An academic book on history as a bestseller– an analysis of selected examples

Gibbon, Jr., and was the first resident who worked on Gibbon\u27s heart-lung machine.

Historical roots of hospital centrism in Catalonia (1917-1980)

The aim of this article is to analyse the roots of the Catalonia health reform, whose first projects on reform have been documented since 1917. This historical process set-up, in Catalonia, a hospital-centric model involving three sets of regenerating and mutually reinforcing institutions: financial resources were being disproportionally distributed to hospitals, high-quality medical professionals were largely concentrated in hospitals and large outpatient departments were incorporated in hospitals, which functioned as a first point of care for many patients. Based on these premises, the intention is to contribute to the understanding of the initiatives that, during much of the 20th century, took place in Catalonia with the aim of bringing access to hospital services to the population. These same organising principles also had decisive influence on hospital planning in the rest of Spain. As such, we develop an historical approach to public policies that have been shaping the current imbalance between hospitals and primary care providers in Catalonia by combining two methodologies. On the one hand, an overview of the existing literature on this topic. On the other, an accumulation of case studies –which does not claim to be exhaustive– the result of this very research and that of other specialists in the object of study.As Catalonia still has a hospital-centric health system seeded throughout the 20th century, these findings can inform the framing of contemporary options for primary care strengthening. Without addressing these deep regenerating causes using a whole-system approach, Catalonia is unlikely to achieve a primary care orientation for health system development

Mother's difficulties in breastfeeding premature babies in the neonatal ICU

La finalidad del estudio fue describir la asistencia y las dificultades maternas en el proceso de amamantamiento de prematuros. Para tal, recorrimos al abordaje cualitativo, realizada a través de la entrevista estructurada, grabada con cinco madres de ninõs prematuros con peso inferior a 2000 granos acompanãdos en la UTIN en Cuiabá-MT, Brasil. Como resultados verificamos cinco subtemas: mantener la producción de leche materna mediante ordeña, enfrentarse con desconforto durante la estadía en la UTIN, vivir con procedimientos médicos de alimentación para prematuros, enfrentarse con la fragilidad del prematuro y la UTIN y necesitar apoyo logístico para el amamantamiento. Fue observada una falta de intervenciones sistemáticas para estimular el amamantamiento durante la estadía de las madres y sus niños en el hospital. Es necesario capacitar los profesionales hospitalarios y implantar protocolos de intervención, con vistas a las experiencias y necesidades maternas y la articulación entre las acciones intrahospitalarias y interinstitucionales.This study aimed to describe the care and difficulties mothers face when breastfeeding their premature babies at a neonatal intensive care unit (ICU). Therefore, a qualitative approach was adopted. Data were obtained through structured interviews, which were recorded with five mothers of premature babies under 2,000g who were assisted at the neonatal ICU in Cuiabá-MT, Brazil. The results revealed five subthemes: maintaining milk production by milking, facing discomfort during the stay at the neonatal ICU, living with medical food procedures for premature babies, facing the fragility of the premature baby and the neonatal ICU environment and needing logistic support for breastfeeding. A lack of systematic interventions was observed to stimulate breastfeeding while mothers and their premature babies are in hospital. Hospital professionals need to be trained and intervention protocols have to be implanted, in view of the maternal experiences and needs and the articulation between intrahospital and interinstitutional actions.O estudo objetivou descrever a assistência e as dificuldades maternas no processo do aleitamento materno de prematuros assistidos em uma unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal (UTIN). Para tal, recorreu-se à abordagem qualitativa, obtendo-se os dados através da entrevista estruturada, gravada com cinco mães de bebês prematuros, com peso inferior a 2000g, assistidos no hospital universitário de Cuiabá-MT. Como resultados encontrou-se cinco subtemas: mantendo a produção láctea materna através da ordenha, enfrentando desconforto durante permanência na UTIN, convivendo com as condutas médicas alimentares para prematuros, enfrentando a fragilidade do prematuro e o ambiente da UTIN e precisando de apoio logístico para amamentar. Constatou-se a escassez de intervenções sistematizadas dirigidas ao incentivo do aleitamento materno, durante a hospitalização materna e do prematuro, sendo necessária a capacitação dos profissionais do hospital e a implantação de protocolo de intervenção, contemplando as necessidades e vivências maternas e a articulação das ações intra-hospitalares e interinstitucionais
