Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) represent a heterogeneous spectrum of disorders, characterized by abnormal development of the cerebral cortex. Many MCDs are of genetic origin, although acquired factors can lead to similar phenotypes. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the diagnostic approach to MCD, illustrated with clinical vignettes.

Short course training, particularly in low-income settings, is rarely carefully evaluated. This study reports the findings, using a well-established evaluation framework, of 250 1-day paediatric epilepsy training courses delivered in 17 countries over 15 years. Participants conveyed high course satisfaction, demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge after the course, and reported positive changes in clinical practice 6 months later.

Bu derlemede önerilen Bobath pediatrik uygulama modeli olan Bobath Klinik Gerekçelendirme Çerçevesi (BKGÇ) tanımlanmakta ve bu bilginin pediatrik bozukluklarda habilitasyon alanına nasıl katkıda bulunduğu açıklanmaktadır.

Sistemler bilimi, serebral palsiyi karmaşık bir durum olarak kavramsallaştırmanın yeni bir yolunu sağlamaktadır. SP ile ilişkili değişkenlerin birbiriyle ilişkisi ve birbirleriyle bağlantıları hakkında bütüncül bir bakış açısını göstermek için BKGÇ'ye uygulanmıştır.

BCRF tarafından benimsenen sistemler bilimi modeli, SP'nin karmaşıklığını kapsayan ve daha nitelikli araştırmalara olanak sağlayacak kapsamlı bir çerçeve oluşturma konusunda ileriye dönük umut verici bir yoldur.

Esta revisão descreve um modelo de prática pediátrica recomendada do Bobath, o Quadro de Raciocínio Clínico Bobath (QRCB), e explica como esse conhecimento contribui para a área de habilitação em distúrbios pediátricos.

A ciência de sistemas proporciona uma nova maneira de concetualizar a paralisia cerebral como uma condição complexa. Ela foi aplicada ao QRCB para ilustrar uma perspetiva holística sobre a inter-relação e interconexão das variáveis associadas à PC.

O modelo de ciência de sistemas adotado pelo QRCB é uma forma promissora de construir uma estrutura abrangente que engloba a complexidade da PC e possibilitará pesquisas mais robustas.
