Introduction Throughout the historical course, the emergence of neurosurgery invariably involved the narrative about different eras, marked by relevant discoveries in the field of medical science. From prehistoric mystical and therapeutic reports to the Robotic Era in the 21st century, there were changes that contributed to current neurosurgery. Thus, this study will analyze articles and studies that describe the history of neurosurgery and demonstrate the main advances in the field of science.
Materials and methods This is a narrative review of scientific literature, carried out by searching the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Online System for Searching and Analyzing Medical Literature (MEDLINE), Latin American Literature and Caribbean in Health Sciences (LILACS), and Public Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (PubMed).The following descriptors were used: History of neurosurgery and Neuroanatomy, together with the Boolean operator “AND”. In addition, the descriptors History of Neurosurgery and Robotics were used between the Boolean operator “AND”. In this sense, in order to establish a linearity of the narrative presented, the evolution of neurosurgery in five eras was didactically separated.
Conclusion Neurosurgery, throughout history, has undergone several transformations. There was a series of events that made neurosurgery one of the most evolutionary and progressive sciences. This is because technology combined with scientific knowledge was, in fact, what made it possible to get where we are. In this sense, the studied ages allow the comprehension of a history that needs to be understood and valued by all students of the neurological and neurosurgical sciences.
Introduction: Monitoring comprises a contribution tool in the teachinglearning process. It is an instrument that helps in the understanding, production and improvement of university knowledge, in addition to stimulating scientific initiation and university extension. The present work brings an innovative proposal of the modality, in which medical specialists guide students in the production of materials on themes in the area with virtual later dissemination, allowing an interaction of students from different regions. Objectives: Report on the experience of virtual monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate the effectiveness of active methodologies for the digital use of resources. Experience report: The monitoring consisted of weekly online meetings, for three months, with clinical cases related to eight themes that were distributed and rotated among the monitors for the production of digital materials containing sub-themes within major touches, which is available for free on the networks monitoring. The following topics were discussed with: headache, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, seizures, vertigo, lowering of the sensory, neuroinfections and traumatic brain injury. Reflections on the experience: The active production process, as it is an effective learning method, reinforces the monitors’ knowledge on the themes and consolidates important skills. Conclusion: Online monitoring, in addition to being an alternative to the traditional face-to-face model, contributed to medical training in teaching, research and extension and in the development of other qualities, such as: interpersonal relationships, didactic language, encouraging teaching and improving the search and filtering data from the scientific literature.
O conceito mais amplo de saúde é o equilíbrio dinâmico, entre o organismo e seu ambiente, mantendo as características estruturais e funcionais do organismo nos limites considerados normais para o seu ciclo vital. Mas a definição de saúde requer outros pontos de vista: legal, social e econômico. Esta é definida pela Organização mundial de Saúde (OMS), como 'o estado de completo bem-estar físico, mental e social, e não apenas a ausência de doenças'. Ou seja, chegamos a uma questão simples, mas paradoxal: alguém no nosso país tem saúde? Parece-nos que, por melhor que sejam as condições de vida do indivíduo, é possível que ele não goze plenamente de saúde. Pois mesmo morando em uma mansão, mas se estiver psicologicamente abalado com a queda da Bolsa de Valores, não terá saúde. Assim, saúde aparenta ser um estado momentâneo e até mesmo fugaz. Então, devemos nos ater no prolongamento deste estado de saúde, pois nos parece impossível ter na prática saúde plena. Dito isso, é preciso incentivar estudos que tragam contribuições, por menores que sejam para a melhoria da qualidade de vida das pessoas. Deste modo, devemos focar nos pilares dessa saúde: a alimentação e a higiene, que pode prevenir doenças e agravos. Esta obra trás um pouco de algumas áreas das Ciências da Saúde, como amostra do quão complexo é essa área do conhecimento, principalmente quando aplicada à saúde humana.
Introduction: Parry-Romberg syndrome is also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy. It, which is characterized by a unilateral atrophy of the skin, soft tissue, muscles, and/or bones of the face, is a variant of linear morphea or an independent disorder. It has sporadic neurocutaneous involvement, occasionally it can even involve the central nervous system (CNS). In this condition, facial atrophy may be accompanied by classic linear morphea lesions on the face or elsewhere. Parry-Romberg syndrome is an uncommon disorder, more common in females, usually manifested in the first decade of life, but its etiology remains unknown.Case Report: A woman with 49 years old, seeking neurological care due to epileptic seizures that started 21 years ago. The crises described were mostly focal, with compromised consciousness, symptomatology related to the temporal lobe with automatisms and sensory
