- Medicine considered as a science as well as an organization for health-care services has undergone structural changes, also because of the new role of the "expert-patient". Hence, the sociological concepts might give important contributions, not only by new conceptual frames, but also thanks to an analitical stimulus for the construction of new procedures in medicine.Keywords: disease, illness, sickness, sociology of health, epistemology, methodology.Parole chiave: disease, illness, sickness, sociologia della salute, epistemologia, metodologia.

In Uruguay, around 60 cases of snakebite accidents occur every year that need to be treated with specific antivenom. They are caused by two snakes of Bothrops genus: Bothrops alternatus and Bothrops pubescens. Snakebite accidents are mandatory notification events, allowing the acquisition of an accurate registry and a fluent communication with the health care services. The aim of this study is to analyze and report the doses administered to achieve the neutralization of the venom and the adverse reactions caused by snake antivenoms used in Uruguay in 2018, when a change was made in the type of antivenom available. In this year, Uruguay started to use the BIOL® antivenom (lyophilized) and this use coexists with traditional antivenom liquid forms (Vital Brazil and Malbran). The number of patients treated with heterologous BIOL® antivenom were 28 and the ones treated with heterologous solutions Malbran and Vital Brazil antivenoms were 21. The initial dose of BIOL antivenom was 8 vials instead of 4 vials regularly used with the others antivenoms and it achieved the neutralization of most cases (27/28 cases). Early adverse reactions were detected in 4 patients (3 in children) treated with BIOL antivenom and there were no adverse reactions in those treated with Malbran or Vital Brazil antivenoms. Lyophilized antivenom BIOL is being used widely in Uruguay without major complications.

Abstract Discrimination against migrants in healthcare settings and also the negative impact of this discrimination on their health are well documented. These experiences of discrimination may present a barrier to accessing or seeking appropriate health care. For this reason, the Mig-HealthCare project aimed to study the perceived feeling of discrimination against migrants and explore the perception of community members regarding health-related issues about migrants. In order to answer both questions, based on a mix-methods design, the Mig-Healthcare consortium collected data from 1,286 questionnaires completed by migrants/refugees in 10 EU countries and carried out 6 focus groups and 5 individual interviews in 7 countries. Quantitative results show increased levels of mental health-related symptoms among migrants/refugees as well as dental health problems. The majority of respondents in all countries of the interview, needed more information about their rights and the way to use the health care services, while in Greece migrants showed the biggest need for more information about several health topics. Moreover, qualitative results pointed out the presence of deeply rooted misconceptions towards migrants and refugees that span across different thematic areas: migrants and refugees represent a vector for the transmission of new or eradicated diseases and a burden for the already overstretched welfare system since they often demand preferential pathways to health or social services at the expenses of the local population. Implications for the quality of healthcare services available for migrants/refugees are discussed as well as health issues which are of particular importance to this population. Feelings of discrimination and the extent to which they influence the quality of care received are analysed in combination with health being a basic human right to which need to all people have equal rights.

Patient Relationships

There is a growing awareness of the role played by discrimination in the provision of health care services to immigrants and refugees across Canada. Very little research, however, has explored how perceived discrimination influences patient relationships with health care providers and the health care system in Ontario. This qualitative study documents perceptions of discrimination from a service user perspective in five small and medium-sized Ontario cities. Results of 26 interviews with immigrants and refugees highlight the complex nature and impacts of discrimination in shaping newcomer experiences as a basis for developing effective public policy in health care and social services.
