Neuroanatomia, de autoria de Isolan, Bark, Buffon e Figueiredo, oferece um conteúdo didaticamente organizado da anatomia e das funções do sistema nervoso central, usando ricos casos ilustrativos para embasar a correlação clínica prática do conhecimento adquirido pelo aluno. São 24 capítulos que relatam a experiência dos autores no campo da Neurologia, da Neurocirurgia e das dissecções anatômicas realizadas pelos próprios autores em laboratório de microcirurgia. Conta também com a participação de estudantes de Medicina de diferentes universidades brasileiras e com as ilustrações únicas de Rodrigo Tonan, oferecendo um material inédito para os interessados no assunto.
O primeiro Manual da Liga Acadêmica de Emergências Cirúrgicas (LAEC) é um guia indispensável para acadêmicos e profissionais da área da saúde que desejam se aprofundar no manejo das urgências cirúrgicas. Elaborada por médicos, alunos de medicina e especialistas, esta obra reúne conhecimentos práticos e teóricos apresentados de forma acessível e atualizada. Com capítulos que abrangem desde técnicas fundamentais, como paramentação e assepsia, até temas mais específicos, como o manejo da dor e a interpretação de exames radiológicos em cenários de emergência, o conteúdo foi estruturado para atender às necessidades da formação acadêmica e da prática clínica. O texto é apresentado de maneira objetiva e didática, com o objetivo de facilitar a compreensão, o aprendizado e manter o leitor engajado em cada tema abordado. Mais do que um manual, esta é uma ferramenta essencial para quem busca aprofundar seus conhecimentos, aperfeiçoar habilidades e enfrentar com segurança os desafios das urgências cirúrgicas.
Mobile Museums presents an argument for the importance of circulation in the study of museum collections, past and present. It brings together an impressive array of international scholars and curators from a wide variety of disciplines – including the history of science, museum anthropology and postcolonial history - to consider the mobility of collections. The book combines historical perspectives on the circulation of museum objects in the past with contemporary accounts of their re-mobilisation, notably in the context of Indigenous community engagement. Contributors seek to explore processes of circulation historically in order to re-examine, inform and unsettle common assumptions abou...
The goal of this book is to make a link between fundamental research in the field of cognitive neurosciences, which now benefits from a better knowledge of the neural foundations of cerebral processing, and its clinical application, especially in neurosurgery – itself able to provide new insights into brain organization. The anatomical bases are presented, advances and limitations of the different methods of functional cerebral mapping are discussed, updated models of sensorimotor, visuospatial, language, memory, emotional, and executive functions are explained in detail. In the light of these data, new strategies of surgical management of cerebral lesions are proposed, with an optimization of the benefit–risk ratio of surgery. Finally, perspectives about brain connectivity and plasticity are discussed on the basis of translational studies involving serial functional neuroimaging, intraoperative cortico-subcortical electrical mapping, and biomathematical modeling of interactions between parallel distributed neural networks.

Microsurgery Applied to Neurosurgery focuses on microsurgical approaches to cerebrospinal lesions, including plastic surgery, suturing techniques, instruments for microsurgery, and microsurgical operations. The manuscript first offers information on the history of microsurgery and the operating microscope. Discussions focus on bipolar electric coagulation, plastic surgery, peripheral nerves, clinical application, binocular diploscope, automatic microscope stand, sterile covering of the microscope, and magnification. The text also elaborates on the instruments for microsurgery and suturing techniques. The publication takes a look at experimental microsurgical operations in animals and reconstructive and constructive surgery of the cerebral arteries in man. The manuscript also ponders on intracranial tumors and transnasal-transsphenoidal approach to the pituitary gland. Topics include transsphenoidal approach, suboccipital transmeatal approach, spinal tumors, and preoperative radiological study. The manuscript is a dependable reference for health professionals and readers interested in microsurgery.
One of the major challenges of modern neuroscience is to define the complex pattern of neural connections that underlie cognition and behaviour. This atlas capitalises on novel diffusion MRI tractography methods to provide a comprehensive overview of connections derived from virtual in vivo tractography dissections of the human brain.
This book provides the first presentation of the state-of-the-art in the application of modern Neuroscience research in predicting, preventing and alleviating the negative sequelae of neurodevelopmental, acquired, or neurodegenerative brain abnormalities on speech and language. To this end, this edited volume brings together contributions from several leading experts in a markedly broad range of disciplines, comprising Neurology, Neurosurgery, Genetics, Engineering, Neuroimaging and Neurostimulation, Neuropsychology, and Speech and Language Therapy.
Image-Guided Neurosurgery provides readers with an update on the revolutionary improvements in imaging and visualization relating to neurosurgery. From the development of the pneumoencephalogram, to the operating microscope, to cross sectional imaging with CT and later MRI, to stereotaxy and neuronavigation, the ability to visualize the pathology and surrounding neural structures has been the driving factor leading surgical innovation and improved outcomes. The book provides a comprehensive reference on the application of contemporary imaging technologies used in neurosurgery. Specific techniques discussed include brain biopsies, brain tumor resection, deep brain stimulation, and more. The b...
