The early and prolonged exposure of children to electronic devices, such as tablets, smartphones and televisions, has

increasingly aroused the interest and concern of researchers and health professionals. Several studies analyze the connection between screen time and child development, indicating that, although screens can provide educational and recreational benefits, excessive or inappropriate use can harm children's development. This article is an integrative literature review and its objective is to establish whether there is a consensus in the literature on the effects of screen exposure on child development. The methodology involved the use of the PubMed and SciELO databases, considering articles published between 2014 and 2024. The descriptors used were “screen”; “television”; “child development”; “childhood” which were combined by the Boolean operator “AND”. A total of 2,268 articles were selected and, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 8 articles were selected. The results revealed

that increased screen time was significantly associated with poorer language skills, sedentary behaviors, sleep disturbances, and emotional and cognitive problems. Furthermore, the research highlighted that quality content and co-viewing with caregivers may mitigate some of the adverse effects. Thus, while technology can offer educational benefits, it is essential that parents and educators promote a balance between technology use and developmental activities. Future interventions should focus on both children and parents to establish healthy screen time limits.

Prematurity, defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestational age, is an important risk factor for delays in neuropsychomotor development. This study aimed to analyze the available evidence regarding the relationship between prematurity and possible deficits in child neurodevelopment and psychomotor skills. This is a narrative literature review, qualitative and descriptive in nature, conducted in the SciELO and Virtual Health Library (BVS) databases, using descriptors in Portuguese and English combined with Boolean operators. Articles published between 2017 and 2023 were included, resulting in the selection of five studies that met the eligibility criteria. The findings indicated a consistent association between prematurity and a higher risk of motor, cognitive, and language impairments, especially in newborns with very low birth weight, ischemic hypoxia, or prolonged hospitalization. It was also observed that early access to adequate stimuli and multiprofessional follow-up contribute to minimizing deficits and promoting neuroplasticity. In conclusion, the systematic assessment of neurodevelopment and psychomotor skills in preterm children should be prioritized by healthcare professionals in order to enable early interventions and reduce the adverse consequences of prematurity.

Congenital syphilis is a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries, where vertical transmission remains one of the greatest challenges. This study describes the epidemiological profile of congenital syphilis in Minas Gerais between 2019 and 2023, highlighting trends and failures in treatment and diagnosis. Although preventable and with low-cost treatment, congenital syphilis continues to negatively impact child health, revealing gaps in prenatal care. This quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study analyzed confirmed cases of congenital syphilis in Minas Gerais, using data from the last five years available on SINAN/DATASUS. Epidemiological variables (year, month, mother's education, newborn's sex and race/ethnicity), screening variables (prenatal care, maternal syphilis, and partner treatment), and outcome variables (final classification and evolution) were analyzed. Bibliographic research was conducted between August and October 2024, using databases such as PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar. Collected data were organized in Excel for presentation. Ethical approval was not required as the data are public. During the study period, 9,709 cases of congenital syphilis were reported in Minas Gerais, with the highest number of cases in 2019. Significant partner treatment failure was observed, a factor contributing to the persistence of vertical transmission. The study concludes that strengthening public health policies during prenatal care, focusing on early screening and proper treatment of both the pregnant woman and her partner, is essential to reduce the incidence of congenital syphilis, contributing to the WHO's goal of eradicating the disease.
