Primer that aims to show that memory, one of the most important components of the system, is a fundamental pillar for the survival of human beings and where it is not possible to conceive the world without the existence of this cognitive function. In its absence, the evolution of people would be limited to an infinite perception of images, sounds and sensations that would be lost in time, there would be no place

The knowledge of the characteristics of pain and its impact on the quality of life of older adults represents a valuable contribution to the field of clinical gerontology, since it allows to improve the understanding of the phenomena that arise as a consequence of the nociceptive process and serves as a starting point to qualify the management of these patients. This publication is the result of the work developed in the Aging and Old Age Research Group of the Medicine Program of the Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales U.D.C.A., which materialized in the project “Clinical characteristics of pain in older adults of the Fundación Santa Sofía para la Atención del Anciano en Bogotá D.C.”.

Arterial hypertension is a condition that affects one out of every three adults around the world, making it a serious public health problem, given the seriousness of the complications derived from cardiovascular compromise, including myocardial infarction, cerebral vascular disease, heart failure and kidney disease, among others. In this regard, it is worth remembering that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, with nearly nine million deaths each year, and have a great impact on the quality of life of those who suffer from them. This book seeks to present, in an orderly and didactic manner, updated and practical information about this disease, with a life-cycle approach, so that it can be used as study and reference material by students and health professionals, in academic practice and care, and as reference and analysis material for the general public.

Anatomy is as old as mankind. Primitive man was concerned about investigating what he had around him, the phenomena and also wanted to know about its origin and also about his body anatomy. To achieve this knowledge, he made use of comparative anatomy, in order to differentiate structures with those of the animals he killed to survive. The anatomy of the 19th century has been integrated with molecular and evolutionary biology, comparative anatomy, auxology supported by diagnostic images, such as magnetic resonance imaging and scanography, which have allowed expanding knowledge of anatomy in the living being. In this second part, it is studied, in its chapters: Endocranium and Cranial Orifices; Bones of Face and Skull; Muscles of Facial Expression and Parotid Gland; Trigeminal and Facial Nerves; Orbit and Ocular Globe; Nasal Fossae and Paranasal Sinuses; Ear; Superficial Neck and Triangles; Deep Neck; Larynx; Supraclavicular Region; Supraclavicular, Retro sternum; Costal Grid and Diaphragm; Mediastinum; Pleura and Pericardium; Lungs, Bronchus and Trachea; Heart; Clinical Correlation of the Heart; Abdominal Wall; Peritoneum and Small Intestine; Stomach and Spleen; Pancreas and Duodenum; Large Intestine; Liver and Biliary Tract; Solar Plexus, Lumbrosac and Retroperitoneum; Kidney, Urinary System and Bladder; Internal Iliac Artery and Sacral and Hypogastric Plexuses; Endopelvis and Pelvic Walls; Bladder, Rectum and Anus; Male and Female Perineum; Male Genitalia; Female Genitalia.

In this first part, it is studied, in its chapters: General anatomy, anatomical position and nomenclature; General osteology, arthrology, myology; General respiratory and cardiovascular systems; General neuroanatomy; Superficial and deep back, neck and rachis; Osteology and arthrology of upper limbs; Shoulder and scapular region; Pectoral region, mammary gland, brachial plexus and axilla; Anterior and posterior arm; Anterior and posterior forearm; Hand and clinical evaluation of upper limbs; Osteology of the lower limb; Lumbar and lumbosacral plexus; Gluteal region and hip; Anterior and posterior thigh, popliteal region; Anterior and posterior leg; Foot dorsum and sole and clinical evaluation of lower limbs; Ontogeny and phylogeny of the central nervous system; Cerebral cortex and functional areas; Diencephalon, midline nuclei, thalamus; Brain stem, meninges, CSF ventricle; Cerebellum; Arterial and venous circulation, nervous system; Ascending and descending pathways; Cranial nerves 2,5 and 7; Cranial nerves 3. 4.6.8.9.10.11.12 and extraocular muscles; Olfactory limbic, hypothalamus and neurovegetative nervous system; Clinical evaluation central nervous system.

The Manual of Morphology of the Heart contains all the updated aspects related to anatomy, developmental biology, comparative anatomy and the steps to perform a correct dissection of the heart; it also contains the basic techniques of dissection, physiology and pathology. The Manual is intended to serve as a guide text for learning, highlighting the most important structures of this organ; in addition, it contains didactic photos, in which the relationships, vascular structures and the entire procedure carried out in dissection can be observed. By means of this dissection technique, the most relevant structures can be shown, in order to guide, in a practical and applicative way, the study of the anatomy of the heart, with the advantage of having the respective conventions, to make the learning process easier.

The Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales U.D.C.A., through its Nursing Program, organized this event from March 15 to 17, 2012, with the participation of national and international speakers and compiled the presentations in CD format.
