Nesse sentido, a velocidade de reação durante a defesa pessoal é um aspecto importante a ser abordado; no entanto, a observação e a análise da realidade educacional no Instituto de Ensino Superior do Ministério do Interior, em Santiago de Cuba, revelaram insuficiências que limitam a obtenção de altos níveis de velocidade de reação. O objetivo do estudo foi elaborar uma metodologia para o desenvolvimento da velocidade de reação durante a autodefesa, em cadetes do curso de Ciências de Segurança do Estado do Ministério do Interior. Nessa linha de pensamento, foi realizada uma pesquisa com abordagem mista e desenho quase experimental, utilizando como métodos empíricos a revisão documental, a observação científica e a entrevista não estruturada; foi utilizada a estatística inferencial por meio do teste de postos de Wilcoxon para amostras relacionadas, o que permitiu conhecer a eficiência dos exercícios especiais aplicados. A qualidade da metodologia foi corroborada pelos resultados obtidos na aplicação de critérios de especialistas na variante "Delphi" e no pré-experimento, confirmados por diferentes técnicas estatísticas que destacam a funcionalidade, a sustentabilidade, a relevância e a viabilidade da proposta.

Physical preparation, as part of training of the cadets, seeks to put the practitioner in optimal condition, perfects their natural aptitudes and develops their physical capabilities to the maximum through systematic exercises. In this sense, the speed of reaction during self-defense is an important aspect to address; however, the observation and analysis of the educational reality at the Institute of Higher Education of the Ministry of the Interior, in Santiago de Cuba, revealed insufficiencies that limit the achievement of high levels in reaction speed. The objective of the study was to develop a methodology for the development of reaction speed during self-defense, in the cadets of the State Security Sciences career of the Ministry of the Interior. In this line of thought, research was carried out with a mixed approach and quasi-experimental design that used documentary review, scientific observation and unstructured interviews as empirical methods; inferential statistics was used through the Wilcoxon rank test for related samples, which made it possible to know the efficiency of the special exercises that were applied. The quality of the methodology was corroborated by the results obtained in the application of expert criteria in the "Delphi" variant and of the pre-experiment, confirmed by different statistical techniques that highlight the functionality, sustainability, relevance and feasibility of the proposal.

Treatment Strategy of Leukopenia After Chemotherapy with Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Generation and Transmission of Defense Qi / 中医杂志

By analysing the similarity between defense qi and leukocytes in terms of function， site of action， and circadian rhythm， it is proposed that in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， the pathogenesis of leukopenia is defense qi deficiency. By analyzing the relevant discussions on the generation and transmission of defense qi in TCM classics， it is believed that the original qi in lower jiao （焦） is the source of defense qi， while the water and grain qi in middle jiao enriches defense qi， and the upper jiao transmits and distributes defense qi to the whole body. Therefore， when treating leukopenia after chemotherapy with TCM， Guilu Erxian Gelatin （龟鹿二仙胶） and Yougui Pill （右归丸） are often used to tonify the kidney and supplement essence， and moxibustion at Guanyuan （CV 4） and Qihai （CV 6） is usually accompanied to replenish the original qi in lower jiao and enrich the source of defense qi. Guipi Decoction （归脾汤）， Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤）， Shenling Baizhu Powder （参苓白术散）， and Sijunzi Decoction （四君子汤） are often suggested to strengthen spleen and replenish qi， in combination with moxibustion at Zhongwan （CV 12） and Zusanli （ST 36） to transport the spleen and stomach in the middle jiao to enrich the defense qi. Modified Guizhi Decoction （桂枝汤） to harmonize nutrient and defensive aspects is often used， and moxibustion at Dazhui （GV 14） and Feishu （BL 13） or scraping is added to dredge the striae and interstice in the upper jiao and promote transmission and dissemination of the defense qi. Considering the whole process of generation and distribution of defense qi， it is suggested to choose the most appropriate treatment modality flexibly， and combine internal treatment with external treatment， in order to provide ideas for the treatment of leukopenia in tumour patients.

Investigación científica en el campo de la infancia: consideraciones sobre la aplicabilidad de los requisitos éticos / Scientific research study on childhood: considerations on the applicability of ethical requirements / Pesquisa científica no campo da infância: considerações sobre a aplicabilidade dos requisitos éticos

El artículo aborda un tema particularmente sensible para la investigación científica como lo son los estudios que involucran directamente a niños y niñas. El valor social y la relevancia científica de la investigación en este campo es indudable, sin embargo, su justificación requiere especial detenimiento en las condiciones para el ejercicio de sus derechos antes, durante y después del proceso de investigación. La naturalización de su denominación como "población vulnerable" y el ejercicio de su autonomía relativa, son dos dimensiones principales aquí. El artículo navega por preguntas que no se resuelven aquí precisamente, ¿qué garantías para el proceso efectivo de asentimiento informado?, ¿cómo acompañar en la toma de decisiones sin sustituir al niño y la niña? Sin embargo, sí avanza en la instalación de dilemas y aspectos conceptuales y reflexivos sustantivos en la práctica científica.

The article deals with a particularly sensitive topic for scientific research, such as research studies that directly involve boys and girls. The social value and scientific relevance of research in this field is unquestionable; however, its justification requires special care regarding the conditions of children's rights before, during and after the research process. The naturalization of their denomination as a "vulnerable population" and the exercise of their relative autonomy are the two main dimensions of this study. This paper explores questions that are not answered in it precisely: what guarantees informed consent during the effective process? How to accompany the decision making process without replacing the boy and the girl? However, the study makes progress regarding the setting of substantive conceptual and reflective dilemmas and aspects in scientific practice.

O artigo trata de um tema particularmente sensível para a pesquisa científica, os estudos que envolvem diretamente meninos e meninas. O valor social e a relevância científica da pesquisa neste campo é inquestionável, porém, sua justificativa requer cuidados especiais nas condições de exercício dos direitos da criancas, durante e após o processo de pesquisa. A naturalização de sua denominação como "população vulnerável" e o exercício de sua autonomia relativa são as duas dimensões principais deste paper. O artigo explora por questões que não são aqui resolvidas de forma precisa: quais sao as garantias para o processo efetivo de assentimento informado? Como acompanhar o proceso da tomada de decisões sem substituir o menino e a menina? No entanto, realizamos um avanço na instalação de dilemas e aspectos conceituais e reflexivos substantivos na prática científica.

Progress of pendrin in airway epithelia / 国际儿科学杂志

Pendrin is an electroneutral anion exchanger transporter, residing in the apical region of airway epithelium cells.It is responsible for the reabsorption of chloride(Cl -) and the exchange of bicarbonate(HCO 3－)or thiocyanate(SCN -) to the lumen.It is mainly involved in regulating the pH and thickness of airway surface liquid(ASL), mucin secretion, and airway defense, which is of great significance for maintaining the stability of the airway surface microenvironment.The expression of pendrin is significantly up-regulated in bronchial asthma, which is closely related to the pathological processes of the lung in bronchial asthma, such as airway hyperresponsiveness, neutrophil infiltration, and increased mucin secretion.Inhibiting the function of pendrin may be a new target for the treatment of bronchial asthma.

Antimicrobial Activity and Working Mechanism of Human Ribonuclease A Superfamily / 中国生物化学与分子生物学报

Human RNase A (human RNase A) superfamily contains 13 members (RNase 1~RNase 13) with different biological activities. In addition to the conserved catalytic sequence, its protein structure also has a significant diversity of sequences, which determines that human ribonuclease A can exert biological functions other than ribonuclease activity. Human RNase A superfamily members are expressed in various immune cells such as eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages and can be secreted to exert various biological functions, including anti-microbial activity, promote host defense, participate in angiogenesis and sperm maturation, etc. Some members of the human ribonuclease A superfamily can exert antimicrobial and antiparasitic activities through direct actions such as hydrolysis of viral RNA, inhibition of viral replication, destruction of bacterial cell walls, promotion of microbial aggregation, damage to parasitic cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes, and indirect actions mediated by host innate immune cells, thereby participating in host defense. This article reviews the antimicrobial (including viruses, bacteria, and fungi) and antiparasitic activities of human ribonuclease A and their mechanisms of action. It also prospects the prospects of human ribonuclease A as an active antimicrobial substance and innate immune molecule for the treatment of severe and drug-resistant microbial infections.

Advances in neural circuits of innate fear defense behavior / 浙江大学学报·医学版

Fear, a negative emotion triggered by dangerous stimuli, can lead to psychiatric disorders such as phobias, anxiety disorders, and depression. Investigating the neural circuitry underlying congenital fear can offer insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of related psychiatric conditions. Research on innate fear primarily centers on the response mechanisms to various sensory signals, including olfactory, visual and auditory stimuli. Different types of fear signal inputs are regulated by distinct neural circuits. The neural circuits of the main and accessory olfactory systems receive and process olfactory stimuli, mediating defensive responses like freezing. Escape behaviors elicited by visual stimuli are primarily regulated through the superior colliculus and hypothalamic projection circuits. Auditory stimuli-induced responses, including escape, are mainly mediated through auditory cortex projection circuits. In this article, we review the research progress on neural circuits of innate fear defensive behaviors in animals. We further discuss the different sensory systems, especially the projection circuits of olfactory, visual and auditory systems, to provide references for the mechanistic study of related mental disorders.

Depression, anxiety and defense mechanism among transgender populations / 预防医学

Objective@#To investigate the prevalence of depression and anxiety among transgender populations and the correlation with defense mechanism, so as to provide the evidence for improving mental health among transgender populations. @*Methods@#Transgender populations that visited Psychosexual Outpatient Department of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital for the first time from December 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled. Participants' demographics, depression, anxiety and type of defense mechanisms were collected using self-designed questionnaires, Self-rating Depression Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ). Factors affecting depression and anxiety were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. @*Results@#Totally 126 transgender individuals were enrolled, including 95 men (75.40%) with a mean age of (21.53±4.55) years and 31 women (24.60%) with a mean age of (23.58±5.55) years. The prevalence of depression was 46.83% among participants, including 44.07% of participants with mild depression, 30.51% with moderate depression and 25.42% with severe depression, and the prevalence of anxiety was 26.19% among participants, including 60.61% of participants with mild anxiety, 21.21% with moderate anxiety and 18.18% with severe anxiety. The detection of depression was 54.74% among men and 22.58% among women (P<0.05), and the detection of both depression (62.79% vs. 38.55%, P<0.05) and anxiety (41.86% vs. 18.07%, P<0.05) was significantly higher among transgender populations with self-injury or suicide behaviors than among those without. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that immature defense mechanisms increased the risk of depression (OR=1.034, 95%CI: 1.018-1.051) and anxiety (OR=1.031, 95%CI: 1.014-1.049) among transgender populations, while mature defense mechanisms reduced the risk of depression (OR=0.887, 95%CI: 0.832-0.946) and anxiety (OR=0.878, 95%CI: 0.821-0.938) among transgender populations.@*Conclusions@#The prevalence of depression and anxiety was 46.83% and 26.19% among transgender populations included in this study. Mature defense mechanisms are beneficial to reduce the risk of depression and anxiety among transgender populations. Key words： transgender population depression anxiety defense mechanism

Which variables influence the herbivory amount on Montrichardia spp. (Araceae) in aquatic ecosystems? / ¿Qué variables influyen en la herbivoría en Montrichardia spp. (Araceae) en los ecosistemas acuáticos?

Abstract Introduction: The study of herbivory is fundamental in ecology and includes how plants invest in strategies and mechanisms to reduce herbivore damage. However, there is still a lack of information about how the environment, plant density, and functional traits influence herbivory in aquatic ecosystems. Objective: To assess if there is a relationship between herbivory, environmental variables, and plant traits two species of Montrichardia, a neotropical aquatic plant. Methods: In September 2018, we studied 78 specimens of Montrichardia arborescens and 18 of Montrichardia linifera, in 18 sites in Melgaço, Pará, Brazil. On each site, we measured water depth, distance to the margin, and plant density. From plants, we measured plant height and leaf thickness, and photographed the leaves to calculate the specific leaf area and percentage herbivory. To identify anatomical structures, we collected fully expanded leaves from three individuals per quadrat. Results: For M. arborescens, plants with thicker leaves and higher specific leaf area have less herbivore damage. For M. linifera, plants from deeper sites and with thicker leaves had more herbivore damage, while plants that grew farther from the margin had less damage. We found anatomical structures related to defense, such as idioblast cells with phenolic compounds, and cells with solid inclusions that can contribute to avoiding severe damage. Conclusions: Herbivory in these Montrichardia species can be explained by a combination of plant and environmental traits (patch isolation and water depth). The main plant traits are leaf thickness and area, but chemical compounds and solid inclusions also help Montrichardia to sustain less damage than other macrophytes.

Resumen Introducción: La herbivoría es fundamental para comprender cómo las plantas invierten en diferentes estrategias para evitar la depredación, lo que implica diferentes mecanismos de defensa. Factores relacionados con el medio ambiente, la densidad de plantas y/o los rasgos funcionales de las plantas pueden influir en la herbivoría en los ecosistemas acuáticos. Sin embargo, todavía falta información sobre cómo esos factores influyen en la herbivoría en los ecosistemas acuáticos y pueden contribuir a la carga de herbivoría. Objetivo: Evaluar si existe una relación entre la herbivoría y las variables ambientales (p. ej., profundidad del agua y distancia al margen), los factores ecológicos (densidad de plantas) y los rasgos estructurales de las plantas (altura, grosor de la hoja y área foliar) e indicar estructuras anatómicas que actúen junto con los rasgos estructurales en el sistema de defensa de especies de Montrichardia. Métodos: Se evaluaron 96 individuos de Montrichardia spp. (78 de M. arborescens y 18 de M. linifera, en 18 sitios) recolectados en septiembre de 2018. En cada sitio, se midió la profundidad del agua, la distancia al margen y la densidad de plantas. De los individuos, medimos la altura de la planta, el grosor de la hoja y fotografiamos las hojas para calcular el área foliar específica y la cantidad de herbivoría (en porcentaje). Para identificar las estructuras anatómicas relacionadas con la defensa de las plantas, se recogió hojas completamente expandidas de tres individuos por cuadrante. Resultados: Para M. arborescens, las plantas con hojas más gruesas y mayor área foliar específica tienen menos daño por herbivoría. Para M. linifera, las plantas con hojas más gruesas y que habitan en sitios más profundos tienen más daño por herbívoros, mientras que las plantas más alejadas del margen tienen menos daño por herbívoros. Se encontró estructuras anatómicas relacionadas con la defensa, como células idioblásticas con compuestos fenólicos y células con inclusiones sólidas que pueden contribuir a evitar daños severos en las características de las hojas. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados indican que la herbivoría en las especies de Montrichardia podría explicarse por una combinación de características ambientales (aislamiento del parche y profundidad del agua) y de la planta. Descubrimos que los rasgos de las hojas eran factores importantes que impulsaban los cambios en la carga de herbivoría, especialmente el grosor de las hojas y el área foliar específica. Además, las especies de Montrichardia invierten en compuestos químicos e inclusiones sólidas para evitar daños graves en las hojas y, por lo tanto, pueden sufrir menos daños que otras especies de macrófitos.

Variantes da neurose tipo / Variations of type neurosis / Variantes de la névrose type

Na obra de Sigmund Freud, é possível localizarmos outra teoria da neurose que não está ancorada na existência de sintomas oriundos do processo defensivo próprio ao recalque, como pudemos verificar na constituição da neurose de caráter e das neuroses atuais. A evidência de tal problemática, presente já na elaboração teórica freudiana, nos leva à atualidade de nossa clínica. Na prática psicanalítica contemporânea, nos deparamos, cada vez mais, com fenômenos sintomáticos que não correspondem a sintomas propriamente ditos. O fenômeno da obesidade para alguns sujeitos evidencia uma forma de defesa inconsciente primária, mais arcaica, sem a produção de conflito psíquico e não sendo possível a satisfação da pulsão por meio do sintoma. A obesidade pode ser localizada como uma variante da neurose.

In Sigmund Freud's work it is possible to locate another theory of neurosis that is not anchored in the existence of symptoms arising from the defensive process at work in repression, as we could see in the constitution of the character neurosis and in the current neuroses. The evidence of such a problem, already present in the Freudian theoretical preparation, takes us to the present day of our clinic. In contemporary psychoanalytic practice, we are increasingly faced with symptomatic phenomena that do not correspond to symptoms themselves. The phenomenon of obesity for some subjects is evidence of a primary, more archaic form of unconscious defense, without the production of psychic conflict, and in which it is not possible to satisfy the drive through the symptom. Obesity can be located as a variant of neurosis.

Il est possible de localiser, dans l'œuvre de Sigmund Freud, une autre théorie de la névrose qui n'est pas ancrée dans l'existence de symptômes issus du processus défensif propre au refoulement, comme nous avons pu vérifier dans la constitution de la névrose de caractère et des névroses actuelles. L'évidence d'une telle problématique, présente déjà dans l'élaboration théorique freudienne, nous conduit à l'actualité de notre clinique. Dans la pratique psychanalytique contemporaine, nous sommes confrontés, de plus en plus, à des phénomènes symptomatiques qui ne correspondent pas à des symptômes proprement dits. Le phénomène de l'obésité pour certains sujets met en évidence une forme de défense inconsciente primaire, plus archaïque, sans la production de conflit psychique, n'étant pas possible la satisfaction de la pulsion par le symptôme. L'obésité peut être localisée comme une variante de la névrose

Immature defense mechanisms predict poor response to psychotherapy in major depressive patients with comorbid cluster B personality disorder

Objective: To evaluate the impact of defense mechanisms at baseline on depressive symptoms after brief psychotherapies and after 6-months of follow-up among depressed patients with and without cluster B personality disorders (PDs). Methods: This quasi-experimental study nested within a randomized clinical trial included a clinical sample of adults (18-60 years) diagnosed with major depressive disorder using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III was applied to assess PD, the Defense Style Questionnaire 40 was used to analyze defense mechanisms, and the Beck Depression Inventory was used to measure the severity of depressive symptoms. Adjusted analysis was performed by linear regression. Results: The final sample consisted of 177 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder, of whom 39.5% had cluster B PDs. Immature defenses at baseline significantly predicted the persistence of depressive symptoms at post-intervention and at 6-months of follow-up only in patients with PDs. Conclusion: In depressed patients with cluster B PDs, immature defenses predicted a poor response to brief therapies. The assessment of immature defenses at baseline can help identify patients at greater risk of poor therapeutic results and enable more appropriate treatment choices.

El abordaje teórico-metodológico es constructivo-interpretativo, bajo el lente de la epistemología cualitativa, anclado en el concepto de actuación, que traduce las prácticas y acciones que constituyen el poder administrativo-judicial sobre los niños y adolescentes. Narrativas atravesadas por símbolos y nociones relacionadas con amplias problemáticas sociales, como la representación de las familias y los roles de género, las moralidades relacionadas con la niñez y la adolescencia y la criminalización de la pobreza, son utilizadas como elementos en las narrativas sobre los derechos de la niñez y la adolescencia, actuando como componente de actuaciones profesionales desarrolladas en el área de justicia juvenil.

Abstract: This article presents an analysis of the narratives about the rights of children and adolescents produced by judicial professionals in the children and youth area. The theoretical-methodological approach is constructive-interpretative, under the lens of qualitative epistemology, anchored in the concept of performance, which translates the practices and actions that constitute administrative-judicial power over children and adolescents. Narratives traversed by symbols and notions related to broad social issues, such as the representation of families and gender roles, moralities related to childhood and adolescence and the criminalization of poverty are used as elements in the narratives about the rights of children and adolescents, acting as component of the professional performances developed in the juvenile justice area.

Estratégias de mediação utilizadas por trabalhadores da área de drogas / Mediation strategies used by workers from the drug and alcohol field

As estratégias de mediação, para a psicodinâmica do trabalho, compreendem as estratégias de defesa e as de enfrentamento empregadas pelo trabalhador para mediar o sofrimento laboral. Este estudo visa compreender essas estratégias utilizadas por trabalhadores que executam as políticas públicas sobre drogas no eixo cuidado, em uma cidade do sul do Rio Grande do Sul. De abordagem qualitativa, este estudo é transversal e descritivo, e contou com duas etapas: entrevista individual e questionário sociodemográfico com 20 trabalhadores; e grupo focal com sete participantes no primeiro encontro e outros quatro no segundo. Utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo de Bardin. A priori, foram definidas as categorias estratégias de defesa e estratégias de enfrentamento. Na primeira, as subcategorias encontradas foram: racionalização; negação; desinvestimento afetivo e cognitivo; e isolamento. Na segunda, destacaram-se a transgressão, revoluções moleculares, busca por capacitação e busca por diálogo. Identificou-se a necessidade de espaços de trocas entre o coletivo de trabalhadores. Espera-se subsidiar discussões sobre o funcionamento dos serviços e seu impacto na vida dos trabalhadores, visando promover a saúde mental

Mediation strategies for the psychodynamics of work include not the defense strategies but also confrontation ones, which workers use to mediate labor suffering. This research aims to understand the strategies employed by workers who implement public drug policies on care services in a southern municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This cross-sectional and descriptive study adopted a qualitative approach in two stages: individual interviews and sociodemographic questionnaire with 20 workers; and focal group sessions with seven participants in our first meeting and four, in the second one. To analyze the data, we resorted to Bardin's analysis of content. We defined categories as a priori defense and confrontation strategies. In the first category, we found subcategories such as rationalization, nonacceptance, lack of emotional and cognitive investment, and isolation. In the second category, we highlight the following subcategories: transgression, molecular revolutions, search for training, and quest for dialogue. We also found the need for exchange spaces between workers. We expect to subside discussions about the functioning of services and their impact on workers' lives, aiming to promote mental health

Suffering and defense mechanisms: an analysis of the work of Primary Health Care nurses / Sufrimiento y mecanismos de defensa: análisis del trabajo de enfermeras de la Atención Primaria de Salud / Sofrimento e mecanismos de defesa: análise do trabalho de enfermeiras na Atenção Primária à Saúde

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the suffering and coping strategies of nurses working in Primary Health Care considering the psychodynamics of their work. Methods: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, carried out with 11 nurses working in Primary Health Care. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, systematized, and interpreted using Bardin's content analysis method applied to recurrent themes. Results: The suffering factors related to work in Primary Health Care are difficulties with management, the fragile structure of the health support network, and conflicts with the users. Defensive strategies to minimize these difficulties are the support of hierarchical superiors, the empowerment of the community and users, and communication between team members. Final considerations: It is important that there be changes in the organization of this line of work to improve the workers' health.

The rise of psychoanalysis in US hospitals: William Alanson White at St. Elizabeths, 1903-1937 / El auge del psicoanálisis en los hospitales de EEUU: William Alanson White en St. Elizabeths, 1903-1937

Abstract William Alanson White's views on the function and conceptualization of psychoanalysis shaped the practice of the analytic method in the hospital setting in the United States. Here I explore White's original work and maintain that his understanding of transference, the unconscious, symbolism, language, and defense mechanisms were rooted in both traditional intrapsychic and individualistically oriented conceptions and influenced by his orientation toward social psychiatry. In line with Progressive Era ideals, White considered the new science of psychoanalysis important for healing both the individual as well as society; this mutual influence helped shape the evolution of psychoanalytic principles and informed the treatment of patients undergoing psychoanalysis at St. Elizabeths Hospital.

Resumen Las opiniones de William Alanson White sobre la función y la conceptualización del psicoanálisis dieron forma a la práctica del método analítico en el ámbito hospitalario de los EEUU. Aquí exploro el trabajo original de White y sostengo que su comprensión de la transferencia, el inconsciente, el simbolismo, el lenguaje y los mecanismos de defensa estaban enraizados tanto en las concepciones intrapsíquicas tradicionales como en las de orientación individualista e influenciadas por su orientación hacia la psiquiatría social. Conforme con los ideales de la Era Progresista, White consideró que la nueva ciencia del psicoanálisis era importante para curar tanto al individuo como a la sociedad; esta influencia mutua ayudó a dar forma a la evolución de los principios psicoanalíticos y mostró el tratamiento de los pacientes sometidos a psicoanálisis en el Hospital St. Elizabeths.

Huesos de la cabeza neumatizados. Enfoque unitario / Pneumatized Head Bones. Unitary Approach

Introducción: muchos huesos que forman el esqueleto de la cabeza humana y muchas especies de animales están neumatizados. Se han planteado múltiples hipótesis con diversos enfoques con la intención de explicar la existencia de estos espacios aéreos. De todos los huesos con estas características en humanos, solamente los senos paranasales y la neumatización del hueso temporal han sido objeto de múltiples hipótesis. La diversidad de criterios denota un desacuerdo, si no con todos, con la mayoría de ellos. Material y métodos: esta teoría se basa en reflexiones personales apoyadas en radiografías e imágenes anatómicas de los huesos frontal y temporal, con el objetivo de ilustrar y reforzar las razones de la existencia de estas cavidades en todas las especies que las poseen. Resultados, discusión y conclusiones: estos espacios de aire se forman en el cuerpo de los huesos cortos como un mecanismo de defensa natural al reemplazar el tejido esponjoso para prevenir infecciones graves del mismo (osteomielitis), que dada su proximidad al cerebro y sus estructuras representaría un peligro para la vida. Consideramos que los laberintos etmoidales fueron creados con el objetivo de llenar el espacio vacío entre los huesos vecinos y dar estabilidad al esqueleto óseo circundante. La neumatización del hueso temporal (hueso compacto) fue creada para "alojar y proteger" importantes estructuras de los sentidos del oído y del equilibrio, los vasos y los nervios.

Introduction: Many bones that make up the skeleton of the human head and many species of animals are pneumatized. Multiple hypotheses with various approaches have been stated with the intention of explaining the existence of these airspaces. Of all the bones with these characteristics in humans, only the paranasal sinuses and pneumatization of the temporal bone have been the subject of multiple hypotheses. The diversity of criteria denotes disagreement, if not with all, with the majority of them. Material and methods: This theory is based on personal reflections supported by x-rays and anatomical images of the frontal and temporal bones, with the aim of illustrating and reinforcing the reasons for the existence of these cavities in all species that possess them. Results, discussion and conclusions: These air spaces are formed in the body of short bones as a natural defense mechanism by replacing the spongy tissue to prevent serious infections of the same (osteomyelitis), which given its close proximity to the brain and its structures would represent a danger to life from its emergence. We consider that the ethmoid labyrinths were created with the aim of filling the empty space between the neighboring bones to give stability to the surrounding bone skeleton. The pneumatization of the temporal bone, compact bone, was created to "house and protect" important structures of the senses of hearing and balance, vessels and nerves
