Dysharmonie psychotique et psychothérapie à propos du cas d'un enfant atteint du syndrome de Williams-Beuren
2003
Resume A travers le cas de Julien, atteint d'un syndrome de Williams-Beuren et d'une dysharmonie evolutive a versant psychotique, nous souhaitons montrer que malgre l'existence d'une pathologie genetique severe, l'emergence de formations potentiellement dynamiques liees a la rencontre intersubjective peut modifier le destin de l'enfant. Dans la mesure ou il est particulierement difficile de determiner la place attribuee a la maladie genetique, a la maladie psychiatrique et a leurs interactions complexes ou meme au role de la famille, du sujet lui-meme et aux evenements marquants de sa vie, nous avons choisi une approche strictement psychopathologique qui vise l’au-dela des symptomes, des co…

Sakodiena un oromiofunkcionālo traucējumu saistība pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem Latvijā
2019
Priekšvēsture: Orofaciālā mioloģija ir zinātne par sejas un orofaciālā kompleksa muskuļu normālu un patoloģisku darbību un to saistību ar sakodienu un runu. “Orofaciālā kompleksa miofunkcionālie traucējumi” (OMT) ietekmē mutes dobuma stāvokli un to saistību ar dažādiem fizioloģiskiem un psiholoģiskiem faktoriem. Infantila rīšana, mutes elpošana, pirkstu vai knupja ilgstoša sūkāšana, nagu graušana un zobu griešana ir daži no galvenajiem pētītajiem sliktajiem ieradumiem (Hanson & Mason, 2003). Ir izpētīts, ka tādi ieradumi kā ilgstošas elpceļu saslimšanas, infantila rīšana, mēles parafunkcija ir saistīti ar orofaciālā kompleksa disfunkcijām (Bahreman, 2013). Mērķis: Pētījums par okluzālo atra…

Materials and methods: A systematic search was made of the clinical guidelines published in the last 10 years and containing information referred to the concept or diagnosis of asthma in childhood - including the first years of l…
Effects of a physical education program on the development of early literacy abilities in preschool children

The aim of this study was to analyse whether the amount and frequency of a physical education (PE) program affected the early reading and writing skills in preschool children. Methods This study involved 189 children (age: 4.62 ± 0.97 years; height: 107.83 ± 7.82 cm, body weight: 19.84 ± 4.95 kg) of 8 Palermo kindergartens who were randomly divided in a control group (C, n= 29), a 1-intervention group (I-1, n= 120) and a 2-intervention group (I-2, n= 40). I-1 and I-2 children performed a PE program of 16-week length for 4 and 10 hours/week, respectively (to…
