RESUMO

As queimaduras provocam efeitos físicos e psicológicos devastadores nos indivíduos, sobretudo em crianças e adolescentes, e podem modificar a qualidade de vida da pessoa. O objetivo foi analisar o impacto das cicatrizes por queimaduras em crianças menores de oito anos na interação com amigos, família e escola, na perspectiva dos pais. Estudo quantitativo de corte transversal realizado com os pais de crianças <8 anos de idade, vítimas de queimaduras e internadas em um Centro de Tratamento de Queimados no norte do Paraná e acompanhadas ambulatorialmente, de 2017 a 2020. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de dois instrumentos: caracterização sociodemográfica e clínica; e Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profile. Realizou-se análise descritiva e teste Qui-quadrado utilizando-se o SPSS®. Participaram 34 pais cujas crianças sofreram queimaduras, sendo 52,9% de 1 a 3 anos de idade, 58,8% sexo masculino, 82,2% por agente etiológico térmico e a internação foi de 73,5% devido à Superfície Corpórea Queimada ≤20%. Após a alta os pais identificaram que as cicatrizes de queimaduras tinham "um pouco" e "pouco" impacto nas cicatrizes nas relações de amizade e na interação social. Para os pais, prevaleceu a resposta "nada" de impacto, seguido por "um pouco" e "muito" na escola, nas brincadeiras, nos jogos e nas atividades diárias. Quanto às reações emocionais e ao humor, a maior parte dos pais considerou "nada". Nesse sentido, os pais responderam às questões quanto à própria percepção sobre as atividades diárias do seu filho e, em geral, a cicatriz de queimadura não impactou na qualidade de vida da criança.

Burns cause devastating physical and psychological effects on individuals, especially children and adolescents, and can change a person's quality of life. The objective was to analyze the impact of burn scars in children under eight years of age in the interaction with friends, family and school, from the parents' perspective. Quantitative cross-sectional study carried out with the parents of children <8 years old who were victims of burns and admitted to a Burn Treatment Center in northern Paraná and monitored on an outpatient basis, from 2017 to 2020. Data collection occurred using two instruments: sociodemographic and clinical characterization; Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profile. Descriptive analysis and Chi-square test were performed using SPSS®. 34 parents participated whose children suffered burns, 52.9% aged 1 to 3 years old, 58.8% male, 82.2% due to thermal etiological agent and 73.5% hospitalization was due to Burned Body Surface ≤ 20%. After discharge, the parents identified that the burn scars had "a little" and "little" impact on the scars in friendship relationships and social interaction. For parents, the answer "nothing" of impact prevailed, followed by "a little" and "a lot" in school, play, games and daily activities. As for emotional reactions and mood, most parents considered "nothing" that impacted the child with burn scars. In this sense, parents answered questions regarding their own perception of their child's daily activities and, in general, the burn scar did not impact the child's quality of life.

RESUMO

Evidence suggests that maternal metabolome may be associated with child health outcomes. We analyzed the association between the maternal metabolome between 28-35 gestational weeks and child growth and development during the first year. A prospective cohort of 98 mother-child dyads was followed at birth, 1, 6, and 12 months. Maternal serum samples were collected for targeted LC-MS/MS analysis, which measured 132 metabolites. The child's growth and development were assessed at each time-point. Z-scores were calculated based on WHO growth standards, and the domains of development were assessed using the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3). Multiple linear mixed-effects models were performed and confounders were identified using a Diagram Acyclic Graph. The Benjamini-Hochberg correction was used for multiple comparison adjustments. We found a positive association between lysophosphatidylcholines (14:0; 16:0; 16:1; 17:0; 18:0; 18:1; 18:2; 20:4) with the z-score of weight-for-age, and lysophosphatidylcholines (14:0; 16:0; 16:1; 18:0) and taurine with the z-score of weight-for-length, and lysophosphatidylcholines (14:0; 16:0; 16:1; 17:0; 18:0; 18:1; 18:2; 20:4) and glycine with the z-score of BMI-for-age. The leucine, methionine, tryptophan, and valine were negatively associated with the fine motor skills domain. We observed an association between maternal metabolome and the growth and child's development throughout the first year.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Participation of children with disabilities is an indicator of social inclusion, health, and well-being, and its evaluation needs to be included in the clinical practice of rehabilitation professionals. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the measurement properties of the Participation and Environment Measure - Children and Youth Brazilian version (PEM-CY Brazil). METHODS: We used the PEM-CY to evaluate participation and environment of children with and without disabilities in the home, school, and community settings. Based on COSMIN guidelines, we analyzed two measurement properties: internal consistency for all domains using Cronbach's alpha; and construct (known-groups) validity, i.e., the degree to which instrument scores identify differences between groups. T-tests, Mann-Whitney, or Chi-square tests compared children with and without disabilities. RESULTS: 101 Brazilian children (mean age=9.31 years) with (n = 62) and without (n = 39) disabilities were included. Internal consistency ranged from appropriate (0.70) to excellent (0.95) for all domains in all settings, except for Resources in the environment of the home setting (0.53). Regarding construct validity, PEM-CY participation scores were significantly different between groups in most domains. Children with disabilities were significantly less involved and participated in a smaller number of activities in all settings, in comparison to those without disabilities. The PEM-CY scores in all settings of the environment were significantly higher in the group of children without disabilities. CONCLUSION: Preliminary support was provided for the internal consistency and construct (known-groups) validity of the PEM-CY Brazil to measure participation and the environment in the Brazilian context. The PEM-CY can therefore be used by rehabilitation professionals in Brazil.

RESUMO

The aim of the current study was to assess the influence of maternal weight gain in different clinical gestational conditions on the child's weight at pre-school age. This was a longitudinal observational study of a prospective and controlled multiple cohort of 372 mother-child pairs with four causal groups of different adverse intrauterine environments (smoking, diabetic, hypertensive and intrauterine growth-restricted pregnant women) and a control group, in the period of, from 2011 to 2016 in three hospitals in Porto Alegre (Brazil). Sociodemographic, prenatal and perinatal data were analysed. Gestational weight gain (GWG) was categorised as 'insufficient', 'adequate' and 'excessive'. The generalised estimation equations (GEE) model was used to assess changes in the z-score of the child's body mass index from birth to pre-school age according to the GWG and gestational group. The child's GWG and weight gain were adjusted for maternal age and education, marital status, family income, pregnancy planning, number of children, prepregnancy BMI, prenatal consultations and type of delivery. A triple interaction effect was observed involving the gestational group, weight gain and study time (p = 0.020) through an adjusted model. Maternal weight gain above the recommended is associated with a significant increase in the child's z - BMI score over time, except for children from pregnant smokers. Children from diabetic mothers , hypertensive mothers and the control group who had a weight gain above that recommended during pregnancy changed their nutritional status from eutrophic to overweight, becoming obese in the DM and hypertension groups and overweight in control. Monitoring of the GWG, especially in the presence of hypertensive diseases and DM, should be effective to prevent children from developing overweight or obesity in pre-school age with an important impact on health conditions in the future.

RESUMO

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) stands poised to revolutionize our understanding of auditory detection, speech perception, and language development in infants. In this study, we conducted a meticulous integrative review across Medline, Scopus, and LILACS databases, targeting investigations utilizing fNIRS to explore language-related features and cortical activation during auditory stimuli in typical infants. We included studies that used the NIRS technique to study language and cortical activation in response to auditory stimuli in typical infants between 0 and 3 years old. We used the ROBINS-I tool to assess the quality and the risk of bias in the studies. Our analysis, encompassing 66 manuscripts, is presented in standardized tables for streamlined data extraction. We meticulously correlated findings with children's developmental stages, delineating crucial insights into brain development and its intricate interplay with language outcomes. Although most studies have a high risk for overall bias, especially due to the high loss of data in NIRS studies, the low risk in the other domains is predominant and homogeneous among the studies. Highlighted are the unique advantages of fNIRS for pediatric studies, underscored by its innate suitability for use in children. This review accentuates fNIRS' capacity to elucidate the neural correlates of language processing and the sequential steps of language acquisition. From birth, infants exhibit abilities that lay the foundation for language development. The progression from diffuse to specific neural activation patterns is extremely influenced by exposure to languages, social interaction, and prosodic features and, reflects the maturation of brain networks involved in language processing. In conclusion, fNIRS emerges as an indispensable functional imaging modality, providing insights into the temporal dynamics of language acquisition and associated developmental milestones. This synthesis presents the pivotal role of fNIRS in advancing our comprehension of early language development and paves the way for future research endeavors in this domain.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for treating hepatic malignant tumors and to identify factors influencing tumor recurrence post-treatment. METHODS: A total of 249 patients with hepatic malignant tumors treated at the Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute were included, and 101 patients were analyzed. Disease-free and overall survival rates were assessed at 1, 2, and 3 years post-MWA. Correlations between tumor recurrence and factors such as Child-Pugh B classification and lesion count were examined, and a meta-analysis was conducted to identify independent risk factors for recurrence. RESULTS: The study found disease-free survival rates of 80.2%, 72.3%, and 70.3% at 1, 2, and 3 years post-MWA, with overall survival rates at 99%, 97%, and 96%. Significant correlations were observed between tumor recurrence, Child-Pugh B classification, and the number of lesions. Meta-analysis confirmed lesion count and Child-Pugh B classification as independent risk factors for recurrence following MWA treatment. CONCLUSION: The study underscores the importance of considering Child-Pugh B classification and lesion count in predicting tumor recurrence after MWA for hepatic malignant tumors. These findings offer valuable insights for clinicians in decision-making and post-treatment monitoring.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Child-to-parent Violence Questionnaire (CPV-Q) in a group of Chinese adolescents. METHODS: A total of 1138 adolescents (15.24 ± 1.17 years old) were tested with the Chinese version of CPV-Q, Parent-Adolescent Conflict Scale, and Adolescent Aggressive Behavior Scale of which 201 adolescents were retested 1 month later. The Chinese version of CPV-Q contains psychological, physical, financial, and control/domain factors with 14 items. RESULTS: The four-factor model has good main fit indicators (father: χ2/df = 3.28, CFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.06; mother: χ2/df = 3.30, CFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.06); the scale has good criterion-related validity. The Cronbach's α coefficients of the Chinese version of CPV-Q were 0.89 (father) and 0.88 (mother), and the Cronbach's α coefficients of the four subscales were 0.81 ~ 0.84 (father) and 0.76 ~ 0.85 (mother). The test-retest reliability of the Chinese version of CPV-Q was 0.85 (father) and 0.83 (mother), and the test-retest reliability of the four subscales was 0.80 ~ 0.83 (father) and 0.75 ~ 0.84 (mother). CONCLUSION: Therefore, the CPV-Q has good reliability and validity for Chinese adolescents and can be used as an effective tool to evaluate Chinese adolescents' violence toward their parents.

RESUMO

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting mitigation measures have led to increased vulnerabilities in early child development. However, research is scarce and there are no studies on the persistence of these losses three years into the pandemic among young children. To fill in this gap, we examined census-like evaluations of school readiness carried out among preschoolers in Uruguay. The assessments were carried out among 5 cohorts of 5-year-olds: who were assessed prior to the pandemic (2018, 2019); during the pandemic (2020, 2021); and after the health emergency declaration ended in Uruguay (2022). A total of 180,984 teacher evaluations were included covering cognitive, motor and socio-emotional development, as well as attitudes toward learning. Overall, we found that scores in most spheres of child development decreased from before to during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, scores returned to pre-pandemic levels. Our findings suggest the recovery of developmental losses among cohorts of children in kindergarten took more than two years in a country that experienced a mild-to-moderate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
