A dança criativa no ensino, como forma de comunicação, integração e transformação entre crianças e professores, pode criar na criança uma consciência crítica e sobretudo ativa em relação ao ambiente que a cerca. Contribui para o desenvolvimento da força em contexto de aula e aprimora a vertente artística na criança. Este estudo de intervenção teve como objetivo estudar o impacto de um programa de dança criativa na força de crianças do 1ºCiclo. Participaram no estudo 154 crianças de ambos os sexos do 1º Ciclo do ensino básico (masculino, n = 69; feminino, n = 66). Foram avaliadas, em cada um dos períodos letivos (T1, T2 e T3), as características antropométricas e de composição corporal, e os níveis de força superior, média e inferior dos grupos com e sem dança criativa (cDC e sDC, respetivamente). Observou-se que os alunos do 1º ciclo cDC tinham níveis de força (superior e média) superiores aos alunos sDC. Os resultados sugerem que a DC contribuiu para o desenvolvimento da força em contexto de sala de aula. AUTORES:Raquel Barreto Madeira The results showed that pupils with creative dance had higher strength levels in the high and medium categories than pupils without creative dance. Results suggest that creative dance has helped to develop strength in a classroom context.
For percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)-fed head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, risk markers of poor outcomes may identify those needing more intensive support. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate markers of poor outcomes using TNM-defined stages, initial anthropometry [body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), tricipital skinfold (TSF), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC)] and laboratory data (albumin, transferrin, cholesterol), with 138 patients, 42–94 years old, enrolled. The patients had cancer, most frequently in the larynx (n = 52), predominantly stage IV (n = 109). Stage IVc presented a four times greater death risk than stage I (OR 3.998). Most patients presented low parameters: low BMI (n = 76), MUAC (n = 114), TSF (n = 58), MAMC (n = 81), albumin (n = 47), transferrin (n = 93), and cholesterol (n = 53). In stages I, III, IVa, and IVb, MAMC and PEG-timing were major survival determinants. Each MAMC unit increase resulted in 16% death risk decrease. Additional 10 PEG-feeding days resulted in 1% mortality decrease. Comparing IVa/IVb vs. IVc, albumin and transferrin presented significant differences (p = 0.042; p = 0.008). All parameters decreased as severity of stages increased. HNC patients were malnourished before PEG, with advanced cancer stages, and poor outcomes. Initial MAMC, reflecting lean tissue, significantly increases survival time, highlighting the importance of preserving muscle mass. PEG duration correlated positively with increased survival, lowering death risk by 1% for every additional 10 PEG-feeding days, signaling the need for early gastrostomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
