Names of medical equipment and words for physiotherapy, hospital laundry, nuclear medicine, dentistry and ophthalmology are some of the linguistic terms in the health area covered by the “Technical Dictionary: Medical Equipment and Technologies applied to Health”, by professors Cláudio Reynaldo Barbosa de Souza and Andrea Borges de Souza, launched on Campus Brotas da Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública, on May 17th. The launching ceremony was attended by Professor Marcos Almeida, coordinator of the Master's Program in Health Technologies at Bahiana, by the Dean of Research, Innovation and Postgraduate Studies Stricto Sensu of Bahiana, Atson Fernandes, from the Dean of Research, Graduate Studies and Innovation at the IFBA, Dr. Vanessa Mendes Santos, from the General Director of the Salvador Innovation Center (IFBA's Special Unit focused on R, D & I and technological services) , Handerson Leite, and SECTI's superintendent of Scientific Development, Dr. Washington de Jesus Sant'anna da Franca Rocha. The ceremony was the result of a partnership with Bahiana with the Federal Institute of Bahia (IFBA).
The work of professors Cláudio Reynaldo Barbosa de Souza and Andrea Borges de Souza translates into a practical and up-to-date guide, with great applicability to the professional environment. In the dictionary, the reader can quickly find the meaning of the nomenclatures given to the equipment and procedures performed, both by doctors and nurses and by employees working in a hospital unit.
"The terms found in the dictionary demonstrate a thorough search of terms and procedures used in the health area, being essential for quick access to their meanings, with a direct description and without failing to address all the details necessary for their understanding", he describes in the foreword to the book David Sadigursky, Master in Orthopedics, University of São Paulo (USP), and professor of Orthopedics at the FTC and UNIFACS Faculties of Medicine. The work also has a presentation text by prof. Marcos Almeida.
