Reivindicación de la Independencia Intelectual en la primera época de Cuadernos del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura: I (marzo-mayo de 1953)- XXVII (noviembre-diciembre de 1957)

La “retórica de la libertad” ocupó una posición dominante durante la primera época de la revista Cuadernos, publicación en castellano del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura, donde colaboraron numerosos intelectuales republicanos exiliados. El Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura, fundado durante la guerra fría cultural por el gobierno de los EEUU, y organizado y financiado por sus servicios secretos (CIA), utilizó grandes ideales, como la lucha antitotalitaria y la independencia intelectual, con el fin de promover determinadas actitudes en la intelectualidad occidental, con el fin de “vacunarla” a la influencia del comunismo. --------- La “retòrica de la llibertat” va ocupar una posició dominant durant la primera època de la revista Cuadernos, publicació en castellà del Congrés per la Llibertat de la Cultura, on van col•laborar nombrosos intel•lectuals republicans exiliats.

Critical evaluation of outcome scales to assess outcome after lateral ankle ligament repair

Introduction: Several scores are commonly used to evaluate patients' postoperative satisfaction after lateral ankle ligament repair, including: AOFAS, FAAM, CAIT and CAIS. Comparing published studies in the literature is difficult, as the same patient can have markedly different results depending on which scoring system is used. The current study aims to address this gap in the literature by developing a system to compare these tests, to allow better analysis and comparison of published studies. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 47 patients following lateral ankle ligament repair using a modified Broström-Gould technique. All patients were operated between 2005 and 2010 by a single surgeon and followed the same post operative rehabilitation protocol. Six patients were excluded from the study because of concomitant surgery. Patients were assessed by an independent observer. We used the Pearson correlation coefficient to analyse the concordance of the scores, as well as scatter plots to assess the linear relationship between them. Results: A linear distribution between the scores was found when the results were analysed using scatter plots. We were thus able to use the Pearson correlation coefficient to evaluate the relationship between each of the different postoperative scores. The correlation was found to be above 0.5 in all cases except for the comparison between the CAIT and the FAAM for the activities of daily living (0.39). We were, therefore, able to compare the results obtained and assess the relative concordance of the scoring systems. The results showed that the more specific the scale is, the worst the score is and inversely. So the CAIT and the CAIS appeared to be more severe than the AOFAS and the FAAM measuring the activities of daily living. The sports subscale of the FAAM demonstrated intermediate results. Conclusion: This study outlines a system to compare different postoperative scores commonly used to evaluate outcome after ankle stabilization surgery. The impact of this study is that it makes comparison of published studies easier, even though they use a variety of different clinical scores, thus facilitating better outcome analysis of operative techniques.
