La Salud 2.0 y la atención de la salud en la era digital
Metformin, a medicine prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes, also has cardiovascular benefits and is used off-label to treat other conditions. Interest is growing in its potential to help lower risks for other serious health problems and even slow aspects of aging, but which of these benefits, if any, apply t
Robert Harington discusses the value of preprints, the importance of peer review, research integrity and openness.

Vector-borne diseases are transmitted by haematophagous arthropods (for example, mosquitoes, ticks and sandflies) to humans and wild and domestic animals, with the largest burden on global public health disproportionately affecting people in tropical and subtropical areas. Because vectors are ectothermic, climate and weather alterations (for example, temperature, rainfall and humidity) can affect their reproduction, survival, geographic distribution and, consequently, ability to transmit pathogens. However, the effects of climate change on vector-borne diseases can be multifaceted and complex, sometimes with ambiguous consequences. In this Review, we discuss the potential effects of climate change, weather and other anthropogenic factors, including land use, human mobility and behaviour, as possible contributors to the redistribution of vectors and spread of vector-borne diseases worldwide. In this Review, de Souza and Weaver discuss the potential effects on vector-borne diseases of climate change, weather and other anthropogenic factors, including land use, human mobility and behaviour, as possible contributors to the redistribution of vectors and spread of vector-borne diseases worldwide.

Ponte las zapatillas de deporte, tu cerebro lo agradecerá. Somos capaces de crear nuevas neuronas, incluso de adultos. Este hallazgo es relativamente nuevo, porque se pensaba que se nacía con un determinado “banco de neuronas” que iba menguando con el paso del tiempo, pero que no era posible renovar ni ampliar. Sin embargo, los últimos […]
Erling Norrby takes us through the history of the discovery of DNA structure from the 1940s to 1962, when the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Watson, Crick, and Wilkins.
La Aneca 'reabre' la ciencia y propone que también se puedan acreditar sexenios de investigación con méritos como patentes, informes, dictámenes, trabajos técnicos o artísticos, exposiciones, catalogaciones o conjuntos de datos, excavaciones arqueológicas o metodologías
Despite the health crisis that Venezuela has gone through, the onchocerciasis elimination program in Venezuela has continued to work reasonably well. One of its leading scientists explains why

In a randomized trial of standard-risk adults, metformin decreased severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 viral loads by an average of 0.56 log10
Since 1974 substantial gains in childhood survival have occurred in every global region. We estimate that EPI has provided the single greatest contribution to improved infant survival over the past 50 years. In the context of strengthening primary health care, our results show that equitable universal access to immunisation remains crucial to sustain health gains and continue to save future lives from preventable infectious mortality.

En el Atlas de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 2023 se presentan narraciones interactivas y visualizaciones de datos relacionadas con los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Asimismo, se describen las tendencias correspondientes a algunas metas de cada objetivo y se incorpora información conceptual sobre cómo se miden algunos de los ODS.
As we progress deeper into the digital age, the robust development and application of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology, specifically generative language models like ChatGPT (OpenAI), have potential implications in all sectors including medicine. This viewpoint article aims to present the authors’ perspective on the integration of AI models such as ChatGPT in clinical medicine and medical education. The unprecedented capacity of ChatGPT to generate human-like responses, refined through Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback, could significantly reshape the pedagogical methodologies within medical education. Through a comprehensive review and the authors’ personal experiences, this viewpoint article elucidates the pros, cons, and ethical considerations of using ChatGPT within clinical medicine and notably, its implications for medical education. This exploration is crucial in a transformative era where AI could potentially augment human capability in the process of knowledge creation and dissemination, potentially revolutionizing medical education and clinical practice. The importance of maintaining academic integrity and professional standards is highlighted. The relevance of establishing clear guidelines for the responsible and ethical use of AI technologies in clinical medicine and medical education is also emphasized.
A shift in the traditional technocentric view of medical device design to a human-centered one is needed to bridge existing translational gaps and improve health equity. To ensure the successful and equitable adoption of health technology innovations
