IV Congreso de la Asociación Internacional de Educadores de jóvenes inadaptados.

El IV Congreso de la Asociación Internacional de Educadores de jóvenes, tuvo lugar en Beaulieu de Lausanne. Las dos ponencias centrales fueron: La formación del educador de jóvenes inadaptados en ejercicio, de Ernst Papanek, director de la Wiltwyck School for Boys, de Nueva York; y Criterios de mantenimiento del joven inadaptado en su medio familiar, de la Directora adjunta del Centro de Observación Le Bercail de Lausanne, la señorita Nanon de Rham. De la primera ponencia se destacan los puntos: si existe un denominador común para todos los centros de reeducación, la elección del profesorado y los métodos de formación. En cuanto a la segunda ponencia, los contenidos principales son: internado y educación familiar posterior, complejidad y evolución del inadaptado, dificultades de la educación familiar del inadaptado e información al gran público. También se realiza una breva referencia a los trabajos prácticos puestos de manifiesto en este congreso.

Consulta de enfermagem ao portador de Hanseníase: proposta de um instrumento para aplicação do processo de enfermagem.

This study aimed at reporting the experience of nursing consultation for leprosy patients performed at a university primary health care unit in inner São Paulo state as well as at presenting the instrument used. This activity is performed by two nurses who have worked in the program for over two decades and have thus become experienced in providing care to this type of patient. The effectiveness of instruments is evaluated as concerns form and content, thus enabling the assessment of actual health care needs based on an expanded analysis of the health-disease process. With this proposal, it is expected that nurses' action will be facilitated in the implementation of procedures aiming at comprehensive care.

Significant Artifact Reduction at 1.5T and 3T MRI by the Use of a Cochlear Implant with Removable Magnet: An Experimental Human Cadaver Study

OBJECTIVE Cochlear implants (CIs) are standard treatment for postlingually deafened individuals and prelingually deafened children. This human cadaver study evaluated diagnostic usefulness, image quality and artifacts in 1.5T and 3T magnetic resonance (MR) brain scans after CI with a removable magnet. METHODS Three criteria (diagnostic usefulness, image quality, artifacts) were assessed at 1.5T and 3T in five cadaver heads with CI. The brain magnetic resonance scans were performed with and without the magnet in situ. The criteria were analyzed by two blinded neuroradiologists, with focus on image distortion and limitation of the diagnostic value of the acquired MR images. RESULTS MR images with the magnet in situ were all compromised by artifacts caused by the CI. After removal of the magnet, MR scans showed an unequivocal artifact reduction with significant improvement of the image quality and diagnostic usefulness, both at 1.5T and 3T. Visibility of the brain stem, cerebellopontine angle, and parieto-occipital lobe ipsilateral to the CI increased significantly after magnet removal. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate the possible advantages for 1.5T and 3T MR scanning of the brain in CI carriers with removable magnets. Our findings support use of CIs with removable magnets, especially in patients with chronic intracranial pathologies.
