Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations of adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines with cardiometabolic risk
2022
This study aimed to examine 1) adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines over a 2-year follow-up in children aged 6-8 years and 2) association of this adherence with cardiometabolic risk factors. Physical activity and sleep were assessed by a monitor combining heart rate and accelerometry measurements. Screen time was reported by the parents. Body fat percentage, waist circumference, blood glucose, serum insulin, plasma lipids and blood pressure were assessed, and a cardiometabolic risk score was calculated using z-scores. Children were classified as meeting the guidelines if they had on average ≥60min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during the valid days; ≤120min/day of screen…
À la recherche de l’intelligence : de la mesure et de l’organisation

Cet ouvrage aborde le champ des difficultés et des troubles de la vie intellectuelle et cognitive dans l’enfance et, plus généralement, celui des apprentissages et des moyens psychiques d’accès à la connaissance impliqués dans la réussite scolaire en particulier, et dans la réussite plus globale de l’enfant dans sa vie d’enfant, son bien-être, son développement harmonieux et dans sa future vie d’adulte.Fondé sur l’expérience clinique des auteurs auprès des enfants et des adolescents, mais aussi sur un enseignement dans le cadre d’un Diplôme universitaire, ce livre apporte également un éclairage plus large sur les processus impliqués dans les activités d’apprendre, de connaître et de penser,…
Associations of Children’s Close Reading Distance and Time Spent Indoors with Myopia, Based on Parental Questionnaire
2022
Purpose: To study the association of parents’ reports about their children’s near work and outdoor habits with myopia in their children. Methods: Data from a questionnaire study conducted in 1983 among Finnish schoolchildren were reanalyzed. Vision screening had been performed for all the schoolchildren (n = 4961) in the 1st, 5th, and 8th grades (7-, 11-, and 15-year-olds) in an area of Central Finland. The questionnaire, including information about myopia, was returned by 4305 (86.7%) participants. Items concerned parents’ estimates of their child’s habitual reading distance, time spent indoors as compared with age peers, daily near work, outdoors time, and parents&…
Sounding Together: Family-Centered Music Therapy as Facilitator for Parental Singing During Skin-to-Skin Contact
2017
Introduction: When it comes to the delicate relationship between a baby and its parents, the voices of the parents have a significant role in communicating love, tenderness, and closeness as well as in supporting self-regulation as necessary for secure attachment. Under suboptimal experiences, such as premature birth, infant-directed singing takes on an even more important and therapeutic role since preterm infants miss the finely attuned auditory stimulation of the womb and the mother-infant dyad is disrupted too early.
Traffic proximity and lung function. A case-control study in asthmatic children
2015
Introduction: Respiratory conditions are strongly dependent on air pollution. Urban areas are typically characterized by risky environmental conditions. Objectives: To analyze the effect of traffic proximity on asthma and to explore the relationship between level of traffic proximity and lung function in asthmatic and non- asthmatic children. Methods: A case-control study on children visited for suspected respiratory diseases at IBIM from 2011 to 2014 was performed. All the children have been geocoded according to their residence address. Exposure to traffic air pollution was assessed through determination of number and types of streets in proximity of the place of residence. The relationsh…
Rehabilitative training of preterm children’s attention: a study on sustainability
2012
This article is concerned with the description of rehabilitative training aimed at severely and moderately preterm children at preschool age who display impairments of processes of selective attention, self-control and problem solving and who are at risk of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders. In line with a perspective of field study suggested by pediatric psychology, the treatment calls for the involvement of parents, teachers, neonatologists and children’s reference pediatricians. To be more precise, it is a study aimed at investigating the sustainability of the training path in terms of impact and transformative valence of the focalised processes. Involved in the study was a group…
Advanced Management Protocol of Transanal Irrigation in Order to Improve the Outcome of Pediatric Patients with Fecal Incontinence
2021
Background: Transanal irrigation (TAI) is employed for children with fecal incontinence, but it can present several problems which require a study of their outcomes among different pathologies and without a tailored work up. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an advanced protocol in order to tailor TAI, prevent complications, and evaluate outcomes. Methods: We included 70 patients (14 anorectal malformation, 12 Hirschsprung’s disease, 24 neurological impairment, 20 functional incontinence) submitted to a comprehensive protocol with Peristeen®: fecal score, volumetric enema, rectal ultrasound, anorectal 3D manometry, and diary for testing and parameter adjustment. Resu…
Transexualidad y Adolescencia: Una revisión sistemática
2018
El estudio de la transexualidad ha evolucionado en los últimos años alcanzando mayor visibilidad actualmente gracias a las iniciativas de los colectivos trans y al incremento de niños, niñas y adolescentes que acuden a atención primaria por problemas de identidad de género. Este creciente interés ha estimulado la investigación cuya abundancia precisa un análisis y selección de los trabajos más relevantes. Con este objetivo hemos realizado una revisión bibliográfica con el fin de abordar el estado actual de la transexualidad temprana, centrándonos en los estudios relativos a su etiología, prevalencia, diagnóstico y tratamientos actuales. Para ello se consultaron diversas bases de datos (Web …
