Effects of emotional valence and three-dimensionality of visual stimuli on brai...

BACKGROUND: Examining changes in brain activation linked with emotion-inducing stimuli is essential to the study of emotions. Due to the ecological potential of techniques such as virtual reality (VR), inspection of whether brain activation in response to emotional stimuli can be modulated by the three-dimensional (3D) properties of the images is important. OBJECTIVE: The current study sought to test whether th...

Empatia na relação médico-doente: evolução em alunos do primeiro ano de Medicin...

Introdução e Objectivos: A empatia é um elemento fundamental da relação médico-doente, havendo evidência da sua associação a melhores resultados clínicos. Contudo, alguns estudos têm sugerido uma diminuição dos níveis de empatia, no decurso da formação pré-graduada em Medicina ou da prática clínica continuada. Neste estudo pretendemos analisar, em alunos do primeiro ano de um curso de Medicina, a evolução das a...

Inadequate utilization of prenatal care in two Brazilian birth cohorts

Data for two birth cohorts from two Brazilian municipalities, Ribeirão Preto in 1994 and São Luís in 1997/1998, were used to identify and compare factors associated with inadequate utilization of prenatal care and to identify factors capable of explaining the differences observed between the two cities. Prenatal care was defined as adequate or inadequate according to the recommendations of the Brazilian Ministr...

The scope of preserved procedural memory in amnesia

The finding that patients with amnesia retain the ability to learn certain procedural skills has provided compelling evidence of multiple memory systems in the human brain, but the scope, defining features and ecological significance of the preserved mnemonic abilities have not yet been explored. Here, we tested the hypothesis that subjects with amnesia would be able to learn and retain a broad range of procedu...

Dinâmica populacional de quatro espécies de Dysdercus (Hemiptera, Pyrrhocoridae...

The food cycle and geographical variation of Dysdercus diet were studied as strategy elements of trophic resources exploitation. The species used were D. fulvoniger, D. maurus, D. mendesi and D. ruficollis. A random sampling method was adopted at two regular sampling areas (Vassouras and Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). The places sampled only once were selected based on the potential migration of Dydercus. Va...

Variação morfométrica e demográfica em Phaleria testacea Say (Coleoptera, Teneb...

The species Phaleria testacea Say, 1824 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) varies a lot in size, and its populations along the coast of Brazil, where it lives buried in sandy beaches, have temporal and geographical variation in density. In order to find out which factors were contributing to these variations, we sampled populations from three different areas in Rio de Janeiro, during summer and winter. Simultaneously,...
