                     4D Abstract : The capacity of
                     four-dimensional sonography to evaluate complex
                     facial expressions allows recognition of a
                     common behavior, yawning. Although there has
                     been remarkably little interest in yawning in
                     research and medical practice, even though it is
                     an everyday phenomenon, we submit an original
                     interpretation on the basis of knowledge derived
                     from phylogeny and ontogeny. As a flip-flop
                     switch, the reciprocal interactions between
                     sleep- and wake-promoting brain regions allow
                     the emergence of distinct states of
                     arousal. By its ontogenical links with REM sleep,
                     yawning appears as a behavior which procures an
                     arousal reinforcement through the powerful
                     stretch and the neuromuscular rewiring induced.
                     Yawning indicates a harmonious progress in the
                     development of both the brainstem and the
                     peripheral neuromuscular function, testifying to
                     the induction of an ultradian rhythm of
                     vigilance. The lack of fetal yawn, frequently
                     associated with lack of swallowing, associated
                     or not with retrognathia, may be a key to
                     predict a brainstem's dysfunction after birth.

                     41(3); 289-96 In human adults, yawning bas been related
                     to a change in activity or arousal state
                     and is, therefore, tied to CNS arousal
                     modulation. Yawning is a precocious behavior
                     that is observed sporadically in fetuses as
                     early as 12 to 14 weeks of gestational age. No
                     changes in the incidence of yawns between 20 and
                     36 weeks of gestational age have been observed
                     in the fetus. In full-term infants, yawns were
                     reported on the first day of life. In the only
                     study to describe neonatal yawning in some
                     detail, Wolff (The development
                     of behavioral states and the expression of
                     emotions in early infancy ; 1987; University
                     Chicago press) observed that infant yawns
                     occur mainly near, or possibly anticipating, the
                     onset of sleep. State II sleep follows yawning
                     with a mean latency of 7 min. The present study
                     examined yawning during very early postnatal
                     development in relation to contextual behaviors
                     and spontaneous alterations in behavioral state
                     of premature infants borned between 30 et 35
                     weeks post-conceptual age. Chez l'homme adulte, le bâillement
                     apparait lors des changements
                     d'activités et de niveaux de
                     vigilance. C'est un comportement
                     précoce qu'il est possible de distinguer
                     dès 12 à 14 semaines de vie
                     foetale. Aucune variation de fréquence
                     des bâillements n'est notée entre
                     20 et 36 semaines de grossesse. Des
                     bâillements sont notés chez les
                     nouveaux-nés à terme au cours du
                     premier jour de vie. Dans la seule étude
                     publiée, Wolff (The
                     development of behavioral states and the
                     expression of emotions in early infancy ; 1987;
                     University Chicago press) note que les
                     bâillements de nouveau-nés à
                     terme apparaissent essentiellement à
                     l'approche de l'endormissement. Le sommeil de
                     stade II suit les bâillements avec une
                     latence de 7 mn. Le travail
                     présenté ici étudie les
                     bâillements et les comportements
                     associés avec d'éventuels troubles

                     Development
                     of behaviors in preterm infants:
                     relation
                     to sleeping and wakingAlthough both nurse, clinicians and
                     researchers use infant behaviors to indicate the
                     responses of preterm infant to stimulation,
                     little is known about how the biological factors
                     of development, sleeping and waking states,
                     infant characteristics, and infant illness
                     severity affect preterm infant behaviors. The study of Diane
                     Holditch-Davis examined the development of
                     eight infant behaviors (yawn,
                     sigh, negative facial expression, startle/jerk,
                     jitter, large body movement, mouth movements,
                     hiccup, sleeping and waking states) over
                     the preterm period and determined the relation
                     of these behaviors to sleeping and waking and to
                     infant characteristics and illness severity.
                     Seventy-one preterm infants were observed from 7
                     to 11 pm weekly from the time they were no
                     longer critical until term or discharge. The
                     occurrence of four sleep-wake states and eight
                     behaviors were recorded every 10-seconds during
                     the observations. Negative facial expressions increased over
                     the preterm period and sighs, startle/jerks,
                     jitters, and the likelihood of having hiccups
                     decreased. Infant characteristics had only minor
                     effects: boys had more negative facial
                     expressions, and longer mechanical ventilation
                     was associated with more sighs and jitters. All
                     behaviors showed state-related differences in
                     frequency. In addition, only startle/jerks and
                     jitters showed the same developmental patterns
                     within each state. Significant development of infant behaviors
                     occurs over the preterm period but involves
                     changes not only in the absolute percentage of
                     each behavior but also in the percentages within
                     each sleeping and waking state. Thus, preterm
                     infant behaviors can not be used clinically for
                     assessment without consideration of the state in
                     which they occur. Evolution

                     comportements infantils (bâillement,

                     état n'était plus critique juqu'au
                     terme théorique ou la sortie de
                     pouponnière. L'occurence des 4 stades de
                     sommeil et des 8 comportements étaient
                     colligés toutes les 10 secondes pendant
                     chaque période d'observation.
                     
                     Alors que les expressions faciales
                     douloureuses augmentent de fréquence, les
                     cris, les sursauts, les éveils et le
                     hoquet se raréfient pendant la
                     période de prématurité. Les
                     caractéristiques individuelles de chaque
                     enfant ont des effets mineurs: les
                     garçons ont plus d'expressions faciales
                     douloureuses; une ventilation mécanique
                     prolongée est corellée à
                     plus de cris et de peurs. Chaque comportement a
                     une fréquence propre à chaque
                     stade d'évolution. A noter que seuls les
                     sursauts et la peur présentent les
                     mêmes aspects développementaux
                     à chaque stade évoutif. Des évolutions significatives des
                     comportements ont lieu dans la période de
                     prématurité; ces changements ne
                     concernent pas uniquement la fréquence
                     respective de chacun, mais aussi la
                     fréquence de chacun par rapport aux
                     différents niveaux d'éveil et des
                     stades du sommeil. En conclusion, les comportements des
                     prématurés doivent être
                     cliniquement évalués, non
                     seulement en eux mêmes, mais aussi en
                     fonction des états d'éveil au
                     cours desquels ils apparaissent.  |
