“…Moreover, even if in most of the human societies infants do not grasp their mother but are rather held actively by her or a related person2627, touching the palm of a baby’s hand readily elicits a reflex called a “palmar grasp reflex” or “clinging reflex”. This reflex consist of the flexion of all the fingers around the elicitor’s finger followed by a clinging phase28. This reflex allows newborn primates to support their own weight for several minutes when holding onto a horizontal rod2930.…”

The origin and evolution of manual grasping remain poorly understood. The ability to cling requires important grasping abilities and is essential to survive in species where the young are carried in the fur. A previous study has suggested that this behaviour could be a pre-adaptation for the evolution of fine manipulative skills. In this study we tested the co-evolution between infant carrying in the fur and manual grasping abilities in the context of food manipulation. As strepsirrhines vary in the way infants are carried (mouth vs. fur), they are an excellent model to test this hypothesis. Data on food manipulation behaviour were collected for 21 species of strepsirrhines. Our results show that fur-carrying species exhibited significantly more frequent manual grasping of food items. This study clearly illustrates the potential novel insights that a behaviour (infant carrying) that has previously been largely ignored in the discussion of the evolution of primate manipulation can bring.

RESUMOObjetivo: Relatar a experiência do cuidado a um lactente com diagnóstico médico de alergia à proteína do leite de vaca no contexto da interdisciplinaridade. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo do tipo relato de experiência, realizado em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde de Caxias do Sul/RS. Foram desenvolvidas atividades de educação em saúde a partir de vínculo criado em um projeto interdisciplinar inserido nas práticas disciplinares de um estágio curricular em saúde coletiva de quatro cursos de Graduação, por meio do atendimento domiciliar em saúde. Resultados: Mediante a aplicação do conhecimento de diferentes áreas da saúde, foi possível avaliar e auxiliar em diversos aspectos, uma vez que a criança havia sido diagnosticada com alergia à proteína do leite de vaca, não aceitou aleitamento materno, vinha apresentando baixa ingesta de fórmulas alimentares específicas e sintomas característicos deste quadro clínico, acarretando em baixo peso para a idade. Após reunir orientações médicas e da equipe interdisciplinar, o bebê obteve melhoras satisfatórias quanto à sua alimentação e sintomas, refletindo positivamente em seu estado nutricional e na sua saúde em geral. Discussão: O trabalho interdisciplinar possibilitou um amplo olhar sobre a criança e sua família, unindo o conhecimento das várias áreas da saúde nas quais os estudantes estavam inseridos e ampliando o seu olhar para o cuidado integral do indivíduo. Conclusões: Durante as práticas do cuidado percebeu-se a importância do trabalho interdisciplinar, posto que esta metodologia segue os princípios e diretrizes do Sistema Único de Saúde e é capaz de agregar conhecimentos a todos os envolvidos.Palavras-chave: Equipe interdisciplinar de saúde.

As the sheer number of transgenic mice strains grow and rodent models of pediatric disease increase, there is an expanding need for a comprehensive, standardized battery of neonatal mouse motor tests. These tests can validate injury or disease models, determine treatment efficacy and/or assess motor behaviors in new transgenic strains. This paper presents a series of neonatal motor tests to evaluate general motor function, including ambulation, hindlimb foot angle, surface righting, negative geotaxis, front-and hindlimb suspension, grasping reflex, four limb grip strength and cliff aversion. Mice between the ages of post-natal day 2 to 14 can be used. In addition, these tests can be used for a wide range of neurological and neuromuscular pathologies, including cerebral palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative diseases, and neuromuscular disorders. These tests can also be used to determine the effects of pharmacological agents, as well as other types of therapeutic interventions. In this paper, motor deficits were evaluated in a novel neonatal mouse model of cerebral palsy that combines hypoxia, ischemia and inflammation. Forty-eight hours after injury, five tests out of the nine showed significant motor deficits: ambulation, hindlimb angle, hindlimb suspension, four limb grip strength, and grasping reflex. These tests revealed weakness in the hindlimbs, as well as fine motor skills such as grasping, which are similar to the motor deficits seen in human cerebral palsy patients.
