RESUMO

The US National Institutes of Health predict climate change will cause an additional 250,000 deaths between 2030 and 2050, with damages to health costing US$2-$4 billion by 2030. Although much debate still surrounds climate change, island ecosystems-such as Cuba's-in the developing world are arguably among the most vulnerable contexts in which to confront climate variability. Beginning in the 1990s, Cuba launched research to develop the evidence base, set policy priorities, and design mitigation and adaptation actions specifically to address climate change and its effects on health. Two researchers at the forefront of this interdisciplinary, intersectoral effort are epidemiologist Dr Guillermo Mesa, who directed design and implementation of the nationwide strategy for disaster risk reduction in the Cuban public health system as founding director of the Latin American Center for Disaster Medicine (CLAMED) and now heads the Disasters and Health department at the National School of Public Health; and Dr Paulo Ortiz, a biostatistician and economist at the Cuban Meteorology Institute's Climate Center (CENCLIM), who leads the research on Cuba's Climate and Health project and is advisor on climate change and health for the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).

RESUMO

Over the past few years, the most important disasters affecting Cuba have caused minimal loss of human life: suffice to note that just 28 lives were lost in the 13 hurricanes and tropical storms that hit the country from 2001 to 2007. But this was not always the case. In 1963, over 1,200 people died in Hurricane Flora alone.

RESUMO

Se abarca globalmente el tema de la iatrogenia desde una perspectiva médico-legal, enfatizando el significado que debe otorgársele al término iatropatogenia. Se estudian los aspectos más salientes del riesgo profesional haciendo hincapié tanto en los aspectos de previsible-imprevisible como en la necesidad o no de correrlo, de acuerdo a la posible justificación del acto médico llevado a cabo. Se señala suscintamente algunas áreas de la Responsabilidad Profesional más estrechamente vinculada en la iatropatogenia, así como el concepto de "lex artis", hipótesis esta medular para el ordenamiento y la compresión de la problemática enfocada. Finalmente se estudian las formas médico-legales de la iatropatogenia señalándose en cada una de ellas la responsabilidad que debe asignársele al médico
