RESUMEN

Este artículo se basa en el reconocimiento de la importancia del concepto de Desarrollo Juvenil Positivo (PDJ), así como en la verificación de su relativamente escasa difusión y aplicación en contextos deportivos, en particular en lo que respecta a los países de habla portuguesa. En este sentido, procurando promover su difusión y sugerir posibles investigaciones e intervenciones en esta área, se desarrolló un análisis de lo que se ha publicado al respecto en las principales revistas internacionales de ciencias del deporte y la psicología social, en relación a cuatro temas fundamentales: i ) como empezó el movimiento DPJ ii) el movimiento DPJ en el Deporte iii) los principales programas de DPJ en el Deporte iv) ¿Cómo evaluar el impacto de los programas de DPJ en el Deporte?. De este análisis surge esencialmente que DPJ, mientras comparte algunos principios y objetivos con la Psicología Positiva, se configura como un movimiento autónomo y potencialmente muy útil para el desarrollo de los jóvenes, sobre todo en contextos deportivos. Más, se ha hecho evidente en los últimos años el aumento del número de programas en este campo, con resultados prometedores, sin embargo es necesario el desarrollo de metodologías y herramientas más robustas y sofisticadas para evaluar su impacto real sobre el desarrollo de los jóvenes, así como para ayudar a entender mejor los mecanismos por los cuales se procesa el DPJ (AU)

This article is based on the recognition of the importance of Positive Youth Development (PYD) as a concept, while also highlighting its still relatively scarce dissemination and application in sporting contexts, particularly in Portuguese-speaking countries. In this sense, seeking to promote its dissemination and to suggest possible research and intervention in this field, an analysis was conducted of what has been published on the subject in major international sporting science and social psychology journals, in relation to four key issues: i ) how the DPJ movement began ii) the PYD movement in Sport iii) major PYD programmes in Sport, and iv) how to evaluate the impact of PYD programmes in Sport. Basically, what emerges from this analysis is the fact that while PYD shares some principles and objectives in common with Positive Psychology, it is an independent movement that is potentially very useful in the development of young people, particularly in sporting contexts. Moreover, over the past years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of programmes in this field that have achieved promising results, although more robust sophisticated methodologies and instruments must be developed to assess its real impact on the development of young people as well as helping to offer a better insight into the mechanisms through which PYD is processed (AU)

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy has been shown to be efficient for the treatment of non-communicating hydrocephalus. However, it is not recommended as the first option in the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus in children under 3 months of age, because the success rate is less than 35%. METHODS: We reviewed all the cases of triventricular hydrocephalus treated between 2007 and 2011 in patients under 1 month of age in the case of normal term births or under 1 month of corrected age, in the case of pre-term births. The first treatment option was endoscopic fenestration and a restriction of cranial volume during the two months after surgery. RESULTS: Ten patients under 1 month of age underwent 13 ventriculostomies for non-communicating hydrocephalus of varying etiology (suprasellar arachnoid cyst (3), stenosis of the Sylvian aqueduct (2), post-infectious meningitis (3), and intrauterine bleeding (2)). Three required surgical endoscopic revision at 3, 4, and 5 months, respectively, after the initial surgery due to progressive ventricular enlargement. One of these three patients presented with Klebsiella pneumoniae ventriculitis as a complication after the second endoscopy. After a mean follow-up of 32 months, none has required a shunt. CONCLUSIONS: In our limited experience in triventricular hydrocephalus in patients under 1 month, the third ventriculostomy technique may be a better option than the shunt in selected cases.
