Comparação do desenvolvimento neurológico entre os gêneros em alunos ingressantes no ensino fundamental em uma escola municipal em Bauru

Human beings' motor capacity development is essential, because it facilitates movement, enabling the performance of motor activities and others. In pre-school, boys and girls acquire the motor capacity development considered basic that, through several factors such as neurological maturation, which is in charge of providing more complete movements, and body growth, which has the goal of a better body domain, makes them improve individually the performance of motor abilities, but it can minimize them if laterality does not develop spontaneously. There by, this study focused on assessing the neurological development between genders of students engaging in fundamental school. Forty-three children of both genders at age six took part in this study. The evaluation occurred through the LEFÉVRE protocol (1976), which aims at assessing the maturity and development of the Nervous System through tests of the Evolutionary Neurological Exam (ENE), which comprises a series of tests involving specific tasks, regarding age in the static balance items, dynamic balance, appendicular coordination, trunk-member coordination, motor persistency, sensibility and synkinesis. Neurological development comparisons were performed between boys and girls for each item of the battery of tests. The results of the motor persistency and sensitiveness and sensorial activity tests were below the average for six-year-old children, but there was not any difference in gender comparison for each item of the battery of tests, only a small tendency for one of the genders, but meaningless, having a variance in only two tests of the synkinesis exam (Foot-hand and paper ball with the dominant hand), in which boys had a bigger percentage of synkinesis presence than girls did. The results also showed that the majority of the children assessed, both boys and girls have a right manual and pedal preference and the ocular laterality is approximately the same for left and right-handers. It was..

Padrões intergeracionais de violência familiar associada ao abuso de bebidas alcoólicas: um estudo baseado em genogramas

The objective of this study was to analyze intergenerational patterns of alcohol related violence (ARV). An intentional sample comprising 42 family members was selected according to a set of criteria, including history of ARV. A genogram based on anonymous semi-structured taped interviews was created. The Content Analysis pointed to different patterns of repetition of intergenerational ARV. The most recurrent ones were those of lineal consanguinity (father/son) and through marriage. We observed similarities over the generations of each family as regards the pattern of alcohol consumption; the type of violence; the family reaction and the family life cycle in which ARV was intensified. Our results confirm the intergenerational reproduction of ARV. In conclusion, it is important to create intervention strategies to prevent intergenerational repetition of this association of behaviors.

Análise do potencial de micro-organismos dos gêneros Lectthophora e Cryptococcus para a produção de biocumbustíveis

A busca de novas fontes de energia tem sido estimulada pela demanda crescente do mercado e o bioetanol é uma alternativa promissora para esta questão. A produção de etanol a partir de resíduos agroindustriais lignocelulósicos está sendo pesquisada em vários laboratórios do Brasil e do exterior. Os resíduos da agroindústria são formados, em grande parte, por fibra vegetal lignocelulósica, a qual é altamente resistente à degradação, dificultando a conversão dos componentes a monossacarídeos fermentescíveis. Desta forma, a prospecção de micro-organismos que viabilizem a conversão de material lignocelulósico em etanol tem aumentado consideravelmente. Sendo assim, o estudo de micro-organismos associados às formigas cortadeiras, os quais são adaptados ao uso da biomassa lignocelulolítica, pode ser promissor para a descoberta de enzimas adequadas à degradação eficiente da fibra vegetal, podendo significar um passo adiante na produção do etanol de segunda geração. Neste trabalho analisamos a ação hidrolítica e a liberação de açúcares fermentescíveis por fungos dimórficos do gênero Lecythophora e de leveduras do gênero Cryptococcus sobre o material lignocelulósico. A metodologia empregada consistiu na inoculação das linhagens em diferentes resíduos da agroindústria, como bagaço de cana-de-açúcar, casca de café, casca de arroz e sabugo de milho triturado, seguida da quantificação dos açúcares redutores liberados, bem como da produção de enzimas hidrolíticas extracelulares, como endoamilase, exoamilase, pectinase, endoglucanase, exoglucanase e xilanase. O gênero Lecythophora mostrou-se melhor produtor enzimático quando comparado com o gênero Cryptococcus, ambos em meio suplementado com bagaço de cana-de-açúcar. Ainda, foi realizado o inóculo de culturas mistas das melhores linhagens pertencentes ao gênero Lecythophora. A produção enzimática constatada indicou o potencial das linhagens...

Intervenções com a atividade física em crianças e adolescentes com deficiência intelectual: uma meta-análise

Abstract Intellectual disability is development atypical conditions that involve issues on a number of factors, such as intellectual skills, adaptive behavior, interactions and social roles. Furthermore, they report higher rates of physical inactivity than the general population, as well as participating less and less of regular physical activity, as they grow and age. The participation of people with intellectual disabilities in physical activity programs promotes, benefits of prevention of diseases, particularly cardiovascular, improvement of intellectual and cognitive ability in addition, regular physical activity promotes reduction of body fat. Therefore the aim of this study was to identify through a systematic review, physical activity programs for adults with intellectual disabilities and their extension of the benefits, limitations and recommendations, moreover, the following objectives: to analyze the types of physical activity programs and determine which is the most suitable for adults with intellectual disabilities, and to determine the benefits that physical exercises programs entail for adults with intellectual disabilities. The initial electronic search resulted in 2808 manuscripts. The predetermined exclusion criteria were: review process of the studies involved reading titles, abstracts and full texts checking. After all these phases, eight manuscripts met the inclusion criteria of the review. Articles presented participants aged between 18 and 67 years with mild to moderate intellectual disability. The intervention period was from 2.5 months studies ranged up to 9 months and the weekly frequency was from one to three times a week. The intervention types differ between the articles analyzed, including leisure and recreation activities, combined exercises of strength and muscular endurance, aerobic activities of hiking, with races and exercise bikes, widespread activities and sports specialization, athletics and...

Estudo clínico comparativo da manutenção do aprofundamento de sulco nas vestibuloplastias mandibulares, através das técnicas de tuneilização submucosa e epitelização secundária

For some time, oral surgeons have tried several surgical procedures to improve the alveolar ridge for prosthetic appliance construction. The techniques used for this purpose are divided into four groups: submucosal vestibuloplasty; secondary epithelization; soft tissue grafting and transpositional flaps. Twenty patients who had problems to wear dentures due to unsatisfactory retention and stability were selected at the Oral and MaxilloFacial Surgery and Traumatology Clinic of Dental School of São José dos Campos. They were divided in two groups and operated by submucosal vestibuloplasty using stents and secondary epithelization vestibuloplasty by Clark's technique and were evaluated twelve months after operations in relationship of the sulcus depth. The results were obtained by clinical and radiological examination before and after surgery, and they are similar to those found in the literature reaching satisfactory functional judgement

Condições de saúde bucal de crianças e adolescentes portadores de síndrome de Down

Patients with Down syndrome have shown different conditions of oral health, and there is a low occurrence of dental caries and a higher susceptibility to periodontal diseases. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries and periodontal diseases in subjects with Down syndrome. The population was composed of 40 patients with the syndrome, aged 6 to 18 years, of both genders, and an equal number of non-syndromic patients. The periodontal conditions were evaluated by mean of the criteria of PSR and dental conditions were registered following indexes dmft and DMFT. It was found that in children with Down syndrome, the dmft index was 1.17 and DMFT 3.53 while the control group was verified dmft 1.97 and DMFT 2.77. The results of PSR evidenced that 32.5% of children with Down syndrome were periodontally healthy, 65% were gingivitis patients and 2.5% were periodontitis patients, while in the control group, 50% healthy and 50% were gingivitis patients. The results evidenced similar populations of cariogenic cocci between patients with Down syndrome and non-syndromic subjects. It was concluded that the incidence of caries in children with Down syndrome was higher in permanent teeth compared with the control group, while in the occurrence of deciduous teeth caries was slightly higher in the control group, so when children with Down syndrome are subjected to periodic examinations, they present themselves periodontally healthy.

Condições bucais de crianças e adolescentes portadores de síndrome de down

Os pacientes com síndrome de Down têm mostrado diferentes condições de saúde bucal, destacando-se uma baixa ocorrência de cárie e maior suscetibilidade às doenças periodontais. Assim, o presente estudo objetivou avaliar a prevalência de cárie, patologias periodontais e níveis de cocos cariogênicos em portadores de Síndrome de Down. A população foi constituída de 40 pacientes portadores da síndrome, com idade de 6 a 18 anos, de ambos os gêneros, e igual número de pacientes do grupo controle, os quais foram submetidos ao exame clínico periodontal segundo os critérios do PSR e para determinação do índice de cárie empregando-se os índices ceo-d e CPOD, e avaliação dos níveis de cocos cariogênicos através do real-time PCR. Verificou-se que nas crianças com síndrome de Down o índice médio ceo-d foi 1,17 e o CPO-D 3,53 enquanto que no grupo controle foi observado ceo-d 1,97 e o CPO-D 2,77. Verificou-se que 32,5% das crianças com síndrome de Down eram saudáveis, 65% com gengivite e 2,5% com periodontite e, no grupo controle, 50% foram saudáveis e 50% mostraram gengivite. Os resultados evidenciaram que a população de cocos cariogênicos foi similar entre pacientes portadores ou não de síndrome de Down. Concluiu-se que a ocorrência de cárie em crianças com síndrome de Down foi maior nos dentes permanentes comparadas com o grupo controle, enquanto que na dentição decídua a ocorrência de cárie foi maior no grupo controle, enquanto que as condições periodontais foram semelhantes entre os dois grupos.

Diferenças no desenvolvimento de meninos e meninas em condição de risco

This study aimed to evaluate the development of infants aged between 30 and 59 days, who presented some kind of risk factor threatening their development. Participated in the project 82 children, being 42 boys and 40 girls, presenting the following risk conditions: low birth weight, preterm birth or children of adolescent mothers. The protocol "Stimulation for kids" from "The Operationalized Portage Inventory" was administered. The girls presented a better performance in all conditions, however, no significant differences between genders were observed among the adolescent mothers' children. These results are consistent with those described in the literature and they indicate that the male population is more vulnerable to developmental damage. Public policies regarding early intervention to minimize the likelihood of future cognitive difficulties and consequently its impact in such population are essential.
