RESUMO
RESUMEN El objetivo principal de esta investigación es describir los déficits ejecutivos de los niños/as que presentan dificultades de aprendizaje en el área de matemáticas y su relación con las percepciones paternas. Se estudió una muestra de 30 niños con dificultades en el área de matemáticas en edades comprendidas entre los 9 y 12 años, a los cuales se les aplicó la Torre de Londres, y a los padres, el Inventario Infantil de Funciones Ejecutivas (CHEXI). De acuerdo a las pruebas aplicadas, los resultados mostraron déficit en memoria de trabajo, planificación, regulación e inhibición. Los resultados muestran que no existe correlación entre los déficits ejecutivos evidenciados en los niños y la percepción de los padres. Sin embargo, existe relación positiva entre la percepción de los padres en el área de memoria de trabajo y el bajo rendimiento académico. Los resultados se discuten por la complejidad del constructo evaluado y las múltiples variables que intervienen al momento de su valoración clínica.
ABSTRACT The main objective of this research is to describe the executive deficits of children with learning difficulties in mathematics and their relationship with parental perceptions. A sample of 30 children with difficulties in mathematics at ages between 9 and 12 years was studied, they underwent Tower of London test, and to the parents the Children's Inventory of Executive Functions (CHEXI) was studied. According to the applied tests, the results showed difficulties in working memory, planning, regulation and inhibition. The results showed no correlation between the executive deficits evidenced in children and the perception of parents. However, there is a positive relationship between the perception of parents in the area of working memory and poor academic performance. The results are discussed by the complexity of the evaluated construct and the multiple variables involved at the time of its clinical assessment.
RESUMO
Kidney biopsies were performed in two women during their 21st and 24th week of pregnancy. The first patient developed an abrupt nephrotic syndrome without hypertension or kidney failure. The pathological study disclosed diffuse podocyte alterations such as those observed in focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, which had a good response to steroidal treatment. The second patient had a progressive renal failure associated with non-nephrotic proteinuria. The biopsy disclosed a fibrillary glomerulopathy.
