153 3 Special Activities of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies H. August van Alphen Armando Basso Jacques Brotchi chapter 3 154 155 3.1 Publications of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies H. August van Alphen From the early days, it has been an ardent desire of the World Federation to have its own medium of communication to facilitate the dissemination of information between the Administrative Council and the membership and between the members themselves, and as a scientific platform. Over the years, various forms of bulletins, newsletters and publications in the field of neurosurgical science have been estab- lished and utilized for varying periods of time. In almost all cases, the production of these issues on a large scale and the worldwide distribution appeared to be a major problem and too great a financial burden for the Federation. With a single exception, therefore, these productions were short-lived. In recent years, electronic mail and the internet have proven to be very effective means for disseminating information - also for the World Federation; the problems of the past seem to have been solved. In this chapter, we will review the various publications of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies one by one. Bulletin of the World Federation Neurosurgical Societies In 1963, on the recommendation of the President of the World Federation, Dr. E. Busch (Denmark), the Administrative Council decided to start a News Bulletin in which announcements about neurosurgical affairs and items of interest would be published. Dr. W.B. Scoville (usa) was appointed Editor with the president and two secretaries as an advisory editorial board. -

Laws Kintomo Takakura Jorge Mendez Sayed El Gindi Donald Simpson-Noel Dan chapter 4 176 177 4.1 Europe and the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies H. August van Alphen History In Europe, the operative management of skull injuries, a dire necessity particularly in wartime, has been applied from time immemorial. As early as the 4th century bc, Hippocrates (around 460-375 bc) of Kos, Greece wrote an outstanding scientific treatise entitled ‘Peri ton tes kephales tromaton’, or in Latin ‘De capitis vulneribus’, in which the surgery of the head was described (14). Since the early sixteenth century, this management has been practised fairly systematically. In Italy, Giacomo Berengario da Carpi (ca. 1470-1530) was an expert on head trauma. He wrote the first separate book on head injuries in 1518, in which he described the causes of trauma and different types of cranial fracture. He drew attention to the relationship between location and clini- Title pages of two books on Head Injuries by Giacomo Beregario da Carpi (1535 and 1629) chapter 4 178 179 Two trepans made by Ambroise Paré (1575) Ambroise Paré (left) and Andreas Vesalius behind the table at the deathbed of Henri ii. The French King suffered a penetrating head injury due to a lance blow above his left eye in a medieval-style tournament with the Count of Montgomery on 30th June 1559. Despite the presence of many doctors, including Paré, the court immediately sent for Vesalius from Flanders, who was dispatched to Paris on 2nd July. -
