Historia de la enseñanza universitaria / History of university education

El vocablo "universidad" viene del latín universitas, término que hace referencia a "totalidad" o "reunido en un todo". Históricamente fue conformado por el grupo de "los que enseñan" y el de "los que aprenden". Una de las primeras universidades fue la Universidad de Bologna donde si bien predominaban los estudios jurídicos, también se dictaban filosofía, teología, farmacia, astronomía, matemáticas y medicina. Su contrapartida fue la Universidad de París, donde se enseñaba fundamentalmente teología. En esta última institución los pontífices se reservaron la vigilancia de su actuación y enseñanza. La universidad moderna surge del modelo de Guillermo Humboldt, en el que se restablece la coexistencia de la ciencia y la investigación, que constituyen el germen de nuestra relación docencia - investigación. En las universidades de América Latina se destaca la reforma universitaria de Córdoba, uno de cuyos puntos centrales fue la autonomía universitaria, definida como la facultad de los estudiantes de dirigir la Universidad sin la intromisión de los poderes del estado, en el ámbito propio de la deliberación y la decisión libre de los alumnos y maestros, despojados de toda autoridad diferente a su capacidad docente. (AU)

The word "university" comes from the Latin universitas, a term that refers to "totality" or "united as a whole". Historically it was formed by the group of "those who teach" and "those who learn". One of the first universities was the University of Bologna where, although legal studies predominated, philosophy, theology, pharmacy, astronomy, mathematics and medicine were also taught. Its counterpart was the University of Paris, where theology was the main subject. In the latter institution, the pontiffs reserved for themselves the supervision of their actions and teaching. The modern university arises from the model of William Humboldt, in which the conjunction of science and research is reestablished, which constitute the germ of our teaching-research relationship. In Latin American universities, the university reform of Córdoba stands out, one of the central points of which was university autonomy defined as the faculty of students to direct the University, without the interference of the powers of the state, in the proper scope of deliberation and free decision of students and teachers, stripped of any other authority different from their teaching capacity.

El doctor Juan Noé y el nacimiento de la biología celular en Chile / Dr. Juan Noé and the birth of cell biology in Chile

Dr. Vicente Izquierdo San Fuentes was the first professor of Histology at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Chile. In that Chair, cell theory strongly radiated to new generations of health students. However, the conditions for the creation of the discipline of General or Cell Biology were not yet ripe. Almost three decades later, Dr. Juan Noé Crevani was hired in Italy to lead Medical Zoology in 1912. From the heterogeneous discipline of Medical Zoology, Dr. Noé managed to create in 1926 the new chairs of General Biology, Embryology-Comparative Anatomy and Parasitology. His vision of biology as an essentially dynamic and experimental science, contributed to modernize and encourage the development of different areas of biology in Chile. Retaining their full independence, these chairs met in 1931, in a new organization called the Juan Noé Institute of Biology, which lasted until the university reform of 1968. Afterwards, the departments of Biology and Genetics, Parasitology, Human Anatomy and Histology were created. In 1998, a new reorganization of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Chile began, creating the so-called Institute of Biomedical Sciences (ICBM) that houses several disciplinary programs that replaced the old departments.

RESUMO. C. G. Jung e William James compartilhavam uma série de interesses de pesquisa. Por ocasião da Conferência realizada na Universidade de Clark, no ano de 1909, os dois autores tiveram a oportunidade de se encontrar e conversar. Os debates abordaram temas que não estavam na pauta da conferência, especialmente pesquisas psíquicas, também chamadas modernamente de experiências anomalísticas ou relacionadas à 'psi'. Desde seu período como estudante de medicina, Jung se interessou pelos fenômenos anômalos da consciência, tendo pesquisado os principais autores associados ao espiritualismo dos séculos XVIII e XIX. William James foi pesquisador reconhecido dos chamados fenômenos psíquicos, tendo participado de sociedades como a Society for Psychical Research e a American Society for Psychical Research. Através de seus estudos, James e Jung buscavam contribuir para a psicologia dinâmica, também chamada de psicologia profunda. O objetivo deste artigo foi ampliar os diálogos estabelecidos na universidade de Clark, resgatando informações importantes acerca da teoria dos dois autores.

ABSTRACT. C.G. Jung and William James shared several research interests. At the conference held at Clark University in 1909, the two authors could meet and talk. The debates were especially on topics regarding psychical research, contemporarily also called anomalistic or psi-related experiences, which were not considered on the conference schedule. Since his period as a medical student, Jung has been interested in anomalous phenomena of consciousness, having researched the prominent authors associated with the spiritualism of the 18th and 19th centuries. William James was a recognized researcher of the so-called psychic phenomena, participating in societies such as Society for Psychical Research and the American Society for Psychical Research. Through their studies, James and Jung aspired to contribute to dynamic psychology, also called depth psychology. This article aimed to broaden the dialogues established at Clark University, rescuing important information about the theory of the two authors.

Historia de la anatomía en Chile Parte II: el alma mater / History of anatomy in Chile Part II: the alma mater

Los conocimientos anatómicos luego de impartirse en los primeros 200 años de nuestra historia de manera extrauniversitaria, pasan a enseñar en 1978 desde la Real Universidad de San Felipe, al Instituto Nacional en 1833 y de éste, a la actual Universidad de Chile, en 1842. Siguiendo los preceptos de las Primas de Medicina españolas, el desarrollo de la disciplina se realizaba en condiciones deplorables, llenas de riesgos asociados a infecciones y heridas durante las prácticas, haciendo mención al origen de los primeros cadáveres utilizados para la docencia, en un periodo que va entre el año de 1842 cuando nace la Universidad, y 1920, año en que el Instituto de Anatomía se traslada a su actual ubicación, periodo en el cual son franceses los primeros profesores, recibiendo posteriormente influencia alemana, para luego recibir el influjo norteamericano. Este trabajo describe la continuación de la enseñanza de la Anatomía Humana, dependiente de la institución más antigua en fucionamiento del país, la Universidad de Chile, origen y alma mater de muchos anatomistas, quienes desarrollaron la enseñanza de la anatomía en el resto del país.

After 200 years of informal anatomical science education in Chile, the anatomy studies program of the Spanish Royal University of San Felipe (1758), is passed on to Chile's National Institute in the year 1833. Subsequently in 1842, the studies program is transferred to the current Universidad de Chile, and following the percepts of Spanish Medicine, records indicate the development of this discipline was carried out under wretched conditions, that included serious risks associated with infections and injuries during practices. There is also reference to the origin of the first corpses used in education between the year 1842, when the University was established, and 1920, the year in which the Institute of Anatomy moved to its present location. During this initial period, our professors were of French origin, which was followed by German influence, and later featured North American influence. Therefore, the objective of this work is to describe the continuity of Human Anatomy teachings, currently reliant on the Universidad de Chile. This being the oldest educational institution in the country, it constitutes the origin and alma mater of many anatomists, who will be responsible for the teaching and instruction of anatomy in the rest of the country.

First stages towards the establishment of Brazilian neurology faculties / Primeiros passos das escolas de neurologia do Brasil

ABSTRACT The establishment of modern medicine in Brazil was marked by the arrival of the Portuguese Court in 1808, when the Bahia and Rio de Janeiro Faculties of Medicine were founded. The French School of Medicine exerted a strong influence on Brazilian medicine and on the main pioneers of Brazilian neurology. The elite of "Parisian neurology" trained students and doctors from around the world, and were mentors to the pioneers of Brazilian neurology in the early 20th century. In this article, the authors review the origins of neurology faculties in Brazilian medicine and the main pioneers of Brazilian neurology. Neurology is certainly a continuously changing field and has always adapted to new advances and discoveries, and it is an honor for the authors to pay homage to their pioneers.

RESUMO O estabelecimento da medicina moderna no Brasil foi marcado pela chegada da corte portuguesa em 1808, quando foram fundadas as faculdades de medicina da Bahia e do Rio de Janeiro. A Escola Francesa de Medicina exerceu forte influência na Medicina Brasileira e nos principais pioneiros da Neurologia Brasileira. A elite da "Neurologia parisiense", treinou estudantes e médicos de todo o mundo e foram os mentores dos pioneiros da neurologia brasileira no início do século XX. Neste texto, os autores revisam as origens das faculdades de Neurologia na Medicina Brasileira e os principais pioneiros da Neurologia Brasileira. A neurologia é certamente um campo em constante mudança e sempre se adaptou a novos avanços e descobertas, e é uma honra para os autores homenagear seus pioneiros.

Neurological signs described at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro: connecting the past to the future / Sinais neurológicos descritos na Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro: conectando o passado ao futuro

ABSTRACT The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) is one of the pillars of Brazilian Medicine and, in Neurology, has always shown prominence, with notable professors such as Antônio Austregésilo and Deolindo Couto. Historically, practitioners of the UFRJ Medical School have discovered neurological signs that, although used in medical and academic practice, have never been published. Objective Our aim was to bring these signs to the forefront so that they become properly recognized and studied. Methods We conducted our search by questioning 49 professors and physicians by e-mail about neurological signs that they remembered having had contact with at UFRJ. Results We report on the unpublished pillow sign in progressive supranuclear palsy; the Brazilian sandal sign in functional or malingering patients; the dermographism sign in acute meningitis; the reverse forearm rolling sign in functional palsies; the cycling maneuver in parkinsonian syndromes and the Sá Cavalcanti sign, a Babinski equivalent. We have also recollected the following published signs for their historical relevance: the Austregésilo sign (Antônio Austregésilo), another Babinski equivalent; the digiti quinti rolling sign in subtle palsies (Péricles Maranhão) and the digiti quinti sign in hemiplegic migraine (Maurice Vincent). These signs are easily reproduced and have potential clinical applicability, deserving to be more thoroughly studied. Conclusions Through a qualitative methodology, we have identified six original unpublished neurological signs known by the academic community, establishing the contribution of these individuals to the expansion of neurological semiology.

RESUMO A Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro é um dos pilares da Medicina brasileira. Na Neurologia sempre se destacou com notáveis professores, como Antônio Austregésilo e Deolindo Couto. Historicamente, professores da Faculdade de Medicina da UFRJ descreveram sinais neurológicos que, embora utilizados na prática médica e acadêmica, nunca foram publicados. Objetivo Fazer ressurgir sinais clínicos neurológicos nunca antes publicados, para que possam ser devidamente reconhecidos e estudados. Métodos Quarenta e nove professores e médicos foram contactados por e-mail. Dez responderam questionário semi-estruturado acerca de sinais neurológicos conhecidos pelos profissionais, porém nunca publicados. Resultados Foram relatados: 1- Sinal do Travesseiro - na Paralisia Supranuclear Progressiva; 2- Sinal da sandália- nos pacientes funcionais ou simuladores; 3- Sinal do dermografismo- nas meningites agudas da infância; 4- Sinal do rolamento reverso do antebraço- nas paralisias funcionais; 5- Manobra do pedalar- nas síndromes parkinsonianas; 6- Sinal de Sá Cavalcanti- um sucedâneo de Babinski. Revisamos também os seguintes sinais publicados, por sua relevância histórica: o sinal Austregésilo, outro sucedâneo de Babinski; sinal do rolamento do quinto dedo- nas paralisias sutis e o sinal do quinto dedo- na enxaqueca hemiplégia. Conclusão Por meio de metodologia qualitativa, identificamos seis sinais neurológicos inéditos originais. Esses sinais são de fácil reprodutibilidade e têm aplicabilidade clínica potencial, merecendo estudos adicionais.

Impacto da Reforma Cabanis no ensino médico do Brasil: ensaio de arqueologia neofoucaultiana / The impact of Cabanis reform on medical education in Brazil: an essay in neo-Foucauldian archeology

Resumo O ensaio avalia o impacto da Reforma Cabanis na configuração do modelo de formação em saúde que se tornou hegemônico no Brasil. Primeiro, discute o processo de construção social, ideológica e institucional do modelo de assistência à saúde da França pós-revolucionária. Em seguida, introduz os principais elementos da Reforma Cabanis, analisando aspectos curriculares e pedagógicos da nova proposta de ensino médico baseado em profissionalismo, disciplinaridade e especialização que resultou num sistema de ensino superior sem universidades. Depois avalia o processo histórico que resultou no "afrancesamento" do sistema educacional brasileiro, resultando num modelo de formação em saúde baseado em faculdades, hospitais, aulas, disciplinas, especialidades e diplomas.

Abstract This text assesses the impact of the Cabanis reform on the formation of the health training model which became hegemonic in Brazil. First, we shall briefly discuss the process of constructing the social, ideological, and institutional framework for healthcare in post-revolutionary France. Next the main elements of the Cabanis reform are introduced, analyzing curricular and pedagogical aspects of the new plan for medical education based on professionalism, disciplines, and expertise that resulted in a system of higher education without universities. This is followed by assessment of the historical process which resulted in the "Francization" of the Brazilian educational system, particularly in higher education and more specifically medical education, producing a model of health training based on colleges, hospitals, classrooms, disciplines, skills, and diplomas.

Reforma universitaria. A 100 años del manifiesto liminar / University reform. 100 years after the liminal manifesto

El movimiento estudiantil que se inició con la lucha de los estudiantes de Córdoba por la reforma de la universidad señala el nacimiento de una nueva generación latinoamericana. La reforma universitaria se distinguió por instalar la autonomía, el cogobierno, las cátedras libres y la extensión universitaria y, además, produjo dos grandes corrientes culturales, el movimiento reformista y el intelectual reformista. Otros cambios universitarios fueron la asistencia libre complementada con docencia libre y con la periodicidad de cátedra. El movimiento reformista se originó en el rechazo a una forma de enseñanza dominada por el clero y enteramente dependiente del Estado, con el objetivo de alcanzar una universidad autónoma, gratuita y libre. Tuvo, además dos efectos colaterales, uno de los cuales fue la continuidad de los congresos estudiantiles donde se debatían los temas de interés de los propios estudiantes de distintos países del continente. En estas reuniones se afirmó la unión y la solidaridad entre sus diferentes componentes. El segundo efecto fue la defensa de la independencia y la soberanía de los países de América Latina. (AU)

The student movement that began with the struggle of the students of Córdoba for the reform of the university marks the birth of a new Latin American generation. University reform was distinguished by installing autonomy, co-government, free chairs and university extension and, in addition, produced two major cultural currents, the reformist movement and the reformist intellectual. Other university changes were free attendance complemented with free teaching and with the periodicity of chair. The reformist movement was originated in the rejection of a form of education dominated by the clergy and totally dependent on the State, in order to achieve an autonomous, free and free university. It also had two side effects, one was the continuity of the student congresses where the topics of interest of the students from different countries of the continent were discussed. In these meetings the union and solidarity among its different components was affirmed. The second effect was the defense of the independence and the sovereignty of the Latin American countries.

El Museo de Anatomía de la Universidad de Chile, un monumento nacional / The anatomy museum of the University of Chile: a national monument

The accrual of anatomical preparations since the nineteenth century in Santiago, Chile, became the so called "anatomical cabinet" under the supervision of professor Julio F Lafargue. Afterwards, this cabinet evolved to form an anatomical museum in the mid twentieth century. It contained preparations using corpses whose identification was not known. Now, the corpses are donated through a body donation program that started thirty years ago. The collection contains, among other interesting items, a situs inversus preparation, Juan Martel's mummy, Tramond house wax preparations and a jibarized head. Nowadays, the museum is open to the community, its collection is recognized as a national historical monument, and has links with other university museums in the country and abroad.
