Development of Ideas, Brands and Patents in MedicineThe subject, besides fulfilling the primary aim of the “gstrictu senso”h post-graduation of training researchers, combines the need for stimulation, starting at a brilliant idea (the Concept of Intellectual Capital, where the knowledge or creativity can be converted into economic value) up to the development of products, and their branding and patenting. To present the postgraduate students the understanding, skills and attitudes which must be developed to enable getting a brand and patent, from the conception of an idea – To stimulate the creativity of the postgraduate student in the creation of innovative products, which could become innovations with their institutional domain guaranteed.

Orlando de Castro e Silva J_nior, Eduardo Guimar_es Hourneaux de Moura, Wanderley Marques Bernardo 34 MGT5773 4 Concepts which involve the proposed subject: – Idea: The word derives from the Greek idea or eidea, etiological root is eidos _ image. Its significance, since its origin, implies a controversy between the theory of emission (Plato) and that of intromission (Aristotle). At the center of the controversy is the concept of the representation of the real (reality). For Plato, the idea we have from something proves the main principal, of the _intelligible world_, which constituted the Universal Idea, a category which is the basis of his philosophy, idealism. So, the idea of it is a projection of knowledge: upon seeing it, the eyes, emitting rays of light, project the image of the same thing, which exists within us as the universal principle (emission). This doctrine is designed by _idealism_. For Aristotle, the idea of the thing comes from sense experience, from the _world of contingent phenomena_: the things emit copies of themselves, through the light, copies assimilated by senses and interpretated by innate or acquired knowledge (intromission), a doctrine that founds the concept of _realism_. The (brilliant) idea is the basis of everything (four steps: preparation, incubation, illumination and verification). Any time lost after a brilliant idea could be responsible for inhibiting the motivation which created idea, or even raise doubts whether the brilliant idea is really good or not. – Intellectual property: refers, in the broad sense, to the creations of human spirit and to the protective rights of the interests of the creators over their creations. – Trademark: Is a visually perceptible sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of a company, especially in relation to other competitors. – Patent: is a title of temporary ownership over an invention of utility model, granted by the State. With this right, the inventor has the right to prevent third-parties, without their consent, of producing, using, putting for sale, selling or importing the subject of their patent and/or process or product obtained directly by a process patented by him. _Assessment by: above 75% presence in lesson, presentation of seminars with pre-determined topics, performance and interest demonstrated during the discussions. http://www.fm.usp.br/en/portal/
Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases: Advances in Knowledge and Challenges for ControlDespite unprecedented efforts to control malaria, this disease still represents a major public health problem, particularly in Africa. Challenges such as the search for more sensitive point-of-care methods, resistance to antimalarials and to insecticides, strategies to measure transmission, understanding of the immunity and decreases lethality are challenges for the control and elimination. Malaria is the most widespread parasitic disease, putting at risk about 3.3 billion people worldwide, with 198 million cases and 584,000 deaths, especially in children under five years of age and pregnant women. Leishmaniasis and arboviruses such as dengue are among the vector-borne diseases considered neglected by the World Health Organization. Neglected tropical diseases are a group of communicable diseases occrurring in tropical and subtropical conditions in 149 countries and affect more than one billion people, at the cost of billions of dollars each year. They affect mainly populations that live in poverty, in contact with vectors of infectious agents. About 450 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are at risk of contracting tropical diseases. However, according to the WHO, they also affect Latin America, the Middle East and Asia and can emerge in other regions. Leishmaniasis accounts for 1.5 to 2 million new cases per year, with an average lethality of 7%, mainly due to the visceral type. In recent years there has been a resurgence of different arboviruses, among them dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus, whose ability to adapt to different vectors had an impact on the geographical expansion of these diseases. Although most cases present benignly, these arboviruses can occur with severe manifestations. The risk of transmission of these diseases is not limited to populations living in areas at risk, but also to travelers, due to globalization and ease of displacement, thus increasing the concern of worldwide dissemination. The extent of these diseases, coupled with the complex mechanisms of the agent-host-vector relationship in the different phases of the transmission chain, suggests that it is appropriate for academic and public health institutions to devote themselves to the study of the variables involved in their evolution. Thus, the knowledge related to the agents, the hosts, the vectors and the interaction between them, is fundamental to draw efficient strategies of control. In this context, the main challenges are the critical and accurate evaluation of parasitological and molecular diagnostic methods; the immunological mechanisms involved in the etiologic agent-man-vector relationship; the genetic mechanisms of drug resistance; the importance of travel medicine, in order to guide and prevent the risk of infection. It is proposed here a course at a postgraduate level that will provide students with the conditions to develop a critical vision, that arises from the knowledge of challenges, proposals for control and research perspectives in the related field. Training teachers and researchers to develop research on malaria and the main neglected tropical diseases, with an approach in epidemiology and clinical-laboratory diagnosis, encouraging and stimulating the critical thinking related to the knowledge in these diseases.

Body in Perspective in Collective HealthThe subject of the body is classic in the Human and Social Sciences with contributions from different disciplinary fields such as Anthropology, History and Sociology. In the country, the development of this area of __research and the consequent theoretical-conceptual consolidation gained momentum starting in the 1950s. Collective Health, as a field of knowledge and practices, has fostered the constitution of a growing and rich dialogue between the Health and humanities. In this sense, we present the proposal of a discipline on the body proposing the articulation of the disciplinary contributions of Anthropology, History and Sociology in the conformation of the thematic, at the same time, biological and cultural, related to the own social construction of the person and its relevance in the Processes conformed in the care, in the therapeutic practices, in the aesthetic interventions, in the suffering and the pain in face of the processes of illness and in the perception of the body in face of normative processes. The discipline has a theoretical and applied character, allowing to study the articulations of the subject under the referential of the disciplinary fields marked with its applications in the recent researches in the field of health, in addition to enabling, even if still basic, in the critical and reasoned reading of the Productions in the field of health that make use of the mentioned references. 1. Discuss the relationships between body, health, illness and care understood in their symbolic, social and historically constructed dimension; 2. Placing the studies on the body in the field of Human and Social Sciences, starting with the classic nature and culture dichotomy and inserting the contemporary critical debate of this tradition; 3. Contextualize the question of body and identity in the consumer society; 4. Present the concept of stigma and discuss its main repercussions in terms of prejudice, discrimination and exclusion for individuals and populations; 5. Present and discuss definitions about body, forms of care and curative or aesthetic interventions and their main repercussions in health studies; 6. Place the studies on sexuality and reproduction from the perspective of normative / therapeutic perspective on the subject, highlighting the contribution of gender studies in the understanding of the phenomenon that appears as a reference of articulation of the individual and the social, the subjective And the goal; 7. Analyze the relation body and work in contemporary society and its main repercussions in terms of needs of the productive system, training to the time of production, construction of subjectivities, illness and care. Medical School (FM) São Paulo, Pinheiros campus • Body as an object to think about the individual-society relationship in history; • Health-sickness and care in the socio-anthropological perspective; • Body, birth and death; • Corporalities and life cycles; • Body, reproduction and sexuality; • Biomedicine, medicalization and biopolitics of the body; • Work, body and subjectivity; • Body, pain and suffering; • Body, stigma, prejudice and rights.

Cardiology DidacticsThis course is justified by the main objective of the “Strito-Sensu” Graduate Program, which is to train teachers and researchers, responsible for promoting and developing scientific advances, but also know how to transmit them and carry the basic tools for a continuous learning. The didactics must be inserted within the principle of the integral formation of the students that will be trained in the current techniques of transmission of the knowledge. Therefore, didactics is a fundamental foundation in the training of these PG students. On the other hand, it can be observed that there is an intimate relationship between didactics and research, since its dissemination and communication to the scientific community and, even to the laity, must be clear, exact and follow ethical principles within established standards. ournals have specific, internationally established rules and, both publications and presentations, must adhere to the basic principles: ethics, accuracy, clarity, exemption, synthesis and conclusion with no other interests. For all these reasons the Discipline of Didactics in the formation of new PGs is justified. Provide postgraduate students with the basic principles of Didactics fundamentals and techniques, based on efficiency, propriety, precision and clarity in scientific expositions, whether oral or written. The form and content of the presentations are analyzed according to the theoretical bases and practical training.
