JacopoBerengariodaCarpi是文艺复兴时期的医生,外科医生,和解剖学讲师,他改变了中世纪的解剖学和外科,当时,主要由宗教教条主导-成为基于直接观察的现代科学,经验,尸体解剖.他是一个有成就和创新的神经解剖学和教育家,一位多产的研究人员和出版商,以及一位成功的执业外科医生,他治疗了当时许多著名患者的头部受伤。他发表了一篇关于颅骨骨折的具有里程碑意义的评论,这是历史上第一本专门讨论头部受伤的印刷书籍,成为新医学理解的典范。尽管如此,贝伦加里奥在解剖学方面的成就,医学,神经解剖学,后来变成了神经创伤和神经外科,如果他的工作和研究没有被AndreasVesalius和AmbroiseParé超越,他们都进一步推进了解剖学和医学知识。在这个历史小插图中,我们讨论16世纪意大利的政治状况,向贝伦加里奥·达·卡皮致敬,强调他在建立神经解剖学作为医学领域的工作,成为现代神经科学的先驱。我们还描述了他在神经创伤技术和仪器方面的改进,以及他出版的开创性临床书籍中概述的颅骨骨折和其他脑损伤的解释。最后,我们试图阐明可能的原因,为什么他的科学和专业成就-尽管有巨大的影响-被他更著名的直接接班人的成就所掩盖。
Jacopo Berengario da Carpi was Renaissance-era physician, surgeon, and anatomy lecturer who transformed medieval anatomy and surgery-which were, at the time, dominated mostly by religious dogma-into a modern science based on direct observation, experience, and cadaveric dissection. He was an accomplished and innovative neuroanatomist and educator, a prolific researcher and publisher, and a successful practicing surgeon who treated the head injuries of many renowned patients of that period. He published a landmark commentary on skull fractures that was the first printed book in history devoted to head injuries, which became a model of new medical understanding. Nonetheless, Berengario\'s achievements in anatomy, medicine, neuroanatomy, and what would later become neurotraumatology and neurosurgery, would have been more widely known had his work and research not been surpassed by Andreas Vesalius and Ambroise Paré, both of whom advanced anatomic and medical knowledge even further. In this historical vignette, we discuss the political conditions of sixteenth Century Italy and pay a homage to Berengario da Carpi, emphasizing his work in establishing neuroanatomy as a field of medicine that became a precursor to modern neuroscience. We also describe the improvements he made in neurotraumatology technique and instrumentation, and his explanations of skull fractures and other brain injuries outlined in ground-breaking clinical books he published. Finally, we try to elucidate possible reasons why his scientific and professional achievements-despite of their enormous impact-were overshadowed by the achievements of his more famous immediate successors.
