RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Specific language impairment. AIM: To establish relations between the performance of subjects in phonologic and pragmatic tests. METHOD: Tabulation and analyses of the data of phonologic and pragmatic tests of 20 children with ages raging from 3:0 to 5:11 years, with the diagnoses of Specific Language Impairment (SLI). RESULTS: The statistic analyses showed good correlations between developmental processes (DP) and non-developmental processes (NDP), DP and the use of verbal mean, vocal mean and number of communication acts per minute. CONCLUSION: The performance in the phonological and pragmatic tests does not seem to have a direct correlation in subjects with specific language impairment.
Tema: distúrbios específicos de linguagem. Objetivo: estabelecer relações a partir do desempenho dos sujeitos nas provas de pragmática e fonologia. Método: tabulação eanálise dos dados das provas de fonologia e pragmática de 20 crianças, com idade entre 3:00 e 5:11 anos, com diagnóstico de Distúrbio Especifico de Linguagem (DEL). Resultados:a análise estatística mostrou correlações boas e regulares entre processos de desenvolvimento (PD) e processos de não desenvolvimento (PnD), PD e meio verbal, meiovocal e atos por minuto. Conclusão: o desempenho nas provas de fonologia e pragmática parece não apresentar correlação estritamente direta nos sujeitos com DEL.

8 patients with bone marrow failure after a caesium-137 radiation accident were treated with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rHuGM-CSF). The 7 who were evaluable had prompt increases in granulocytes and bone marrow cellularity. 2 patients died of radiation toxicity and haemorrhage and 2 of bacterial sepsis acquired before the start of rHuGM-CSF treatment. 4 patients survive, including 2 who were treated early and never became infected. This therapeutic approach to radiation-induced granulocytopenia may therefore be useful after radiation and nuclear accidents.
