Mortalidad por defectos del tubo neural en México, 1980-1997

2003

Objetivo. Describir la mortalidad en México por defectos del tubo neural, durante el periodo 1980-1997. Material y métodos. Las tasas anuales de mortalidad estatales y nacionales, por defectos del tubo neural, se calcularon por 10 000 nacidos vivos. La tendencia temporal fue evaluada por el porcentaje de cambio anual obtenido mediante un modelo de regresión de Poisson. Se calculó la razón de mortalidad, tomando la media nacional como referencia. Las tasas y las razones se representaron gráficamente en mapas. Resultados. Durante el periodo la tasa bruta de mortalidad por defectos del tubo neural fue de 5.8 por 10 000 nacidos vivos. La anencefalia fue el tipo de defecto más frecuente (37.7%),…

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions in healthy newborns: normative data.

1995

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) offer an alternative to transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) as an audiological test. The former can be used as a screening technique, and may also provide frequency-specific information about the functional state of the cochlea. We recorded DPOAE in a group of healthy newborns to establish the Characteristics of a DPOAE “audiogram” (DP-gram) in this population. The DP-gram can be obtained with characteristics quite similar to those observed in adults, with two sharp peaks of maximum amplitude at F2 frequencies of 2 kHz and 5-6 kHz, and a decline in DPOAE amplitude in mid frequencies. The results confirm the limitations of DPOAE r…

Associations Between Neonatal Cry Acoustics and Visual Attention During the First Year

2020

It has been suggested that early cry parameters are connected to later cognitive abilities. The present study is the first to investigate whether the acoustic features of infant cry are associated with cognitive development already during the first year, as measured by oculomotor orienting and attention disengagement. Cry sounds for acoustic analyses (fundamental frequency; F0) were recorded in two neonatal cohorts at the age of 0–8 days (Tampere, Finland) or at 6 weeks (Cape Town, South Africa). Eye tracking was used to measure oculomotor orienting to peripheral visual stimuli and attention disengagement from central stimuli at 8 months (Tampere) or at 6 months (Cape Town) of age. Only a m…

Transient hypothyroidism associated with prematurity, sepsis, and respiratory distress.

1979

Serial TSH and T4 determinations were performed in sixty neonates admitted to our hospital for neonatal intensive care within a period of three months. Seven patients (12%) showed transient hypothyroidism on the basis of low T4 and high TSH values. Only one of these patients, who had meconium aspiration and pneumonia, did not have the respiratory distress syndrome. In addition, 4 of these patients had sepsis. All of the patients were born before 37 gestational weeks and had birth weights under 2200 g. In addition, two patients of this gestational age and birth weight group had a progressive fall of T4 to extremely hypothyroid values without simultaneous elevation of TSH. Two of the 5 patien…

A New Mutation in the Promoter Region of the PAX8 Gene Causes True Congenital Hypothyroidism with Thyroid Hypoplasia in a Girl with Down's Syndrome

2014

Thyroid dysfunction is common in newborn infants with Down's syndrome (DS), but defects causing classic thyroid dysgenesis (TD) with permanent congenital hypothyroidism (CH) have not been described.We studied a girl with DS and CH who had a mutation in the promoter sequence of the PAX8 gene.A female infant was found to have trisomy 21 and CH, with a venous thyrotropin (TSH) of150 mU/L and a free thyroxine (fT4) of 15.1 pmol/L (day 12). Thyroid peroxidase antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies were elevated. Scintigraphy showed normal uptake, but ultrasound identified a small gland with heterogenous echotexture and cystic changes. Sequence analysis of the PAX8 gene revealed a new heterozygo…

Didáctica (lengua y literatura)

2020

espanolEn la actualidad presenciamos un aumento considerable del interes por las cuestiones de genero en la literatura infantil y juvenil. En este sentido, son muchas las publicaciones que huyen de los estereotipos y abogan por un trato equitativo de ninos y ninas. Este es el caso de Rosa Caramelo, una historia de empoderamiento femenino y superacion personal. Este album ilustrado puede utilizarse como una herramienta util y eficaz en la ensenanza/aprendizaje de espanol como lengua extranjera asi como en el fomento de valores. En concreto, con nuestra propuesta promovemos la igualdad de genero. En el presente articulo, presentamos una serie de actividades interdisciplinarias inspiradas en e…
