ABSTRACT
La Real Academia de Medicina y Cirugía de Cádiz tiene su origen en la Sociedad Médica de Cádiz. El 30 de Septiembre de 1815 fue aprobado el Reglamento, sus Socios Fundadores fueron unos profesores del Real Colegio de Cirugía de la Armada. El estudio de las Topografías médicas, es un uso habitual en las Reales Academias de Medicina de España, desde que el Reglamento general para el Régimen literario e interior de las Reales Academias de Medicina y Cirugía del Reino de 1830 lo impuso. Los Socios corresponsales de la Real Academia de Medicina y Cirugía de Cádiz tuvieron una destacada responsabilidad en las descripciones de las Topografías Médicas. El objetivo es el estudio de una memoria de la Real Academia de Medicina y Cirugía de Cádiz sobre una noticia topográfica de Lanjarón. El autor de la memoria hace una descripción de la situación topográfica de Lanjarón, de su clima en las distintas estaciones, del terreno, de las calles, del estado de salud y de las fuentes de aguas minerales medicinales destinadas al consumo oral y a los baños. Eduardo Mª González, académico corresponsal de la Real Academia de Medicina y Cirugía de Cádiz en Lanjarón cumple así con sus deberes de realizar la topografía médica de su país de residencia(AU)

PURPOSE: To provide an overview of geographic information systems (GIS) and to discuss current and future applications in injury and trauma research. DESIGN: Literature review and discourse of GIS technology related to injury and trauma research. METHOD: A search of scientific literature databases, text books, and online resources was undertaken to describe the current and prospective uses of GIS in injury and trauma research. RESULTS: Geographic information systems are computerized mapping systems that link information from different data sets spatially. The advantage of GIS is the capability to graphically display different attributes of an area in a way that is easily interpretable. Geographic information systems have been used to study injury rates, describe populations at risk for injury, examine access to trauma care, and develop and assess injury prevention programs. CONCLUSIONS: Geographic information systems are tools for injury researchers to analyze injury rates and risks and to describe their results with colorful maps and graphics that allow the public to see how injuries affect their communities.
