Purpose The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released guidelines for rehabilitation professionals regarding the care of children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Given that mTBI impacts millions of children each year and can be particularly detrimental to children in middle and high school age groups, access to universal recommendations for management of postinjury symptoms is ideal. Method This viewpoint article examines the CDC guidelines and applies these recommendations directly to speech-language pathology practices. In particular, education, assessment, treatment, team management, and ongoing monitoring are discussed. In addition, suggested timelines regarding implementation of services by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are provided. Specific focus is placed on adolescents (i.e., middle and high school–age children). Results SLPs are critical members of the rehabilitation team working with children with mTBI and should be involved in education, symptom monitoring, and assessment early in the recovery process. SLPs can also provide unique insight into the cognitive and linguistic challenges of these students and can serve to bridge the gap among rehabilitation and school-based professionals, the adolescent with brain injury, and their parents. Conclusion The guidelines provided by the CDC, along with evidence from the field of speech pathology, can guide SLPs to advocate for involvement in the care of adolescents with mTBI. More research is needed to enhance the evidence base for direct assessment and treatment with this population; however, SLPs can use their extensive knowledge and experience working with individuals with traumatic brain injury as a starting point for post-mTBI care.

Prosedur kontrol infeksi yang umum dilakukan adalah dengan menerapkan standard precautions berdasarkan peraturan yang dikeluarkan oleh Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan mahasiswa kepaniteraan klinik tentang standard precautions operator sebelum dan setelah perawatan gigi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survei deskriptif yang dilakukan dengan cara membagikan kuesioner pada mahasiswa kepaniteraan klinik yang terdiri atas 26 pertanyaan untuk sebelum dan 32 pertanyaan untuk setelah tindakan perawatan gigi. Data diolah secara manual dan dianalisis dengan analisis univariat. Hasil penelitian pengetahuan responden tentang standard precautions sebelum tindakan perawatan yang berpengetahuan kurang 69,8%, 29,3% cukup, 1% responden yang berpengetahuan baik. Setelah perawatan gigi didapat 54,5% responden memiliki pengetahuan cukup, 37,5% berpengetahuan baik, dan hanya 8% responden berpengetahuan kurang.

Objetivo: Verificar o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), os hábitos alimentares e as atividades de lazer em crianças e adolescentes participantes do Projeto Participe Esporte da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Metodologia: A pesquisa foi de caráter descritivo de delineamento transversal. A amostra foi constituída por 99 crianças e adolescentes de ambos os sexos, sendo 51 masculinos e 48 femininos, com idade entre 11 a 14 anos. Foram aplicados dois questionários para identificar os dados demográficos, hábitos alimentares e práticas de atividades no lazer. Para verificar o IMC, foram mensuradas a massa e estatura corporal (massa/estaura²), sendo utilizados para avaliar o IMC os critérios estabelecidos pelo Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2000). Resultados: Foi verificada uma prevalência de sobrepeso nos meninos (19,6%) quando relacionado às meninas (16,6%), já em relação à faixa etária, aos 13 anos foi identificado maior ocorrência do sobrepeso (23,3%) e obesidade (6,7%). Conclusão: Ficou evidenciado na verificação do IMC tanto pelo sexo quanto pela faixa etária, que as crianças e adolescentes foram classificadas como eutróficos.  De acordo com os hábitos alimentares das crianças e adolescentes, foi visto uma deficiência na ingestão de frutas e verduras, demonstrando hábitos considerados inadequados do ponto de vista qualitativo.
