    Laryngoscopy evaluation protocol for the differentiation of essential and dystonic voice tremor
    (Assoc brasileira otorrinolaringologia & cirurgia cervicofacial, 2016) de Moraes, Bruno Teixeira [UNIFESP]; de Biase, Noemi Grigoletto [UNIFESP]
    Introduction: Although syndromes that cause voice tremor have singular characteristics, the differential diagnosis of these diseases is a challenge because of the overlap of the existing signs and symptoms. Objective: To develop a task-specific protocol to assess voice tremor by means of nasofibro-laryngoscopy and to identify those tasks that can distinguish between essential and dystonic tremor syndromes. Methods: Cross-sectional study. The transnasal fiberoptic laryngoscopy protocol, which consisted of the assessment of palate, pharynx and larynx tremor during the performance of several vocal and non-vocal tasks with distinct phenomenological characteristics, was applied to 19 patients with voice tremor. Patients were diagnosed with essential or dystonic tremor according to the phenomenological characterization of each group. Once they were classified, the tasks associated with the presence of tremor in each syndrome were identified. Results: The tasks that significantly contributed to the differential diagnosis between essential and dystonic tremor were /s/ production, continuous whistling and reduction of tremor in falsetto. These tasks were phenomenologically different with respect to the presence of tremor in the two syndromes. Conclusion: The protocol of specific tasks by means of transnasal fiberoptic laryngoscopy is a viable method to differentiate between essential and dystonic voice tremor syndromes through the following tasks: /s/ production, continuous whistling and reduction of tremor in falsetto.

    Machado na aula : em busca de signos e intercessores para a potencialização de experiências subjetivas no aprender
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2016-11-08) Silva, Lilian dos Santos [UNIFESP]; Carvalho, Alexandre Filordi de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The purpose of this research is to investigate Machado de Assis through the signs of his Literature as a potential factor for subjective experiences in learning. The hypothesis consists on showing that, upon experimenting the text of Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, its signs can work as intercessors, contributing to the fruition, reflection and creation of the students/readers. Thus, the aim is to outline possibilities of subjective experiences that the signs can raise, thinking of subjectivity components and processes of singularization. Therefore, the starting platform are the concepts of sign and intercessor, in the sense given to those terms by Gilles Deleuze, and the idea of subjective experiences, as the prospect of Felix Guattari. According to this theoretical framework, signs are pointed out in Machado´s novel from a reading experience, which has been affected, what means, from percepts and affects. The work Proust and Signs, by Deleuze, is also taken as a basis, considering the types of signs that he brings up in the novel In Search of the Lost Time, by Marcel Proust. The methodology is based on the sign that is taken on as the very intercessor element, not being the interpretation proposed a hermeneutics, which reveals the truth by the truth. Thus, it is possible to suspect that taking the thought of Machado de Assis can be a potent way for the student/reader to contact subjective experiences. Therefore, from Machado´s literary work, according to Deleuze's approach, the contribution of this research to the Philosophy of Education field takes place from an analysis of the potential use of signs as intercessors in learning, aiming students, readers and educators.
