El desarrollo industrial del MERCOSUR: ¿Qué impacto han tenido las empresas extranjeras?

Durante los años noventa, el MERCOSUR y en particular Argentina y Brasil, fueron un importante polo de atracción de inversión extranjera directa (IED). Hoy, aunque en menor escala, el MERCOSUR continúa atrayendo importantes flujos de inversiones. las investigaciones cuyos resultados se presentan en este libro tratan de responder a interrogantes suscitados por la siguiente constatación: dada la magnitud actual de la presencia de esas empresas, la formulación de políticas para el desarrollo industrial y tecnológico no puede prescindir del análisis del papel que las empresas transnacionales desempeñan en la inserción externa de las economías del MERCOSUR y de su contribución potencial para el desarrollo en la región. Surge de las investigaciones un panorama complejo, que muestra que la presencia de empresas transnacionales en los países del MERCOSUR puede tener un impacto positivo si se aplicaran políticas adecuadas para fortalecer a las empresas nacionales, aumentando su capacidad de innovación y su competitividad.

Dysarthria in hereditary spastic paraplegia type 4

Objective: To describe the speech pattern of patients with hereditary Spastic Paraplegia type 4 (SPG4) and correlated it with their clinical data. Methods: Cross-sectional study was carried out in two university hospitals in Brazil. Two groups participated in the study: the case group (n = 28) with a confirmed genetic diagnosis for SPG4 and a control group (n = 17) matched for sex and age. The speech assessment of both groups included: speech task recording, acoustic analysis, and auditory-perceptual analysis. In addition, disease severity was assessed with the Spastic Paraplegia Rating Scale (SPRS). Results: In the auditory-perceptual analysis, 53.5% (n = 15) of individuals with SPG4 were dysarthric, with mild to moderate changes in the subsystems of phonation and articulation. On acoustic analysis, SPG4 subjects’ performances were worse in measurements related to breathing (maximum phonation time) and articulation (speech rate, articulation rate). The articulation variables (speech rate, articulation rate) are related to the age of onset of the first motor symptom. Conclusion: Dysarthria in SPG4 is frequent and mild, and it did not evolve in conjunction with more advanced motor diseases. This data suggest that diagnosed patients should be screened and referred for speech therapy evaluation and those pathophysiological mechanisms of speech involvement may differ from the length-dependent degeneration of the corticospinal tract

Progress toward standardized diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment: Guidelines from the Vascular Impairment of Cognition Classification Consensus Study

INTRODUCTION: Progress in understanding and management of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) has been hampered by lack of consensus on diagnosis, reflecting the use of multiple different assessment protocols. A large multinational group of clinicians and researchers participated in a two-phase Vascular Impairment of Cognition Classification Consensus Study (VICCCS) to agree on principles (VICCCS-1) and protocols (VICCCS-2) for diagnosis of VCI. We present VICCCS-2. METHODS: We used VICCCS-1 principles and published diagnostic guidelines as points of reference for an online Delphi survey aimed at achieving consensus on clinical diagnosis of VCI. RESULTS: Six survey rounds comprising 65-79 participants agreed guidelines for diagnosis of VICCCS-revised mild and major forms of VCI and endorsed the National Institute of Neurological Disorders-Canadian Stroke Network neuropsychological assessment protocols and recommendations for imaging. DISCUSSION: The VICCCS-2 suggests standardized use of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders-Canadian Stroke Network recommendations on neuropsychological and imaging assessment for diagnosis of VCI so as to promote research collaboration
