Virtual reality as a telerehabilitation strategy for people with autism spectrum disorder during the COVID-19 quarantine scenario: physical activity, motor performance and enjoyment.

Purpose: People with autism spectrum disorder could benefit from physical activity during the pandemic and COVID-19 restrictions, mainly to maintain adequate physical activity. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, enjoyment, and potential effect of telerehabilitation using a serious game named 'MoveHero'.

Materials And Methods: Registered in Clinical Trials (NCT04402034).

Maternal and neonatal variables associated with premature birth and low birth weight in a tertiary hospital in Ecuador.

Objective: To explore the maternal and neonatal factors associated with premature birth and low birth weight in an Ecuadorian tertiary hospital.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: The Calderón General Teaching Hospital (CGTH).

Attributable fraction of congenital syphilis due to the lack of prenatal care.

Introduction: Although congenital syphilis is preventable, its incidence has increased in Brazil.

Methods: In this ecological study, a Bayesian spatio-temporal model was used to estimate the attributable fraction of congenital syphilis cases due to the lack of prenatal care recorded between 2010 and 2015 in the state of São Paulo, Southeast Brazil.

Results: For the year 2016, it was estimated that between 79.

The Influence of Light Exposure in Ambiance during Pregnancy in Maternal and Fetal Outcomes: An Experimental Study.

Objective:  The aim of this study is to evaluate whether exposure to different environmental lighting conditions affects the reproductive parameters of pregnant mice and the development of their offspring.

Methods:  Fifteen pregnant albino mice were divided into three groups: light/dark, light, and dark. The animals were euthanized on day 18 of pregnancy following the Brazilian Good Practice Guide for Euthanasia of Animals.

Response of Preterm Infants to 2 Noninvasive Ventilatory Support Systems: Nasal CPAP and Nasal Intermittent Positive-Pressure Ventilation.

Background: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in preterm infants is currently applied using intermittent positive pressure (2 positive-pressure levels) or in a conventional manner (one pressure level). However, there are no studies in the literature comparing the chances of failure of these NIV methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of failure of 2 noninvasive ventilatory support systems in preterm neonates over a period of 48 h.

[Influence of body position on the displacement of nasal prongs in preterm newborns receiving continuous positive airway pressure].

Objective:: To evaluate the influence of body position on the displacement of nasal prongs in preterm infants.

Methods:: This prospective, randomized, crossover study enrolled infants born at a mean gestational age of 29.7±2 weeks, birth weight of 1353±280g and 2.

Inspiratory muscle training in a newborn with anoxia who was chronically ventilated.

Background And Purpose: Respiratory muscle training promotes weaning in patients who are dependent on mechanical ventilation. Respiratory muscles can be trained using linear inspiratory-resistive loads to improve their strength and endurance. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate that a therapeutic intervention consisting of a linear pressure load device facilitates ventilator weaning in an infant who is chronically ventilated.
