Neuropsychological rehabilitation in children with central nervous system tumors and irradiated leukemias
2012
Actualmente la intervención e investigación en psicooncología pediátrica se dirige hacia la evaluación de las consecuencias de la enfermedad y los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos, y a los factores predictivos tanto de desajustes como de aspectos adaptativos a la enfermedad del paciente y de su familia. Las tasas de curación alcanzadas en la actualidad, nos permiten contar con un número considerable de supervivientes de cáncer infantil, susceptibles de ser evaluados y poder determinar así las secuelas a largo plazo de la enfermedad y sus procedimientos terapéuticos. Además de incrementar considerablemente la supervivencia, también se ha mejorado la calidad de vida de los niños, media…
Consistent phenological shifts in the making of a biodiversity hotspot: the Cape flora
2011
Abstract Background The best documented survival responses of organisms to past climate change on short (glacial-interglacial) timescales are distributional shifts. Despite ample evidence on such timescales for local adaptations of populations at specific sites, the long-term impacts of such changes on evolutionary significant units in response to past climatic change have been little documented. Here we use phylogenies to reconstruct changes in distribution and flowering ecology of the Cape flora - South Africa's biodiversity hotspot - through a period of past (Neogene and Quaternary) changes in the seasonality of rainfall over a timescale of several million years. Results Forty-three dist…
Marine food web perspective to fisheries‐induced evolution
2021
Abstract Fisheries exploitation can cause genetic changes in heritable traits of targeted stocks. The direction of selective pressure forced by harvest acts typically in reverse to natural selection and selects for explicit life histories, usually for younger and smaller spawners with deprived spawning potential. While the consequences that such selection might have on the population dynamics of a single species are well emphasized, we are just beginning to perceive the variety and severity of its propagating effects within the entire marine food webs and ecosystems. Here, we highlight the potential pathways in which fisheries‐induced evolution, driven by size‐selective fishing, might reson…
Evolutionary genomics can improve prediction of species' responses to climate change
2020
Abstract Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species, and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of GCC because they might not be able to respond fast enough to changing biotic and abiotic conditions. Species can respond either by shifting their range, or by persisting in their local habitat. If populations persist, they can tolerate climatic changes through phenotypic plasticity, or genetically adapt to changing conditions depending on their genetic variability and census population size to allow for de novo mutations. Otherwise, populations will experience demographic collapses and species may go ext…
Digital Devices Use and Language Skills in Children between 8 and 36 Month
2020
Background: Over the past decade, the use of digital tools has grown and research evidence suggests that traditional media and new media offer both benefits and health risks for young children. The abilities to understand and use language represent two of the most important competencies developed during the first 3 years of life through the interaction of the child with people, objects, events, and other environmental factors. The main goal of our study is to evaluate the relationship between digital devices use and language abilities in children between 8 and 36 month, also considering the influence of several factors. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational stu…
