“…In contrast to the report of Sørensen and colleagues (3), our results showed an inverse association between maternal parity and cognitive function, i.e., our results showed that first borns have higher MDI scores. The association between higher maternal parity and poorer cognitive outcome corroborated previous findings (39,40), which demonstrated that parity was The data for all 72 twins were used for the linear regression study. Model 2 was adjusted for birth head circumference, gender and gestational age.…”

There have been indications that intrauterine and early extrauterine growth can influence childhood mental and motor function. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of intrauterine growth restriction and early extrauterine head growth on the neurodevelopmental outcome of monozygotic twins. Thirty-six monozygous twin pairs were evaluated at the corrected age of 12 to 42 months. Intrauterine growth restriction was quantified using the fetal growth ratio. The effects of birth weight ratio, head circumference at birth and current head circumference on mental and motor outcomes were estimated using mixed-effect linear regression models. Separate estimates of the between (interpair) and within (intrapair) effects of each measure on development were thus obtained. Neurodevelopment was assessed with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 2nd edition, by a psychologist blind to the exposure. A standardized neurological examination was performed by a neuropediatrician who was unaware of the exposures under investigation. After adjustment, birth weight ratio and head circumference at birth were not associated with motor or mental outcomes. Current head circumference was associated with mental but not with motor outcomes. Only the intrapair twin effect was significant. An increase of 1 cm in current head circumference of one twin compared with the other was associated with 3.2 points higher in Mental Developmental Index (95%CI = 1.06-5.32; P < 0.03). Thus, no effect of intrauterine growth was found on cognition and only postnatal head growth was associated with cognition. This effect was not shared by the co-twin.

“…Diversos estudos têm relatado que crianças nascidas com muito baixo peso apresentam maior predisposição para desenvolver défices do desenvolvimento linguístico. Autores como Montgomery et al (1997), Largo et al (1986) e Luoma et al (1998) referem que os RNMBP manifestam, ao longo das avaliações, resultados inferiores aos seus pares nascidos com peso adequado. Segundo os mesmos autores, estas crianças apresentam um desempenho mais fraco nos testes aplicados, evidenciando um atraso no desenvolvimento linguístico.…”

• RESUMO: O presente trabalho tem o objectivo central de avaliar o desenvolvimento fonológico de crianças nascidas com muito baixo peso, contribuindo com evidência empírica para a reflexão sobre o papel das variáveis fonológicas na avaliação do desenvolvimento linguístico infantil. Foi implementado um estudo com 30 crianças na faixa etária dos 3 anos e 6 meses aos 4 anos e 6 meses, sendo que 15 pertenciam à população de crianças nascidas com muito baixo peso e as restantes à de crianças nascidas com peso adequado, emparelhadas por género e idade. Observou-se o desempenho segmental das crianças nos dois grupos em estudo, avaliando-se a relação entre a produção das consoantes do inventário segmental do Português Europeu e a sua distribuição em função das variáveis fonológicas posição na palavra, posição na sílaba e acento de palavra. O objectivo central foi o de testar a eficácia das variáveis fonológicas acima referidas na identificação de diferenças de desenvolvimento fonológico entre os dois grupos de crianças. Através do teste de QuiQuadrado e da comparação frequencial, verificou-se que as crianças nascidas com muito baixo peso apresentavam um desempenho verbal inferior ao das crianças com peso adequado, no que diz respeito às variáveis fonológicas testadas.• PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Crianças de muito baixo peso.

ASPECTOS FONOLÓGICOSVários trabalhos sobre o desenvolvimento linguístico infantil têm identificado e/ou testado, nas últimas três décadas, as variáveis linguísticas com impacto na aquisição de diferentes sistemas gramaticais, tanto em contexto monolingue como bilingue. Este trabalho tem sido determinante para a definição da forma como o conhecimento linguístico se estrutura no processo de desenvolvimento cognitivo infantil, contribuindo, assim, para a validação de modelos teóricos

“…walking independently, language onset) had been achieved. Fine motor, gross motor, and language development were classified qualitatively according to developmental milestones on the basis of data from Largo et al 7 and Touwen 1984 8 : normal (within the 10th and 90th centile); mildly abnormal (delay less than 1 year below the 10th centile); and severely abnormal (delay more than 1 year). Children at 18 months of age were graded as abnormal if they did not walk independently (gross motor area), did not use pincer grasp (fine motor), or showed no language comprehension (language).…”

The neurodevelopmental outcome of children born after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is controversial. We compared the medical and developmental outcome of 34 singletons born after ICSI (20 males, 14 females; mean ages of 18mo and 40mo [SD 9mo]; range 2y 10mo–4y 8mo) with 39 case control studies (21 males, 18 females; mean ages of 18mo and 40mo [SD 4mo]; range 3y–4y 1mo). Each child was assessed physically and tested in three development domains (fine motor, gross motor, and language). Five children born after ICSI versus two control children (p=0.2) had major congenital anomalies (MaCAs). Four children born after ICSI versus no control children had severe MaCAs (p=0.04). These were defined as having a significant impact on development or causing chronic disease: Angelman syndrome (n=1), lissencephaly (n=1), Hanhart syndrome (n=1), and persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia of infancy (n=1). Karyotyping in 23 children born after ICSI revealed no abnormalities. An imprinting defect was found in the child with Angelman syndrome. Results of developmental assessment were in all cases normal at the age of 18 months except for the three children with Angelman and Hanhart syndromes, and lissencephaly. At the second assessment, five more children born after ICSI and four control children showed abnormalities in one or more developmental domains. We conclude that there seems to be a higher frequency of severe major anomalies in children born after ICSI. An increased risk for imprinting defects cannot be excluded. If we exclude children with severe MaCAs, the incidence of an abnormal somatic or neurodevelopmental outcome in the fourth year of life in children born after ICSI is similar to that of spontaneously conceived children.
