ABSTRACT
En la Inglaterra del siglo XI, un huérfano de 8 años llegará a ser el aprendiz de un cirujano-barbero. Aprende las habilidades básicas de este oficio (sacar dientes, hacer sangrías y pequeñas cirugías) pero no es suficiente. Así que decidirá llegar a ser un médico. Para ello, viajará a Oriente Medio donde se encuentra la más famosa escuela de Medicina. En Persia, logrará entrar como alumno en la madrasa de Ibn Sina (Avicena) donde recibirá una formación teórica y práctica de la medicina, así como de otras disciplinas para lograr ser un médico. (AU)
England, XI century, an 8-year-old orphan becomes a surgeon-barber apprentice. Learning basic skills of this trade (pulling teeth, bloodletting and minor surgeries) but this is not enough. So he decides to become a physician travelling to Middle East, where the most famous medical school of the world was. In Persia, he will be able to enroll as student at Ibn Sina´s madrasa (Avicenna) where he will receive theoretical and practical training in medicine as well as other disciplines to become a physician.

La historia de la Medicina está directamente relacionada con el surgimiento del hombre. Desde los tiempos de Hipócrates, antes de nuestra era, cuando existía la incertidumbre de definirla como arte o ciencia, no hubo un médico que entregara tanto aporte verdaderamente investigativo, con carácter científico como Avicena, sabio indiscutible del Medioevo, de los siglos X y XI de la época contemporánea. Su herencia a la humanidad fue muy importante, en especial sobre Filosofía y Medicina, aunque consolidó conceptos y conocimientos de prácticamente todas las áreas del saber. Su nombre llegó casi a ser sinónimo de la propia Medicina. Su monumental obra contribuyó, sin dudas, al desarrollo y a la sedimentación de la civilización humana, trascendó las fronteras del tiempo hasta la actualidad. Fue un hombre multifacético admirable, pero especialmente un médico teórico y práctico incomparable, que con su claridad de ideas y con elevado rigor científico, se trasladó de modo extraordinario hasta la época actual. Su frescura de pensamiento, sus razonamientos, su creatividad científica de fuerza titánica y un estilo único, fueron y aún son, elementos fundamentales para la expansión y el desarrollo de la ciencia universal. En nuestro medio existe poca información sobre la personalidad y la obra de tan distinguida persona, por lo que se realiza la siguiente revisión con el objetivo de profundizar en estos aspectos de su vida y divulgarlos al personal médico en formación(AU)
The history of the Medicine is directly related with the man's emergence. From the times of Hipócrates, before our era, when the uncertainty existed of defining it as art or science, there was not a doctor that gave to this so much truly investigative contribution, with scientific character as Avicena, unquestionable sage of the Middle Ages, of the centuries X and XI of the contemporary time. Its inheritance to the humanity was very important, particularly on Philosophy and Medicine, although it consolidated concepts and knowledge of practically all the areas of the knowledge. Their name ended up almost being synonymous of the own Medicine. Their monumental work contributed, without doubts, to the development and the sedimentation of the human civilization, transcending the frontiers of the time until the present. It was an admirable multifaceted man, but very especially an incomparable theoretical and practical doctor that with their clarity of ideas and with high scientific rigor, it transferred incredibly and in an extraordinary way until the current time. Their thought freshness, their reasoning, their scientific creativity of titanic force and an unique style, they were and they are still, fundamental elements for the expansion and the development of the universal science. In our means little information exists about the personality and so distinguished person's work, for which we carried out the following bibliographical review with the objective to deepen in these aspects of his life and to disclose them to the medical personnel in formation(AU)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the hemodynamic parameters of blood flow in a balloon as a part of a new type of cardiac assist device named AVICENA, which is implanted into the descending aorta to improve the strength of pumping blood flow in a poor-performing left ventricle. Balloon is inflated and deflated during diastole and systole, respectively. The longitudinal velocity of blood flow during balloon inflation and deflation has been considered. Through these investigations, the result reveals that the balloon inflation causes the blood flow to accelerate through the balloon and compensates the blood flow velocity required for the normal circulation system. When the balloon deflates, a reverse flow is generated and improves the perfusion of coronary arteries. Furthermore, the inlet pressure and acting force on the aortic valve for the healthy, unhealthy, and assisted heart have been compared. Result indicates that the force acting on the aortic valve has been considerably reduced for the assisted heart compare to the unhealthy or unassisted heart.
