“…Intellectual, adaptive and behavioural results were analysed descriptively, with the calculation of means, medians, standard deviation and minimum-maximum values of scores obtained in subtests or specific indexes, to identify main strengths and weaknesses in the whole sample. Finally, cognitive and behavioural data were evaluated based on cytogenomic findings, such as the deletion size of each patient, as well as some families' socio-economic conditions, including main caretaker educational level and family income as defined by Brazilian criteria for social class classification (Paiva et al 2016).…”

Background The association of behavioural phenotype assessment with cytogenomic characterisation may provide a better comprehension of genotype–phenotype correlations in syndromes caused by chromosomal abnormalities, such as 18p deletion syndrome. Method We report on four Brazilian patients with 18p deletion syndrome characterised by cytogenomic techniques and detailed neuropsychological evaluation. Intellectual, adaptive and behavioural characteristics were assessed through the Wechsler's Scales, the Vineland‐II Scale and the Child Behaviour Checklist, respectively. Socio‐economic measures including main caretaker educational level and family income as defined by Brazilian criteria for social class classification were also collected to evaluate a possible contribution of environmental factors in neurocognitive variability. Results Two out of four patients showed intellectual disability (IQ < 70). Wechsler's scale results suggest that in our sample, interpretation of social situations based on observation of non‐verbal behaviour constitute a cognitive strength while judgement of social rules and language skills associated with word knowledge and verbal fluency may be a cognitive weakness. Concerning adaptive behaviour, motor and socialisation domains showed to better develop than communication and daily living skills on the Vineland‐II Scale. Only one patient presented internalising behavioural problems based on the Child Behaviour Checklist. Our results also suggested that socio‐economic status may contribute to overall patient development. Conclusion Our results suggest that some 18p deletion syndrome patients may present average intellectual performance and that the segment deletion size and some families' socio‐economic conditions may influence cognitive development.

“…At baseline, pregnant women were evaluated in terms of sociodemographic factors (age, race/ethnicity, years of education, social class, and monthly per capita family income), reproductive history (previous pregnancy, children with malformations from previous pregnancies), current pregnancy characteristics (smoking, illicit drug use, delivery mode). For social class we used the new Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria [ 17 ], which is based on the pattern of consumption of the Brazilian families. It ranges from A (higher) to E (lower).…”

Zika-related adverse outcomes in a cohort of pregnant women with rash in Pernambuco, Brazil

et al. 2021

Background While Zika virus (ZIKV) is now widely recognized as a teratogen, the frequency and full spectrum of adverse outcomes of congenital ZIKV infection remains incompletely understood. Methods Participants in the MERG cohort of pregnant women with rash, recruited from the surveillance system from December/2015-June/2017. Exposure definition was based on a combination of longitudinal data from molecular, serologic (IgM and IgG3) and plaque reduction neutralization tests for ZIKV. Children were evaluated by a team of clinical specialists and by transfontanelle ultrasound and were classified as having microcephaly and/or other signs/symptoms consistent with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Risks of adverse outcomes were quantified according to the relative evidence of a ZIKV infection in pregnancy. Findings 376 women had confirmed and suspected exposure to ZIKV. Among evaluable children born to these mothers, 20% presented with an adverse outcome compatible with exposure to ZIKV during pregnancy. The absolute risk of microcephaly was 2.9% (11/376), of calcifications and/or ventriculomegaly was 7.2% (13/180), of additional neurologic alterations was 5.3% (13/245), of ophthalmologic abnormalities was 7% (15/214), and of dysphagia was 1.8% (4/226). Less than 1% of the children experienced abnormalities across all of the domains simultaneously. Interpretation: Although approximately one-fifth of children with confirmed and suspected exposure to ZIKV in pregnancy presented with at least one abnormality compatible with CZS, the manifestations presented more frequently in isolation than in combination. Due to the rare nature of some outcomes and the possibility of later manifestations, large scale individual participant data meta-analysis and the long-term evaluation of children are imperative to identify the full spectrum of this syndrome and to plan actions to reduce damages.

A Behavioral Economics Approach to Residential Electricity Consumption

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Consumer behavior is complex and is difficult to represent in traditional economic theories of decision-making. This paper focuses on the development of an agent-based approach to analyze people's behavior in consuming electricity using a behavioral economics framework, where the consumer is the main agent of power systems. This approach may bring useful insights for distribution companies and regulatory agencies, helping to shift thinking to a more user-centric approach. The emergent properties of electricity consumption are modeled by the means of consumer's heuristics, taking into account the electricity price, consumer's satisfaction level, willingness to invest in new technologies, social interactions, and marketing strategies by the power utility. Analysis on the emergent behavior of this approach through simulation studies showed that it is indeed valuable, as does not require in-depth data of all details on human behavior. However, it contributes to the understanding of relations among various objects involved in electricity consumption.
