¿Cómo se relaciona el agua de mar con los colores del melanoma? ¿Por qué suena el disparo de un arma? Preguntas que, aunque sin aparente relación con la patología, nos ayudan a maravillarnos con esta área de la medicina. En este segundo volumen se exploran las diferentes enfermedades por sistemas más observadas en la práctica como fisioterapeutas y se presenta en un capítulo final la utilidad de la patología en fisioterapia y técnicas que ayudarán a los estudiantes a tener un óptimo desempeño como profesionales. Con un trabajo mancomunado entre profesores de patología y estudiantes de medicina y fisioterapia, cada capítulo narra una historia que guía al lector, con un lenguaje claro, usando metáforas y ejemplos de la vida diaria para ilustrar y enseñar. Este libro ayudará a los estudiantes de fisioterapia en la comprensión y visión general de la patología y a encontrar pertinencia en su práctica como fisioterapeutas. También será de utilidad, como texto introductorio, para estudiantes de ciencias de la salud que deseen explorar el área de la patología.
In seven interconnected short stories, the Guatemalan countryside is ever-present: a place of timeless peace, and the site of sudden violence. Don Henrik, a good man struck time and again by misfortune, confronts the crude realities of farming life, family obligation, and the intrusions of merciless entrepreneurs, hitmen, drug dealers, and fallen angels, all wanting their piece of the pie. Told with precision and a stark beauty, Trout, Belly Up is a beguiling, disturbing ensemble of moments set in the heart of a rural landscape in a country where brutality is never far from the surface.
Immerse yourself in the extraordinary life of Artemio Cruz, a powerful newspaper magnate and land baron, as he navigates the blurred boundaries between dreams, memories, and reality. On his deathbed, Cruz's thoughts flit among pivotal moments crafted by renowned author Carlos Fuentes, offering glimpses into a world of magical realism. Author Carlos Fuentes manipulates the ensuing kaleidoscope of images with dazzling inventiveness, layering memory upon memory, from Cruz's heroic campaigns during the Mexican Revolution, through his relentless climb from poverty to wealth, to his uneasy death. Perhaps Fuentes's masterpiece, The Death of Artemio Cruz is a haunting voyage into the soul of modern Mexico.
