Effects of maternal singing during kangaroo care on maternal anxiety, wellbeing, and mother-infant relationship after preterm birth: a mixed methods …
2020
Introduction: Preterm birth may disturb the typical development of the mother– infant relationship, when physical separation and emotional distress in the neonatal intensive care unit may increase maternal anxiety and create challenges for early interaction. This cluster-randomized controlled trial examined the effects of maternal singing during kangaroo care on mothers’ anxiety, wellbeing, and the early mother– infant relationship after preterm birth. Method: In the singing intervention group, a certified music therapist guided the mothers (n = 24) to sing or hum during daily kangaroo care during 33–40 gestational weeks (GW). In the control group, the mothers (n = 12) conducted daily kanga…
Research in mathematics education as a component in the initial training of early childhood teachers
2013
En este trabajo presentamos una experiencia didáctica llevada a cabo en la asignatura Didáctica de la Matemática en Educación Infantil impartida en 4º curso del Grado de Maestro en Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Valencia. A través de esta experiencia hemos pretendido acercar la investigación en el campo de la didáctica de la matemática a los futuros maestros de infantil. Con el fin de poder evaluar el impacto que dicha experiencia ha tenido, hemos procedido a administrar un pre-test y un post-test que indagan en el conocimiento que los estudiantes poseen sobre las investigaciones en educación matemática infantil y la utilidad que le otorgan. Hemos analizado los datos obtenidos y en…
Paternal uniparental disomy chromosome 14-like syndrome due a maternal de novo 160 kb deletion at the 14q32.2 region not encompassing the IG- and the…
2015
The human chromosome 14q32 carries a cluster of imprinted genes which include the paternally expressed genes (PEGs) DLK1 and RTL1, as well as the maternally expressed genes (MEGs) MEG3, RTL1as, and MEG8. PEGs and MEGs expression at the 14q32.2-imprinted region are regulated by two differentially methylated regions (DMRs): the IG-DMR and the MEG3-DMR, which are respectively methylated on the paternal and unmethylated on the maternal chromosome 14 in most cells. Genetic and epigenetic abnormalities affecting these imprinted gene clusters result in two different phenotypes currently known as maternal upd(14) syndrome and paternal upd(14) syndrome. However, only few patients carrying a maternal…

Sleep problems reported by parents affect 20% to 30% of infants. Few studies focused on the longitudinal association between infant feeding practices and sleep, especially in France. Analyses were based on 8,696 infants from the French national birth cohort ELFE. Collection of feeding practices from birth to 10 months allowed for the identification of trajectories of use of baby cereals and thickened formula by group‐based trajectory modelling and calculation of duration of any breastfeeding (BF) and age at complementary feeding introduction (CFI) excluding baby cereals. Total sleep duration (TSD), night waking (NW) and sleep onset difficulties (SOD) were reported at age 1. Associations bet…
Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2-IgG Antibodies in Children with CKD or Immunosuppression
2021
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly spread from China as a pandemic, with Italy one of the most affected countries worldwide. Unlike adults, children have a milder presentation of COVID-19, even when affected by CKD or on immunosuppressive therapy for glomerulopathies and kidney
Adventures of Clinical Psychology

ETIOBE: Un protocolo de intervención para la obesidad infantil apoyado en las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación
2015
El sobrepeso y la obesidad infantil, constituyen hoy en día un grave problema de salud en todo el mundo. La elevada prevalencia de la obesidad infantil ha llevado a que países como Estados Unidos y Europa inviertan en recursos físicos y económicos para desarrollar estrategias capaces de paliar y frenar este alarmante incremento. Sin embargo, a pesar de todo este esfuerzo, la realidad muestra cómo cada vez son más las personas afectadas de este problema. Este problema adquiere una gran magnitud debido a las consecuencias físicas, psicológicas y sociales asociadas al mismo. Ante esta problemática surge la necesidad de desarrollar programas de intervención eficaces, capaces de lograr no sólo e…
Two-dimensional and three-dimensional sonography of conjoined twins.
2002
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the diagnostic capabilities of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) sonography for the study of conjoined twins. Methods Four pregnant women with an initial 2D sonographic diagnosis of conjoined twins were examined with color Doppler sonography, 3D multiplanar sonography, and orthogonal plane imaging and 3D surface rendering. Results All 4 cases of conjoined twins were initially diagnosed with either transvaginal or transabdominal 2D sonography. 3D sonography afforded more realistic views and demonstrated more clearly the linking areas and surface anomalies, but 2D and color Doppler sonography provided more definitive and specif…
An extensive pattern of atypical neural speech-sound discrimination in newborns at risk of dyslexia.
2019
Objective: Identifying early signs of developmental dyslexia, associated with deficient speech-sound processing, is paramount to establish early interventions. We aimed to find early speech-sound processing deficiencies in dyslexia, expecting diminished and atypically lateralized event-related potentials (ERP) and mismatch responses (MMR) in newborns at dyslexia risk. Methods: ERPs were recorded to a pseudoword and its variants (vowel-duration, vowel-identity, and syllable-frequency changes) from 88 newborns at high or no familial risk. The response significance was tested, and group, laterality, and frontality effects were assessed with repeated-measures ANOVA. Results: An early positive a…
Jugar a la guerra i a la pau. Breu història dels discursos ludicopedagògics en els segles XIX i XX
2009
Paya Rico, Andres - Andres.Paya@uv.es A causa, d’una banda, de la creença en la relació existent entre el joc en l’edat infantil i la preparació per a l’edat adulta o predicció de comportaments futurs, i de l’altra dels postulats que proclamen la protecció a la infància, comença a cobrar un auge important a principis de segle xx un corrent de pensament pedagògic que advoca per la vigilància i cura dels jocs dels xiquets. Es pretén apartar la infància de jocs considerats inadequats o perillosos moralment i social, motiu pel qual els educadors alcen la veu d’alarma sobre els jocs i joguets bèl·lics o de guerra que, amb anterioritat, havien defensat per considerar-los formadors del patriotisme…
