ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate a ludic strategy developed to promote the engagement of parents and caregivers in the pediatric patient safety actions. Method: A qualitative research developed in the action-research modality, using the thematic content analysis method for data treatment, developed with caregivers of children admitted to the pediatric unit of the public hospital of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, between May and October 2018. Results: Three thematic categories emerged: Learning about patient safety through the game; Game evaluation as a ludic strategy in promoting patient safety and; Change of perception and behavior of parents and caregivers in safety promotion actions. Conclusion: The game was deemed as an important tool for patient safety knowledge transfer, motivating parents and caregivers to become more critical and more co-participant as for the hospitalized child care.

Protein Transcription

Sex determination is controlled by global regulatory genes, such as tra-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans, Sex lethal in Drosophila, or Sry in mammals. How these genes coordinate sexual differentiation throughout the body is a key unanswered question. tra-1 encodes a zinc finger transcription factor, TRA-1A, that regulates, directly or indirectly, all genes required for sexual development. mab-3 (male abnormal 3), acts downstream of tra-1 and is known to be required for sexual differentiation of at least two tissues. mab-3 directly regulates yolk protein transcription in the intestine and specifies male sense organ differentiation in the nervous system. It encodes a transcription factor related to the products of the Drosophila sexual regulator doublesex (dsx), which also regulates yolk protein transcription and male sense-organ differentiation. The similarities between mab-3 and dsx led us to suggest that some aspects of sex determination may be evolutionarily conserved. Here we find that mab-3 is also required for expression of male-specific genes in sensory neurons of the head and tail and for male interaction with hermaphrodites. These roles in male development and behavior suggest further functional similarity to dsx. In male sensory ray differentiation we find that MAB-3 acts synergistically with LIN-32, a neurogenic bHLH transcription factor. Expression of LIN-32 is spatially restricted by the combined action of the Hox gene mab-5 and the hairy homolog lin-22, while MAB-3 is expressed throughout the lateral hypodermis. Finally, we find that mab-3 transcription is directly regulated in the intestine by TRA-1A, providing a molecular link between the global regulatory pathway and terminal sexual differentiation.

New Look

THE ARTICLE, "Anatomy is Destiny," by Dr. Ellen Rothchild in this issue is a reminder of the need to put into perspective the signs and symptoms of marked changes observable in the sexual attitudes and behavior of a significant segment of our adolescents. Since many of our younger generation appear to be displaying greater freedom about sexual matters and a changing sexual morality, this would seem an appropriate time for the pediatrician to take a new look at his role in dealing with developing sexuality in his patients. Pediatrics, in partnership with the schools and church, has been an active participant in bringing the problems around sexual development, adjustment, and maturity out of the shadows into the light where they could be included in discussions with parents and their children.

Specific Impact

Abstract Specific genetic syndromes affect individuals' sexual development, experiences, and fertility. Individuals with specific syndromes can also display inappropriate sexual behavior resulting from vulnerabilities presented by their genetic makeup. Using clinical case studies, we discuss the specific impact that Down, Prader–Willi, and Williams syndromes can have on sexual development and behavior. Applying a biopsychosocial approach, we present the primary sexual effects, such as delayed sexual development and infertility. These genetic syndromes are also associated with challenges that are not specifically sexual in nature but that affect sexual expression, such as self-injury, mental health issues, or epilepsy. Medication side effects are also discussed. We conclude with treatment recommendations for individuals with sexual challenges, considering the unique effects of these three syndromes on sexuality.

AbstractThe target article by Boyer & Petersen (B&P) contributes a vital message: that people have folk economic theories that shape their thoughts and behavior in the marketplace. This message is all the more important because, in the history of economic thought, Homo economicus was increasingly stripped of mental capacities. Intuitive theories can help restore the mind of Homo economicus.
