Aunque mucho podría dilucidarse sobre la necesidad de capacitar al profesional de la medicina en redacción científica, la importancia puede reducirse en esencia a señalar que un trabajo científico, por importante o espectacular que sea, no termina hasta que sus resultados se publican. El objetivo central de la ciencia es generar conocimiento, pero ese conocimiento no tiene ningun significado si no es difundido."Redaccion del escrito medico para medicina basada en evidencias"responde a una necesidad de gran importancia en un mundo donde los descubrimientos y las nuevas tecnologias se amplian y renuevan dia a dia, y cuyos resultados, como bien señala Robert A. Day, solo se muestran hasta que son publicados. El Dr. Jose Osvel Hinojosa Perez responde a esa necesidad de difundir el conocimiento y entrega a sus colegas algo mucho mas que un manual para redactar un escrito medico. Su trabajo se basa en una preceptiva y una normatividad que a lo largo del tiempo se ha ido desarrollando. La medicina basada en evidencias, ese continuo reflexionar con base en la teoria y la experiencia encuentra en esta publicacion un vehiculo apropiado donde el metodo cientifico y la metodologia de la enseñanza caminan de la mano. Un texto que todo medico, estudiante de medicina, profesional de las ciencias de la salud o cualquier person...

L'epidèmia del coronavirus està capgirant la manera com entenem el món i la medicina, que és tant com capgirar la manera com entenem la vida. La irrupció de la COVID-19 ha fet que ens replantegéssim

by Clayton, Julie (Editor), and Dennis, Carina (Editor), and Campbell, Philip (Foreword by) Crick and Watson's discovery of the structure of DNA 50 years ago marked one of the great turning points in the history of science.

This edited volume of original essays brings together researchers from around the world who are exploring the facets of health care organization and delivery that are sometimes marginal to mainstream patient safety theories and methodologies but offer important insights into the socio-cultural and organizational context of patient safety. By examining these critical insights or perspectives and drawing upon theories and methodologies often neglected by mainstream safety researchers, this collection shows we can learn more about not only the barriers and drivers to implementing patient safety programmes, but also about the more fundamental issues that shape notions of safety, alternate strategies for enhancing safety, and the wider implications of the safety agenda on the future of health care delivery. In so doing, A Socio-cultural Perspective on Patient Safety challenges the taken-for-granted assumptions around fundamental philosophical and political issues upon which mainstream orthodoxy relies.

For much of the developed world, health care for a surging elderly population looms as one of the most daunting problems of the coming decade. In this book, contributors from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and countries discuss resource allocation for the elderly and debate plans for the years ahead. Essays focus on five general issues: the meaning of old age, the goals of medicine and health care for the elderly, the balance between the needs of the young and old, the pressures of other social priorities, and the role of families, especially the burden on women, in long-term care.In consideration of the difficult moral and practical issues involved, the editors conclude the volume with a special report containing policy recommendations from representatives of eight countries (the United States, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom). This important volume will be of interest to policymakers and a broad spectrum of health care professionals, as well as to anyone interested in the fate of the elderly or in coming health care challenges.

Ad Natvram Mortis Reqviri Mentis A Corpore Diastasin, Non Solam Dialysin, Occasione Loci Act. Xx, 10. Dissertatione Elenchtica ... is a theological and philosophical discourse by Romanus Teller, written in Latin. The work explores the nature of death, specifically arguing that death requires a separation (diastasis) of the mind from the body, not merely a dissolution (dialysis). The argument is presented elenctically, meaning through a method of cross-examination and refutation, prompted by the passage Acts 20:10. This text provides insight into 18th-century theological and philosophical perspectives on the relationship between mind, body, and soul in the face of mortality.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has historically been concerned with the protection of human subjects. In July 1977, the NIA sponsored a meeting to update and supplement guide lines for protecting those participating in Federal research pro jects. Although the basic guidelines had been in effect since 1966, it had been neglected to include the elderly as a vulnerable population. In November 1981, the NIA organized a conference on the ethical and legal issues related to informed consent in senile dementia cases. The present volume offers the latest and best thinking on Alzheimers Dementia to have emerged from the dialog that was first embarked upon at the NIA meeting. Indeed, the issues and concerns it treats now seem even more relevant than they appeared historically because of the vastly greater awareness in the community of the entire spectrum of problems Alzheimers disease confronts us all with. Our interest and concern is both humanitarian and self serving. Clearly older people must be protected from in appropriate research and careful attention must be paid to the circumstances under which research is conducted on those older persons who have given anything less than full consent. It is equally necessary, however, for the research enterprise to be protected so that todays elderly and those of the future can benefit from the fruits of research.

El mayor deseo de quien se enfrenta a una enfermedad terminal es el de ser atendido en sus necesidades y acompañado en sus miedos. Pide, casi siempre sin palabras, ser reconocido y respetado como persona, de modo que su enfermedad y desvalimiento no comprometan su dignidad.Las historias recogidas en este libro no son inventadas, sino que proceden de la experiencia del autor, voluntario en la unidad de cuidados paliativos de un gran hospital de Bruselas, en Belgica, donde la eutanasia fue despenalizada en 2002. Todas ellas muestran, desde el respeto y la serenidad, como las unidades de cuidados paliativos ofrecen de hecho una alternativa humana y humanizadora frente a la eutanasia. Su secreto no puede ser mas sencillo: favorecer ante todo una relacion personal, promover la solidaridad, crear un clima de gratitud y amor donde sea posible aceptar el natural desarrollo del proceso de final de la vida.Solo cuando se dan estas condiciones, las personas pueden aprender a liberarse gradualmente de todas las ataduras que condicionan su existencia y ayudar a quienes les rodean a descubrir que, en el final, lo que permanece indeleble son las experiencias y expresiones de amor compartidas.Attilio Stajano es doctor en Fisica por la Universidad de Roma La Sapienza. Ha dedicado su vida profesional a la docencia y la investigacion de las tecnologias de la informacion. Desde 2008 colabora como voluntario en unidades de cuidados paliativos de Belgica e Italia.

Is our present health care system biased against people with limited education and income? Does every American have a moral right to health care? If so, what kinds of care and how much? In a provocative look at American health care delivery, Charles J. Dougherty considers these and many other questions. His book fills an important niche in contemporary medical ethics and public health literature by combining a description and analysis of the American health care system--as it actually operates today--with an assessment of recent philosophical writings on justice. In the first section, Dougherty describes inequalities in health care delivery to blacks, the poor, and the less educated. He then reviews the philosophical theories of utilitarianism, egalitarianism, contractarianism, and libertarianism; applies them to health care issues; and argues for a moral right to health care. He considers available policy alternatives, concluding that the empirical data and our understanding of justice and human rights should commit us to a national health care plan supported by national health insurance
