Se presenta y analiza un proyecto de cooperación internacional para alumnado universitario español, en el que se combina la metodología formativa de aprendizaje servicio (ApS) con una estancia en un país emergente. Desde los grados de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera, se planificó y ejecutó una intervención educativa en Djikesse (Senegal), concretamente en las escuelas de Educación Infantil (Guardería A…
Exploring prenatal and neonatal life history through dental histology in infants from the Phoenician necropolis of Motya (7th–6th century BCE)
2023
The biological life history of infants from archaeological contexts can provide a unique insight into past human populations. Dental mineralized tissues contain a permanent record of their growth that can provide access to the prenatal and early infant life, and mortality, of human skeletons. This study focuses on the histomorphometric analysis of deciduous teeth from the ‘Archaic Necropolis’ of Motya (7th–6th century BCE, Sicily–Italy). The histomorphometric analysis is conducted on prenatal and postnatal enamel of eight anterior deciduous teeth from seven individuals from this Phoenician population to estimate their chronological age-at-death, health, and enamel growth parameters. Proteom…
Distal Arthrogryposis type 5 in an Italian family due to an autosomal dominant gain-of-function mutation of the PIEZO2 gene
2022
Abstract Background Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a group of clinically and etiologically heterogeneous conditions, characterized by prenatal onset contractures affecting two or more joints. Its incidence is about 1 in 3000 live births. AMC may be distinguished into amyoplasia, distal and syndromic arthrogryposis. Distal arthrogryposis (DA) predominantly affects hands and feet. It is currently divided into more than ten subtypes (DA1, DA2A/B, DA3–10), based on clinical manifestations, gene mutations and inheritance pattern. Among them, only a few patients with DA5 have been reported. It is associated to a gain-of-function pathogenic variant of the PIEZO2 gene, encoding for an …
Infantile intranuclear rod myopathy.
1997
This report concerns three unrelated floppy infants, two girls and one boy, each biopsied at the age of 1 month. They were hypotonic since birth and required artificial ventilation. The two girls died at the ages of 4 and 3½ months, respectively, the boy is still alive at the age of 2 years, but requires assisted ventilation. Each of the three infants showed, by muscle biopsy, abundant intranuclear rods, the boy and one girl also had sarcoplasmic rods, which were not present in the other girl's muscle. Absence of sarcoplasmic rods, but the presence of intranuclear rods could also be documented in her autopsied muscle. Using an antibody against α-actinin, immunoelectron microscopy showed re…
Panorama general sobre formación inicial y empleabilidad de Docentes de EAPI en Chile
2022
Initial teacher training has been central to determine the quality of education, leaving behind basic training for more solid theoretical foundations, making improvements in teachers' statutes, increasing salaries and greater social valuation (Pedró, 2020). This study examines the initial training received by ECEC professionals in Chile, analyzing the level of training achieved by Chilean universities and the employment situation of their graduates, in order to identify the entry conditions and processes associated with professional quality. Being exploratory in nature, the characteristics of the IDF and the criteria associated with employability were examined, yielding categorical results …
Actitudes hacia el alumnado con discapacidad en educación física: validación de la EAADEF-EP a la etapa de educación primaria
2020
La investigación que aborda la inclusión del alumnado con discapacidad en educación física (EF) se presenta como un reto educativo en la actualidad. El objetivo de este estudio fue validar la Escala de Actitud hacia el Alumnado con Discapacidad en Educación Física (EAADEF) de Íñiguez-Santiago et al. (2017) a la etapa de educación primaria (EAADEF-EP). Participaron 465 estudiantes (rango 9-13 años) que cursaban 4º, 5º y 6º curso de la etapa de educación primaria obligatoria (EPO). Se confirmaron unos índices de ajuste adecuados para la adaptación de la EAADEF a EPO, mostrándose la estructura factorial invariante respecto al curso, género, el contacto previo con familiares o amigos con discap…
STUDIO DELL'ATTIVITA' ELETTRICA GASTRICA CON ELETTROGASTROGRAFIA IN NEONATI PRETERMINE
2000
Gli Autori hanno valutato la differenza dei dati elettrogastrografici basali in neonati a digiuno confrontando i nati a termine con i prematuri suddivisi in base alla età gestazionale in prima e dopo la 32ma settimana e in base alla presenza o meno di gemellarità. I dati raccolti consentono di concludere che le differenze riscontrate tra egg dei neonati a termine e dei prematuri sono da riportare ad alcuni fattori di rischio particolari. In effetti al di sopra di 32 settimane di gestazione e in assenza della gemellarità i dati sono sovrapponibili a quelli dei nati a termine.
Neuropsychological Profile, Emotional/Behavioral Problems, and Parental Stress in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
2021
Background: The aim of our study was to trace a specific neuropsychological profile, to investigate emotional-behavioral problems and parental stress in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1/High functioning (ASD-HF), Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) disorders and to highlight similarities and differences among the three groups. Methods: We retrospectively collected the data from a total of 62 subjects with ASD-HF (n = 19) ADHD (n = 21), SLD (n = 22) and 20 typical development. All the participants underwent neuropsychological standardized test for the evaluation of cognitive profile (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Four…
The child with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDS): Behavioral and neurobiological aspects
2015
Introduction: The Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) have onset in the first years of life and are characterized clinically by qualitative impairments in social interaction, communication and a restricted repertoire, stereotyped and repetitive interests and activities. Currently there is a medical consensus on the causes of autism: they should not be psychosocial but should be based in biology, especially in the central nervous system abnormalities caused by both inherited and environmental causes. The aim of this study was to study a sample of subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) with a wide protocol, including neurophysiological and radiological investigations as well as laborator…
Autism spectrum disorders in children affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
2019
Objective Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive neuromuscular condition that has a high rate of cognitive and learning disabilities as well as neurobehavioral disorders, some of which have ben associated with disruption of dystrophin isoforms. Recent studies have pointed to an increased risk for intellectual disability and autism among affected males.The aim of the present study was to describe a case series of children with DMD that have also the presence of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). they have been assessed by means of standardized autism scales and the monst appropriate psycho-educational treatment is herein discussed. Methods and Results In order to evaluate and iden…
