Perlman syndrome: Clinical report and nine-year follow-up
2005
We present the clinical and follow-up data of a female infant with Perlman syndrome from birth to the age of 9 years. Main features of Perlman syndrome include polyhydramnios, fetal overgrowth, neonatal macrosomia, macrocephaly, dysmorphic facial features, visceromegaly, nephroblastomatosis, and a predisposition for Wilm's tumor. In our patient, the nephromegaly with nephroblastomatosis was not present at birth or during the neonatal period; it became evident in the first months of postnatal life. A Wilm's tumor was diagnosed when she was about 1 year old. Long term follow-up documents the natural history of Perlman syndrome and allows us to establish the long-term prognosis of the affected…
Aplicación de la Termografía Infrarroja en Pediatría: Análisis de las alteraciones de la microcirculación cutánea
2020
Desde los inicios de la medicina, se conoce la relación entre enfermedad y las variaciones de temperatura corporal, lo que ha llevado al estudio y desarrollo de técnicas de termometría, que permitiesen cuantificar dichos cambios de temperatura. Entre ellas, destaca la Termografía Infrarroja, que es una técnica de imagen inocua, ya que se basa en captar la emisión de radiación del infrarrojo que emite el cuerpo, es rápida de realizar y accesible, pues se puede realizar cerca del paciente, sin necesidad de desplazamientos ni sedación. Todas estas características hacen que sea una técnica recomendable para utilizar en la población pediátrica que, por su corta edad, es más vulnerable a las radi…
Prevenzione della violenza all'infanzia e strategie di intervento interistituzionale
2009
Introduzione I progetti di prevenzione della violenza sui minori enfatizzano l’importanza del coordinamento interistituzionale multidisciplinare per contrastare un fenomeno complesso come quello del maltrattamento e abuso all’infanzia (Bertotti, 2001; Ehrle, Scarcella e Green, 2004; Bianchi, 2006; Jent et al., 2009). La conoscenza delle relazioni interorganizzative permette di individuare la capacità delle istituzioni di rispondere efficacemente ai bisogni dei minori e delle loro famiglie. Gli studi evidenziano l’esistenza di una relazione tra l’efficacia degli interventi e la coesione tra i professionisti (Malacrea e Vassalli, 1990; Cantatore e Turetti, 2003; Di Blasio, Milani e Acquistapa…
Le tecniche grafiche come strumento di valutazione del trauma infantile
2010
Per gli psicologi che operano nell’ambito del maltrattamento infantile, le tecniche grafiche sono uno strumento ampiamente utilizzato. Nel processo di valutazione del trauma, la lettura del disegno può facilitare la conoscenza e la comprensione di temi o contenuti relativi ad esperienze particolarmente dolorose, altrimenti indicibili. Il ricorso alle immagini, più che il linguaggio o la scrittura, permette di esprimere in modo indiretto timori, paure, angosce e conflitti, attribuendo significato all’esperienza traumatica stessa. L’utilizzo di strumenti quali il Disegno della Figura Umana e il Disegno Cinetico della Famiglia consente di esplorare le rappresentazioni che i bambini hanno di se…
Influencia de la obesidad infantil sobre el control postural y la marcha
2019
OBJETIVO El objetivo principal de este trabajo es estudiar la influencia de la masa adiposa sobre el control postural y la marcha en niños con sobrepeso y obesidad. Así como poder determinar las diferencias en el control postural que existen entre estos y los niños normopeso (sin sobrepeso ni obesidad). METODOLOGÍA Se realizaron 3 estudios con un grupo de sujetos de unos 12 años de edad. A su vez, este se dividió en dos grupos: con obesidad o sobrepeso y sin obesidad o sobrepeso. A todos se les midió el peso con una plataforma de fuerzas (Dinascan/IBV, Instituto Biomecánica de Valencia, Valencia, España) y la altura con un tallímetro. Al grupo con obesidad también se les midió la composició…
Escuela Digital: estrategias y materiales didácticos digitales en Educación Infantil y Primaria

Brain representation of action observation in human infants.
2015
Imitative learning has long been established as extremely important for early development. However, neural mechanisms involved in early imitative behaviours are still areas of active research. Neurophysiological and brain-imaging studies have been recently performed that provide initial evidence of brain activation associated with action observation in the first months of life. In this review we examine all studies exploring the effects of action observation on brain function assessed by means of non-invasive brain-mapping techniques. Seventeen papers were selected as a result of our literature search. The strongest evidence for a neural signature of action observation comes from studies ex…
Parental and Infant Gender Factors in Parent-Infant Interaction: State-Space Dynamic Analysis.
2017
This study aimed to investigate the influence of parental gender on their interaction with their infants, considering, as well, the role of the infant’s gender. The State Space Grid (SSG) method, a graphical tool based on the non-linear dynamic system (NDS) approach was used to analyze the interaction, in Free-Play setting, of 52 infants, aged 6 to 10 months, divided into two groups: half of the infants interacted with their fathers and half with their mothers. There were 50% boys in each group. MANOVA results showed no differential parenting of boys and girls. Additionally, mothers and fathers showed no differences in the Diversity of behavioral dyadic states nor in Predictability. However…
Childhood Obesity and Maternal Personality Traits: A New Point of View on Obesity Behavioural Aspects.
2021
The epidemic spread of childhood obesity in Western society has interested many researchers, who agree in defining it as a multifactorial disease in which not only eating habits and sedentary lifestyle play a role, but also genetic predisposition. The aim of this study was to analyze the personality profile of a group of mothers of children with obesity and to compare this profile to that of a group of mothers of children without obesity. A total of 258 mothers participated in the study (126 mothers of children with obesity and 132 mothers of children without obesity). Weight and height were measured and the body mass index was calculated. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory sec…
