Introduction: Commonly, preterm infants have a delay in the acquisition of motor skills. Evidence has shown that reaching specific interventions and experiences in a variety of postures have improved reaching behavior, head control, and motor development in preterm infants. However, knowing that reaching and trunk control are interrelated skills, it is relevant to develop an intervention that emphasizes trunk control activities associated with reaching for the motor development of infants at biological risk. Objective: To investigate the effects of an early intervention protocols on gross motor performance, trunk control and reaching of moderate to late preterm infants at the emergence of reaching. Methods: Thirty-nine moderate- to late- preterm infants (34.82 ± 1.20 weeks of gestational age) (19 boys and 20 girls) at the onset of reaching (4.36 ± 0.54 months corrected age) were randomized into two groups: experimental - received training of functional reaching associated with trunk control and control– positioning training. Infants were assessed by the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo), Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and reaching assessment in 4 assessments: 1) pre-training; 2) post-training 1; 3) post-training 2 and 4) retention. All assessments were performed by a blinded evaluator. The training of functional reaching associated with trunk control was performed by a physical therapist and parents at home for 12 consecutive days (6 sessions delivered by physical therapist and 6 sessions by parents) consisting of activities focused on trunk control and reaching activities in a variety of postures, for approximately 30-40 minutes a day. For the variables of gross motor performance, trunk control and reaching, the Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare the groups (experimental and control) in each assessment (pre-training, post-training 1 and 2 and retention). Results: Training functional reaching in association with trunk control was superior to positioning training, considering gross motor performance at post-training p= 0.023 and retention p= 0.005 and AIMS prone subscale at retention p= 0.002, a higher frequency of reaches with open hand at post-training 1 p <0.001 and with grasping at post-training 2, but not regarding trunk control, for the frequency of reaches, uni- and bimanual reaches, vertical, closed hand and contact surface (dorsal or ventral). Conclusion: Training functional reaching in association with trunk control was effective in favoring gross motor performance and increasing the frequency of more adaptive reaching, in other words, with an open hand and grasping, favoring the exploration of objects and which can be an efficient early intervention strategy for clinicians and parents.
Um aluno-pesquisador na pandemia: o papel da pesquisa científica na formação acadêmica
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-01-18) Slywitch Filho, Glieb; Aquilante, Aline Guerra; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5699716799010108; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3909093043446433
This undergraduate thesis is a critical-reflexive narrative in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal University of São Carlos’s medical school’s Pedagogical Project and aims to show the trajectory and experiences of a medical student during graduation. The narrative is organized in such a way as to expose, through the student's vision and experience, the development of an undergraduate research project, within the University Hospital, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the year of 2020.
Levantamento e caracterização da população ex-situ da raposa-do-campo (Lycalpex vetulus) no Brasil
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-01-18) Morais, Luan Henrique; Lima, Caio Filipe da Motta; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5833399072087947; Ramos, Patrícia Locosque; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7542477918045216; https://lattes.cnpq.br/661086351918686
Carnivores suffer several forms of pressure contributing to the decline of these populations. The hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus) is the smallest of the Brazilian canids. Have crepuscular-nocturnal habits, are omnivorous and monogamous, and their reproductive period occurs once a year, borning three to five offspring. Human actions accelerate the extinction process, where 25% of fauna and flora species are vulnerable. The hoary fox is classified as vulnerable mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation. It is endemic to the Cerrado, a biome that has been losing significantly its area to pastures and agricultural activities. Integrated strategies between institutions may be the only alternative for the survival of endangered species. Knowing the biology of the species, real threats, correctly identifying of the specimens and having an overview of the captive individuals, in addition to generating knowledge, is of paramount importance in the creation of strategies aimed at the conservation of Lycalopex vetulus. Through and with the participation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums of Brazil (AZAB) and the São Paulo Association of Zoos and Aquariums (APAZA), a consultation was carried out with the associated institutions that keep the species under guard, and that showed interest in participating in the study. A questionnaire was prepared with population data and questions related to ex situ management, including information on nutrition, facilities, behavior, education, physical restraint, veterinary care, management and reproduction. Photos were also requested to identify individuals. The answers were qualitatively evaluated in order to know the management that the institutions offer to the animals. For the classification of individuals, the requested photos were evaluated in order to prove, from the phenotypic characteristics, whether the animals in question were L. vetulus or were mistakenly classified. In relation to the 24 animals participating in the project, only five had phenotypic characteristics consistent with the species under study, two are more similar to L. gymnocercus and the rest of them have characteristics of the two species, which may be hybrids between these species. It is concluded that it is of paramount importance to train professionals who work with fauna to correctly identify the species, as well as carrying out a molecular evaluation of individuals kept under human care, in order to have precision of the species for the beginning of an effective integrated conservation project that aims to preserve it.
