Abstract Quality of Life (QoL) is a predictor of development depending on multiple factors, being the QoL of infants still little studied, especially in permanent settings such as infants educational center or daycare centers. Correlate quality of life with age, family income and the neuropsychomotor development of infants between 4 and 18 months of age in daycare centers. Descriptive transverse study research, with clinical trials registration : RBR 2hd6sm on November 2, 2016. Quality of life was evaluated with interviews with the family through Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-PedsQL™ (Brazilian version). The infants were evaluated in a playful way, through the use of Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and Denver II test . 88 infants participated in the study. The infants evaluated had a good quality of life, with scores above 64%. AIMS presented the correlation with for physical functioning and total score of QoL. QoL of infants from 4 to 18 months of age is correlated with their neuropsychomotor development, which suggests the need for investigations between this theme and daycare centers.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of Moringa oleifera Lam. seed flour for partial fat replacement in chicken mortadella on physicochemical characteristics, chemical composition, and lipid oxidation. Four mortadellas were prepared: C (control), T1, T3, and T5 (addition of 1%, 3%, and 5% of moringa seed flour, respectively). T5 mortadella had the lowest lipid content (p < 0.05), whereas C mortadella had the highest (p < 0.05). The addition of 5% of moringa seed flour affected color parameters, leading to an increase in L*, a*, and b* values in comparison with the control. Color changes (ΔE) in T3 and T5 mortadellas were the lowest among the samples during a 90-day storage period at 4 °C. The addition of 3 or 5% of moringa seed flour promoted a reduction in lipid oxidation during storage. Moringa seeds have antioxidant activity and, therefore, have the potential to be used as a natural functional ingredient in meat products. The addition of 3% of moringa seed flour seemed to be ideal for chicken mortadella, as it reduced lipid content and promoted lipid stability without causing noticeable color changes during the 90 days of storage.

Abstract Introduction: A daycare center is a long-term place for infants, which means that early intervention programs should be thought of in this environment. There are still many gaps regarding the best way of stimulation/intervention, duration and description of effects and controlled outcomes. Aim: The objective of this clinical trial is to propose an early physical activity intervention program performed in infants of 4-18 months with risk/delay and with typical development at infant’s daycare. Method: The protocol of this study is indicated for a controlled trial, in a crossover format, to be applied in 4 groups composed by in 4-18 month-old infants who attend daycare: Intervention group 1 Typical, Intervention group 1 Risk/delay, group Intervention 2 Typical, group Intervention 2 Risk/delay, in 4-18 month old infants who attend daycare. The ICF criteria about functions and structure (through evaluation questionnaire) are considered, as well as activities and participation (AIMS, Denver II, and PedsQl™ evaluation), personal characteristics (questionnaire, ABEP and AHEMD-IS) and environmental factors (AHEMD-IS). Conclusion: This original proposal can highlight a low-cost intervention program performed in a daycare environment verifying the infant's NMD in a systematized way using theoretical basis.

Resumo Ao nascer, o recém-nascido pré-termo (RNPT) frequentemente necessita internamento em UTI-Neonatal que, apesar de ser um ambiente de cuidados, também causa estresses ao RNPT como a dor, alterações de sono e vigília e de parâmetros fisiológicos. Objetivou-se analisar os efeitos da fisioterapia aquática sobre a dor, o estado de sono e vigília e variáveis fisiológicas de RNPT internados em UTI Neonatal. Avaliações sobre dor, estado de sono e vigília e das variáveis fisiológicas foram realizadas em três momentos: 5 minutos antes da intervenção, imediatamente após e 10 minutos após. Na intervenção, os participantes foram envoltos em tecidos macios e imersos, a nível do ombro, em água aquecida (36°C a 37,5°C). Foram realizados movimentos látero-laterais, ântero-posteriores e rotacionais. Participaram 22 RNPT. Os resultados obtidos em relação à dor e ao estado de sono e vigília mostram melhoras significativas nas reavaliações após a intervenção. As variáveis fisiológicas também sofreram mudanças significativas e mantiveram-se dentro dos parâmetros de normalidade. Esta pesquisa aponta que a fisioterapia aquática é efetiva na redução da dor, melhora do estado de sono e vigília e das variáveis fisiológicas de RNPT internados em UTI-Neonatal.

Abstract At birth, preterm newborns (PTNB) often require Neonatal-ICU hospitalization, which, despite being a care setting, also causes stress such as pain, sleep disturbances and wakefulness, and alterations of physiological parameters. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of aquatic physiotherapy on pain, sleep disturbances and wakefulness, and physiological variables of PTNB in Neonatal-ICU. Pain, sleep disturbances and wakefulness, and alterations of physiological parameters were evaluated at three moments: 5 minutes before intervention, immediately after and 10 minutes after intervention. At intervention, participants were wrapped in soft fabric and immersed at shoulder level in warm water (36 ° C to 37.5 ° C). Sideways, forward, backward and rotational movements were performed. Twenty-two newborns participated in the study. The results obtained in relation to pain, sleep state and wakefulness showed significant improvements in reevaluations after intervention. Physiological variables also underwent significant changes and remained within normality parameters. The results indicate that aquatic physiotherapy is effective in reducing pain, improving sleep and wakefulness and physiological variables of PTNB in Neonatal-ICU.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common disability in children caused by central nervous system lesion. The aim of the present study was to verify the intensive neuromotor therapy effects in children with CP, in a reference Brazilian centre. In this study, three years of medical records from a Brazilian reference Centre of Intensive Neuromotor Therapy (INMT) which use the INMT protocol were analysed. The motor evaluation for each child was done by the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and GMFM-88 by an experienced professional, before and after each INMT module. A total of 53 children between the ages of 1 and 15 years (age at treatment initiation, initial evaluation), with a mean age of 5.94±3.38 years, participated in the study. Participants performed between 1 and 10 INMT modules. There was no strong correlation between age and overall performance on the GMFM scale, but it was observed a strong negative correlation between the percentage of GMFM gains and the number of modules (r=-0.709; R² = 0.50; p = 0.022, CI95%[0.014 - 0.026]), suggesting that patients tend to present higher percentage gains in the first modules. Through an intra-module comparison, it was observed statistical difference in the total score in each of the modules.

Abstract Aim: To assess motor abilities and functioning of institutionalized children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) within a contextual model of development. Methods: Eleven institutionalized Brazilian children and adolescents aged 2-19 (14 ± 5) years, 5 males and 6 females, were evaluated through the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88 and 66) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and classified according to the ICF core set. Results: The evaluated individuals have severe impairments as indicated by their GMFM scores and confirmed by their need for full assistance in basic activities of daily living according to the FIM assessment. The difficulties manifested reflected on the ICF body functions and activities and participation domains. Conclusion: Most institutionalized children and adolescents with CP had GMFM-66 scores comparable to those indicated in literature. The ICF-based assessment identified environmental barriers that might be considered for improvement in order to facilitate activities and participation.
