Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o perfil comportamental e a competência social de crianças e adolescentes, filhos de mulheres com esquizofrenia, e compará-los com crianças da mesma faixa etária e sexo, filhos de mulheres sem transtorno mental grave. Para a avaliação das crianças e adolescentes foram utilizados o Inventário de Comportamentos para Infância e Adolescência (Child Behavior Checklist- CBCL) e o Inventário de Comportamentos Auto-Referidos para Adolescentes (Youth Self Report- YSR). Os filhos de mulheres com esquizofrenia apresentaram maior proporção de problemas de internalização e de problemas com o pensamento, principalmente para as crianças que moravam com a mãe com esquizofrenia, quando comparados a crianças e adolescentes do grupo comparativo com mães sem transtornos mentais / The objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior profile and social competence of children and adolescents of schizophrenic mothers, and compare it with children of the same age and gender of mothers without any severe mental disorder. To evaluate children and adolescents the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Youth Self Report (YSR) were used. The children of schizophrenic mothers had a higher proportion of internalizing problems and of thought problems, mostly for children living with their schizophrenic mothers, when compared to children and adolescents of mothers without any psychiatric disorder

There is an accumulating body of evidence suggesting that being raised in a non-intact family may adversely affect child outcomes across a number of developmental domains. There are nevertheless questions re: interpretation for a number of methodological reasons ranging from conceptualization of exposure to analytic approach. Given the dynamic nature of family life for some children today, changes in family structure may need to be captured in a more comprehensive manner. The scientific question is how capturing dynamics of family structure can be achieved. Data were drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY), an ongoing longitudinal population survey following cohorts of Canadian children from infancy to adulthood across a number of domains of health and well-being. The sample comprised individuals aged 11-14 in cycle five of the NLSCY. We examined different approaches to conceptualizing and modeling the effect of the family structure effect based on previous studies in this area and from the lifecourse epidemiological literature. We examined the effects of current family structure, previous family structures, trajectories of family structure, and change in family structure on externalizing and internalizing behavior in pre-adolescence. We found that the validity of each approach was largely dependent on the specific research question at hand, with each one having its own advantages and disadvantages. Main methodological findings included confounding of the current family structure effect by previous experience, collinearity among family structure main effects, and low analytic power for trajectories. Guided by a conceptual diagram of the underlying causal structure, we also considered the time-varying nature of family income and employment status of the primary household respondent using inverse probability weighting to estimate the causal parameters of a marginal structural model. In one of our most sophisticated conceptualizations of family structure effects, we found that recent change in family structure had a statistically significant effect on the odds of externalizing behavior, OR (95% CI) = 2.95 (1.73-5.02). Overall, our substantive findings were tempered by methodological caveats, which have important implications for future studies in the area and for broader issues related to data collection, study design, and analysis.

No primeiro artigo nós revisamos diversas pesquisas sobre alterações do sono em crianças com Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) com ou sem o tratamento com psicoestimulantes. No segundo artigo fizemos revisão de prontuários de 50 crianças e adolescentes com idade de 4 a 17 anos e consecutivo diagnóstico de TDAH sem diagnóstico de retardo mental ou transtornos invasivos do desenvolvimento. Resultados: estudos do sono têm sido realizados e anormalidades durante o sono como Síndrome das Pernas Inquietas (SPI), Movimentos Periódicos dos Membros Durante o Sono (MPMS), Distúrbios Respiratórios do Sono (DRS) podem ser responsáveis por muitos sintomas de TDAH. Crianças com distúrbios de sono nos primeiros meses de vida foram associados com desenvolvimento de sintomas de TDAH ainda na infância. Foram encontradas associações significativas entre alterações do sono e farmacoterapia (p<0,01), comorbidade (p<0,01) e maior aderência ao tratamento prescrito para sintomas de TDAH (p<0,05). Conclusões: avaliação de distúrbios do sono deve ser considerada antes de iniciar tratamento farmacológico para TDAH porque os critérios diagnósticos baseados no DSM-IV ou CID-10 não diferenciam entre crianças com ou sem distúrbios do sono. O conhecimento sobre os distúrbios do sono pode trazer uma nova oportunidade de tratamento para algumas crianças com TDAH. Serão necessárias novas pesquisas para clarear a relação entre distúrbios do sono e TDAH, ou os efeitos dos estimulantes no sono de crianças com TDAH.

In the first paper we review several researches about sleep disturbances in children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with or without psychostimulant treatment. In the second paper we performed a record review for 50 consecutive children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 years with ADHD who do not have mental retardation or pervasive developmental disorders. Results: sleep studies have been performed and abnormalities during the sleep such Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), Periodic Limbs Moviments in Sleep (PLMS), Sleep-Disorder Breathing (SDB) could be responsible for severe diurnal ADHD symptoms. Infants with sleep disorders were associated with development of ADHD in later childhood. Significant relationship were found between sleep disturbances and pharmacotherapy (p<0.01), comorbidity (p<0.01) and greatest adherence to treatment prescribed for symptoms of ADHD (p<0.05). Conclusions: evaluation of sleep disorders should be considered before starting drug treatment for ADHD because diagnostic criteria for ADHD based on DSM-IV or ICD-10 do not differentiate between children with or without sleep disorders. Assessment for sleep disorders may provide a new treatment opportunity for some ADHD children. Future researchs will need to clarify the relationship between sleep disorders and ADHD or the effects of stimulants on sleep de children with ADHD / Mestrado / Saude da Criança e do Adolescente / Mestre em Pediatria
