Queratoconjuntivitis epidémicas en el trabajo. Reflexiones en torno a su manejo y catalogación
2019
Introducción: las conjuntivitis epidémicas presentan alto riesgo de contagio. Pueden tener etiología laboral. Objetivos: conocer datos epidemiológicos y cuantificar costes económicos; aportar información sobre manejo y catalogación. Material / Métodos: estudio descriptivo-retrospectivo de una serie de casos (contingencias profesionales) por conjuntivitis epidémica (CIE-9) durante 2014-2015 en FREMAP, que generaron procesos de incapacidad temporal. Resultados: sobre el total de patologías oftalmológicas laborales con baja, representaron el 1,6%. Mujeres 75%, sector servicios y 39 años de media. Bilateral 73% de los casos. El 46% recibió asistencia previa. Tratamiento médico 86,48% (colirios …
Fuzzy risk analysis of a modern gamma-ray industrial irradiator
2011
Fuzzy fault tree analyses were used to investigate accident scenarios that involve radiological exposure to operators working in industrial gamma-ray irradiation facilities. The HEART method, a first generation human reliability analysis method, was used to evaluate the probability of adverse human error in these analyses. This technique was modified on the basis of fuzzy set theory to more directly take into account the uncertainties in the error-promoting factors on which the methodology is based. Moreover, with regard to some identified accident scenarios, fuzzy radiological exposure risk, expressed in terms of potential annual death, was evaluated. The calculated fuzzy risks for the exa…
Entre santé au travail et culture ouvrière : la question du vin ‘‘prolétaire’’ dans la France de l’entre-deux-guerres.
2019
International audience; Depuis l’apparition de la question sociale et le Tableau de l'état physique et moral des ouvriers employés dans les manufactures de coton, de laine et de soie de Villermé en 1840, le monde ouvrier a souvent été stigmatisé par sa misère, sa dangerosité, ses mœurs dissolues et/ou son ivrognerie. Si certains stéréotypes ont disparu, le penchant supposé des ouvriers pour l’alcool, et le vin en particulier, perdure. Ce qui est encore vrai aujourd’hui l’est donc évidemment pour l’entre-deux-guerres.Or, dans le cadre d’une France en pleine mutation économique induite par la seconde révolution industrielle, la législation initiée avec la loi de 1898 sur les accidents du trav…
Use of the software ‘Poser4’ in reconstruction of accident and crime scenes
2000
The reconstruction of accident and crime scenes demands the full attention of the forensic working physician. Description by words is often difficult and liable to be misunderstood. Reconstruction in the original places of events are expensive and in some cases impossible. Computer graphics and animations give the possibility to construct the original course of events. Poser4 is a software package to perform these reconstructions in an easy and vivid way. We investigated the possibilities of reconstructing an accident with this software.
Intervención fisioterápica en el anciano con limitación funcional para las actividades de la vida diaria: estudio comparativo de la efectividad de do…
2011
Introducción.La pérdida generalizada de masa y fuerza muscular asociada al envejecimiento es causa de deterioro funcional y discapacidad física, especialmente en el anciano de edad avanzada. En este contexto, la función respiratoria puede verse gravemente comprometida, cuando al descenso fisiológico de la fuerza de la musculatura respiratoria (MR), se le suman la comorbilidad y la inmovilidad. Estudios previos han demostrado que el entrenamiento específico de la MR se acompaña de la mejora significativa de la fuerza y la resistencia de esta musculatura, tanto en sujetos sanos como en enfermos. Por lo tanto, puede tratarse de una intervención efectiva para mejorar y mantener las característi…
Science and law in the time of cholera: the mystery of the biscuits in Torroja (1865)
2018
By focussing on a case of collective poisoning in 1865, four features of forensic cultures are analysed: technologies for detection, authorized voices, regulations in action and the predominant social anxieties. Local newspapers and archival documents kept in the medical academies of Barcelona and Madrid are analysed. The analysis shows the tensions between various types of proof employed in legal medicine and the ambiguities between epidemic diseases and poisoning accidents. In the first section, I review the fears caused by the cholera epidemic in 1865, which was the first explanation of the accident. The changes of popular perception are also discussed by analysing contemporary newspaper…

Lethal rupture of post-traumatic aneurysm of the vertebral artery case report.
2009
Abstract Traumatic aneurysms or dissections of the vertebral artery have been reported in patients who have suffered minor craniofacial injuries in traffic accidents. A case is reported of ruptured traumatic vertebral artery aneurysm due to closed head injury without without penetrating injuries or skull fractures. The macroscopic and histological findings relevant to the vertebral wall were compatible with post-traumatic aneurysm; the rupture of the wall was assumed to be caused by sepsis and local infiltration of inflammatory cells.
Following Hydrogen Cyanide in the Valencian Country (1907-1933): Risk, Accidents and Standards in Fumigation
2019
Abstract Pests had represented a major problem in agriculture for centuries, but the huge changes in the food chain around the late nineteenth century intensified their effects in a totally unprecedented way and many new chemical substances were introduced in the attempt to control them. In this paper I will focus on the implementation of hydrogen cyanide, a highly toxic pesticide which has not received particular consideration from researchers to date. I shall analyse the introduction of this pesticide in the Valencian Country and focus on the attention given to the safety of workers and consumers. I aim to examine the role of the poison in its different uses and analyse the impact of each…
