ABSTRACT
RESUMEN El herpes zóster es una afección infrecuente en lactantes, con una incidencia de 0,74/1 000 habitantes. Se produce por la reactivación del virus de la varicela zóster, tras una primoinfección por varicela. Puede ocurrir intraútero, por lo que resulta relevante conocer los antecedentes maternos. El diagnóstico es clínico y si se realiza de forma adecuada reduce el riesgo de complicaciones. El tratamiento en los niños es sintomático, porque su evolución es más favorable que en los adultos. Debido a la rareza de esta entidad, se presentan tres casos de herpes zóster en lactantes de 4, 6 y 11 meses de edad, que acudieron con lesiones y evolución típica de esta enfermedad al Hospital Pediátrico Provincial Docente Eliseo Noel Caamaño, de Matanzas, entre septiembre y octubre de 2017 (AU).
ABSTRACT Herpes zoster is an uncommon affection in infants, with an incidence of 0.74/1 000 inhabitants. It is produced by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, after a primary infection by varicella. This can occur inside the uterus, making it relevant to know maternal antecedents. The diagnosis is clinical, and if it is made in an appropriate way, reduces complication risk. The treatment in children is symptomatic because its evolution is more favorable than in adults. Due to the rareness of this entity, we present three cases of herpes zoster in nurslings aged 4, 6 and 11 moths who assisted the Teaching Pediatric Hospital Eliseo Noel Caamaño, of Matanzas, with lesions and typical evolution of this disease in the period September-October 2017 (AU).

Resumen La atención compartida se refiere a episodios en los que el niño y su cuidador están enfocados intencionalmente en algún objeto o actividad, presentando intercambios físicos y emocionales. En este estudio se describió la atención compartida considerando las dimensiones de nivel de compromiso y tono emocional, y se analizó su relación con la sensibilidad materna y la intensidad de la expresión emocional gestual de niños de un año de edad. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 12 díadas madre-hijo, donde se consideró como criterios de inclusión que los niños tuvieran entre 12 y 14 meses de edad, que fueran hijos únicos, que vivieran con ambos padres, y que asistieran a sala cuna. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la Evaluación de Atención Compartida, la Evaluación de la Expresión Emocional Gestual del Niño y la Escala de Sensibilidad del Adulto. Los resultados evidencian episodios de atención compartida en díadas madre-hijo al año de edad, además de una relación significativa entre atención compartida con el nivel de compromiso y la sensibilidad materna.
Resumo A atenção compartilhada refere-se a episódios nos quais a criança e seu cuidador estão focados intencionalmente em algum objeto ou atividade, apresentando trocas físicas e emocionais. Neste estudo, a atenção compartilhada foi descrita considerando as dimensões de nível de compromisso e tom emocional, e foi analisada sua relação com a sensibilidade materna e com a intensidade da expressão emocional gestual de crianças de um ano de idade. A amostra estava composta por 12 duplas mãe-filho, cujos critérios de inclusão eram que as crianças tivessem entre 12 e 14 meses de idade, que fossem filhos únicos, que vivessem com ambos os pais e que frequentassem o berçário. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Avaliação de Atenção Compartilhada, a Avaliação da Expressão Emocional Gestual da Criança e a Escala de Sensibilidade do Adulto. Os resultados evidenciam episódios de atenção compartilhada em duplas mãe-filho com um ano de idade, além de uma relação significativa entre atenção compartilhada com o nível de compromisso e a sensibilidade materna.
Abstract Shared attention refers to episodes through which a child and his or her caretaker are intentionally focused on some object or activity while engaging in physical and emotional exchange. This study describes shared attention bearing in mind levels of commitment and emotional tone, and it analyzes associated relationships with maternal sensitivity and the intensity of emotional expression in one-year-old children. The sample includes 12 mother-child dyads with the following inclusion criteria: only children, of ages between 12 and 14 months, living with both parents and attending a nursery. The instruments used were the Shared Attention Assessment, the Children's Emotional Expressions Assessment, and the Adult Sensitivity Scale (ASS). Results show episodes of shared attention between mother-child dyads at one year of age. A significant relationship between shared attention, levels of commitment, and maternal sensitivity was also found.

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Tocolytic drugs are used to suppress uterine contractions. The most widely used tocolytics in the Philippines are betamimetics, such as Terbutaline, which are known to have high incidence of maternal adverse effects. Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, is an alternative tocolytic with potentially similar efficacy and fewer maternal side effects than terbutaline.CONCLUSION: Terbutaline and Nifedipine appeared to be equally effective tocolytic agents. However, nifedipine had tile advantage of lesser incidence of maternal adverse effects.
