Este artigo busca compreender a importância das pesquisas de Roger Bastide, como um provocador da virada epistemológica nos estudos afro-brasileiros, marcando um novo lugar de percepção, a partir do qual se vem buscando analisar as ricas e complexas redes de construção no seio das religiões e religiosidades afro-brasileiras. Bastide foi o primeiro pesquisador no Brasil que buscou, de forma interdisciplinar, compreender a construção das religiões africanas no Brasil, a partir da perspectiva do próprio negro. O presente trabalho busca apresentar alguns momentos dos estudos afro-brasileiros sobre o sincretismo afro-católico, como cenário para compreender o salto qualitativo que a pesquisa de Roger Bastide provocou nos estudos sobre o sincretismo afro-católico no Brasil.Palavras-chave: Roger Bastide, Sincretismo afro-católico, Sincretismo religiosoTHE IMPORTANCE OF ROGER BASTIDE AS A "TURNING POINT" FOR THE STUDIES OF AFRO-BRAZILIAN RELIGIONSAbstract:This article aims to understand the researches of Roger Bastide, as a provocateur of the “epistemological turn”, in Afro-Brazilian studies, marking a new perception from which one has been searching analyzing the rich and complex network of construction within religions and Afro-Brazilian religiosities. Bastide was the first researcher in Brazil who sought, in an interdisciplinary way, to understand the construction of African religions in Brazil, from the perspective of the black person/black himself. The present study seeks to present some moments of Afro-Brazilian studies on Afro-Catholic syncretism as a scenario to understand the qualitative improvement that Roger Bastide's research has provoked in the studies on Afro-Catholic syncretism in Brazil.Keywords: Roger Bastide, Afro-Catholic Syncretism, Religious Syncretism

There are few Brazilian studies on neuropsychomotor follow-up after open-heart surgery with circulatory bypass in infants. Twenthy infants had neurodevelopmental outcomes (neurological exam and Denver II test) assessed before open-heart surgery, after intensive care unit discharge and 3-6 months after hospital discharge. Heart lesions consisted of septal defects in 11 cases (55%). The mean circulatory bypass time was 67 ± 23.6 minutes. Fifteen infants had altered neurological examination and also neurodevelopment delay before surgery. After 6 months it was observed normalization in 6 infants. When Denver II test indexes were analysed, it was observed an improvement in all domains except personal-social. Although those infants were in risk of new neurological findings, an early improvement on neuropsychomotor indexes were seen.

CONTEXT: The reality of medical services in Brazil points towards expansion and diversification of medical knowledge. However, there are few Brazilian studies on choosing a medical specialty. OBJECTIVE: To investigate and characterize the process of choosing the medical specialty among Brazilian resident doctors, with a comparison of the choice between general medicine and surgery. TYPE OF STUDY: Stratified survey. SETTING: Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo (HC-FMUSP). METHODS: A randomized sample of resident doctors in general medicine (30) and surgery (30) was interviewed. Data on sociodemographic characteristics and the moment, stability and reasons for the choice of specialty were obtained. RESULTS: The moment of choice between the two specialties differed. Surgeons (30%) choose the specialty earlier, while general doctors decided progressively, mainly during the internship (43%). Most residents in both fields (73% general medicine, 70% surgery) said they had considered another specialty before the current choice. The main reasons for general doctors' choice were contact with patients (50%), intellectual activities (30%) and knowledge of the field (27%). For surgeons the main reasons were practical intervention (43%), manual activities (43%) and the results obtained (40%). Personality was important in the choice for 20% of general doctors and for 27% of surgeons. DISCUSSION: The reasons found for the choice between general medicine and surgery were consistent with the literature. The concepts of wanting to be a general doctor or a surgeon are similar throughout the world. Personality characteristics were an important influencing factor for all residents, without statistical difference between the specialties, as was lifestyle. Remuneration did not appear as a determinant. CONCLUSION: The results from this group of Brazilian resident doctors corroborated data on choosing a medical specialty from other countries with different social and educational characteristics. This congruence indicates that the choice involves very similar desires and needs in different settings and has little dependence on the students' educational context.

ABSTRACT Objective: To create a method to measure the overall coronal plane of the spine, called the sacral clavicular angle (SCA). Methods: A line is drawn at the base of the sacrum; a second central line is drawn perpendicular to the first one in the proximal extension of the spine. A third line is drawn passing through the intersections of the superior points of the clavicles with the two second ribs, forming two angles, the greater of which is measured. Therefore, the degrees exceeding 90° are the SCA values. This tool was tested retrospectively in a study of 46 patients with idiopathic scoliosis who underwent short, apical, single or multiple fixations. Third generation instrumentation was used and the SCA was evaluated in the pre- and postoperative periods, which were compared with another group of 46 patients treated with the traditional technique. Results: Patients submitted to the traditional fixation method presented a median SCA of 3° in the preoperative period, and in the postoperative period, the SCA remained in 3°. Therefore, there was a 0% reduction. Patients submitted to short, apical, single or multiple fixation method presented a median preoperative SCA of 6°, and a postoperative median SCA of 1°, a reduction of approximately 83%. Conclusions: The group treated with short, apical, single or multiple instrumentation presented a reduction in the SCA of approximately 83% in the postoperative period compared to the preoperative period. The difference between preoperative and postoperative values was considered statistically significant. Level of Evidence II; Retrospective study.

In recent years considerable technological advances have been made with the purpose of improving the surgical results in the treatment of eloquent lesions. The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the postoperative surgical outcome in 42 patients who underwent surgery to remove lesions around the motor cortex, in which preoperative planning by using neuroimaging exams, anatomical study, appropriate microsurgery technique and auxiliary methods such as cortical stimulation were performed. Twenty-two patients (52.3%) presented a normal motor function in the preoperative period. Of these, six developed transitory deficit. Twenty patients (47.6%) had a motor deficit preoperatively, nevertheless 90% of these improved postoperatively. Surgery in the motor area becomes safer and more effective with preoperative localization exams, anatomical knowledge and appropriate microsurgery technique. Cortical stimulation is important because it made possible to maximize the resection reducing the risk of a motor deficit. Stereotaxy method was useful in the location of subcortical lesions.
