimento e demência. Esta condição refere-se a idosos que têm algum grau de perda cognitiva quando comparados a pessoas normais da mesma faixa etária, mas que não preenchem critérios para demência. A importância do tema se justifica pela possibilidade de se determinar marcadores que possam sinalizar o grupo de indivíduos que evoluirá para um quadro demêncial, e também pela perspectiva de intervenção neste grupo visando impedir este desfecho. O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar os usuários da unidade de saúde PSF Monte Sol (Marfel) com problemas de memória, cognição, dependência funcional e alterações nas atividades de vida diária (AVDs) e atividades instrumentais de vida diária (AIVDs), e como essas alterações podem acarretar em suas comorbidades e qualidade de vida.

Seizures happen for brief periods of time, but the feelings of anxiety and helplessness, adaptation to the restrictions impose by the life-style and variety of other problems affect more the quality of life in epilepsy. This study proposes a protocol that regards the objectives of a quality of life assessment in health and is applied to a population that attends a university hospital. It contains 65 items and assesses the psychosocial performance, physical limitation, cognitive aspects, perception of control, self-concept, as well as perception of health and quality of life. The results of reliability and validity are discussed.

The objectives were to identify factors associated with decreased life satisfaction in community-dwelling elderly and describe such factors according to gender and age bracket. The study interviewed 2,472 elderly individuals 65 years or older without cognitive deficits suggestive of dementia, in probabilistic samples from seven Brazilian cities. All measures were self-reported except for functional performance, indicated by handgrip and gait speed. Women had more chronic diseases, worse functional performance, and greater social involvement when compared to men. The oldest participants showed worse functional performance and less social involvement when compared to the youngest. Low satisfaction was associated with three or more diseases, memory problems, low social involvement, low handgrip strength, and urinary incontinence. The authors conclude that health, functional performance, and social involvement interact with well-being, so interventions targeting these areas can favor quality of life for the elderly.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the impact that trochanteric hip fractures produce on life quality of elderly patients, treated surgically, during one year of monitoring. METHODS: Were selected 73 elderly with transtrochanteric femur fracture, aged equal or over than 65 years and of both sexes. All participants underwent a standardized questionnaire which obtained information on lifestyle habits, functionality, physical activity, ambulation and cognitive state. Were excluded patients who died, not walking, with neurological diseases and pathological fractures. RESULTS: The average age was 80.17 ± 7.2 years and 75% was female. When comparing the summation of activities of daily living (p = 0.04) and instrumental daily living (p = 0.004) obtained before and after fracture, the patients become more dependent after fracture. Activities of daily living that worsened after fracture were bathing (p = 0.04), toileting (p = 0.02) and dressing (p = 0.04). All instrumental activities of daily living showed a significant difference, with functional dependence after fracture, increased need for walking aid (p = 0.00002), aged (p = 0.01) and not doing housework (p = 0.01). The low score on the test Minimental was associated with a greater dependence to perform activities of daily living before (p = 0.00002) and after (p = 0.01) fracture. CONCLUSION: After a year, activities of daily living that depended on the lower limbs worsened significantly, all instrumental activities of daily living were significantly worse in more than 50% of patients and more than half of patients who walked without support lost this ability.

This article has the aim to expand the perspective of research in the field of morality. We present a proposal of morality study of outlaw teenagers according to Thinking Organizer Models Theory. Through the idea of complexity we search to understand the cognitive process in the elaboration of moral reasoning inside situations of conflict. With this perspective, we developed a research that aimed to identify which organizer models were applied by 20 outlaw male teenagers who abide by social punishment to solve the hypothetical moral conflicts. Through interviews we told them a situation of moral conflict that involved friendship relation, physical aggression and steal. We could identified several models which were joined in three categories. Such models reflected the diversity and regularity that are present inside the elaborated reasoning to solve the conflicts shown by us. We conclude that the diversity of organizer models identified shows the importance of the contents in the construction of moral reasoning.

OBJECTIVE: Despite the relevance of irritability emotions to the treatment, prognosis and classification of psychiatric disorders, the neurobiological basis of this emotional state has been rarely investigated to date. We assessed the brain circuitry underlying personal script-driven irritability in healthy subjects (n = 11) using functional magnetic resonance imaging. METHOD: Blood oxygen level-dependent signal changes were recorded during auditory presentation of personal scripts of irritability in contrast to scripts of happiness or neutral emotional content. Self-rated emotional measurements and skin conductance recordings were also obtained. Images were acquired using a 1,5T magnetic resonance scanner. Brain activation maps were constructed from individual images, and between-condition differences in the mean power of experimental response were identified by using cluster-wise nonparametric tests. RESULTS: Compared to neutral scripts, increased blood oxygen level-dependent signal during irritability scripts was detected in the left subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, and in the left medial, anterolateral and posterolateral dorsal prefrontal cortex (cluster-wise p-value < 0.05). While the involvement of the subgenual cingulate and dorsal anterolateral prefrontal cortices was unique to the irritability state, increased blood oxygen level-dependent signal in dorsomedial and dorsal posterolateral prefrontal regions were also present during happiness induction. CONCLUSION: Irritability induction is associated with functional changes in a limited set of brain regions previously implicated in the mediation of emotional states. Changes in prefrontal and cingulate areas may be related to effortful cognitive control aspects that gain salience during the emergence of irritability.
