La memoria no es un simple archivo de recuerdos: es un sistema vivo, complejo y dinámico que pulsa al ritmo de los ciclos naturales.En este libro, la Dra. Débora Moghilevsky Penna propone una mirada revolucionaria sobre la memoria, integrando la teoria de los sistemas complejos, la logica fractal y el psicodrama. A traves del Psicodiagnostico Fractal, la autora muestra como los patrones de repeticion y las catastrofes psiquicas pueden comprenderse y transformarse desde un enfoque que articula ciencia, arte y terapia.Una obra que invita a repensar los fundamentos del proceso terapeutico, a reconocer los ritmos naturales que organizan nuestras experiencias y a explorar la memoria como matriz de creacion, sanacion y transformacion.

La medicina interna constituye, desde sus orígenes, el pilar intelectual y clínico de la medicina moderna. Es la disciplina que integra a una medicina ya cada vez más multifragmentada, que transforma el razonamiento clinico y diagnostico para aplicarlo con juicio y humanismo en beneficio del paciente. En palabras de William Osler, padre de la medicina interna contemporanea, "El buen medico trata la enfermedad; el gran medico trata al paciente que tiene la enfermedad". Esa esencia humanista, unida a la ciencia rigurosa, sigue guiando a generaciones de internistas comprometidos con el conocimiento, la docencia y el servicio.En ese espiritu nace Temas selectos en Medicina Interna. Actualidades en diagnostico y tratamiento, una obra colectiva que refleja el talento, la experiencia y el prestigio de 74 especialistas mexicanos de distintas instituciones del pais, profesores, investigadores y clinicos, comprometidos con la educacion medica continua y la practica clinica basada en la evidencia. Su proposito es ofrecer una visionmoderna, practica y critica de los principales problemas que enfrenta el internista en la vida hospitalaria y ambulatoria.

La leishmaniasis cutánea, transmitida por diminutas moscas blanquecinas, provoca lesiones en la piel de tamaño y forma variables. En Colombia, el insecto vector de la enfermedad habita los mismos entornos selvaticos que han sido escenario de una de las guerras mas largas y violentas de America Latina. No es casual, entonces, que quienes mas la padecen sean integrantes del Ejercito y de grupos armados ilegales. La palabra maraña nombra la vegetacion enredada lianas trenzadas y follaje denso caracteristica de las selvas donde suele producirse la transmision de la enfermedad. A partir de esta imagen, Lina Pinto Garcia sostiene que la guerra y la leishmaniasis no solo estan relacionadas sino inextricablemente vinculadas, enmarañadas mediante narrativas, tecnologias y practicas producidas por el Estado, la medicina, la investigacion biomedica y el propio conflicto armado. Maraña es una investigacion rigurosa y sensible que explora como la guerra no solo ha configurado el conocimiento cientifico sobre la leishmaniasis, sino tambien las condiciones de acceso a sus tratamientos. Revela que la salud, la investigacion biomedica y la violencia comparten en el pais una historia que se entrelaza profundamente.

Memory is not a simple archive of memories: it is a living, complex and dynamic system that pulses to the rhythm of natural cycles.In this book, Dr. Débora Moghilevsky Penna proposes a revolutionary perspective on memory, integrating complex systems theory, fractal logic, and psychodrama. Through Fractal Psychodiagnostics, the author demonstrates how patterns of repetition and psychological catastrophes can be understood and transformed through an approach that articulates science, art, and therapy.A work that invites us to rethink the foundations of the therapeutic process, to recognize the natural rhythms that organize our experiences, and to explore memory as a matrix of creation, healing, and transformation.

O desejo de organizarmos este livro surgiu de algumas questes: registramos a riqueza dos temas apresentados nos diversos eventos de Psicologia do Intensivismo realizados pela Sociedade Paulista de Terapia Intensiva (SOPATI) A repercusso positiva, a relevancia e a busca dos espectadores pelos palestrantes para maiores esclarecimentos sobre os temas abordados, evidenciou um valioso arsenal de conhecimentos e experiencias relativas ao trabalho do psicologo nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTIs). Consideramos, que esses conhecimentos deveriam ser publicados para que as pessoas pudessem ter acesso aos conteudos marcantes que se revelaram nos congressos sob nossa coordenaço. Ao apresentar os trabalhos que compem este livro, acreditamos trazer para a apreciaço dos leitores uma seleço significativa das praticas e das reflexes desenvolvidas nesta modalidade terapeutica. O Psicointensivismo ja e considerado uma especialidade entre tantas existentes na Psicologia Hospitalar, por isso a importancia do livro, que congrega temas de notaveis relevancias clinicas, escritos por profissionais de elevado conhecimento sobre o tema. Temos como objetivo demonstrar que, alem de uma rotina protocolar, ha muita subjetividade em todos os sentidos dentro de uma UTI. Paciente, Equipe, Familia, e o entorno hospitalar. Esse enfoque nos remeteu a uma reflexo, a posteriori, sobre o conceito filosofico-existencial de esferas, "bolhas" de Peter Sloterdijk. Neste enfoque a UTI pode ser tomada como um destes espaços de proteço e (sobre) vivencia em um ambiente controlado, embora temporario e vulneravel. Muitas vezes os limiares entre a vida e a morte so to infimos que resta aos profissionais o compartilhar de um sofrimento que acaba sendo coletivo, e ai percebemos que ha humanizaço e continencia, ou seja, a evidencia do conceito de "bolha". Queriamos um livro que falasse das emoçes existentes nesse ambiente como um todo, para alem dos protocolos e questes formais, to necessarias. E fato que a ciencia e a subjetividade podem andar juntas e quem se beneficia no fim do caminho e o paciente.

The British Navy famously conquered the devastating plague of scurvy in the eighteenth century by mandating daily rations of citrus juice, seemingly solving maritime medicines greatest mystery. The problem was thought to be entirely eradicated, ensuring global naval dominance.Yet, decades later, scurvy inexplicably returned to devastate polar expeditions and naval fleets, baffling the greatest scientific minds of the era. The hidden culprit was a fatal chain of bureaucratic and chemical errors. In an attempt to cut costs and improve storage, the Admiralty switched from high-vitamin Mediterranean lemons to West Indian limes, and began pumping the juice through massive copper pipes. The resulting chemical oxidation completely eradicated the fragile Vitamin C, transforming the life-saving tonic into a useless, highly acidic placebo.This rigorous medical history investigates how an empire accidentally un-cured its deadliest disease. It explores the dangerous arrogance of institutional medicine, the complex biochemistry of vitamin degradation, and the devastating human cost of ignoring fundamental nutritional science.Uncover the deadly blind spots of historical maritime medicine. Read this fascinating investigation to understand how logistical arrogance and bureaucratic cost-cutting can effortlessly destroy decades of vital scientific progress.

In the dimly lit laboratories of the nineteenth century, scientists faced a profound barrier: the human brain was a gelatinous, featureless mass under a microscope. To understand the nervous system, they needed a dye that could highlight individual nerve fibers without destroying them.The solution came in the form of osmium tetroxide, a volatile, incredibly toxic compound derived from the densest naturally occurring precious metal on Earth. This gripping medical history reveals how Victorian anatomists risked blindness and respiratory failure by inhaling osmium fumes just to map the biological wiring of consciousness.The narrative strips away the sterile veneer of scientific progress, exposing the perilous, hands-on experimentation that defined early neuroanatomy. You will meet the obsessive researchers who sacrificed their own health to stain and preserve the delicate cellular architecture of the human mind.Uncover the lethal sacrifices made in the pursuit of biological truth. Purchase your copy to witness how a dangerous heavy metal illuminated the dark corridors of the brain.

For most of human history, administering medicine was a blunt and often ineffective process. Remedies had to be swallowed and survive the harsh environment of the digestive system, severely limiting the speed and potency of life-saving treatments. The barrier of the human skin seemed completely impenetrable.The invention of the hypodermic needle in the mid-19th century by Alexander Wood shattered this biological boundary. By taking inspiration from the sting of a bee, engineers crafted a glass and metal instrument capable of delivering morphine directly into the bloodstream. This terrifyingly direct intervention birthed modern anesthesia, enabled mass vaccination campaigns, and forever changed the landscape of global public healthwhile simultaneously igniting the first modern addiction crises.This book charts the rapid, bloody, and miraculous evolution of intravenous therapy. It explores the engineering hurdles of crafting microscopic steel tubes and the immense cultural shift required to accept puncturing the body as a path to healing.Explore the sharp edge of medical history. Uncover how a simple glass cylinder bypassed our natural defenses and became the most consequential medical tool on earth.

In the summer of 1485, a terrifying new disease arrived in England. It struck with unimaginable speed: a victim could be perfectly healthy at breakfast and dead from severe, foul-smelling sweats by dinner.

For centuries, the brightest medical minds in the world believed that diseases like cholera, the plague, and malaria were caused by "miasma"a toxic, foul-smelling vapor emanating from rotting organic matter. If it smelled bad, it was deadly. This deeply flawed paradigm dictated public health policies across Europe, leading to bizarre practices like carrying fragrant herbs to ward off infection while completely ignoring contaminated water supplies.The adherence to miasma theory was so absolute that it blinded the medical establishment to the truth. When pioneers like John Snow mapped cholera outbreaks to specific water pumps, or Ignaz Semmelweis suggested that doctors were transmitting invisible particles from corpses to pregnant women, they were ridiculed and exiled. The institutional ego of Victorian medicine refused to accept that illnesses were caused by microscopic organisms rather than dramatic, visible clouds of bad air.This captivating historical narrative traces the long, stubborn battle between miasma and germ theory. It explores how cognitive biases and academic pride can severely delay scientific progress, costing millions of lives, and illustrates the immense difficulty of dismantling a universally accepted scientific illusion.
