Variations of situs solitus totalis, the normal organ disposition pattern, involve dextrocardia, situs inversus, situs inversus totalis and situs ambiguous. These laterality defects have been documented for more than 400 years, and a connection to ciliary abnormalities has been elucidated by observing cilia from the primitive node, which can promote “nodal flow”, possibly necessary for the development of left-right asymmetry. The aim of this work was to perform a literature review, showing variations in the usual anatomy and the connection between nodal flow and normal asymmetric pattern. A narrative review was carried out with articles from the MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO and LILACS databases and with books relevant to the theme. The initial embryonic development comprises the formation of the organizing structure, a primitive node, and its cilia are responsible for the nodal flow, determinant in many vertebrates in the breaking of the embryonic bilateral symmetry. The formation of asymmetry is associated with morphogenic gradients to the left of the node, the model of two cilia and the mechanism of nodal vesicular plots, until it results in organogenesis. Ciliary abnormalities configure clinical manifestations in disorders such as Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Kartagener syndrome. The nodal flow, in fact, is important in normal anatomical standardization, and the cilia are necessary for the configuration of situs solitus totalis.
Objetivo: identificar os impactos na saúde mental dos estudantes de medicina e sua prevalência diante da pandemia pelo coronavírus. Metodologia: revisão integrativa nas bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Scientific Electronic Library Online e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, utilizando-se os descritores “Mental health”, “Medical students” e sigla pertinente para a doença por Coronavírus 2019. Resultados: a mostra final deste estudo foi composta por 21 artigos discorrendo sobre depressão, ansiedade, estresse, sofrimento psicológico e mudanças psicológicas ou comportamentais. Conclusão: a pandemia causada pela doença do coronavírus repercutiu de diferentes maneiras na saúde mental dos estudantes de medicina, sendo observados transtornos de ansiedade e depressão, alterações de humor, estresse, sofrimento psicológico e dificuldade no engajamento universitário. Este estudo contribui com a identificação dos principais impactos da realidade imposta pelo novo coronavírus, estimulando a implementação de futuras estratégias de apoio à saúde mental no decorrer da formação médica.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
