Spain and the international scientific conferences on polio, 1940s-1960s
2010
The development of international health from a historical point of view has undergone major advances in recent times and constitutes a substantial part of the current agenda for historians of medicine. Within this framework, and focussing on a specific case study (international responses to poliomyelitis outbreaks in the 20th century), we explore the main actions and achievements of agencies such as the WHO and other private and international scientific organizations. Furthermore, this paper seeks to identify the Spanish presence and absence in these activities, their causes and consequences.
Protons for Jehovah’s Witnesses? How press coverage of Ashya King’s case brought proton beam therapy to the public arena
2018
The case of Ashya King, the child brain tumour patient whose parents took from a British hospital so he could be treated with Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) abroad, contributed to popularize that technology among a general audience. Through the content analysis of British and Spanish press coverage (N=329), our research shows that proton therapy enjoyed scarce coverage in the analysed media before Ashya King’s case. His story, magnified due to the fact that his parents were Jehovah’s witnesses was a cause both for public concern and media sensationalism. We show that the case brought PBT into the public sphere and, consequently, contributed to create a demand for facilities that offered this the…
Découvrir l'imposteur : expertises dans la prison de Valence au milieu du xve siècle
2020
Les médecins étaient souvent appelés à intervenir en tant qu’experts dans les cours de justice de la ville de Valence à la fin du Moyen Âge. Ils étaient sollicités pour des raisons diverses et on attendait d’eux qu’ils rendent des jugements ou des pronostics. Un des cadres dans lesquels ils apparaissaient est la prison. La torture faisait partie du développement des procédures judiciaires en tant qu’élément destiné à prouver les faits, pour empêcher que le juge ait le moindre doute. Les doutes suscités par de possibles simulations requéraient les compétences de ces experts, à qui revenait la décision d’infliger ou non la torture au prisonnier. Cet article analyse par le menu un cas particul…

2015
Aquest treball analitza les missions d'experts d'organismes sanitaris internacionals a Espanya destinades a informar sobre la situació, les activitats realitzades i les intervencions necessàries en la lluita contra la discapacitat física dels xiquets. El Pla Espanya-23 va ser l'instrument utilitzat per l'OMS i altres agències per a posar en marxa el procés de canvi en un país en transformació durant la llarga etapa de vigència de la dictadura franquista. El treball utilitza com a fonts informes inèdits d'experts de l'OMS, que van ser resultat de visites realitzades al país entre 1950 i 1975. L'abordatge metodològic va consistir en una anàlisi del discurs que es troba en les fonts i la seua …
La investigación en enfermería y la revisión por expertos

Presentamos algunas sugerencias sobre cómo desempeñar esta función, a la vista de datos recogidos de revistas españolas, y así contribuir a la mejora de las publicaciones en enfermería. Se presenta asimismo una encuesta realizada por contacto personal con revistas relevantes con unas recomendaciones puntuales para los profesionales de enfermería. Through peer review a journal tries to guarantee the quality of published articles. This paper intends to analyze the difficult assessment t…
Towards a framework for assessment and management of cumulative human impacts on marine food webs
2015
Effective ecosystem-based management requires understanding ecosystem responses to multiple human threats, rather than focusing on single threats. To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic threats holistically, it is necessary to know how threats affect different components within ecosystems and ultimately alter ecosystem functioning. We used a case study of a Mediterranean seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) food web and expert knowledge elicitation in an application of the initial steps of a framework for assessment of cumulative human impacts on food webs. We produced a conceptual seagrass food web model, determined the main trophic relationships, identified the main threats to the fo…
