Research priority-setting is an ethics exercise: lessons from the Global Forum on Bioethics in Research for the Region of the Americas

Following the 2023 meeting of the Global Forum on Bioethics in Research (GFBR), this letter to the editor makes a call to consider health research priority-setting as an ethical exercise in Latin America and the Caribbean. This implies that research priority-setting processes are not limited to a matter of procedures, but rather include an explicit discussion of the substantive ethical criteria that guide prioritization.

La priorización de la investigación es un ejercicio ético: lecciones del Foro Global de Bioética en la Investigación para la Región de las Américas

A raíz de la reunión del 2023 del Foro Global de Bioética en la Investigación (GFBR por su sigla en inglés), esta carta al editor hace un llamado a considerar la priorización de la investigación en salud como un ejercicio ético en América Latina y el Caribe. Ello implica que los procesos de priorización de la investigación no se limiten a cuestiones procedimentales, sino que incluyan una discusión explícita sobre los criterios éticos sustantivos que guían la priorización.

All about compression: A literature review.

Lower extremity ulcers represent a significant public health problem as they frequently progress to chronicity, significantly impact daily activities and comfort, and represent a huge financial burden to the patient and the health system. The aim of this review was to discuss the best approach for venous leg ulcers (VLUs). Online searches were conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, EBSCO CINAHL, and reference lists and official guidelines. Keywords considered for this review were VLU, leg ulcer, varicose ulcer, compressive therapy, compression, and stocking. A complete assessment of the patient's overall health should be performed by a trained practitioner, focusing on history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dietetic habits, medications, and practice of physical exercises, followed by a thorough assessment of both legs. Compressive therapy is the gold standard treatment for VLUs, and the ankle-brachial index should be measured in all patients before compression application.
