ABSTRACT

A consecuencia del trauma que supuso la invasión de la Peste Negra de 1348, la población fue consciente de una muerte cercana que acechaba constantemente y regía todos los aspectos de la vida cotidiana. Los reinos peninsulares, en especial Castilla y el reino Nazarí fueron testigos de la invasión de la enfermedad, que hubieron de enfrentarla con todos los medios posibles a su alcance. La medicina ocupó un papel destacado en el desarrollo de la epidemia pudiendo establecer su control, en la medida de lo posible. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Tal que, a otros muchos, sin duda, con el inicio de los confinamientos decretados para intentar contener la actual pandemia, nos vino a la cabeza El séptimo sello (1957 ) de Bergman, relacionando los acontecimientos del tiempo en que se desarrolla la película con los que vivíamos y vivimos actualmente: la epidemia de Peste Negra que asolaba Suecia en el siglo XIV de un lado y la pandemia por Covid-19 de otro, sindemias ambas como algunos prefieren llamarlas.Tomando como disculpa la obra de Ingmar Bergman nuestra pretensión es hacer algunas comparaciones entre la peste medieval y la pandemia actual aportando algunas reflexiones y opiniones personales surgidas muchas de ellas de nuestra propia experiencia durante estos largos meses. (AU)


Such as many others, without question, the beginning of the decreed lockdowns to contain the current pandemic, Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957) came to our minds, relating the film time events with the current ones: the Black Death pandemic which isolated Sweden in XIV on one hand, and Covid-19 pandemic on the other, both syndemics as some prefer to name them.Using Ingmar Bergman's work as a reference, our aim is to make comparisons between the medieval plague and the actual pandemic, contributing with some reflections and personal opinions, many of them emerged from our own personal experience during these long months.

ABSTRACT

En el año 1348 una pandemia de la llamada «peste negra» asoló la humanidad y cambió el orden social, económico y geopolítico del mundo, tal como sucede actualmente con la causada por el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. El médico del reino nazarí de Granada, Ibn Jatima de Almería, escribió un Tratado sobre la peste en el cual se encuentran semejanzas epidemiológicas y clínicas entre ambas plagas. Así, dentro del contexto de la medicina greco-árabe, descubrió el contagio respiratorio y por contacto de la peste, y atribuyó su fisiopatología a una insuficiente refrigeración pulmonar del calor innato generado en el corazón y vehiculizado por el humor sanguíneo, equivalente al sistema de trasporte de oxígeno, lo cual generaba residuos tóxicos, como los radicales libres, que abocaba a un fallo multiorgánico (FMO) irreversible, factor de mortalidad como en la Covid-19. Por su similitud, sería el primer antecedente conocido del concepto fisiopatológico de FMO, hallazgo que enriquece nuestro patrimonio científico-histórico de la especialidad. (AU)


In 1348, a pandemic known as Black Death devastated humanity and changed social, economic and geopolitical world order, as is the current case with SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The doctor of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, Ibn Jatima from Almeria, wrote Treatise on the Plague, in which it may be found epidemiological and clinical similarities between both plagues. In the context of Greco-Arab medicine, he discovered respiratory and contact contagion of Pestis and attributed its physiopathology to a lack of pulmonary cooling of the innate heat, generated in the heart and carried by the blood humor. The process described was equivalent to the oxygen transport system. Furthermore, it was supposed to generate toxic residues, such as free radicals, leading to an irreversible multiple organ failure (MOF), considered a mortality factor as in Covid-19. Due to its similitude, it would be the first antecedent of the MOF physiopathological concept, a finding that enriches the scientific and historical heritage of our clinical specialty. (AU)

ABSTRACT

En la Inglaterra del siglo XI, un huérfano de 8 años llegará a ser el aprendiz de un cirujano-barbero.

Para ello, viajará a Oriente Medio donde se encuentra la más famosa escuela de Medicina. En Persia, logrará entrar como alumno en la madrasa de Ibn Sina (Avicena) donde recibirá una formación teórica y práctica de la medicina, así como de otras disciplinas para lograr ser un médico.
