ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: All humans have the right to receive a thorough medical attention, and should not be discriminated. AIMS: To determine if there is a significant relationship between Medical Oaths that commit to the principle of no discrimination in health care and the time, origin and source of the modifications to the Hippocratic Oath. To specify which are the conditions for no discrimination. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty Oaths found in different articles and publications were analyzed and selected considering their historical context. RESULTS: Of the fifty Oaths that were analyzed, nineteen express a commitment towards no discrimination, whereas one of the texts is discriminatory. The only significant relationship found was the origin and source of the texts. The most frequently discriminating factors found are social class, religion, nationality and race. At present, other factors can be found such as ideology, moral, aptitude, sex and political and sexual preferences. CONCLUSIONS: The commitment towards no discrimination is not widely found in Medical Oaths of all times (30/50). According to the bioethics principle of justice, physicians should find the limit of their obligation as doctors in providing medical assistance to everyone alike, wealthy or poor; Christians, Hebrews or Muslims; men or women; children, adults or old; with or without infectious diseases. Non discrimination should be a vow that physicians must be willing to take despite any of the factors that could influence health care.

ABSTRACT

Se estudió el efecto cronotrópico luego de la administración aguda de nifedipina (NIF) en perros conscientes intactos y después de bloqueo autonómico. Los experimentos se realizaron en perros instrumentados con cateteres que se exteriorizaron en la aprte dorsal del cuello. Uno de ellos se colocó en la cavidad del ventrículo izquierdo (VI) a través de la punta para medir presión sistólica del VI (PSVI). Se midieron la máxima caída de presión sistólica (deltaP, en mmHg), el máximo incremento de frecuencia cardíaca (delta F, en latidos/min), y se calculó el cociente entre ambos (deltaF/deltaP, en latidos/min/mmHg) y el tiempo trascurrido entre estas dos variables (deltaT en seg) luego de la adminsitración de NIF. A través del cateter en vena yugular se administraron 2 dosis de NIF endovenosa (a = 50 µg/Kg, b = 150 µg/Kg) como droga única (grupos Ia y Ib); en presencia de 2 mg/Kg de propranolol IIa y IIb); y propranolol (2 mg/Kg) más 0,2 mg/Kg de atropina (grupos IIIa y IIIb. La NIF produjo disminución de PSVI y aumento de la FC. Los cambios de delta F/delta P fueron menos intensos en el grupo con propranolol, mientras que en aquellos con propranolol + atropina la frecuencia cardíaca no se modificó. Se concluye que la NIF, por su efecto hipotensor, induce una respuesta taquicardizante que es atenuada por el bloqueo beta adrenérgico, y suprimida por el doble bloqueo adrenérgico y colinérgico
