Wybrane problemy bioetyczne w rozumieniu Kościołów pentekostalnych i Kościoła katolickiego. Studium teologiczno-porównawcze
2018
Rozwój nauk medycznych stwarza potrzebę oceny, które z nowych odkryć służą rzeczywiście dobru człowieka, a które są zagrożeniem dla jego egzystencji, godności i nienaruszalności. Przygnębiającym jest fakt, iż wyznawcy Chrystusa nie tylko są podzieleni w kwestiach wielu artykułów wiary, ale także mają odmienne nauczanie dotyczące norm etycznych. Niespodziewanie nauka moralności pentekostalnej oraz katolickiej w problematyce aborcji, zapłodnienia pozaustrojowego in vitro i eutanazji w wielu punktach okazuje się zbieżna. Obie tradycje stoją na stanowisku, że życie ludzkie zaczyna się w momencie zapłodnienia i ma szczególną wartość, aborcja jest złem i niedopuszczalne jest stosowanie praktyk ma…
The Undesired Other
2019
Over the recent years, the theme of abortion has set in the agenda of many countries. Although the abortion law was already present in France, the US and the UK, in some other countries the law was recently sanctioned just after the 2000s. This chapter deals with the problem of hospitality in the days of terrorism. From different angles, this chapter explores the question of abortion and the ideas of hospitality and multiculturalism, points that modern terrorism has instilled as necessary debates. We hold the thesis that the modern self has serious problems to understand the alterity when it confronts the own desires. The right of legal abortion should be framed as a decline of hospitality,…
Contemporary performance art by Helena Walsh: embodiment as empowerment in an Irish context
2016
Ever since the 1970s, performance artists have used their bodies as a means to question the patriarchal control of women. In Ireland, where the body is at the center of debates over contraception, abortion and divorce, feminist performance art has proved particularly pertinent to substitute the real experiential body to the allegorical or fetishized female body. Through her performances, Helena Walsh incites the viewers to respond to the effect of ideology on the physical body. Embodiment, impersonation and incorporation make the body explicit and reopen historical wounds.
Foliar fertilization in ‘Nocellara del Belice’ olive trees
2008
Eight-year-old olive trees of ‘Nocellara del Belice’ grown in central Sicily were treated with five different types/combinations of organic and mineral foliar fertilizers. Floral 20-20-20 (mineral N, P, K, and microelements; FLO), Alga (extract of brown algae; ALG), FLO+ALG, Azomin (organic N, amino acids and peptides; AZO), Supernat93 (organic N and K, distillation residue; SUP), and water (CONTROL) were applied four times during summer and fall 2002. Yield and trunk circumference were measured during fall 2002, whereas other vegetative and reproductive parameters were measured during spring-fall 2003. AZO and SUP trees produced more than CONTROL and ALG ones, whereas only AZO trees showed…
Organització social i atenció mèdica a la Cocentaina baixmedieval: el procés a Abrahim Abengalell (1318)
2005
In the bordering judicial courts of the valencian Kingdom could be seen a characteristic fellowship between christian and jewish sanitary practitioners, who attended patients, men and women, that belonged to both religions, in the same professional practice where a new system based on the academic medicine was being developed.
Medical abortion: Teratogenic effects of misoprostol.
2015
Some 40 million abortions are performed around the world every year. In Spain, this figure reached 112,390 in 2011. Of these, approximately 5% were medical abortions. This percentage varies widely ...
IVIG in APS pregnancy
2004
For more than two decades, the intravenous administration of high doses of IgG pooled from the plasma of healthy donors (immune globulin therapy, also known as ‘IVIG’) has benefited patients with a variety of autoimmune disorders. A potential therapeutic role of IVIG in the prevention of thrombosis and of miscarriages in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has been postulated. Multicenter randomized controlled trials attempted to define the role of IVIG in preventing pregnancy complications in APS indicate that simple anticoagulation could not be completely satisfactory, and certain patient subgroups might take advantage of IVIG therapy alone or in combination with heparin.
Alleles and haplotypes of the estrogen receptor alpha gene are associated with an increased risk of spontaneous abortion.
2010
Objective To investigate whether polymorphisms in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) or beta (ERβ) genes are associated with a risk of miscarriage. Design A retrospectively analyzed, prospectively obtained database of cases and controls. Setting University hospital menopause unit. Patient(s) 177 women with at least one spontaneous abortion and 442 controls with at least one live birth and no history of miscarriage. Intervention(s) None. Main Outcome Measure(s) Genotype frequencies and odd ratios for abortion risk in cases and controls for four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in intron 1 (C>T and A>G), intron 4 (A>T), and exon 8 (T>C) for the ERα gene, and two SNPs located in intro…
Re-Thinking the Use of Conscientious Objection by Health Professionals: A Regulatory Proposal Based on Legal Abortion Practices in Argentina
2019
“Ninety percent of health-care practitioners will not perform abortions,” warned physicians in Chaco, a province in north-eastern Argentina, during the debate in Argentina’s Senate to extend the legalization of abortion in July 2018. Around this same time, in a nearby province, Misiones, every physician in one hospital declared that they would register as conscientious objectors should the legislation prove successful. Just a few days earlier, Argentina’s press reported that more than 200 girls had been raped and forced to give birth in Misiones, without access to legal abortion under the rape indication. In Argentina abortion is legally permitted in cases where a pregnancy presents a risk …
Distribution of osteonectin mRNA and protein during human embryonic and fetal development.
1992
We investigated the temporal and spatial distribution of osteonectin during human embryonic and fetal development, using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Osteonectin gene expression was generally found in cells exhibiting high rates of matrix production/proliferation. In mineralized tissue, a strong signal was obtained in osteoblasts, odontoblasts, and chondrocytes of the upper hypertrophic and proliferative zones. Chondrocytes of the mineralized zone showed no expression throughout the different stages of development. Strong osteonectin expression was found in odontoblasts of developing teeth. In addition, osteonectin mRNA and protein were detected in several non-mineralize…
