Resumen: Entre los supervivientes en España del modelo de prensa de distribución gratuita figura la publi­cación especializada Diario Médico, que lleva 25 años divulgando temas médico-sanitarios entre profesionales del Sistema Nacional de Salud. Se acomete un estudio exploratorio-descriptivo para indagar en sus orígenes y situación actual, prestando atención a su labor en papel, a través del pro­ducto impreso, y en Red, a través de diariomedico.com. Se seleccionan como técnicas la entrevista con su subdirector y el análisis de sus productos. El formato mixto define a Diario Médico: mantiene su compromiso por ofrecer información en papel, a pesar de haber reducido la periodicidad de diaria a semanal; reconduce a sus lectores en papel a Orbyt, quiosco de prensa digital del grupo promotor, Unidad Editorial, donde ofrece diariamente unas siete páginas en pdf con información para suscriptores; y está en la Red, con una edición que se abre a la participación del usuario. El tono divulgativo de sus contenidos y su utilidad para la sociedad, unido al creciente interés del público no especializado por la medicina y salud llevan a este medio, a nuestro parecer, a tener un doble público objetivo: la sociedad en general y los profesionales del Sistema en particular.Palabras clave: Medicina; Salud; Medios; Diario; Especialización.Abstract: One of the survivors in Spain of the free distribution press is the specialized publication Diario Médi­co, which has been disseminating health issues among professionals of the National Health System for 25 years. We did an exploratory-descriptive study about its origins and current situation, paying attention to its labour in paper, through the printed product, and in Red, through diariomedico.com. The techniques are the interview with its deputy director and the analysis of its products. The mixed format defines Diario Médico: it maintains its commitment to offer information on paper, despite ha­ving reduced the periodicity from daily to weekly; leads its paper readers to Orbyt, the digital press kiosk of the promoter group, Unidad Editorial, where it offers seven pages a day in pdf format with information for subscribers, and on the Web, with an edition that opens to the participation of the user. The informative tone of its contents and its usefulness for society, together with the growing interest of the non-specialized public in medicine and health, lead to Diario Médico, in our opinion, to have a double objective public: society in general and professionals of the System in particular.Keywords: Medicine; Health; Media; Press; Specialization.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report the insertion of the nursing students of the Franciscan University Center in the community through the project Adopting a Family, contributing to critical thinking within the Nursing academic production and its articulation to collective health. Results: In the professors’ evaluation, the activity represented an effective articulation and insertion of the university in the community; for the students, it allowed for spaces of construction, deconstruction and negotiation with the unknown and the uncertain; for the families, it enabled the feeling of being remembered and valued as human beings and citizens. Through the experiences had, the transformation of health practices goes through the emergence and valuation of new knowledge. Final considerations: The insertion of the university in the community is constituted by an entrepreneurial strategy that is proponent of changes, due to its more effective and resolute outreach of health issues proposed by the national health system.

The study of human rights (HR) is vital in order to enhance the development of human beings, but this field of study still needs to be better depicted and understood because violations of its core principles still frequently occur worldwide. In this study, our goal was to perform a bibliometric performance and network analysis (BPNA) to investigate the strategic themes, thematic evolution structure, and trends of HR found in the Web of Science (WoS) database from 1990 to June 2020. To do this, we included 25,542 articles in the SciMAT software for bibliometric analysis. The strategic diagram produced shows 23 themes, 12 of which are motor themes, the most important of which are discussed in this article. The thematic evolution structure presented the 21 most relevant themes of the 2011–2020 period. Our findings show that HR research is directly related to health issues, such as mental health, HIV, and reproductive health. We believe that the presented results and HR panorama presented have the potential to be used as a basis on which researchers in future works may enhance their decision making related to this field of study.

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) are potentially severe and complex disease in its management among the various allergic eye diseases. In this regard, studies clarified the etiopathogenetic mechanisms. The workup should be multidisciplinary. The treatment includes topical and systemic medications with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant activity. However, a definition of nationally- and internationally-shared diagnostic protocols would also be needed and validated access to therapeutic options of proven safety and efficacy to avoid the use of galenic preparations, up to now still essential in the management of moderate-severe VKC. Finally, recognizing VKC and AKC, among rare diseases, at a national and international level would be an essential step to allow the management of VKC with adequate timings and settings within the National Health System.

Background:Musculoskeletal Diseases (MSKD) represent one of the main health problems burdens worldwide. They cause a significant functional, quality of life and socioeconomic impact. Knee and lumbar osteoarthritis are the most prevalent1. MSKD can be assessed by different kind of specialists: Orthopedic and Traumatology Surgery (OTS), Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, each of them focused at one of the distinct aspects of the same disease. It is the General Practitioner (GP) consultations that usually act as a gateway to specialized care. However, this derivation is carried out in non-standardized manners that leads to an evaluation from a sometimes wrong selected specialist or sometimes overlap management between several of them2. The result is an endless waiting list in an overburden health system that cannot solve people’s health issues. In 2018, only in our area, 32.894 patients with MSKD were referred from GP to the different medical consultations: OTS (65%), Rehabilitation (25%) and Rheumatology (10%). Furthermore, there are specialized consultations called“Primary Trauma”to which GP can refer which are managed indistinctly by any of the 3 specialists mentioned before.Objectives:The following study aims to assess by collecting data in one of these consultations, how these pathologies are referred to the different specialist and the role that the rheumatologist plays in its management.Methods:From January to March 2019, 300 consecutive patients´ medical records from the HUVM area that were sent to “Primary Trauma” consultations and attended by a rheumatologist have been reviewed. The reason for consultation, tests and referrals requested, diagnoses reached and procedures and other therapeutic actions performed were collected. Descriptive statistics with percentages and mean are showed.Results:The average age of the patients was 51 years [7-88], 57% (170) women and 43% (130) men. The most frequent reasons for referral were knee pain (26), foot pathology (23%), low back pain (12%) and carpal tunnel syndrome (6%). 68% (204 patients) attended the consultation with some test already performed request in primary care, mostly radiographs (61%) and MRI scan (34%). After the first assessment during consultation, only 31% required new studies. The diagnoses that were most frequently established are showed in table 1: degenerative knee pathology (29%) was the most prevalent. 60% of the patients assessed were given exercise tables and/or postural recommendations. 14% received an infiltration on the same day of the visit. Only 78 patients (26%) needed to be reviewed later in those consultations. Of the remaining 222 (74%), 81 (27%) were referred to other specialists. 56 of them (19%) went to OTS to a surgical evaluation, most frequently of the knee (32%), hand (27%) and foot (23%). 141 (47%) were discharged and referred to GP´s for follow ups.Table 1.Diagnoses.N%Degenerative knee pathology6729Plantar support alterations3415Lumbar osteoarthritis198Deformities of the feet177Mechanical metatarsalgia125Plantar fasciitis94Carpal tunnel syndrome94Conclusion:The prevalence of MSKD found in medical consultation coincides with the national registers. Most patients did not need to be referred to surgical units. The role of the Rheumatologist is to take a comprehensive care for the patient, focusing on giving an effective evaluation and quick solution to his MSKD. In short, if the most prevalent MSKD are not subsidiary of surgical treatment (at least initially), the specialist whom patients with MSKD should be referred would be the rheumatologist.References:[1]EPISER2016: Estudio de la prevalencia de las enfermedades reumáticas en población adulta en España.

This article presents a profile of intimate partner homicides (IPH) committed within London incorporating a gendered comparison of the perpetrators’ relationships. Data was sourced from the original police files for offenses committed in the capital between 1998 and 2009 ( N = 207; 173 male and 34 female perpetrators). In common with other international descriptive studies, the results indicate comparative differences between partners according to perpetrator gender in terms of age profiles, employment status, experience of mental health issues, intoxication at time of killing, and possession of criminal convictions. Gender-based IPH descriptive studies have tended to focus on a collation of either victim or perpetrator or relationship characteristics, often in isolation from one another. Assessments of how parties interact within fatal relationships are invariably absent, and yet, it is the relationship that forms the backdrop against which the fatal acts are perpetrated. This study, therefore, not only provides an insight into the profile of IPH committed within London where none had previously existed but also demonstrates the advantages of incorporating relationship concordance measures. The inclusion of such measures when researching IPH assists homicide investigators in understanding the dynamics taking place within the cohort of fatal relationships they police. It also provides researchers a useful platform to enhance understanding of this crucial aspect, for it is the relationship itself which is what defines IPH and distinguishes as a unique subset of homicide.

- This article recounts the doubts and fears of an experienced analyst who is now an apprentice acrobat. He is forced to keep himself tiredly balanced between psychological and physical limits imposed by age, restrictions introduced by the National Health System and categories of patients who have precedence over others. He cannot receive all of the patients who ask for him and even those who he does receive will have to be discharged in the short term. Explaining to them, with intellectual honesty, that the community service has rules that limit his wishes as well. What can this be if not acrobatics? In the end it means combining the contradictory but perhaps also the most real aspects of life itself. [KEY WORDS: desires, personal and environmental limits, truth of the therapist]
