A bibliometric study of Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas (REED) based on SciELO indicators for the period 2004-2018.

The aim of this study was to show the potentialities offered by the SciELO network indicators for the management of scientific journals, via a case study involving the Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas (REED). SciELO offers indicators (production, collaboration, use) that complement the conventional analysis indices used for written science. In order to illustrate their use as a bibliometric, a descriptive study was performed of the scientific production published by the above-mentioned journals during the period 2004-2018. In the last five years, REED received 3,976,685 visits. The second issue from 2007 was the most widely accessed sample to date. A total of 173 issues, 1,810 citable articles, 2,927 documents and 47,645 references have been published, with the number of published papers increasing by 268 %. Clinical case reports make up the highest number. REED received a total of 3,613 citations, with a self-citation rate of 60 %. Of all published documents, 42 % originated in Spain and 10.6 % abroad. Group authorship predominates over individual authors, with a median and mode of 5. The cooperation index was 5.12. The highest impact factor was 0.492 in 2008. The journals most commonly cited by REED are all foreign publications in the Gastroenterology and Hepatology section of the Science Citation Index.

La Seguridad Social llegó al campo: resistencias y limitaciones en la España del segundo franquismo (1959-1975) / A Segurança Social chegou ao campo: resistências e limitações na Espanha do segundo franquismo / Social Security arrives in the country: resistance and limitations in Spain during the late Franco regime (1959-1975)

El objetivo del artículo es analizar dos aspectos de la asistencia sanitaria en el medio rural español durante el segundo periodo de la dictadura franquista (1959-1975). Primero analizamos la implantación del Régimen Especial Agrario de la Seguridad Social (1966), que proporcionó asistencia sanitaria a los trabajadores del campo. Hasta entonces, habían sido excluidos del Seguro Obligatorio de Enfermedad (1944), destinado a obreros industriales y otros asalariados con bajos ingresos. En segundo lugar, analizamos la oposición de los médicos rurales a la ampliación de la cobertura sanitaria a los trabajadores agrícolas. Para lograr ambos objetivos analizamos las limitaciones del ejercicio médico en el ámbito rural y cómo la Dictadura intentó solucionar infructuosamente estos problemas. Las fuentes empleadas han sido: disposiciones legislativas, publicaciones de los colegios profesionales oficiales, prensa dedicada a discutir problemas del ejercicio médico, informes sociológicos y documentación de archivo.

Em primeiro lugar, analisamos a introdução do Regime Especial de Previdência Social Agrária (1966), que proporcionou assistência médica aos trabalhadores rurais. Até então, eram excluídos do Seguro Obrigatório de Saúde (1944), destinado aos operários da indústria e demais trabalhadores com baixos salários. Em segundo lugar, analisamos a oposição dos médicos rurais à extensão da cobertura de saúde aos trabalhadores agrícolas. Para alcançar ambos os objetivos, analisamos as limitações da prática médica no meio rural e como a ditadura tentou resolver esses problemas, sem sucesso. As fontes utilizadas são: disposições legislativas, publicações de associações profissionais oficiais, imprensa dedicada a discutir problemas da prática médica, relatórios sociológicos e documentação arquivística.

The objective of the article is to analyze two aspects of healthcare in rural Spain during the second period of the Franco dictatorship (1959-1975). Firstly, we analyze the introduction of the Special Agrarian Social Security Regime (1966), which provided healthcare to rural workers. Until then, rural workers had been excluded from the Compulsory Health Insurance (1944), which provided healthcare to industrial and other low-income workers. Secondly, we analyze the position of rural doctors against the extension of health coverage to rural workers. To achieve both objectives, we analyze the limitations of medical practice in the rural milieu and how Franco's dictatorship unsuccessfully managed these limitations. We have used several sources: legal regulations, publications of official professional associations, press devoted to medical practice, sociological reports, and archival records. (AU)

[Medical education and medical anthropology in Europe: the cases of Italy and Spain]. / Educación sanitaria y antropología médica en Europa: los casos de Italia y España.

The aim of this article is to compare the development of health education in Italy and Spain from the point of view of the role played by medical anthropology in both countries. The context is provided by the changes in the concept of health education advocated by the UN technical agencies, especially the World Health Organization and Unesco, during the second half of the twentieth century. Despite their many similarities, Italy and Spain underwent different political evolutions over the last century. Therefore, it is interesting to compare both cases and the influence the social sciences had in health education initiatives. In order to assess the role of medical anthropology, the 1958 launch and the development of the Centro Sperimentale per l'Educazione Sanitaria (Perugia, Italy), which was at the forefront of health education in Europe until the 1990s, was reconstructed through oral sources. After a brief description of the scant initiatives regarding health education existing in the Spain of the dictatorship, the influence of the Perusine anthropologists on Spanish health education during the democratic transition is evaluated.

Educación sanitaria y antropología médica en Europa: los casos de Italia y España / Medical education and medical anthropology in Europe: the cases of Italy and Spain

RESUMEN El objetivo de este artículo es comparar el desarrollo de la educación sanitaria en Italia y España desde el punto de vista del papel jugado por la antropología médica en ambos países, en un contexto marcado por los cambios en el concepto de educación sanitaria que propugnaron los organismos técnicos de las Naciones Unidas, en especial la Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Unesco, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. A pesar de sus similitudes como países, Italia y España tuvieron evoluciones políticas muy diferentes durante el siglo pasado, por tanto, es interesante comparar ambos casos y la influencia que tuvieron las ciencias sociales en las iniciativas de educación sanitaria. Para valorar el papel de la antropología médica, mediante el uso de fuentes orales, hemos reconstruido la puesta en marcha, en 1958, y el desarrollo del Centro Sperimentale per l'Educazione Sanitaria (Perugia, Italia), que estuvo en la vanguardia de la educación sanitaria en Europa hasta los años noventa. Tras una breve descripción de las escasas iniciativas sobre educación sanitaria en la España de la dictadura, evaluamos la influencia de los antropólogos perusinos en la educación para la salud española durante la transición democrática.

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to compare the development of health education in Italy and Spain from the point of view of the role played by medical anthropology in both countries. The context is provided by the changes in the concept of health education advocated by the UN technical agencies, especially the World Health Organization and Unesco, during the second half of the twentieth century. Despite their many similarities, Italy and Spain underwent different political evolutions over the last century. Therefore, it is interesting to compare both cases and the influence the social sciences had in health education initiatives. In order to assess the role of medical anthropology, the 1958 launch and the development of the Centro Sperimentale per l'Educazione Sanitaria (Perugia, Italy), which was at the forefront of health education in Europe until the 1990s, was reconstructed through oral sources. After a brief description of the scant initiatives regarding health education existing in the Spain of the dictatorship, the influence of the Perusine anthropologists on Spanish health education during the democratic transition is evaluated.

Popularizing right food and feeding practices in Spain (1847-1950). The handbooks of domestic economy.

The aim of this paper is to analyze a sample of domestic economy handbooks in order to assess the popularization of correct food and feeding practices in Spain between 1847 and 1950. With this contribution, we wish to evaluate another factor that would influence the Spanish food transition. We are aware that this is a very indirect source, given the high levels of illiteracy among women in Spain during the last third of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. A further factor to be considered is the low proportion of girls attending school. We have analyzed the handbooks published in three periods. The first ranges from the last third of the 19th century to the first decade of the 20th. These handbooks are considered in order to provide background for a comparison with the works published from 1900 onwards. The second period focuses on the 1920s and the 1930s. The last period covers the handbooks published after the Civil War under the monopoly of the Sección Femenina (women's section of the Falange). Over the years under consideration, recommendations underwent a progressive modification from the very simple leaflets used in the 19th century to the introduction of scientific factors into the teaching of domestic economy.The work of Rosa Sensat represented the beginnings of this trend. A further modernizing factor was the appearance of vitamins in some of the handbooks. After the war, the number of handbooks decreased and they were, in general, very poor. If we consider the content on vitamins, there was a lack or shortage of information in comparison with some of the books published in the same period outside the monopoly of the Sección Femenina. In conclusion, we can state that the repetition of recommendations on good feeding habits and the increase in girls attending school would exert a positive influence on the food transition of the Spanish population.

Health and the war. Changing schemes and health conditions during the Spanish civil war.

This paper focuses on the health reforms during the republican Spain (1931-1939) and the crisis derived from the three-year of civil war. It considers how the war affected the health system and the impairment of health conditions of the population during the late 1930s, considering the changing conditions caused by the conflict. Some of the specific topics analysed are the changing healthcare system, the adaptation of health organization after the outbreak of the war, the impact of the war on the health of the population and epidemiological changes, the problem of the refugees and the clinical studies by experts, mainly on undernourishment.

[Technology, specialization and the public. The creation of a "Leukaemia Clinic" at the Provincial Hospital in Alicante (1953-1960)]. / Tecnología, especialismo y sus audiencias. La "Clinica de Leucemias" del Hospital Provinicial de Alicante (1953-1960).

The mid-20th century opening of a public specialized Clinic for the treatment of patients affected by Leukaemia was a significant event in Alicante. It represented both the beginning of specialization in the field of blood diseases and an opportunity for the Provincial Hospital to enter the world of laboratory research. The social prestige of medical technologies, the introduction of a blood transfusion service and the figure of Dr. Mas Magro were the fundamental reasons behind the birth of this project in spite of its high cost. The aim of the paper is to analyze a case of the development of medical technologies at a local level.

Una práctica inconstante: la vacunación contra la viruela en el Alicante del siglo XIX

España no pudo asegurar la vacunación de toda su población infantil durante el siglo XIX. En este trabajo nos ocupamos de las causas de este fracaso utilizando como estudio de caso la ciudad de Alicante. Las principales causas de la inconstante práctica de la vacunación en Alicante fueron la ausencia de servicios sanitarios adecuados, la oposición o la negligencia de la población y algunos obstáculos técnicos (AU)

[Science and ideology in studies on human growth in France and Spain (1900-1950)]. / Ciencia e ideología en los estudios sobre crecimiento humano en Francia y en España (1900-1950).

The comparative analysis of human growth studies based on French and Spanish medical literature and other sources published during the first half of the 20th Century allows us to show the ideological uses of a supposedly objective science. Analysis of the writings published in the two countries is an appropriate method to reconstruct the different trends in human growth studies, given the diverse scientific, social, political and ideological variables.

[With human and divine means: the fight against disease and death in 18th century Alicante]. / Con medios humanos y divinos: la lucha contra la enfermedad y la mueret en Alicante en el silgo XVIII.

The nucleus of this work is the wide spectrum of means available to the inhabitants of the city of Alicante in the 18th century to fight against disease. Alongside healthcare professionals properly trained as physicians, surgeons, barbers or midwives, there were both other healers of heterogeneous types and religious resources. The study considers, in a comprehensive and articulated way, the whole repertoire of therapeutic and healthcare alternatives provided to the inhabitants of Alicante. The interpretation of the results is carried out taking into account the historiographical framework developed in recent years that considers the medical marketplace as an economic and cultural concept.
