Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder characterized by below-average intellectual capacity with slow physical and psychomotor development. The objective of this study was to identify the implications of playing sports (football) on the gross motor skills compromised in adolescents with Down síndrome (SD). A qualitative approach was used, through a multiple case study methodology, with descriptive scope, the instrument applied was the semi-structured interview and direct observation, with a sample of eight participants with Down syndrome who attended a headquarters of the National Athletic Club. It was found that the gross motor skills compromised in adolescents with 'DS' were: balance, coordination and strength, flexibility and agility, spatial-temporal perception, as difficulties were observed in performing initial locomotion-type, manipulative and stable movements. It was concluded that it is important to have sports intervention programs for the population with 'DS' to overcome and compensate for the limitations present in their motor skills, and also to expand the knowledge of specialists in the different sports fields as an opportunity to promote motor development. from a pedagogical approach, in accordance with the special needs that are essential at an early age.

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common autosomal aneuploidy and the leading cause of intellectual disability of genetic origin worldwide. It is identified as a syndrome in which the variability of its clinical manifestations and the severity of its phenotype have a multifactorial origin. Worldwide prevalence ranges between 1 per 700 live births and several factors that may be involved in the origin of DS have been proposed. Our objective was to describe updates regarding risk factors in the cytogenetic origin or cause of DS. We conducted a narrative review study in which a literature search was carried out from January to June 2022 in databases such as PubMed, EBSCO, Medigraphic, ClinicalKey, and meta-search engines such as Elsevier and Evidence Alerts. Only articles published in the last 10 years in English and Spanish were included. The search terms used were: Down syndrome, risk factors, prevention. Although DS is a very common chromosomal pathology worldwide, there is no single risk factor at the origin of meiotic or mitotic nondisjunction of chromosome 21, but rather each of the associated risk factors contributes to a greater or lesser degree to a cytogenetic predisposition in the etiology of trisomy 21. During the review it was identified that the main established risk factor associated with DS is still advanced maternal age (≥ 35 years). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present text is constituted with an exploratory research with case study, about the theme of storytelling in Early Childhood Education involving the telling teacher and a child with Down Syndrome of the infant IV in time of Pandemic. Through Children’s Literature, the subject has contact with other cultures, travels without leaving the classroom, expands their knowledge and opens cognitive possibilities. It allows children to socialize around a story, the fantastic world of make-believe. Thus, this work sought theoretical subsidies of the Historical-Cultural Theory and Dialogism to address the subject, observing the contributions of storytelling to the integral development of children with Down Syndrome. It also covers the concept of Children’s Literature, how it evolved, how discursive engagement and participation in storytelling are important for children, since it has a dialogical and discursive character, expanding oral language and enabling integral, meaningful and formative learning for children.

Background: Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality, it is associated with a wide variety of con-genital heart defects, being considered as clinical elements of high infant morbidity and mortality. Objective: To describe the clinical outcomes of patients with Down syndrome undergoing surgery and interventionism as treatment for congenital heart disease at this Institution. Material and methods: 368 patients with Down syndrome and associated congenital heart disease were diagnosed. The variables studied were weight, stature, sex, age, type of heart disease, corrective procedure, length of stay in the hospital and intensive care unit, morbidity and mortality. Results: 368 pediatric patients underwent surgical or interventional correction. Of which 197 (54%) were female, the median age was 24 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 14-48) in the surgical group and 36 months (IQR: 17-85) in the interventional group. The most frequent congenital heart diseases were: PCA (31%), IVC (28%), CAV (20%), ASD (16%) and tetralogy of Fallot with 4% respectively. Hospital stay was 9 days (IQR: 7-15) in the surgical group and 3 days (IQR: 2-5) in the hemodynamic group. Morbidities were postoperative infection in 30 patients (14%) and complete atrioventricular block in 19 patients (9%). Overall mortality in-cluding both surgical and interventional was 2%. Conclusions: The therapeutic, surgical and interventional results in children with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease have improved very satisfactorily. The lower prevalence of the atrioventricular canal in the Mexican population is noteworthy. It is essential to carry out a cardiological evaluation of chil-dren with Down syndrome and those with congenital heart disease to correct them in a timely manner to promote survival and quality of life.

Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality in the entire world. Lung disease represents 54% of hospital admissions in pediatric patients and has a wide spectrum of presentation, ranging from respiratory tract infections to developmental abnormalities such as pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary lymphangiectasia, lymphoid inters titial pneumonia, other interstitial lung diseases, and subpleural cysts. The following is the case of a patient in the second decade of life with trisomy 21 and a history of congenital heart disease. In his tomographic study of the chest, the pulmonary parenchyma with a diffuse polished glass pattern and multiple subpleural cysts is evident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction and objective: Trisomy 21 is the most frequent chromosomal alteration and, because of the increase in life expectancy, requires more specialized care. Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) manifestations are a dominant focus of morbidity. Hearing problems are more common when compared to the rest of the population and can impact educational and social development, affecting their quality of life. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of the otological and auditory follow-up of children with Down syndrome (DS), evaluated in the ENT Department of the Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid (HCUV). Method: Prospective/retrospective longitudinal study of 83 children with DS who attended consultation for childhood hearing loss between 1993 and 2021. Results: We detected 66% of external ear malformations. Middle ear pathology was present in 93%. Hearing loss was found in 61%, being bilateral in 78%. Of those diagnosed, 87% were mild/moderate and 6% were profound. Mixed hearing loss was the most frequent type, followed by sensorineural hearing loss. ENT surgery was performed in 62%, with adenoidectomy being the most frequent. Discussion: ENT follow-up recommended for children with DS is a difficult task to organize, as it is necessary to develop specific planning to make it possible in our public health system. Conclusions: Given the frequency and important repercussions of hearing impairment in children with DS, early identification and indefinite follow-up is essential to try to promote their correct development.

Background. The lockdown during the first wave of COVID-19 in Spain has been related to higher levels of anxiety in the general population. However, the emotional impact on Spanish caregivers of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) has not been studied so far. Methods. An online questionnaire was distributed to Spanish organisations providing support to individuals with NDD and their families. Data from caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (N = 17), Down syndrome (DS) (N = 25) and Williams syndrome (WS) (N = 18) were analysed. Results. All caregivers reported concerns directly related to the pandemic and lockdown situation. Caregivers of individuals with ASD showed higher level of concern about the possibility of family conflict. All three groups reported higher levels of anxiety during the lockdown. Anxiety was predicted by previous anxiety disorder and the child's diagnosis. Conclusions. Predictors of anxiety in caregivers of individuals with NDD differ from those previously reported in the general Spanish population. The results suggest that confinement in Spain was especially demanding for families of individuals with ASD. Public policies should consider the particular needs of people with NND and their caregivers to minimise the negative consequences of the ongoing pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reflecting from the lived experience, being this a vehicle for the construction of knowledge, has been fundamental to carry out this text. It is derived from a part of my doctoral research, it is simply a provocation to let out issues such as masculinity, fatherhood and pediatric violence, which were emerging with a different type of writing and in a revealing way. With the aim of doing an exercise in ekphrasis through a description of a very intimate personal photograph, I have allowed myself to make this reflection from the perspective of evocative autoethnography. Using layered storytelling, where collection and analysis are done simultaneously. I make use, on the one hand, to discipline, outside of my training as a health professional, but understanding at the same time that this way of building knowledge from a personal experience to understand a cultural experience involves me, not just an act of vulnerability before the unknown, but a lot of learning, where the deconstruction and re-construction has been permanent.

Introduction: Patients with trisomy 21 have a higher risk for congenital anomalies including congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. The association between Prune Belly Syndrome and Down Syndrome has been described but the occurrence of both conditions would likely represent a coincidence. There are few published reports on renal transplantation in patients with this syndromes. Clinical Case: We reporte a 5-year-old female patient with antenal diagnosis of down syndrome. Post-natal abdominal ultrasound revealed megabladder and dysplastic kidneys. At five months of age, she was commenced on peritoneal dialysis. The patient underwent renal transplantation at age of 3. Acute thrombosis of transplanted renal artery was diagnosed, resulting in graft loss. Four months after second transplantation, the patient presented bilateral tonsillar enlargement and a post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder was diagnosed. Conclusion: We describe the existence of these conditions in a single patient who underwent kidney transplantation, it's clinical manement and follow up. This case has been reported with the hope of contributing to the existing knowledge which pertains to kidney transplantation patients with Down syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Congenital heart diseases are the most common congenital disorders in the world population, they generally manifest after birth. Altitudes between 2,500-3,500 meters above sea level have been linked to the high incidence of congenital heart diseases such as patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septum defects, and ventricular septum defects. Objetives: To characterize clinically and sociodemographically the patients diagnosed with congenital heart disease from low, moderate and high altitudes in a regional hospital in Colombia. Methodology: Observational, descriptive retrospective study. All patients under 18 years of age with a diagnosis of congenital heart disease, treated at the San Rafael de Tunja University Hospital between 2015 and 2021, were included. Results: 51.9% of the patients were male, 16.3% had a history of prematurity and 9.1% had a diagnosis of Down syndrome. The most frequent heart diseases were: persistent ductus arteriosus 35.1%, followed by ventricular communication representing 21.6% and intra-atrial communication with 19.7%). Conclusions: They must eestablish strategies such as screening and timely diagnosis of congenital heart disease in at-risk populations in order to improve the life prognosis of patients and the outcome of the disease.

We present a case of disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis with extensive manifestation in a pediatric patient with Down syndrome. The case was confirmed by parasitological and immunological tests. The species was identified as Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP). The immune deficit that occurs as part of Down syndrome may have been the reason for the aggressive and prolonged clinical manifestations as well as the poor response to stibogluconate and deoxycholate amphotericin. The patient was treated with liposomal amphotericin B and at the end of therapy, showed clinical improvement of the lesions. This report highlights the challenges of the diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis in immunosuppressed pediatric patients, especially under difficult social, economic and geographic conditions. Leishmaniasis should be considered as a differential diagnosis when treating atypical chronic dermatologic ulcers; the use of liposomal amphotericin in immunocompromised patients should also be considered in these cases.

People with Down syndrome often struggle to achieve socio-emotional skills, facts that directly affect their self-esteem and everyday decision-making, impacting negatively their personal and social development. Teaching socioemotional competencies is a way to deal with such effects, however, educational alternatives adapted and directed to this population are limited. This paper analyzes the characteristics and contributions of some programs focused on emotional education and emotional intelligence promotion for the Down syndrome population. Our results suggest that such programs have beneficial effects on the population studied. Nevertheless, it is necessary to continue strengthening the research and application of those programs and the construction of standardized instruments to measure their effects. Inclusion and overall development of people with Down syndrome will be reinforced by the consolidation of socio-emotional competencies programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the municipality of Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, there is a high degree of ignorance about cognitive functional diversity, by generating a social problem, which raises barriers and prevents the inclusion of people in this condition. Thus, the problem of labor inclusion for people with functional diversity arises from the lack of knowledge of this condition, from the wrong perception of their capabilities, from the educational deficiencies regarding labor competencies and from the lack of governmental intervention in the dissemination of public policies for inclusion. Finally, strategies are proposed under the triple helix innovation model to achieve effectiveness in the inclusive processes of social, educational, and labor insertion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: to describe the epidemiological characteristics of chromosomal abnormalities and congenital malformations in Cochabamba. .Methods: 166 patients with suspected chromosomal abnormalities referred from hospitals in Cochabamba were included in the study. Each patient underwent a medical history, physical examination, and chromosomal analysis using a peripheral blood sample. Results: Of the 166 patients studied, 79 (48%) had normal chromosomal results and 87 (52%) had some chromosomal abnormality. The most common abnormality was Down syndrome (34%), followed by Turner syndrome (11%), Edwards syndrome (2%), trisomy 22 (1%), Klinefelter syndrome (1%), deletions (2%), or marker chromosome 5 (1%). The distribution of patients between 0 and 1 year of age with congenital dysmorphism was as follows: 10% of newborns up to 7 days, 20% of neonates between 8 and 28 days, and 70% of infants from 28 days to one year. Within this group, confirmed chromosomal abnormalities were found in 43 patients (62%) and normal chromosomal results in 26 (38%). The average age of parents of children with Down syndrome was over 40 years, while for other syndromes it was under 30 years. Conclusions: The most frequent chromosomal disorders were Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Edwards syndrome. Most chromosomal results were complete or free of alteration in the different syndromes. The mother's and father's age and the number of abortions appear to be risk factors for Down syndrome, and for Turner syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Taking as a starting point my personal and professional experience, within the framework of writing and the autoethnographic analysis that I have developed, as the object of study for my doctoral thesis. I have compiled some relevant lived situations that have been there. Some of them, obvious and others hidden in time, that have allowed me to now free myself to question myself as a man, a professional and as a father, thus becoming the root of a part of my doctoral thesis work. Training and dedicating myself as a neonatal nurse, in addition to the experience of being the father of a child with Down Syndrome, has enabled me to provide support to families of newborns diagnosed with Down Syndrome, through my own experience. In this narration I show the possible interactions that can arise between a family and health professionals in a difficult situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: living sexuality and affectivity fully is fundamental in every human being, however, people with Down syndrome (DS) have few instances of sexual education and few spaces for socialization to experience it. Objectives: describe the knowledge that young people with DS have on basic issues of puberty, relationships and reproduction. Methodology: qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study in two focus groups of young people with DS, between 13 and 18 years old, separated by gender. The information was recorded, coded according to categories. Results: regarding the word "sexuality", the women declared that they had not heard it and the men referred to "sex", "couple relationships", "love" and "family". For "pubertal changes", both groups reported the most visible changes, but nothing regarding reproduction. Only one participant understood the concept of "sexual relationship". Women considered the "beginning of human life" as a spontaneous generation event and the men came up with a fanciful theory. The family was the main source of information. Discussion: participants showed deficient and infantilized handling of information. Research and development of Sex Education programs are urgent to dignify the sexuality and affectivity of people with DS, from a rights' perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the novel "El río del Edén" by José María Merino, focusing on the classical and modern ironies present in the story of the characters Daniel and Tere. Three stages of their lives are explored: a camping trip, the period before the birth of their son Silvio, and the consequences of his medical condition on his parents. The ironic perspectives of classical philosophers such as Socrates and Cicero, as well as contemporary philosophers like Kierkegaard and Robbe-Grillet, are used. The notions of eiron vs alazon, dissimulation, humor, and incoherence are theoretical tools used to analyze irony in the novel. In this novel, the concepts of laughter, irony, and rhetoric are explored through the characters of Tere and Daniel. Tere represents the realistic stance of accepting change and transformation in life, while Daniel seeks to immobilize time and live in a fictional eternity. Tere uses her cunning to appease Daniel's discomfort and reaffirm her unconditional love. Through irony and dissimulation, the search for truth and how the characters handle reality are addressed. The text discusses Tere's concealment of information, which has caused the separation of her family and the deterioration of communication with Daniel. Tere hid information about the family's genetics and created an ideal world in which her son would not have Down syndrome. After the birth of their son, Tere implemented methods of dissimulation and sublimation to make the world accessible to him. After Tere's death, Daniel continued with these methods to allow his son to adapt to new situations. The text analyzes the irony present in the novel "El río del Edén" by José María Merino. It highlights how the character of Silvio, despite his limited reasoning, plays a fundamental role in the separation and subsequent reunion of his parents. Silvio becomes a reminder of the affections that united Daniel and Tere, and his presence triggers a series of memories in Daniel. Although tragic irony prevails in the story, the presence of Socratic irony in the relationship between Silvio and his father is also observed. Ultimately, the protagonist, Daniel, accepts his destiny and commits to taking care of his son as Tere taught him. [Extracted from the article]

Children with Down syndrome demonstrate delays in verbal vocal behavior. An effective intervention for the development of different skills is that based on Applied Behavioral Analysis (aba). The purpose of the study was to evaluate an early intervention implemented by parents based on aba on the development of verbal vocal behavior in children with Down syndrome. Participants were two kids 6-10 months old. For each participant an individual functional curriculum was developed. The results suggest that the procedure was effective in the development of verbal vocal behavior in both participants. The results provide further evidence supporting the use of aba to teach verbal skills in children with Down syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents several poster summaries related to different topics. One of the posters focuses on individual and family resilience in young people with intellectual disabilities during the pandemic. Another poster analyzes the skills acquired by young people with intellectual disabilities after completing a post-obligatory program at university and their access to employment. It also addresses the perception of the need for cognitively accessible neighborhoods by businesses near the Down Syndrome Castellón. Finally, it mentions how future teachers are improving the digital accessibility of their presentations through universal design for learning. [Extracted from the article]

Ever-increasing social inclusion, normalisation and progress made in research have significantly contributed to improving the life expectancy of those with Down syndrome (DS) and have seen them take on a more active and fuller role within all areas of society. For decades, the all-encompassing view of the syndrome meant that issues relating to mental health and psychological well-being were often overlooked, hidden under the guise of intellectual disability. It is within this context that scientific publications on the topic since 1930 through to 2020 have been reviewed in order to: 1) examine the research available which, based on individual differences, analyses the progress made and changes in terms of how DS is seen, and based on this perspective, 2) research the prevalence and clinical symptoms of dual diagnosis involving DS in children and teenagers. Based on the conclusions of this review, the need for professionals and families to acknowledge the existence of and accept dual diagnosis is apparent, something which would allow for early diagnosis and psychological intervention appropriate for the individual's needs.

The objective of the study was to identify the types of studies and the most investigated topics in the population with Down syndrome in Chile and to describe the type of sample used and the age range during the period from 2011 to 2020. A documentary study was carried out (systematic review). The Scopus database was used to search for information. The key words used were: Down Syndrome and Chile. The period was 2011 to 2020. The information was recorded on an observation sheet. Thirty studies were identified. A total of 56,7 % (n = 17) were descriptive (cross-sectional) studies, 10,0 % (n = 3) were experimental studies. The study topics mostly cover social issues (8 studies) and anthropometric aspects (7 studies), followed by physiological, psychological, hematological, biomechanical, prenatal tests and sleep disorders. The age range of the sample used by the studies ranges from prenatal to 28 years and the sample size ranges from one to 1922 participants. The results of the study suggest the urgent need to develop experimental and longitudinal studies, the inclusion of middle-aged and older adults, as well as prenatal samples, to explore issues related to physiological, psychological, hematological, biomechanical variables and prenatal diagnostic tests, since they are relevant to the independence and autonomy of people with Down syndrome.
