ABSTRACT
The development of the anatomical-clinical method was a huge advance for modern medicine since it revealed a new approach to understanding diagnostic procedures. This change in medical thinking towards a more scientific basis has gradually evolved over several centuries, reaching its brilliant zenith with the contributions of the French school. There are certain similarities between the guidelines of the anatomical-clinical method and René Descartes' philosophical principles, so it is fair to consider him as one of the major precursors in this new line of thinking that definitely influenced the historical course of medicine.

El desarrollo del método anatomoclínico supuso un gran avance para la medicina moderna, ya que fue una nueva forma de entender el proceso diagnóstico. Este cambio de pensamiento hacia una forma más científica fue desarrollándose gradualmente durante varios siglos y culminó de forma brillante con las aportaciones de la escuela francesa. Hay ciertas similitudes entre el planteamiento del método anatomoclínico y el método filosófico propuesto por René Descartes, por lo que parece justo considerar a Descartes como uno de los precursores de una forma de pensar que cambió para siempre la medicina (AU)

Migraine is a common neurological disorder that has deserved attention since Antiquity. The English physician Gilbertus Anglicus dedicated a separate chapter of his thirteenth-century Compendium medicinae to it, which was then reproduced in some medical manuscripts from the later Middle Ages. MS Sloane 3486 and Wellcome MS 537 are two extant Middle English translations of the Latin exemplar composed by the end of the fifteenth century. This work will analyze how their copyists reduced Anglicus' long theoretical dissertations on the aetiology and semiology of migraine, in order to emphasize the real therapeutic needs of a nonuniversity-trained audience.

This is an statistical of the incidence of gastric cancer in the province of Burgos during the period of 1981-1985. The incidence of the disease in this area was the highest in Europe according to world Registries. We observed a high risk area which comprised the regions of Páramo, Bureda and Sierra and Burgos city. The incidence was 65.3 males and 33.4 females per 100,000 inhabitants/year. This values are two times higher than those observed in neighbouring areas and were only surpassed by areas of Costa Rica and Japan.
