En 2013, a los 93 años, se enterraba en Washington a Edmund D. Pellegrino, y quizá con él toda una era de la medicina. Desaparecía uno de los mas grandes maestros de la ética médica; y sin duda el profesor de medicina mas inquieto frente al deterioro moral progresivo de la práctica médica de su país, y por extensión de otras partes del mundo. En horas en las que se reclama la vuelta a un humanismo profesional, la competencia y la calidad del acto médico no son suficientes, la sociedad exige...

Es innegable que la...

Carol Gray combines stick-figures with «conversation symbols» to illustrate what people say and think during conversations. Showing what people are thinking reinforces that others have independent thoughts—a concept that spectrum children don't intuitively understand. Children can also recognize that, although people say one thing, they may think something quite different—another concept foreign to «concrete-thinking» children. Children can draw their own «comic strips» to show what they...

More than ten million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition globally each year. In Uganda, longstanding efforts to understand, treat, and then prevent the condition initially served to medicalize it, in the eyes of both biomedical personnel and Ugandans who brought their children to the hospital for treatment and care. Medicalization meant malnutrition came to be seen as a disease—as a medical emergency—not a preventable condition, further compromising nutritional health in Uganda. ...
