    Aims: Two specific objectives were established to quantify computer task performance among people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). First, we compared simple computational task performance between subjects with DMD and age-matched typically developing (TD) subjects. Second, we examined correlations between the ability of subjects with DMD to learn the computational task and their motor functionality, age, and initial task performance. Method: The study included 84 individuals (42 with DMD, mean age of 18 +/- 5.5 years, and 42 age-matched controls). They executed a computer maze task all participants performed the acquisition (20 attempts) and retention (five attempts) phases, repeating the same maze. A different maze was used to verify transfer performance (five attempts). The Motor Function Measure Scale was applied, and the results were compared with maze task performance. Results: In the acquisition phase, a significant decrease was found in movement time (MT) between the first and last acquisition block, but only for the DMD group. For the DMD group, MT during transfer was shorter than during the first acquisition block, indicating improvement from the first acquisition block to transfer. In addition, the TD group showed shorter MT than the DMD group across the study. Conclusion: DMD participants improved their performance after practicing a computational task however, the difference in MT was present in all attempts among DMD and control subjects. Computational task improvement was positively influenced by the initial performance of individuals with DMD. In turn, the initial performance was influenced by their distal functionality but not their age or overall functionality.

    Pain characterization in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
    (Assoc Arquivos Neuro- Psiquiatria, 2016) da Silva, Talita Dias [UNIFESP]; Massetti, Thais [UNIFESP]; de Mello Monteiro, Carlos Bandeira; Trevizan, Isabela Lopes; Arab, Claudia [UNIFESP]; Caromano, Fatima Aparecida; Voos, Mariana Callil; Bulle Oliveira, Acary Souza [UNIFESP]; Favero, Francis Meire [UNIFESP]
    Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder, characterized by progressive muscle weakness. Historically, pain has not been considered to be a major symptom in DMD. Objective: To investigate the relationship between DMD and pain. Methods: We conducted a systematic review in Medline/PubMed and BVS (virtual library in health) databases. We searched for articles that showed the terms "Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne" and "Pain" in all fields. All studies included boys diagnosed with DMD and the occurrence/amount of pain on this population. Results: Initially, there were 175 studies. 167 articles were excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria. The remaining eight eligible studies, involving pain assessment in DMD, were analyzed. Conclusion: Pain is a frequent problem in this population and this symptom is potentially tractable. Studies conclude that pain can directly influence the quality of life of this population.

    Apesar Do Avanço Exponencial Nas Últimas Décadas, Principalmente Nos Campos Da Genética, Neurofisiologia E Neuroimagem, A Neurologia Ainda É Uma Das Formas Mais Difíceis Para Os Profissionais Da Saúde. O Aumento Da Longevidade Da População E, Consequentemente, Da Afecção Neurológica, Não É Anulado Pelo Aumento Do Número De Profissionais Especializados Em Neurologia. Percebe-Se, Assim, O Quão Grande É A Responsabilidade Das Instituições De Ensino Em Relação Ao Conhecimento De Todas As Faculdades. A Publicação De Um Questionário De Neurocirculose, Publicado No Periódico Neurology Infantil, Foi Publicado No Journal Of Infantile. This Att One Not Attained, Também Translated By The Diagnosis Of Diagnosis Of Neurological Diseases, Such As A Comissio Non A Treatment, Recovery And Has Been Correctation Of Patients Needed.
