Consideremos que el embarazo, sin ser precisamente una enfermedad, sí es un estado único (algunos dirán que “fisiológicamente imposible”), en que casi todos los valores funcionales usuales de la mujer cambian, para convertirla en un organismo apto para conservar, proteger y entregar a la vida extrauterina a un nuevo ser, que engendró, o que modernamente pudiera ser producto de una fertilización artificial. No podemos soslayar el problema que implica para todo el mundo la gran cantidad de mujeres que mueren durante el embarazo o puerperio, por complicaciones médicas del embarazo mismo, o de una patología previa que se agravó durante la gestación. Y es precisamente la experiencia...
El tema de la anestesia y la analgesia en ginecoobstetricia fue uno de los primeros campos en el que los cuerpos colegiados de la anestesiología de nuestro país fijaron su atención, al grado de que en el año 2006 el Volumen 1, e inaugural de las Clínicas Mexicanas de Anestesiología, trató exclusivamente acerca de esta temática; luego, en el año 2008, se publicaron el Volumen 8 sobre los eventos adversos de la anestesia y la analgesia neuroaxial porque es la más empleada en las gestantes en cualquiera de los trimestres de su embarazo. En México existen antecedentes previos a los citados que muestran que la materia es, además de muy popular, sumamente importante, en vista de que lo...
La anestesiología es una de las especialidades más completas dentro de la práctica de la medicina, ya que permite al especialista actuar con base en el conocimiento y el razonamiento de las bases anatómicas y fisiológicas, aunadas al pleno dominio de la farmacología y sus aplicaciones en la anestesiología, permitiendo tomar decisiones para una correcta selección de técnicas invasivas en el paciente con el propósito de ofrecer una serie de procedimientos perioperatorios de calidad y seguridad en cualquier escenario clínico y en cualquier instancia que se requiera. Es evidente el aporte científico de finales del siglo pasado y el inicio del actual, enfocado a la biología molecular...
The sensation of flavor reflects the complex integration of aroma, taste, texture, and chemesthetic (oral and nasal irritation cues) from a food or food component. Flavor is a major determinant of food palatability—the extent to which a food is accepted or rejected—and can profoundly influence diet selection, nutrition, and health. Despite recent progress, gaps in knowledge still remain regarding how taste and flavor cues are detected at the periphery, conveyed by the brainstem to higher cortical levels, and then interpreted as a conscious sensation. Taste signals are also projected to central feeding centers where they can regulate hunger and fullness. Individual differences in sensory ...
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
Known for much of the nineteenth century as "the ever-faithful isle," Cuba did not earn its independence from Spain until 1898, long after most American colonies had achieved emancipation from European rule. In this groundbreaking history, David Sartorius explores the relationship between political allegiance and race in nineteenth-century Cuba. Challenging assumptions that loyalty to the Spanish empire was the exclusive province of the white Cuban elite, he examines the free and enslaved people of African descent who actively supported colonialism. By claiming loyalty, many black and mulatto Cubans attained some degree of social mobility, legal freedom, and political inclusion in a world where hierarchy and inequality were the fundamental lineaments of colonial subjectivity. Sartorius explores Cuba's battlefields, plantations, and meeting halls to consider the goals and limits of loyalty. In the process, he makes a bold call for fresh perspectives on imperial ideologies of race and on the rich political history of the African diaspora.
