Importance: Interest in artificial intelligence (AI) has reached an all-time high, and health care leaders across the ecosystem are faced with questions about where, when, and how to deploy AI and how to understand its risks, problems, and possibilities. Observations: While AI as a concept has existed since the 1950s, all AI is not the same. Capabilities and risks of various kinds of AI differ markedly, and on examination 3 epochs of AI emerge. AI 1.0 includes symbolic AI, which attempts to encode human knowledge into computational rules, as well as probabilistic models. The era of AI 2.0 began with deep learning, in which models learn from examples labeled with ground truth. This era brought about many advances both in people's daily lives and in health care. Deep learning models are task-specific, meaning they do one thing at a time, and they primarily focus on classification and prediction. AI 3.0 is the era of foundation models and generative AI. Models in AI 3.0 have fundamentally new (and potentially transformative) capabilities, as well as new kinds of risks, such as hallucinations. These models can do many different kinds of tasks without being retrained on a new dataset. For example, a simple text instruction will change the model's behavior. Prompts such as "Write this note for a specialist consultant" and "Write this note for the patient's mother" will produce markedly different content. Conclusions and Relevance: Foundation models and generative AI represent a major revolution in AI's capabilities, ffering tremendous potential to improve care. Health care leaders are making decisions about AI today. While any heuristic omits details and loses nuance, the framework of AI 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 may be helpful to decision-makers because each epoch has fundamentally different capabilities and risks.

Lo popular ha sido objeto de interés también en el pasado, pero no fue hasta el siglo XIX cuando a los intelectuales, superando la racionalidad ilustrada, les suscitó la necesidad de dotar de valor a aquello que emana del pueblo. Fue en este siglo cuando folcloristas, escritores, artistas, etc., generaron un vasto conocimiento sobre la vida local y lo enfrentaron al intelectualismo de la Ilustración. Exaltaron los sentimientos, las maneras populares de expresarlos, las formas de manifestarse y de vivir su cotidianeidad. En España, fueron los viajeros románticos europeos y americanos del Grand Tour, los primeros en interesarse por la descripción de las costumbres populares (AU)

El análisis histórico de las prácticas de cuidado en Colombia registra antecedentes de gran relevancia, que son importantes considerar en el momento de entrelazar los hilos del pasado para comprender el presente. Para el caso colombiano, las comunidades religiosas fueron algunos de los grupos precursores del cuidado de la salud, que, de forma detallada, empezaron a otorgarle la rigurosidad, la disciplina, el conocimiento y el valor social que este demandaba [Fragmento de texto] (AU)

Resumo A história do Programa Nacional de Serviços Básicos de Saúde (Prev-saúde) se inicia em 1979, na articulação entre os Ministérios da Saúde, da Previdência e Assistência Social, do Interior e da Economia e a Organização Pan-americana da Saúde. Teve como objetivo reorganizar os serviços básicos de saúde em suas conexões com os demais níveis assistenciais. Internacionalmente, inscrevia-se no movimento deflagrado pela Conferência de Alma-Ata, de setembro de 1978. Em termos nacionais, representava tanto um acúmulo de conhecimento sobre organização dos serviços quanto um movimento que se adequava, em parte, à agenda da reforma sanitária brasileira. O Prev-saúde representou um conjunto de proposições para a reorganização da saúde que, naquele contexto, era consenso técnico entre burocracias e lideranças da reforma da saúde.
Abstract The history of the National Basic Health Services Program (Prev-saúde) begins in 1979 with a joint effort involving the Ministries of Health, Social Security and Assistance, Interior, and Economy, as well as the Pan-American Health Organization. The objective was to reorganize basic health services in their connections with other levels of care. Internationally, it was part of the movement sparked by the International Conference on Primary Health Care in Alma-Ata in September 1978. Domestically, the program represented an accumulation of knowledge about the organization of services as well as a movement that was partially adapted to Brazilian health reform agenda. Prev-saúde was a set of health proposals that represented a technical consensus between bureaucracies and leaders of health reform.

Los hospitales municipales y provinciales representaron un papel clave en la confi-guración histórica del sistema hospitalario en España hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Su papel estratégico en la beneficencia del siglo XIX para la cobertura de los pobres se modificó con el avance y la configuración del hospital moderno ubicado en nuevos edificios y técnicas de gestión, con una estructura interna jerarquizada y avances en ámbito diagnóstico-terapéutico para la cobertura de cada vez más porcentaje de población. Partiendo de esta idea, este trabajo se centra en el estudio histórico de las infraestructuras hospitalarias públicas vinculadas a los municipios y diputaciones en España con dos objetivos. De un lado, trata de analizar cómo se configuraron, qué servicios prestaron y cómo afrontaron su financiación hasta la dictadura de Franco. De otro, aborda los efectos que tuvo la puesta en marcha del Seguro Obligatorio de Enfermedad (SOE), en 1944, y la construcción de su propia red de hospitales, conocidos como residencias sanitarias, en el funcionamiento y supervivencia de estas viejas infraestructuras municipales y provinciales. Finalmente se analiza su práctica desaparición tras la cesión de las competencias sanitarias en la transición democrática (AU)

Resumo Este trabalho analisou um artefato (um livro de saúde) concebido pelo povo maxakali, denominado Hitupmã'ax: curar (2008). Tangenciado o projeto de produção do livro, o objetivo foi entender o processo de negociação da saúde pública no Brasil, dentro de uma perspectiva histórica e intercultural das epistemologias não ocidentais. Constatamos que a construção da obra maxakali representa um esforço para diminuir a distância da percepção e dos cuidados de saúde entre indígenas e não indígenas, e por essa via demonstramos a importância desse projeto intercultural para a efetivação de políticas públicas voltadas para o público indígena em geral e, especificamenete, para a promoção da história, dos saberes e da cultura maxakali.
Abstract This study analyzed an artifact (a book on health) conceived by the Maxakali people, called Hitupmã'ax: curar (2008). Parallel to the project for the production of this book, the aim was to understand the negotiation of public health in Brazil from a historical and intercultural perspective of non-Western epistemologies. It was found that the construction of the Maxakali work represented an effort to bridge the gap in the perception of health and health care between indigenous and non-indigenous people. This was then used to demonstrate the importance of this intercultural project for the shaping of public policies for indigenous people in general and particularly for the promotion of the history, knowledge, and culture of the Maxakali people.

Resumen En este ensayo se discute la situación de la atención a la salud en Mesoamérica antes e inmediatamente después de 1519. En los primeros 50 años después de la Conquista, los españoles hicieron un uso muy extensivo de la medicina náhuatl. Sin embargo, con el tiempo, el ámbito de influencia de esta tradición se vio limitado debido a la rápida imposición de un sistema de atención muy diferente que poco aprovechó, entre otras cosas, la riqueza terapéutica de la medicina prehispánica.
Abstract This paper discusses the situation of healthcare in Mesoamerica before and immediately after 1519. In the first 50 years after the Conquest, the Spaniards made extensive use of Nahuatl medicine. However, the influence of this medical tradition was limited due to the rapid imposition of a very different medical system which took little advantage of, among other things, the therapeutic wealth of pre-Hispanic healing traditions.

RESUMEN Entre fines del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX, la provincia de Mendoza presentaba un estado sanitario marcado por el crecimiento demográfico y urbanístico, la escasez de los servicios públicos y la destrucción de la antigua ciudad colonial como consecuencia del terremoto de 1861, lo que propiciaba un ambiente favorable para el desarrollo de diversas enfermedades infectocontagiosas. El objetivo de este artículo es indagar cómo se fue profesionalizando y expandiendo el sistema de salud en la provincia de Mendoza a fines del siglo XIX e inicios del XX, y cómo esos factores, junto con las representaciones sobre la enfermedad que predominaban en el discurso de la elite gobernante, incidieron en las políticas públicas para combatir las dolencias de la época. Para ello se consultaron diversos documentos escritos y fotográficos que permitieron analizar las modificaciones del discurso y las políticas públicas implementadas.
ABSTRACT From the late 19th century to the beginning of the 20th, the province of Mendoza presented problematic sanitary conditions due to rapid demographic and urban growth, the scarcity of public services, and the poor state of the old colonial city (destroyed by the 1861 earthquake), which facilitated the spread of various infectious diseases. The objective of this article is to inquire into the ways in which the healthcare system in the province of Mendoza both expanded and became increasingly professionalized from the late 19th to early 20th century. We explore how these factors, along with the predominant social representations of disease that permeated the discourses of governing elites, influenced public policy aimed at combating the diseases of the time. To that end, we consulted a wide range of written documents and photographic material that allowed us to analyze changes in discourse as well as public policy.

El artículo presenta un primer análisis sobre la asistencia sanitaria en la Corte española durante el siglo XIX. Se hará hincapié en cuestiones como la estructura y organización de dicha asistencia en Palacio, los médicos cortesanos desde una perspectiva de estudio sociológica y el papel y potencial influencia de destacados médicos de cámara. Hombres que, por su cercanía y contacto profesional directo con el Monarca de turno, podían manejarse con una cierta soltura en las redes de poder cortesanas y dentro de las relaciones de sociabilidad del ámbito más exclusivo del Madrid de mediados del siglo XIX: la Corte. En este sentido destacan los casos de Pedro Castelló Ginestá y Tomás del Corral y Oña. Todo ello desde un enfoque interdisciplinar bajo la imbricación de elementos metodológicos procedentes de la historia de la medicina y la nueva historia política
The article presents a first analysis about healthcare in the Spanish Court during the 19th century. Emphasis will be placed on issues such as the structure and organization of such assistance in the Palace, the court doctors from a sociological perspective and the role and potential influence of outstanding chamber doctors. Some men who, for their closeness and direct professional contact with the Monarch, could handle easily in the courtly networks of power and the social relationships in the most exclusive space of mid-19th century Madrid: the Court. In this regard, the illustratives cases of Pedro Castelló Ginestá and Tomás del Corral y Oña stand out. All this from an interdisciplinary approach under the imbrication of methodological elements from the history of medicine and the new political history

Resumo O presente artigo busca estabelecer uma narrativa sobre alguns aspectos da trajetória acadêmica e militante do professor e educador popular Victor Valla, tendo como destaque uma problemática assinalada por ele em vários textos e debates, sobre a recorrente incompreensão de alguns pesquisadores e técnicos (assistentes sociais, educadores, médicos, enfermeiros, etc.) sobre as classes populares e suas falas. Valla ressaltava a existência de produção de conhecimento para além do circuito tradicional das universidades e centros de pesquisa, especialmente no âmbito das classes populares, que, para ele, estaria imbricada em suas práticas. Neste sentido, advogava uma nova postura teórica e metodológica para os projetos sociais, educacionais culturais e de saúde junto aos grupos populares, o que seria totalmente coerente e compatível com as premissas de um sistema de saúde democrático e equânime, apregoado pelos envolvidos com a área da Saúde.
Abstract The article explores aspects of the academic and activist life of the teacher and popular educator Victor Valla, particularly his repeated critiques, in writings and debates, about how some researchers and some social workers, educators, medical providers, and others working with the popular classes failed to understand these groups and their discourse. Valla embraced the idea that knowledge can be produced outside the traditional walls of universities and research centers, especially by the popular classes, who embed knowledge production in their very practices. In this regard, he advocated a new theoretical and methodological posture in social, cultural, educational, and health projects among the poor, in total consonance with the presuppositions of a democratic, equitable healthcare system, as supported by those involved in the health sector.

Resumen El periodo que comienza en 1940 es crucial para la creación del moderno sistema de salud de México. El Instituto de Salubridad y Enfermedades Tropicales es la institución pionera en investigación en salud y en sus primeras dos décadas logra madurez y consolida líneas de investigación expresadas en casi 1700 publicaciones. También obtiene notoria visibilidad internacional y fue seleccionado como referencia regional para la vigilancia epidemiológica de influenza, estreptococo y salmonela. Su evolución se produjo con ritmo de innovación que iría disminuyendo para el final de ese periodo. Enfrentó limitaciones para renovar líneas de trabajo, investigadores y equipo de laboratorio, sin embargo, su papel en las decisiones de la salud pública del país siguió siendo central.
Abstract The period that starts in 1940 is crucial for the creation of Mexicos modern health system. The Institute of Sanitary and Tropical Diseases is the pioneer institution in health research and on its first two decades it achieved maturity and consolidated lines of research expressed in almost 1700 publications. It also obtained notorious international visibility and was selected as a regional reference for epidemiological surveillance of influenza, streptococcus and salmonella. Its evolution took place with an innovation rhythm that would be decreasing by the end of this period. It faced limitations to renew lines of research, researchers and laboratory equipment. However, its role in public health decisions of the country remained central.

O nosso estudo analisa o hospital da Misericórdia de Vila Viçosa em 1870 com base na descrição elaborada pelo administrador do concelho nessa data. Os elementos fornecidos procuram conhecer a instituição a que está ligado -a Misericórdia-, e contribuir para uma melhor administração. Com base nesta fonte é possível conhecer o hospital, bem como a política seguida pela confraria no tocante à saúde. O seu estudo dá a conhecer o funcionamento da instituição, desde os seus espaços aos doentes, apresentando um hospital Municipal de traça quinhentista, embora adaptado às necessidades do século XIX. Integra ainda as sugestões do administrador do concelho, embora estas não sejam implementadas devido à escassez de receitas com que o hospital se debatia, as quais eram as responsáveis pelo estado de degradação em que alguns dos seus espaços se encontravam, mas sobretudo pelo corte no internamento de doentes e da assistência aos que se curavam em suas casas
Our study analyzes the hospital of the Misericórdia of Vila Viçosa in the 1870, based on the description made by the county administrator in that date. The elements given provided seek to know the institution in which is connected - the Misericórdia -, and to contribute to better administration. Based on this source is possible to know the hospital, as well as the politic pursued by the brotherhood in regards to the health. Its study makes known the functioning of the institution, from its spaces to the sick people, presenting a Municipal hospital of fifths hundred traces, although tailored to the needs of the XIX century. It also integrates the suggestions of the municipal administrator, although these are not implemented due to the lack of revenue that the hospital was debating, which were responsible for the state of degradation in which some of its spaces were located, but especially for the cut in hospitalization and the care of those who were cured in their homes

Resumen La visión del gobierno cardenista y el proceso para crear el Instituto de Salubridad y Enfermedades Tropicales, considerado estratégico para la salud pública, fueron congruentes con las acciones llevadas a cabo: el Departamento de Salubridad Pública encargó al científico más relevante de la época, Eliseo Ramírez, el diseño y seguimiento del Instituto, que una comisión del Consejo Nacional de Educación Superior y la Investigación Científica revisó, aprobó y desde su inicio le confirió el carácter de investigación con vocación social y humanística. El Instituto de Salubridad y Enfermedades Tropicales se convirtió en el primer organismo posrevolucionario que nació con plazas bien remuneradas para realizar investigación de tiempo completo en México, ofreciendo servicio clínico y enseñanza y apoyando las campañas sanitarias en la prevención y control de las enfermedades. Sin duda fue un parteaguas en la salud pública mexicana y cristalizó las expectativas de varias generaciones de médicos e investigadores en salud para tener una institución de alto nivel. Es la más significativa institución de salud pública del país, con una nueva etapa como Instituto de Diagnóstico y Referencia Epidemiológicos; sin ella no se entiende la moderna salud pública de México.
Abstract Lázaro Cárdenas government vision, and the process to create the Sanitary and Tropical Diseases Institute, which is considered strategic for public health, were consistent with the actions that were carried out: the Department of Public Sanitary asked the most relevant scientist of those days, Eliseo Ramírez, to design and follow-up the Institute's project. A commission of the Higher Education and Scientific Research Council reviewed and approved the project and conferred this institution its nature of research center with social and humanistic vocation since its foundation. Sanitary and Tropical Diseases Institute became the first post-revolutionary health institution that was born with well-remunerated job positions to conduct full-time research in Mexico, offering clinical services, teaching and supporting disease prevention and control campaigns. It was with no doubt a milestone in Mexican public health and crystalized the expectations of several generations of physicians and health researchers about having a high-level institution. It is the most significant public health institution of the country, with a new phase as Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference. Without it, Mexican modern public health cannot be understood.

RESUMEN El cuidado de las personas y de su salud es una función primaria de la familia y de la sociedad como lo demuestran estudios sobre los humanos primitivos, así como en el Perú prehispánico. La conquista y los siglos posteriores de colonización quebraron la forma tradicional del cuidado de las personas, reemplazando la solidaridad social por acciones de caridad principalmente de órdenes religiosas que propiciaron hospicios luego denominados hospitales. Durante la colonia y hasta principios del siglo XX el cuidado de los enfermos siguió siendo responsabilidad de las instituciones de caridad, como las Beneficencias creadas luego de la independencia. Los derechos sociales como la educación y la salud recién surgen en las primeras décadas del pasado siglo, plasmándose en la Constitución de 1933. Sin embargo, tanto en esa Constitución como en la de 1979 y la de 1993 el derecho a la educación fue reconocido más plenamente, siendo más limitado en salud. La ley de Aseguramiento Universal en Salud del 2009 propone garantizar para todos el derecho al acceso a servicios de salud con calidad, como parte del derecho a la salud en sentido amplio. Las limitaciones actuales obligan a redefinir el derecho de todas las personas al cuidado integral de su salud y la rectoría del Estado para garantizarlo.
ABSTRACT The care of people and their health is a primary function of the family and of society as shown by studies on primitive humans, as well as in pre-Hispanic Peru. The conquest and subsequent centuries of colonization fractured the traditional way of caring for people, replacing social solidarity with charity actions mainly from religious orders that provided hospices later called hospitals. During the colony and until the beginning of the 20th century, the care of the sick continued to be the responsibility of charitable institutions, such as the Charities created after independence. Social rights such as education and health only emerged in the first decades of the last century and were enshrined in the 1933 Constitution. However, both in that Constitution as in those from 1979 and 1993, the right to education was recognized more fully, while the right to heath was limited. The Universal Health Coverage Act of 2009 propounds guaranteeing the right to access quality healthcare services for everybody, as part of the right to health in the broadest sense. The current limitations force us to redefine the right of every citizen to comprehensive care of their health and the State's guidance to guarantee it.

El artículo intenta aproximarse a la realidad sociosanitaria de más de 210 mil refugiados civiles que cruzaron la frontera pirenaica en el invierno de 1939. Este colectivo estuvo constituido principalmente por mujeres, niños y ancianos. A su llegada a Francia, la población civil fue reconducida hacía más de 1.500 centros de alojamiento. Nos encontramos ante espacios que se diferenciaron de los campos de concentración en lo que respecta a libertad y trato humano. Hemos podido acercarnos a esta realidad gracias a los informes emitidos por las delegadas de la Commission d'Aide aux Enfants Espagnols Refugies en France entre marzo y junio de 1939
The aim of this paper consist in approaching the socio-health reality of more than 210,000 civilian refugees who crossed the Pyrenean border during the winter of 1939. This group mainly comprised women, children, and the elderly. Upon arrival in France, these civilians were redirected to more than 1,500 housing centers, which differed from concentration camps in terms of freedom and human treatment. We have been able to know details about their experience thanks to reports by the delegates of the Commission d'Aide aux Enfants Espagnols Refugies en France between March and June 1939
