ABSTRACT
RESUMO: Este artigo explora as texturas táteis que têm sido utilizadas na confecção de mapas e imagens temáticas para crianças com deficiência visual no Chile nos últimos 20 anos. De um grupo representativo composto por mais de 300 lâminas de conteúdo educacional inclusivo, foram selecionadas 14 texturas para identificar sua natureza, propriedades psicofísicas e características morfológicas a partir de sua composição geométrica. O objetivo foi gerar as bases teóricas e tecnológicas relacionadas ao design e à produção digital de mapas, imagens e gráficos táteis. O trabalho buscou tipificar as formas de relevo e suas possíveis aplicações pelo uso de padrões de repetição que permitam melhorar a linguagem e o reconhecimento das texturas envolvidas com o intuito de expandir e diversificar seu uso em material educativo inclusivo no ensino e na disseminação do conhecimento por meio do toque.
ABSTRACT: This article explores the textures that have been used in the development of thematic maps and images for children with visual impairment in Chile over the last 20 years. From a representative group of more than 300 sheets of inclusive educational content, 14 textures were selected to identify their nature, psychophysical properties and morphological characteristics based on their geometric composition. The aim was to generate the theoretical and technological grounds related to the design and digital production of tactile maps, images, and graphics. The work sought to typify the embossed shapes and their possible applications by using repetition patterns that allow to improve the language and recognition of the textures involved, with the intention of expanding and diversifying their use in inclusive educational material in the teaching and dissemination of knowledge through tact.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Determinar los casos de liquen plano en edades pediátricas que acudieron al servicio de Dermatología del Hospital Universitario de Caracas entre 1989 y 2003. Métodos: Estudio analítico retrospectivo clínico de una muestra de pacientes pediátricos con diagnóstico de liquen plano a partir de los archivos del laboratorio de histopatología. Las variables analizadas fueron edad, sexo, diagnóstico clínico, distribución y morfología de las lesiones, y evolución. Resultados: Se encontró un total de 58 casos de liquen plano en niños entre 18 meses y 12 años. Hubo un predominio del sexo femenino (58%). La edad promedio de presentación fue de ocho años. La mayoría de los pacientes presentó la variante de liquen plano clásico. La localización más común fue en los miembros inferiores. Sólo en un caso se observó compromiso mucoso. Conclusiones: Las características halladas en los pacientes estudiados concuerdan en forma general con lo reportado en la literatura (AU)
Objective:To identify cases of lichen planus in pediatric patients who attended the service of Dermatology at Hospital Universitario de Caracas from 1989 to 2003. Methods: A retrospective analytic study of a sample of pediatric patients with a diagnosis of lichen planus from the archives of the histopathology.The variables studied were age, sex, clinical diagnosis, distribution and morphology of lesions, and evolution. Results:We found a total of 58 cases of lichen planus in children between 18 months and 12 years of age. There was a predominance of females (58%).The average age of presentation was eight years. Most of the patients had classical lichen planus.The most common location was on the lower limbs. Mucosal involvement was observed in only one case. Conclusions:The features found in the patients studied where consistent with those previously reported in the literature (AU)
