Valoración objetiva del estilo de crianza y las expectativas de parejas con niños pequeños

The purposes of the present study were to determine the frequency of parenting styles in couples with same style versus different style, to analyze differences between these groups, and to explore their parental expectations. A demandingness-responsiveness model was chosen, and it was operationalized by means of an objective measure of discipline and nurturing practices. In the study participated 485 couples with young children. Results revealed more indulgent parents in couples with the same style. Among parents who didn't share parenting style, there were more authoritarian mothers and more authoritative fathers. Authoritative couples, with the exception of indulgent couples, had more nurturing practices and the highest developmental expectations among styles and groups. This study highlights the need of more Latin-American research

Zimmermann-Laband syndrome: Further clinical delineation

Zimmermann-Laband syndrome: further clinical delineation: Zimmermann-Laband syndrome (ZLS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by gingival fibromatosis, absent or dysplastic distal phalanges, vertebral defects, hepatosplenomegaly, hypertrichosis and sometimes mental retardation. We describe two unrelated patients, a girl aged 9 years and a boy 11 months whose clinical and radiological findings permit us to diagnose the ZLS. Body overgrowth, present in both patients, was identified as a main clinical feature not previously reported as well as the presence in neuroimaging studies of a cavernous hemangioma on the frontal and the left cerebellar regions in the boy. The girl also presented important radiological characteristics such as broad medulary canals and metaphyses of long bones, thin cortices, broad ribs, accelerated skeletal maturation as well as high intelligence level. A wide clinical spectrum in ZLS is also considered
