25. Treinamento de cuidadores familiares de idosos de alta dependencia em acompanhamento domiciliario
This study assessed the effects of a training program given to familiar carers for high dependent elderly in home care program. Out of 56 carers, 47 were woman (21 daughters, 19 mives, four daughters-in-law and three grandchildren). From the 9 male carers, 7 were husbands and 2 were sons. They took part in na 8-week socio-educacional training program, in whi

26. Um ingles no sitio de Dona Benta : estudo da apropriação de Peter Pan na obra infantil Lobatina
This thesis is a study of the presence of Peter Pan, by James Barrie, in the texts for children by Monteiro Lobato. The process of appropriation and adaptation by Monteiro Lobato of James B arrie s character consists, first, of an adaptation (Peter Pan, 1930), in which Dona Benta tells the story of the foreign character to her grandchildren. Second, there ar

27. Clinical and ultrastructural observations in a kindred with normo-hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis.
Electron microscopic studies of muscle biopsies from clinically unaffected sibs in a family with normo-hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis with variable myotonia have revealed dilatation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum similar to that observed in affected members. This supports the view that such dilatation is not only a significant and likely primary ultrastruct

28. Abnormal muscle and skin mitochondria in family with myoclonus, ataxia, and deafness (May and White syndrome).
A mother and two of her daughters had deafness and cortical reflex myoclonus; the mother also had mild truncal ataxia. Muscle and skin biopsy specimens revealed abundant ragged-red fibres and abnormal mitochondria. The son of one of the daughters had sensorineural deafness. Three other grandchildren were asymptomatic. The two daughters also had diabetes mell

29. A three generation family study of cleft lip with or without cleft palate.
A family study of cleft lip, with or without cleft palate, was based on those treated by operation at The Hospital for Sick Children, London, between 1920 and 1939 in order to give information on the proportion affected of children and grandchildren. The probands were those who had survived, were successfully traced, and found to have had at least one child.

30. An overall genetic risk assessment for radiological protection purposes.
Risks of serious hereditary damage in the first and second generations after low level radiation exposure and at equilibrium were calculated by using a doubling dose of 100 rem (based on experimental work with the mouse) and by considering separately the various categories of genic and chromosomal defect. Prenatal lethality has not been included. It is estim

31. A family study of isolated cleft palate.
A family study was based on 245 boy and 329 girl patients treated surgically for non-syndromic cleft palate between 1920 and 1929; 86 and 81 respectively were traced and had had children. These 167 were the probands for the family study and were interviewed in their homes. None was born to a consanguineous marriage. Altogether they had had 384 children of wh

32. Expansion of an FMR1 Grey-Zone Allele to a Full Mutation in Two Generations
Fragile X Syndrome is caused by the expansion of an unstable CGG-repeat tract in the 5′-UTR of the FMR1 gene, which generally results in transcriptional silencing and consequent absence of the FMR1 protein. To date, the smallest premutation allele reported to expand to a full mutation allele in a single generation is 59 CGG repeats. Here, we report a singl

33. The Indirect Benefits of Mating with Attractive Males Outweigh the Direct Costs
The fitness consequences of mate choice are a source of ongoing debate in evolutionary biology. Recent theory predicts that indirect benefits of female choice due to offspring inheriting superior genes are likely to be negated when there are direct costs associated with choice, including any costs of mating with attractive males. To estimate the fitness cons

34. Contributions of past and present human generations to committed warming caused by carbon dioxide
We developed a highly simplified approach to estimate the contributions of the past and present human generations to the increase of atmospheric CO2 and associated global average temperature increases. For each human generation of adopted 25-year length, we use simplified emission test cases to estimate the committed warming passed to successive children, gr

35. Studying Parents and Grandparents to Assess Genetic Contributions to Early-Onset Disease
Suppose DNA is available from affected individuals, their parents, and their grandparents. Particularly for early-onset diseases, maternally mediated genetic effects can play a role, because the mother determines the prenatal environment. The proposed maximum-likelihood approach for the detection of apparent transmission distortion treats the triad consistin
