ABSTRACT
The phenomenon of people's attraction to Homeopathy throughout its history is a known fact by all homeopaths. This attraction is noted in polarization of people's opinions, some for and some against. People in favor of Homeopathy use dynamizeddrugs and contribute to the area, for example, the development of the methodology Self-Organizing Factors of Biofield (BioFAO). In contrast, people against Homeopathy try to stop its use and feed endless discussions. Despite be aware of these events, there was no prior description about the whole process identified as an effect to make easy the development of an appropriate response. This understanding was published in a brief explanation of the phenomenon exemplified by development of BioFAO. Due to similar behavior of people that happened with another great work, which is a famous painting, the phenomenon was called La Gioconda Effect. Aims: The purpose of this paper is to describe the La Gioconda Effect. Methodology:After comparing both Homeopathy's and Mona Lisa'shistories found at bibliographic review, the La Gioconda Effect was revealed, described qualitatively, and published. Results and discussion:The relationship between people with Homeopathy showed several similarities with people and Mona Lisa. Both workssurvived on a secular scale, influenced generations, have a period of social acceptance, many people show extreme interest in the use, education, research and dissemination of them. A remarkable example of the development of Homeopathy is the creation of BioFAO, which is a protocol with a complex of dynamizeddugs. The description of La Gioconda Effect helps to understand the history and development of Homeopathy, as well as people's behavior. Conclusion:La Gioconda Effect demonstrates people's attractionto Homeopathy.

History of HomeopathyABSTRACT
Introducción: el año 2019 se conmemoraron los 500 años de la muerte de Leonardo da Vinci en el Chateux du Cloux, Francia. Según registros históricos, Leonardo vivió los últimos años de su vida con una parálisis en su mano derecha, atribuida a un probable accidente cerebrovascular (ACV), lo cual afectó a su capacidad para emprender nuevos proyectos pictóricos. Este trabajo describe como fueron los últimos años de vida de Leonardo, revisa los antecedentes sobre salud y su probable enfermedad neurológica, sus eventuales etio-logías y sus consecuencias. Desarrollo: Leonardo llegó a Francia en 1516 por invitación del rey Francisco I para llevar el Renacimiento y completar su formación personal. En 1517 es visitado por el cardenal Luis de Aragón, y su secretario registra en su diario que Leonardo se encuentra afectado de una parálisis de la mano derecha. Algunos autores sugieren un ACV como causa probable, sobretodo porque según el historiador Vasari, Leonardo vivió sus últimos años en condición de discapacidad. Se llega a plantear que su condición de vege-tariano habría podido influir como factor de riesgo de ACV. Sin embargo, un dibujo no fechado de Figino muestra a Leonardo con una parálisis de tipo periférica de la mano derecha, abriendo el diagnóstico diferencial. Conclusiones: no hay información suficiente para valorar el tipo y la causa de enfermedad neurológica de Leonardo da Vinci, no obstante, está influyó significativamente en su interacción con su discípulo Francisco Melzi y su mecenas Francisco I, hecho que contribuyó a que su legado perdure hasta hoy.
Introduction: the year2019 marked the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci at the Chateau du Cloux, France. According to historical records, Leonardo lived the last years of his life with palsy on his right hand, attributed to a probable stroke, which affected his ability to undertake new pictorial projects. This study describes how were the last years of Leonardo's life, reviews his medical history and his probable neurological disease, with its possible etiologies and its consequences. Discussion: Leonardo arrived in France in 1516 invited by King Francis I to lead the Renaissance and complete his education. In 1517, cardinal Luis de Aragón visited Leonardo, and his secretary recorded in his diary that he was affected by a palsy on his right hand. Some authors suggest that stroke could have been a probable cause, especially because according to the historian Vasari, Leonardo lived his last years in a condition of disability. His vegetarian food habit could have been a risk factor for his suspected stroke. However, an undated drawing by Figino shows Leonardo with a peripheral nerve palsy on his right hand, opening up the differential diagnosis. Conclusions:there is not enough information to assess the type and cause of Leonardo da Vinci's neurological disease. However, this condition significantly affected his interaction with his discipleFrancisco Melzi and his patron Francisco I, a fact that contributed to his legacy enduring until today.

New technologies and ideas are constantly emerging recently. With the arrival of the era of minimally invasive surgery, most of the colorectal cancer surgeries can be conducted through minimally invasive techniques. In this study, we discuss the status, characteristics, controversy, and consensus of minimally invasive techniques in colorectal cancer surgery.
ABSTRACT
Leonardo da Vinci is remembered as the greatest genius of the Renaissance. He left outstanding achievements as an artist, scientist and inventor, and contributes up to today's science. He ranks the best in a variety of fields, such as botany, mathematics, geology, astronomy, geometry and optics. It has well known that Leonardo is an artist, scientist, inventor and philosopher. And he was a great anatomist that dissected dead bodies and animals directly and left many anatomical drawings. He took an interest in anatomy from the point of view of the artist, which is why the human body structure and function to know the sakes were "ignorant of the anatomy should not be upset." Over time, he became interested in the structure and function of the body, even get the human body in a difficult environment; he dissected many the human bodies directly. His scientific inquiry and infatuation made him as an advanced pioneer for more than 100 years, and got enough level to surpass the artistry. Leonardo left about 1,800 anatomical figures of the muscular, skeletal, vascular, nervous and urogenital system, and they are also very scientific and high artistic achievements. The aim of this article is to take a look at Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical achievements and thoughts.
