Improving accessibility to radiotherapy services in Cali, Colombia
Traffic congestion significantly diminished accessibility to radiotherapy services, particularly affecting vulnerable populations. For instance, urban 20-min ACO by car dropped from 91% of Cali's urban population within a 20-min journey to the service during free-flow traffic to 31% during peak traffic for the week of 6-12 July 2020. Percentages represent the population within a 20-min journey by car from their residence to a radiotherapy service…
Héctor Abad-Gómez (1921-1987)
Héctor Abad Gómez, médico salubrista colombiano, profesor universitario, periodista y defensor de los derechos humanos, fue asesinado en Medellín en 1987. Fue pionero de la salud pública en sus diversos campos, inquieto e inconforme, comprometido desde su vida estudiantil en la lucha por el agua potable y por los alimentos inocuos. Se especializó en la Universidad de Minnesota (EE.UU.) y a su regreso al país lideró el establecimiento del servicio…
Homicide Epidemic in Cali, Colombia
Objectives. To examine homicide rates in Cali, Colombia, during the 1993–2018 period, using information derived from an interagency surveillance system. Methods. We used homicide data from Cali’s Epidemiological Surveillance System to examine homicide trends by victim’s age and sex, time, and type of method used. We estimated trend changes and the annual percentage changes using joinpoint regression analyses. Results. Homicide rates per 100 000 i…
La epidemiología de los homicidios en Cali, 1993-1998
A map shows the homicide distribution by neighborhood, and the benefits of a population-based surveillance model are discussed, particularly their usefulness for identifying risk factors and the measures that can be applied to prevent and control this form of violence
Asalto al desarrollo
En Latinoamérica, el crimen y la violencia acaparan los titulares de los periódicos, las palabras de los políticos y las angustias de los ciudadanos. En esta región, 140.000 personas son asesinadas cada año y una de cada tres familias es víctima de una agresión criminal en el mismo lapso. Este libro constituye un primer esfuerzo por estudiar el crimen y la violencia en Latinoamérica desde una perspectiva comparada, que reúne no sólo las experienc…
Vigilancia epidemiológica para la prevención y el control de la violencia en las ciudades
Violence prevention policies should be based on information, follow-up, research, and analysis, all of which increase the chances of success and make it easier to evaluate interventions. This implies, in turn, that there is a need to create surveillance, research, and prevention models for violence within the sphere of public health and epidemiology, a task that constitutes an integral part of the Pan American Health Organization's Regional Plan …
La ciudad en el siglo XXI
El Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo organizó en marzo de 1997 un "Simposio de ciudades y Foro de buenas prácticas en gestión urbana" . En él se debatieron las nuevas ideas sobre el papel de los centros urbanos en el futuro de la región, los problemas que enfrentarán al asumir este papel y las soluciones que se vislumbran al final del siglo. Este evento se realizó conjuntamente con la Asamblea Anual de Gobernadores del Banco en Barcelona. La vis…
Cost-effectiveness of ambulatory surgery in Cali, Colombia
To compare the cost and effectiveness of a system of simplified ambulatory surgery against traditional in-patient surgery, we studied a surgical procedure commonly performed in both settings - non-recurrent elective inguinal herniorrhaphy. We compared the 17 operations performed in an ‘intermediate health unit’ (IHU) or outpatient hospital in Cali, against the 15 performed in a traditional secondary hospital from mid-January through mid-April, 19…
Surgeons and operating rooms
A classification of surgical procedures, based on degree of complexity and the need for facilities and personnel, was applied to all 50,782 surgical interventions performed in the Valle del Cauca, Colombia during 1974. Three-fourths of all operations were of low levels of complexity, and most could be performed on an ambulatory basis with immediate discharge after recovery from anesthesia. Mean numbers of operations per year for surgical speciali…
Type and Time of Insemination within the Menstrual Cycle and the Human Sex Ratio at Birth
Data that strongly suggest that the timing of insemination affects the human sex ratio at birth are presented. Two studies conducted by the author, including a total of 1,318 pregnancies, in which timing of insemination was related to the shift in basal body temperature are discussed, and previous literature is reviewed. The differential effect of type of insemination-natural versus artificial-is noted. The further question why timing and type of…
