Nutritional aspects importance in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

O distúrbio de hiperatividade com déficit de atenção constitui síndrome comum na infância, pelo que é reconhecido como problema médico-social importante, sendo objeto de extensa investigação quanto aos seus determinantes, abordagens diagnosticas e formas de prevenção e tratamento. Dentro dos fatores que podem alterar a função cerebral, encontra-se a desnutrição. Os autores discutem a associação da síndrome com o estado nutricional de uma população de escolares.The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common childhood syndrome that is recognized as an important medical-social problem, being the object of an exhaustive investigation related to its etiology, diagnostic approach and prevention, and treatment forms. Among the factors that can alter the cerebral function, is the malnutrition. The authors discuss the association of the syndrome with the nutritional condition of students from elementary schools

Uso de fármacos na síndrome de hiperatividade com déficit de atenção Use of drugs in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

A sindrome de hiperatividade com déficit de atenção (SHDA) constitui distúrbio comum na infância, podendo advir de fatores exógenos ou endógenos, os quais são responsáveis por comprometimento cerebral, manifestando-se por alterações funcionais dos sistemas motores, perceptivos, cognitivos e do comportamento, comprometendo a aprendizagem de crianças com potencial intelectual adequado. Os autores estudam a ação de fármacos estimulantes e antidepressivos na SHDA, usando como parâmetro de eficácia as provas de persistência motora.<br>Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurological disorder which is common in the childhood and can be caused by exogenous and endogenous factors, that are responsible for cerebral disorder. This disorder presents a functional alteration of the motor, perceptive, cognition systems and conduct disorders compromising the learning of children with an adequate intellectual potential. The authors study the action of stimulants and antidepressive drugs in the ADHD, using as measure of efficacy the motor persistence tests

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
