article 4 Citação(ões) na Scopus Alcohol consumption in adolescence: A literature review(2017) VALIM, G. G.; SIMIONATO, P.; GASCON, M. R. P.Objective: The main goal of the present study was to analyze the scientific production about teenage alcohol consumption. Data sources: Literature review conducted in September 2016 by searching the SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences) database, through the keywords: teenager and alcoholism; adolescence and alcoholism; teenager and alcohol; adolescence and alcohol. The inclusion criteria adopted for sample selection were: scientific papers that addressed alcohol consumption in adolescence, as well as abusive use of the substance, fully available electronically, written in Portuguese and published in Brazil between 2006 and September 2016. The exclusion criteria adopted were: scientific papers at odds with the topic of investigation, published in another language and countries, other life phases rather than adolescence, and papers about the use of another substances. Data synthesis: 24 articles that fit the inclusion criteria were found. Conclusion: Alcohol consumption is occurring more and more precocious and has negative consequences and risk behavior. As an attempt to stop this abusive consumption in this population, the present study suggests more parental control, awareness campaigns, more efficient public policy regarding control and supervision of publicity and sale of alcohol. © 2017, Nucleo de Estudos da Saude do Adolescente. All rights reserved.- Cognitive impairment is frequent among symptomatic carriers of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), regardless of their clinical status(2017) GASCON, M. R. P.; CASSEB, J.; SMID, J.; VIDAL, J. E.; FONSECA, L. A. M.; PAIVA, A.; HAZIOT, M. J.; OLIVEIRA, A. C. Penalva deThe main goal of this study was to investigate the presence of cognitive impairment in patients infected with HTLV-1 presenting or not TSP/HAM. Methods: Cross-sectional study including 104 participants: 37 asymptomatic HTLV-1 carriers, 37 patients diagnosed with TSP/HAM and 30 HTLV-1 negative control patients. Within the HTLV-1 positive group, 53 were female and 21 were male, the average age was 46 (SD = 13.5) and the average schooling time was 7.7 years (SD = 3.3).The sociodemographic variables (genre, age and education) were compared between the three groups. The assessment tools used were: Beck Depression Inventory, Lawton's Activities of Daily Life Scale and a complete neuropsychological battery. The application of these assessment tools was carried out in blind. Both HTLV-1 asymptomatic subjects and HAM/I'SP patients showed a lower performance on neuropsychological tests and higher depression scores when compared to the control group. HTLV-1 patients performed poorly in several cognitive domains, but only fluid intelligence, estimated intellectual functioning, immediate and delayed recall of visual memory and information processing speed (in the specific case of patients with TSP/HAM) reached statistical significance when compared with controls. Depression was not associated with cognitive impairment. HTLV-1 carriers presented a higher frequency of cognitive impairment than normal controls.
