RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To verify the auditory selective attention in children with stroke. METHODS: Dichotic tests of binaural separation (non-verbal and consonant-vowel) and binaural integration - digits and Staggered Spondaic Words Test (SSW) - were applied in 13 children (7 boys), from 7 to 16 years, with unilateral stroke confirmed by neurological examination and neuroimaging. RESULTS: The attention performance showed significant differences in comparison to the control group in both kinds of tests. In the non-verbal test, identifications the ear opposite the lesion in the free recall stage was diminished and, in the following stages, a difficulty in directing attention was detected. In the consonant- vowel test, a modification in perceptual asymmetry and difficulty in focusing in the attended stages was found. In the digits and SSW tests, ipsilateral, contralateral and bilateral deficits were detected, depending on the characteristics of the lesions and demand of the task. CONCLUSION: Stroke caused auditory attention deficits when dealing with simultaneous sources of auditory information.


OBJETIVO: Verificar a habilidade de atenção seletiva em crianças com acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). MÉTODOS: Foram aplicados testes dicóticos de separação (não verbal e consoante-vogal) e integração - dígitos e Staggered Spondaic Words Test (SSW) - binaural em 13 crianças (7 meninos), entre 7 e 16 anos, com AVC unilateral confirmado por neuroimagem. RESULTADOS: O desempenho atencional diferiu entre os grupos na realização de ambos os tipos de tarefa. Ao teste não verbal, houve menor quantidade de identificações com a orelha contralateral à lesão em atenção livre e dificuldade de focalizar a atenção nas etapas direcionadas. No teste consoante-vogal, houve modificação da assimetria perceptual e dificuldade de focalizar a atenção nas etapas direcionadas. Nos testes de dígitos e SSW, foram constatados défices ipsilaterais, contralaterais e bilaterais dependendo das características da lesão e da demanda da tarefa. CONCLUSÃO: As crianças com AVC apresentaram défices na habilidade de atenção seletiva em presença de fontes simultâneas de informação auditiva verbal e não verbal.

RESUMEN

This study investigated possible prenatal and neonatal variables that may influence the prevalence of tooth enamel hypoplasia in preterm and low birth weight children (LBW) and a matched control group of term children with normal birth weight (NBW). The study sample consisted of 61 children born preterm and with LBW examined at 18-34 months of age. The control group was formed by 61 infants born full term and with NBW examined at 31-35 months of age. All children were born at the Center of Integrated Attention of Women's Health (CAISM-UNICAMP). FDI criteria were followed for dental examination. Medical data was collected retrospectively from hospital records. Among preterms, 57.4 percent had some type of developmental defects of enamel (DDE), 52.5 percent had opacities and 21.3 percent presented hypoplasia. Among full-term children, 24.6 percent presented DDE, 24.6 percent had opacities and 3.3 percent had hypoplasia. LBW preterm infants presented a higher prevalence of hypoplasia than NBW controls. The deciduous teeth most affected by hypoplasia were maxillary incisors. There was no significant association with prenatal variables; among neonatal variables there was a significant association with respiratory distress syndrome and neurological examination at discharge with an altered result.

RESUMEN

TEMA: na infância a doença cerebrovascular (DCV) constitui condição rara em que a evolução a curto, médio e longo prazo tem merecido esclarecimentos. Neste sentido, a aplicação de técnicas comportamentais pode possibilitar melhor caracterização clínica, visando o planejamento e controle terapêutico eficientes. OBJETIVO: descrever em uma criança com DCV as manifestações audiológicas em dois momentos distintos da evolução clínica. MÉTODO: a criança, com diagnóstico comprovado de episódio único e unilateral de DCV, apresentando habilidades de linguagem e cognição satisfatórias, foi submetida a conjunto de testes convencionais e de processamento auditivo, incluindo a avaliação simplificada e as categorias de testes monóticos, dicóticos e de processamento temporal. Os dados obtidos foram pareados com criança normal destra, de mesmo sexo, idade e nível sócio-cultural. RESULTADOS: foi constatado comprometimento nas habilidades de memória auditiva e atenção seletiva em tarefas de integração e separação binaural para estímulos verbais e não-verbais. CONCLUSÃO: a evolução, embora favorável, se mostrou abaixo do esperado para a idade, quando comparado com seu par. A avaliação prospectiva da criança acometida por DCV possibilitou caracterizar o comportamento auditivo, definir seus parâmetros e a evolução do quadro audiológico.


BACKGROUND: cerebrovascular disease (CVD) during childhood is a rare condition; its short, medium and long-term characteristics deserve further investigation. The application of behavioral techniques may improve clinical characterization, thus rendering more efficient therapeutic planning and control. AIM: to describe the audiological manifestations in a child with CVD in two distinct moments of clinical follow-up. METHOD: the child, with a confirmed diagnosis of a single and unilateral episode of CVD, presenting satisfactory cognition and language skills, was submitted to a battery of conventional and auditory processing tests, which included a simplified evaluation as well as monotic, dichotic, and temporal processing tests. The obtained data was paired with those of a normal right-handed child, of the same gender, age and socio-cultural level. RESULTS: results indicate impairments in auditory memory as well as in selective attention during binaural separation and integration tasks for verbal and non-verbal stimuli. CONCLUSION: clinical development, although favorable, was below the average expected for the same age when compared to the control. The prospective evaluation of a child with DCV permitted the characterization of the auditory behavior, the definition of its parameters as well as the development of the audiological characteristics.

RESUMEN

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar e comparar o neurodesenvolvimento de lactentes nascidos a termo, com peso adequado (AIG) ou pequeno para a idade gestacional (PIG), no 2° mês de vida. Avaliaram-se 67 lactentes: 43 AIG e 24 PIG, utilizando as Bayley Scales of Infant Development. O Index Score (IS) nas Escalas Mental e Motora foi significativamente menor no grupo PIG. Considerando a proporcionalidade corporal (Grupos Controle, Assimétrico e PIG-Simétrico), houve diferença significativa na Escala Motora (p=0,003), com menores pontuações no grupo PIG-Simétrico. Comparados aos percentis de IS do grupo Controle, na Escala Mental, houve diferença entre os grupos Assimétrico X PIG-Simétrico; na Escala Motora, houve diferença entre os grupos Assimétrico X Controle (p=0,039) e PIG-Simétrico X Controle (p=0,0007); não houve diferença entre os grupos Assimétrico e PIG-Simétrico, ambos apresentando menores pontuações que o grupo Controle.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this paper, which was conducted on 175 children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (H-CP), was to verify the etiological risk period for this disease. Etiological risk factors (ERF) were detected through anamnesis: 23 percent in the prenatal period, 18 percent in the perinatal period and 59 percent of the patients the period was undefined (ERF in the prenatal and perinatal period was 41 percent and no ERF was 18 percent of the cases. The computerized tomographic scan (CT) and MRI were performed on all the patients, who were then classified according to their etiopathogenic data: CT1= normal (18 percent); CT 2= unilateral ventricular enlargement (25 percent); CT 3= cortical/ subcortical cavities (28 percent); CT4= hemispheric atrophy and other findings (14 percent); CT 5= malformations (15 percent). CT 5 was associated with physical malformations beyond the central nervous system and with prenatal ERF's , while CT 2 was associated with the perinatal ERF's, mainly in premature births. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed on 57 patients and demonstrated a good degree of concordance with the CT. Etiology remained undefined in only 37 percent of the cases after neuroimaging was related to ERF. A high perinatal RF frequency (59 percent) was observed and emphasized the need for special care during this period
