La mitigación lingüística en las "Cartas familiares" de José de Viera y Clavijo

[ES]Esta tesis doctoral se centra en el estudio de Las cartas familiares de José de Viera y Clavijo para analizar los mecanismos atenuadores de la proposición. La hipótesis de partida es que, a pesar de que el género epistolar en el siglo XVIII presenta características narrativas más cercanas a la prosa literaria, la propia trayectoria de Viera y Clavijo como divulgador científico se manifiesta en el uso de estrategias discursivas de mitigación proposicional que son más características del discurso de la ciencia.

Is detection of bacterial DNA in ascitic fluid of clinical relevance?

In patients with cirrhosis, bacterial DNA has been found in ascites reflecting bacterial translocation. However, the clinical relevance of this finding is ill-defined especially compared with the standard diagnostics for detection of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). Furthermore, other DNA tests have not been sufficiently evaluated.

Systems medicine and integrated care to combat chronic noncommunicable diseases

We propose an innovative, integrated, cost-effective health system to combat major non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular, chronic respiratory, metabolic, rheumatologic and neurologic disorders and cancers, which together are the predominant health problem of the 21st century. This proposed holistic strategy involves comprehensive patient-centered integrated care and multi-scale, multi-modal and multi-level systems approaches to tackle NCDs as a common group of diseases. Rather than studying each disease individually, it will take into account their intertwined gene-environment, socio-economic interactions and co-morbidities that lead to individual-specific complex phenotypes. It will implement a road map for predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory (P4) medicine based on a robust and extensive knowledge management infrastructure that contains individual patient information. It will be supported by strategic partnerships involving all stakeholders, including general practitioners associated with patient-centered care. This systems medicine strategy, which will take a holistic approach to disease, is designed to allow the results to be used globally, taking into account the needs and specificities of local economies and health systems.

Reticulate eruptions: Part 2. Historical perspectives, morphology, terminology and classification

Reticulate eruptions of vascular origin may represent an underlying arterial, venous, microvascular or combined pathology. In the presence of arterial pathology, individual rings are centred around ascending arterial vessels that supply the corresponding area of skin within an arterial hexagon that clinically presents with a blanched centre. Confluence of multiple arterial hexagons generates a stellate (star-like) pattern. In the presence of a primary venous pathology, individual rings correspond to the underlying reticular veins forming multiple venous rings. Focal involvement of a limited number of vessels presents with a branched (racemosa) configuration while a generalized involvement forms a reticulate (net-like) pattern. 'Livedo' refers to the colour and not the pattern of the eruption. Primary livedo reticularis (Syn. cutis marmorata) is a physiological response to cold and presents with a diffuse blanchable reticulate eruption due to vasospasm of the feeding arteries and sluggish flow and hyperviscosity in the draining veins. Livedo reticularis may be secondary to underlying conditions associated with hyperviscosity of blood. Livedo racemosa is an irregular, branched eruption that is only partially-blanchable or non-blanchable and always signifies a pathological process. Retiform purpura may be primarily inflammatory with secondary haemorrhage or thrombohaemorrhagic, as seen in disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.

Reticulate eruptions. Part 1: Vascular networks and physiology

Reticulate pattern is one of the most important dermatological signs of a pathological process involving the superficial vascular networks. Vascular malformations, such as cutis marmorata congenita telangiectasia and benign forms of livedo reticularis, and sinister conditions, such as meningococcal meningitis or Sneddon's syndrome, can all present with a reticulate pattern. The clinical presentation and morphology is determined by the nature and extent of the underlying pathology and the involvement of a particular vascular network. This review has been divided into four instalments. In the present paper, we discuss the anatomy and physiology of the complex network of vascular structures that support the function of the skin and subcutis.

European guidelines for sclerotherapy in chronic venous disorders.

AIM: Sclerotherapy is the targeted chemical ablation of varicose veins by intravenous injection of a liquid or foamed sclerosing drug. The treated veins may be intradermal, subcutaneous, and/or transfascial as well as superficial and deep in venous malformations. The aim of this guideline is to give evidence-based recommendations for liquid and foam sclerotherapy. METHODS: This guideline was drafted on behalf of 23 European Phlebological Societies during a Guideline Conference on 7-10 May 2012 in Mainz. The conference was organized by the German Society of Phlebology. These guidelines review the present state of knowledge as reflected in published medical literature. The regulatory situation of sclerosant drugs differs from country to country but this has not been considered in this document. The recommendations of this guideline are graded according to the American College of Chest Physicians Task Force recommendations on Grading Strength of Recommendations and Quality of Evidence in Clinical Guidelines. RESULTS: This guideline focuses on the two sclerosing drugs which are licensed in the majority of the European countries, polidocanol and sodium tetradecyl sulphate. Other sclerosants are not discussed in detail. The guideline gives recommendations concerning indications, contraindications, side-effects, concentrations, volumes, technique and efficacy of liquid and foam sclerotherapy of varicose veins and venous malformations.
