Manual de cuidados paliativos en geriatría
Los cuidados paliativos surgen como una nueva disciplina de la medicina para tratar una serie de enfermedades terminales con el fin de darle al paciente una mejor calidad de vida en sus últimos momentos. Se trata, sobre todo, de brindarle alivio, tranquilidad espiritual; y, finalmente, una muerte digna. A pesar de la suma importancia en su estudio y aplicación, lamentablemente aún no se enseña masivamente en las facultades de Medicina. Ante la necesidad de más y mejor información sobre esta materia, surge esta publicación que pretende ser un texto donde se plasman los conocimientos y experiencias de diversos profesionales que, a diario, tratan a personas adultas mayores que atraviesan...
El abc del Alzheimer
El proceso de envejecimiento poblacional, producto de la disminución de la tasa de natalidad y del aumento de la esperanza de vida al nacer (76 años), ha propiciado que la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) declare a la demencia como una prioridad de salud pública. El libro que tiene en sus manos le permitirá conocer la sintomatología del enfermo de Alzheimer, ser consciente de los cuidados que necesita y comprender cómo esta dolencia afecta tanto a la percepción de su entorno inmediato como a las relaciones que mantiene con las personas que lo rodean. El Dr. Carlos Sandoval, médico geriatra y docente universitario, nos ofrece respuestas en un lenguaje amigable y ameno, pero con base científica, lo cual redunda positivamente en la claridad y precisión que le permiten una práctica médica de más de veinte años.
Gender and HIV/AIDS
Gender issues are central to the causes and impact of the ongoing AIDS epidemic. The editors bring together cutting edge contemporary scholarship on gender and AIDS in one volume. They address questions related to gender and sexuality, how women and men live the epidemic differently and how such differences lead to different outcomes. The volume joins research on Africa, Asia and Latin America and illustrates how the epidemic has different gendered characteristics, causes and consequences in different regions. Collectively, the chapters demonstrate the fundamental ways that gender influences the spread of the disease, its impact and the success of prevention efforts. This scholarly, interdisciplinary volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the themes and issues of gender, AIDS and global public health and informs students, policy makers and practitioners of the complexity of the gendered nature of AIDS.
Modernizing Minds in El Salvador
In the 1960s and 1970s, El Salvador's reigning military regime instituted a series of reforms that sought to modernize the country and undermine ideological radicalism, the most ambitious of which was an education initiative. It was multifaceted, but its most controversial component was the use of televisions in classrooms. Launched in 1968 and lasting until the eve of civil war in the late 1970s, the reform resulted in students receiving instruction through programs broadcast from the capital city of San Salvador. The Salvadoran teachers' union opposed the content and the method of the reform and launched two massive strikes. The military regime answered with repressive violence, further al...

The Coup and the Palm Trees
“If they are going to kill us anyway, we might as well die in our lands.” With these words and a shrug of shoulders, a leader of the Unified Peasant Movement of the Aguán (MUCA) explains their decision to occupy more than 20,000 hectares of oil palm plantations in the Bajo Aguán region in Northern Honduras after the military coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya on June 28, 2009. The Coup under the Palm Trees interrogates the Honduran present, through an exploration of the country’s spatiotemporal trajectory of agrarian change since the mid-twentieth century. It tells the double history of how the Aguán region went from a set of “empty” lands to the centerpiece of the country...
