Este livro inclui mais de 140 protocolos de urgencia em Pediatria, convenientemente divididos por areas. A terceira edicao foi atualizada e todos os protocolos foram reformulados. Os protocolos estao divididos por 16 capitulos que cobrem todas as areas da urgencia pediatrica desde a reanimacao e falencia de orgao, ate urgencias de adolescentes, cardiologicas, cirurgicas, dermatologicas, endocrinas, gastrenterologicas, hematologicas, infeciosas, metabolicas, nefrologicas, neonatais, neurologicas, respiratorias e trauma. Inclui ainda um capitulo sobre procedimentos.Onze anos depois da 1A edicao, depositamos agora nas vossas maos a 3A edicao do Livro Azul dos Protocolos de Urgencia em Pediatria. Nestes anos deixou de ser uma referencia local, expandiu-se de norte a sul do pais e chegou mesmo aos PALOPs. Ja vao longe os primeiros passos deste livro. Agora, quase adolescente, cresceu muito: dos 98 protocolos iniciais passou a ter agora 142.O objectivo continua a ser, como no principio, facultar, sobretudo aos jovens medicos na area da Pediatria, uma ferramenta de consulta facil, com informacao resumida e filtrada que lhes possa ser util, nas circunstancias, especialmente dificeis e muitas vezes angustiantes, da urgencia.Nao pode, contudo, deixar de ser realcado que a Medicina nao se exerce por decreto e que, por isso, nunca devem os protocolos ser encarados como um dogma. Constituem orientacoes gerais, que terao, necessariamente, de ser adaptadas a cada doente concreto, pois, como todos sabemos, os doentes nao vem nos livros.O conhecimento medico tem aumentado de forma exponencial, o que nos obriga a um esforco sempre acrescido de separar o essencial do acessorio. Esse foi o desafio que colocamos aos colaboradores desta edicao, especialistas nos varios temas abordados.A todos agradecemos a forma competente e entusiastica como participaram.Esperamos que continue a ser o instrumento util que tem sido e aguardamos os comentarios, criticas e sugestoes dos leitores, para que a proxima edicao possa preencher ainda mais as necessidades daqueles a quem se destina.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder. Previously, it was considered a disorder that affected children only. Recently, however, there is no doubt that ADHD can affect adults as well, but with different clinical presentation. Thus, it is critical to understand how the clinical picture of the disorder changes with development. Traditional ADHD diagnostic procedures are broadening and incorporating new entities like endophenotypes. Comorbidity is a rule, especially if ADHD is not recognized and treated early. New genetic studies bring deeper and more concise knowledge about the disorder’s etiology. This book addresses these aspects of ADHD to bring about more clarity and understanding of the disorder.

This book presents an overview of the work of the most important Psychology researchers in Brazil, contributing to the internationalization of the discipline and fostering cross-cultural approaches in the field. Over the last two decades, Psychology research has experienced an enormous growth in Brazil, which has placed the country among the ten nations with the highest scientific output in the area. A big part of this output, however, remains inaccessible to the majority of the international community because it’s mainly published in Portuguese. This book intends to overcome this barrier, presenting a highly relevant sample of the best Psychology research produced in Brazil to those who are unable to read in Portuguese. In each chapter, a top Brazilian researcher is invited to present a summary of his/her main contributions to the field. The result is a rich overview of the main areas in which Brazilian psychologists have concentrated their work over the last decades, such as Developmental Psychology, Community Psychology, Educational and School Psychology, Evolutionary Psychology, Health Psychology, History of Psychology and Social Psychology. By putting together such a wide array of topics, Psychology in Brazil – Scientists Making a Difference offers a rich overview of the research in the country to psychologists, educators and social scientists in general interested in cross-cultural approaches within the Behavioral Sciences.
