Methods Enrolled children underwent cognitive assessment by means of the Weschler WISC-IV cognitive test and assessment of the attention sustained through the LEITER test. In addition, parents were asked, in order to obtain a personality and behavior profile of the children, to fill in a “CBCL 6-18 years” questionnaire and to fill in a Barthel Index questionnaire. Results Processing Speed Index of the WISC-IV QI scale was statistically significant (p = 0.027), with the highest value presented by autonomous patients (95.8 ± 12.8) and the lowest by patients using a wheelchair (75.5 ± 19). WISC-IV QI mean value is 98 (±15.7) for lipoma patients and 78.7 (±17.6) for LMMC and MMC patients (p = 0.001). In...

Metodos: Foi realizada uma revisao narrativa, consultando as bases de dados online Pubmed, Bireme e sites oficiais da Associacao Brasileira para o Estudo da Obesidade e da Sindrome Metabolica (ABESO), Sociedade Brasileira de Endocrinologia e Metabologia (SBEM) e da Agencia Nacional de Vigilância Sanitaria (ANVISA) entre os anos de 2008 e 2017. Os descritores utilizados na busca de dados foram: Bisfenol A e Obesidade, Disruptores Endocrinos e Bisfenol A, Xenoestrogenos e Obesidade e, ambiente obesogenico. Resultados: Foram analisados 30 artigos, estes demonstraram evidencias de correlacao entre a exposicao ao BPA e obesidade. Conclusao: A crescente da obesidade nao esta relacionada apenas com o balanco energetico positivo, mas tambem a exposicao da populacao a compostos quimicos que modulam a acao dos hormonios endocrinos favorecendo o aumen...

Methods: Children that were operated on for a posterior fossa pilocytic astrocytoma in the Pediatric Neurosurgery Department of the Catholic University Medical School were selected according to the following criteria: (a) age > 5 years (in order to have a complete set of neurocognitive evaluations data), (b) ability to perform a complete set of tests before and after surgery, and (c) children that had a regular follow-up up to 10 years from the surgical treatment. Results: Forty-three percent of the children selected for the present study showed a borderline IQ before surgery, which is a result corresponding to those previously reported in the literature for children affected by posterior fossa pilocytic astrocytomas; praxi...
