Sitting Acquisition and Early Communication Development: Are There Associations in Very Preterm Infants at Six Months of Corrected Age?

Background: Research in typically and some atypically developing populations showed associations between early motor and communication development, documenting how postural development can support communicative advancements. However, these relations have scarcely been investigated in the preterm population. Aims: The present study aimed to describe motor (gross and fine motor) and communication (receptive and expressive) skills of very preterm infants at six months of corrected age and their associations, focusing on sitting posture achievement and early vocal production. Methods: Seventy very preterm infants (≤32 weeks) with no major brain injuries were assessed with the BSID-III for gross and fine motor skills, receptive and expressive language skills, and cognitive skills and were categorized as mastering (sitters), partially mastering (emerging sitters), or not mastering (non sitters) unsupported sitting. The proportional duration of sitting postures (caregiver supported, arms supported, and unsupported) in an observative section was coded with the Interact software (version 20.8.3.0). Frequency per minute of vocal utterances (vocalizations, babbling, and total) during a parent-infant play interaction was coded with the CHILDES software v11. Results: Correlational analyses showed significant positive associations between motor composite score and language scores (composite and expressive scaled) and between gross motor and expressive language scaled scores but a negative association between arms supported sitting duration and vocal utterances. In addition, ANCOVAs showed that sitters had significantly higher BSID-III expressive language scaled scores and vocal utterances than non sitters and emerging sitters. Conclusions: These findings brought new evidence linking early motor and vocal development in very preterm infants, emphasizing the importance of using observational tools alongside standardized ones to identify developmental delays and plan tailored intervention programmes.

Screening for language development of preterm infants: relationship between two assessment instruments

ABSTRACT Purpose: to associate two screening instruments used to assess global and language development of preterm infants. Methods: a study including 69 children aged 0-24 months of corrected age, premature at birth, who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Researchers used an anamnesis and two protocols: Early Language Milestone Scale (ELM) and Observation and Monitoring Guide for Children from 0-48 months of age. According to the categorical and numerical variables, the protocols were associated with each other through descriptive percentages and non-parametric statistical tests, such as the Chi-square, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis test and multiple correspondences (p<0.05). Results: a significant relationship was found between the Guide and the ELM, since the “not expected for the age” classification was associated with delayed/pathological classification in the Guide, while “expected” results were related to “adequate”. There was also a relationship between the percentile of both instruments, as the higher the Guide value, the higher the ELM values (ELM-R=0.564; p=0.000), suggesting that both protocols complement each other in the evaluation results. Conclusion: the protocols for the assessment of language acquisition in children showed to be complementary, providing a complete assessment and relevant data on the development of preterm infants.

Development of speech and hearing skills in prematures adequate and small for gestational age: chronological age between 18 and 36 months

PURPOSE

This study aimed to identify whether the development of hearing abilities in the first year of life is related to the development of language in preterm neonates with chronological age between 18 and 36 months, verifying if the language performance varies according to the weight/gestational age ratio.

METHODS

Retrospective and longitudinal study approved by the Institution's Ethics Committee. The sample consisted of 66 preterm infants of both sexes, aged 18-36 months, divided into two groups: AIG Group 39 neonates with weight appropriate to the gestational age, 26 with normal hearing and 13 with altered hearing; and PIG group 27 neonates small for gestational age, 18 with normal and 9 with altered hearing. Results from the development of auditory skills in the first year of life and evaluation of the reception, expression and total of language (Menezes, 2003) were obtained from neonatal follow-up records. We used the ANOVA and the Equality Test of Two Proportions as statistical procedures.

RESULTS

In each group, we observed a significant difference in the Reception and Total language in children with normal and altered auditory development. Children with normal hearing development presented a higher percentage of language adequacy. The language performance did not differ in relation to the weight / gestational age adequacy.

CONCLUSION

Changing auditory abilities in the first year of life interfered more in language development than the gestational age / weight ratio.

Association between gestational age and birth weight on the language development of Brazilian children: a systematic review

OBJECTIVE

To review the literature that addresses the relationship between prematurity, birth weight, and development of language in Brazilian children.

SOURCES

A systematic review of studies published between 2003 and 2012 in English and Portuguese and indexed in PubMed, LILACS, and SciELO. The following key words were used in the searches: Prematuro, Prematuridade, Linguagem, Prematurity, Language, Speech-Language Pathology. Fifty-seven articles were retrieved, 13 of which were included in the systematic review.

SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS

The results showed an association between prematurity, low birth weight, and language development. In studies that made comparisons between preterm and term infants, there was evidence that preterm infants had poorer performance on indicators of language. It was also observed that children born with lower birth weight had a poorer performance on measures of language when compared to children with higher weight and closer to 37 weeks of gestational age. Regarding the type of language assessed, expression proved to be more impaired than reception. Higher parental education and family income were indicated as protective factors for the development of language. Conversely, lower birth weight and higher degree of prematurity emerged as risk factors.

CONCLUSIONS

Preterm birth and low birth weight poses risks for the language development of children, especially in the first years of life. Therefore, it is essential that pediatricians are aware of the language development of these children to ensure proper treatment.

Impact of physiotherapy on neuromotor development of premature newborns

Introduction The population of children born prematurely has increased in line with improving the quality of perinatal care. It is essential to ensure to these children a healthy development. Objective We evaluate the neuromotor development of a group of preterm infants regularly assisted by a physiotherapy service in comparison to full-term newborns, checking, so the impact of the service. Materials and methods We randomly assigned preterm and full-term infants that formed two distinct groups. The group of preterm infants was inserted into a monitoring program of physiotherapy while the other infants were taken as a control group not receiving any assistance in physiotherapy. The groups were compared using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) at forty-week, four and six months of corrected gestational age and the scores were compared using Student's t-test, assuming a significance level of 5% (p < 0.05). Results The preterm group had significantly lower scores at 40th week compared to the control group, but subsequent scores showed no significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion The timely and adequate stimulation was efficient to promote the motor development of premature infants included in a follow up clinic.

Language in children with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

Introduction Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (NHIE) is a common neurologic injury, and it may compromise the child's language and cognition. Understanding the process of language acquisition becomes possible with concise knowledge about children's global development. Objective The aim of this study was to observe if language acquisition and development are impaired in children with NHIE. Methods Seventy children with NHIE from 1 to 24 months old were analyzed in a Pediatric Neurology Service of Hospital of Porto Alegre, South of Brazil using the Brunet-Lezine Scale. Statistical analysis used SPSS 13.0 software. Results Twenty-four (60%) of the subjects were boys, with mean gestational age of 35.8 weeks (standard deviation of 4.6) and mean Apgar score of 6.0 at 1 minute and 7.1 at 5 minutes. The variables age versus language showed significant inverse correlation (r =  - 0.566; p = 0.028). As the subjects aged, language tasks became more specific and dependent on the subject's direct action, rather than the subjective interpretation of their guardian. This correlation seems to be closely associated with scale configuration and with consequences of neurologic disorder, evincing the delays in language development. Conclusion This study achieved the goals proposed and highlights the necessity of greater attention by professionals to language skills during the initial period of child development.

Habilidades comunicativas de crianças prematuras e prematuras extremas

Objetivo comparar o desempenho das habilidades comunicativas, de crianças nascidas prematuras, prematuras extremas e típicas de idade cronológica entre dois e três anos. Métodos participaram do estudo 72 crianças distribuídas em quatro grupos: 20 prematuros (GE-I), 16 prematuros extremos (GE-II) e 36 crianças com desenvolvimento típico (GC-I e GC-II), de idade cronológica entre dois a três anos. Houve pareamento quanto à idade cronológica e sexo. A avaliação constou da aplicação do Protocolo de Anamnese e Observação do Comportamento Comunicativo. O tratamento estatístico constou do Teste “t” Student e do Teste de Mann-Whitney (p ≤ 0,05). Resultados na comparação entre os grupos de prematuros e típicos (GE-I e GC-I e GEII e GC-II), quanto às habilidades comunicativas verificou-se diferenças significantes, apesar da heterogeneidade no desempenho dos prematuros e prematuros extremos. Na comparação entre os prematuros (GE-I e GE-II) não foram observadas diferenças significantes, entretanto, GE-I obteve desempenho superior em todas as categorias, exceto para a categoria uso de gestos. As categorias de menor ocorrência para GE-I foram: respeitar troca de turno, participar e manter atividade dialógica. Para o GE-II foram: participar e manter atividade dialógica, realizar ordens complexas, iniciar e respeitar troca de turno, funções de informar, oferecer e produzir frases. Conclusão houve diferenças significantes no desempenho comunicativo das crianças prematuras e prematuras extremas, quanto comparadas às crianças típicas, mas não houve diferenças significantes na comparação entre os prematuros. Apesar dos resultados indicarem que os grupos de prematuros tendem ao atraso no desenvolvimento das habilidades comunicativas, os grupos não demonstraram ser homogêneos.

Caracterização eletrofisiológica da audição em prematuros nascidos pequenos para a idade gestacional

OBJETIVO: Caracterizar as respostas do Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Tronco Encefálico em recém-nascidos pré-termo pequenos para idade gestacional, comparando-as às de recém-nascidos pré-termo adequados para idade gestacional, verificando se a condição de pequeno para a idade gestacional é indicador de risco para alteração auditiva retrococlear. MÉTODOS: Estudo multicêntrico transversal prospectivo. Avaliou-se 72 recém-nascidos pré-termo, 35 pequenos e 37 adequados para idade gestacional de ambos os gêneros, com idade gestacional de 30 a 36 semanas e avaliados na pré-alta hospitalar, com presença de emissões otoacústicas evocadas por estímulo transiente e timpanometria tipo A. A análise quantitativa dos dados foi feita baseada na média e desvio-padrão das latências das ondas I, III, V e interpicos I-III, III-V, I-V para cada grupo. Para análise qualitativa, os resultados dos potenciais evocados auditivos foram classificados em alterado ou normal mediante a análise das latências absolutas das ondas I, III, V e dos interpicos I-III, III-V, I-V, considerando-se a faixa etária no momento do exame. RESULTADOS: Evidenciaram-se alterações em 32 crianças (44,44% do total), sendo 15 recém-nascidos pequenos (43%) e 17 adequados (46%), não havendo diferença entre os grupos. Dos 15 recém-nascidos pequenos com potencial evocado auditivo alterado, seis tiveram como risco auditivo apenas o fato de ser pequeno para a idade gestacional. No grupo adequado para idade gestacional, houve maior ocorrência de alterações no gênero masculino. CONCLUSÃO: Não houve diferença nas respostas do potencial evocado auditivo entre os recém-nascidos pré-termo pequenos e adequados, de forma que a condição pequeno não se revelou risco para alteração retrococlear.

Gestural development and its relation to language acquisition in very preterm children

This longitudinal study examined the development of communicative gesture in 16 preterm children and two groups of full term children at 12, 18 and 24 months of age. Children's spontaneous communicative gestures were analyzed during mother-child observation sessions. Preterm children's motor, mental and linguistic development were also measured. The development of gestural communication did not significantly differ between the groups except for the use of gesture-plus-word combinations at 18 and 24 months, when full term children produced significantly more combinations than preterm children. For preterm children, the production of pointing at 12 months was positively associated with lexical skills at 24 months as was the use of gestures-plus-word utterances at 18 months with morphosyntactic skills at 24 months. Our analyses also revealed a subgroup of preterm children characterized by a low birth-weight and mental scores who demonstrated an enduring increase in communicative gesture production over time. This profile could be associated with later delays in language acquisition.

Electrophysiological study of hearing in full-term small-for-gestational-age newborns

PURPOSE: To describe the Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP) results of full-term small-for-gestational-age newborns, comparing them to the results of full-term appropriate-for-gestational-age newborns, in order to verify whether the small-for-gestational-age condition is a risk indicator for retrocochlear hearing impairment. METHODS: This multicentric prospective cross-sectional study assessed 86 full-term newborns - 47 small- (Study Group) and 39 appropriate-for-gestational-age (Control Group - of both genders, with ages between 2 and 12 days. Newborns with presence of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and type A tympanometry were included in the study. Quantitative analysis was based on the mean and standard deviation of the absolute latencies of waves I, III and V and interpeak intervals I-III, III-V and I-V, for each group. For qualitative analysis, the BAEP results were classified as normal or altered by analyzing these data considering the age range of the newborn at the time of testing. RESULTS: In the Study Group, nine of the 18 (38%) subjects with altered BAEP results had the condition of small-for-gestational-age as the only risk factor for hearing impairments. In the Control Group, seven (18%) had altered results. Female subjects from the Study Group tended to present more central alterations. In the Control Group, the male group tended to have more alterations. CONCLUSION: Full-term children born small or appropriate for gestational age might present transitory or permanent central hearing impairments, regardless of the presence of risk indicators.

Desenvolvimento motor de crianças prematuras e a termo: uso da Alberta Infant Motor Scale

OBJETIVOS: Comparar o desenvolvimento motor de crianças nascidas pré-termo e a termo aos quatro e seis meses de idade, aplicando a Alberta Infant Motor Scale-AIMS na versão brasileira. MÉTODOS: Estudo longitudinal, comparativo, realizado em Fortaleza-Ceará, entre novembro/ 2009 e maio/2010. amostragem por conveniência, foi constituída por 24 crianças pré-termo e 24 a termo. RESULTADOS: Nas crianças de quatro meses, verificou-se diferença estatisticamente significante na posição em pé (p=0,014) e, nas de seis meses, em todas as posições (prono, supina, sentada, em pé) e escores totais. Quanto ao percentil, aos quatro e seis meses, respectivamente, 37,5% das crianças pré-termo mostraram desempenho excelente e 54,2%, normais. CONCLUSÃO: A análise estatística do desempenho motor grosso entre os grupos de crianças estudadas mostrou diferenças no desenvolvimento e evolução dos percentis da AIMS.

Avaliação da função auditiva receptiva, expressiva e visual em crianças prematuras

TEMA: prematuridade como fator de risco para atraso no desenvolvimento da linguagem. OBJETIVO: verificar o desempenho de crianças prematuras quanto às áreas auditiva receptiva, expressiva e visual. MÉTODO: participaram da amostra 40 crianças de idade cronológica entre 12 e 24 meses. O grupo experimental (G1) foi composto por 20 crianças que apresentaram em seu histórico de vida os fatores de risco prematuridade e baixo peso ou muito baixo peso. A idade gestacional das crianças variou de 22 a 34, semanas todas com peso abaixo de 2500g; este grupo foi dividido em função do peso, ou seja, crianças de baixo peso e de muito baixo peso. O grupo controle (G2) foi composto por 20 crianças nascidas a termo com peso superior a 2500g, sem histórico para atraso do desenvolvimento. Os procedimentos constaram de entrevista com os pais e aplicação da Escala Early Language Milestone Scale (ELM). RESULTADOS: na comparação entre grupos, os resultados mostraram ser estatisticamente significativos. As crianças do G1 apresentaram prejuízo na área auditiva expressiva, auditiva receptiva e visual, embora algumas crianças tivessem apresentado resultados esperados para sua faixa etária, em alguma das funções avaliadas. A área mais prejudicada foi a área expressiva. CONCLUSÃO: as crianças do G1 apresentaram alteração nas áreas auditiva receptiva, auditiva expressiva e visual. As crianças prematuras com muito baixo peso apresentaram maiores prejuízos nas áreas avaliadas.

Language and cognition in very low birth weight preterm infants with PELCDO application

The performance of very low birth weight preterm infants, in terms of cognition and expressive language, was analyzed and compared with that of term infants with the Protocol for Expressive Language and Cognition Development Observation (PELCDO). The study involved 12 very low birth weight preterm infants and 20 term infants, all of whom were evaluated monthly. Sessions were videotaped, and data were analyzed according to this specific protocol. Our results suggest that cognition and expressive language develop significantly later in very low birth weight preterm infants than in the term. We found positive correlations for cognitive and expressive language development, the delay becoming more evident after 6 months of age, persisting through the sensorimotor period, and continuing into the beginning of preoperational period, indicating the importance of follow-up evaluation, defining the true needs of such infants and identifying the ideal moment for speech-language intervention.

Verbal recognition of infants with cleft lip and palate with and without history of risk indicators for hearing loss

The first two years of life are critical for the acquisition and development of hearing and speaking skills.

AIM

This prospective study aims to verify the performance of infants with cleft lip and palate (CLP) with and without risk factors for hearing (RFH) in the verbal recognition test (VRT).

MATERIAL AND METHOD

The parents of 100 infants (9 to 18 months of age) with CLP were interviewed to investigate the presence of RFH and to sort out the characteristics of the study groups. All infants underwent VRT.

RESULTS

Otologic diseases, lack of breastfeeding, parental smoking, upper airway insufficiency, stay in an incubator, and family history of hearing impairment were the most frequent RFH. Eighty-five infants had RFH, among which 40% had altered VRT results; fifteen did not have any RFH and 73% performed as expected for their age range in the VRT. There was no significant difference (p=0.326) between groups. Fifty-four infants had history of otitis media (OM), among which 31% had altered VRT results; forty-six had no history of OM and performed as expected for their age range in the VRT; Statistically significant difference (p=0.000) was found.

CONCLUSION

Other risk factors for hearing aside CLP were found. Infants with and without history of RFH performed similarly in the VRT. The presence of otologic diseases significantly interfered with the VRT.

Construção da permanência do objeto em crianças nascidas pré-termo muito baixo peso

OBETIVO: descrever e comparar o processo de construção da permanência do objeto entre crianças com histórico de prematuridade e muito baixo peso e crianças nascidas a termo com desenvolvimento típico. MÉTODOS: participaram deste estudo 22 crianças, sendo 8 crianças nascidas pré-termo e muito baixo peso (grupo pesquisa - GP) e 14 crianças nascidas a termo (grupo controle - GC). Os sujeitos foram submetidos a avaliações mensais de cognição e linguagem, contendo a avaliação da noção de permanência do objeto. Todas as sessões foram registradas em vídeo e transcritas em protocolo específico. As crianças de ambos os grupos foram avaliadas dos 6 aos 12 meses, sendo considerada para o GP, a idade corrigida. Os dados foram analisados de forma quantitativa e qualitativa. RESULTADOS: observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante entre os dois grupos para todas as fases da construção da permanência do objeto, evidenciando o atraso (uma média de 2 a 3 meses de atraso) no desenvolvimento cognitivo, apresentado pelo GP, em relação ao GC, durante o período sensório-motor. CONCLUSÃO: os resultados reforçam a idéia de que as crianças nascidas pré-termo e muito baixo peso apresentam risco para alterações ou atrasos no desenvolvimento cognitivo e de linguagem, justificando a elaboração de programas de intervenção fonoaudiológica junto a essas crianças, já durante o primeiro ano de vida.

Peso de nascimento como preditor para a gravidade da lesão da substância branca cerebral neonatal

Para analisar a associação entre fatores natais com a gravidade da lesão da substância branca (LSB) cerebral neonatal, controlando o peso de nascimento, identificaram os neonatos pela ultra-sonografia craniana, que foram divididos em: aqueles com evolução da LSC para resolução da imagem ao ultra-som (menor gravidade) e, aqueles que evoluiram com formação de cistos e/ou ventriculomegalia e/ou hemorragia (maior gravidade). Doze variáveis (hiponatremia, anemia, infecção, retinopatia, displasia broncopulmonar, hipoalbuminemia, persistência do canal arterial, audiometria alterada, desconforto respiratório precoce, peso de nascimento <2500g, peso por categoria e prematuridade) tiveram diferenças entre os dois grupos (p<0,05), sendo que 9 (hiponatremia, infecção, retinopatia, hipoalbuminemia, persistência do canal arterial, desconforto respiratório precoce, baixo peso, prematuridade e peso por categorias) se mantiveram estatisticamente diferentes (p<0,01) após análise por regressão logística. Quando analisadas por categoria de peso de nascimento, nenhuma variável demonstrou significância estatística. O estudo sugere que o peso de nascimento é o maior fator - provavelmente o único - associado com gravidade da LSB cerebral neonatal.

Rezeptive und produktive Sprachentwicklungsleistungen frühgeborener Kinder im Alter von zwei Jahren

Zusammenfassung. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war eine standardisierte Bestimmung des Sprachentwicklungsstands frühgeborener Kinder im Alter von 2 Jahren. Stichprobe: 39 Frühgeborene (geb. 1999) ohne schwere neurologische Auffälligkeiten, die postnatal im Rahmen eines neonatologisch erbetenen Konsils zur Hördiagnostik an die Abt. Phoniatrie/Pädaudiologie am Universitätsklinikum Göttingen überwiesen und als normalhörig befundet worden waren (Click-BERA). Mittl. Gestationsalter: 30,46 Wochen (Min 25, Max 34), mittl. Geburtsgewicht: 1342,18 g (Min 390, Max 2590 g). Methode: Entwicklungsanamnese und Sprachentwicklungstest für 2-jährige Kinder (SETK-2; Grimm, 2000 ), Ergebnisdarstellung in T-Werten (T-W; M = 50, SD = 10). Ergebnisse: Der Sprechbeginn erster Worte war kaum (durchschnittlich mit 14,7 ± 3,8 Monaten), der Beginn der 2-Wort-Kombination etwas verzögert (durchschnittlich mit 21,2 ± 4,3 Monaten). Die durchschnittlichen Leistungen im SETK-2 lagen fast alle im Normbereich. Wortverstehen war am besten ausgebildet (T-W: 52,7 ± 12,7), gefolgt vom Satzverstehen (T-W: 48,1 ± 12,4) und von der Wortproduktion (T-W: 43,6 ± 12,9). Die Satzproduktion dagegen lag deutlich unter der Altersnorm (T-W: 37,9 ± 9,8). Biologische Parameter der Frühgeburt wie Gestationsalter oder Geburtsgewicht korrelierten nicht signifikant mit den SETK-2-Ergebnissen. Extremgruppen-Vergleiche nach biologischer Risikobelastung zeigten keine signifikanten Unterschiede in den Sprachleistungen, hingegen bzgl. des Zeitpunkts des freien Laufens und der 2-Wort-Kombination für die Gruppen mit extrem niedrigem Geburtsgewicht bzw. extrem niedrigen Gestationsalter. Subgruppenvergleiche (Jungen vs. Mädchen, Einzelkinder vs. Geschwisterkinder, Kinder von Müttern mit niedrigem vs. hohem Bildungsabschluss) deckten ebenfalls keine statistisch relevanten Unterschiede in den Ergebnissen des SETK-2 auf bis auf eine Ausnahme: Ältere Kinder (30-35 Monate alt) zeigten bessere Verstehensleistungen als jüngere. Fazit: Frühgeburtlichkeit geht nicht zwangsläufig mit geminderten Sprachentwicklungsleistungen im 2. Altersjahr einher, was die Komplexität von Entwicklungsleistungen betont. Deckeneffekte (Wortverstehen, Wortproduktion) wie auch ein Bodeneffekt (Satzproduktion) im SETK-2 können allerdings niedrige Korrelationen bewirkt haben.

Avaliação de alguns aspectos da aquisição e desenvolvimento da linguagem de crianças nascidas pré-termo

A correção da idade para avaliação motora de nascidos pré-termo tem sido consenso, o que não ocorre em outros domínios do desenvolvimento. Este estudo comparou indicadores da aquisição e desenvolvimento da linguagem, considerando-se as idades cronológica e corrigida. Foram acompanhadas por 1 a 15 meses 20 crianças hígidas nascidas entre 28 e 36 semanas (mediana 32s), com 800g a 2380g (mediana 1590g), sendo 9 adequado para a idade gestacional (AIG) e 11 pequenas para a idade gestacional (PIG). A referência de normalidade foi o roteiro de Costa et al. (1992), que contém cinco níveis de linguagem. Quanto aos comportamentos receptivos, já considerando-se a idade cronológica, houve desempenho normal em todos os níveis, exceto no nível I (0-3 meses). Em relação à linguagem expressiva, considerando-se a idade cronológica, das 50 avaliações, 6 (12%) foram normais. Com a correção da idade, em 16 avaliações (40%) as crianças adequaram-se ao nível esperado, sendo mais freqüente a adequação aos 6 e 12 meses. Considerando-se a idade cronológica, houve maior número de AIG com desempenho normal (p<0,05). Com o uso da metodologia de Costa, não foi necessário corrigir a idade para avaliação da linguagem receptiva e, para a expressiva, a freqüência maior de resultados normais nas idades corrigidas para 6 e 12 meses sugere intensificação de vigilância nestas idades.
