One of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus is diabetic foot ulcer, as an important source of morbidity and mortality. The case of a 43-years-old patient with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, of seven years of evolution, referred from the Emergency Department of the Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy University Polyclinic, Abreus, with the diagnosis of neuroinfectious diabetic foot complicated with an abscess is presented. Drainage of the abscess, modification of insulin treatment, and debridement of the lesion were performed. In addition, antibiotics and Heberprot-P® were indicated. In the absence of satisfactory evolution, new debridement was performed, with amputation of the third and fourth toes of the left foot; the initial treatment was resumed, this time combined with local and rectal ozone therapy. From week 18 on, the patient progressed favorably, with the presence of good granulation, gradual disappearance of pain and acceleration of the complete healing process of the lesion, in addition to achieving efficient metabolic control. The described case confirms the efficacy and safety of the Heberprot-P® combined use and ozone therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: knowledge about the mosquito’s breeding grounds motivates residents and decision makers to work on the issues that affect the mosquito proliferation; as well as effective community participation, and success in the prevention and control of arboviral diseases. Objective: to characterize the Aedes aegypti mosquito’s breeding grounds. Methods: an observational, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was carried out on Aedes aegypti’s breeding grounds detected in the Abreus municipality, Cienfuegos province, from 2016 to 2022. 390 breeding grounds were the universe, for which the described variables were: statistical week, month and year of diagnosis, neighborhood, type of deposit, place of residence where it was found, and phase of the mosquito at diagnosis. Data from entomological surveys and records from the Municipal Hygiene and Epidemiology Unit’s Medical Entomology laboratory were used. Results: the median number of Aedes aegypti breeding grounds corresponded to statistical week 32 of each year. The largest number of outbreaks was detected in the Abreus’ neighborhood (165) and Juraguá (102); found mainly in yards (85.5 %) and low tanks (55.5 %). The larval phase in IV stage predominated (82.3 %). Conclusions: in the municipality of Abreus, the focality of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes was characterized by its highest incidence in the months of June to September, with predominance in the popular council of Abreus, especially in low tanks and yards.

The aim of this article is to identify culturally relevant scripts in the playful maternal narrative that allow identifying possible mothers' intentions and derive assumptions about the effect of maternal narratives on early socialization. Methodology: An inductive microanalysis of interactions coded the naturalistic game of eight dyads at six weeks, six months and one year of the baby. Grounded Theory reveals the most frequent patterns. It concludes the maternal narratives that are articulated with everyday objects point to cultural meanings to make them accessible to the infant, appealing to everyday scripts and thus conforming to social orientations.

The catastrophic effects derived from COVID-19 for the survival of the cultural sphere in the world have once again made rural areas, peri-urban environments and less populated areas a source of interest for millions of people. Personal and family security, environmental and economic living conditions and the improvement of equipment and services are factors that have already generated perceptible movements back to the field of professionals and families. Knowing that cultural endowments and initiatives and installation costs are competitive advantages that increase this attractiveness, we approach cultural policies for the countryside, its conditions and constraints, through some of its most relevant initiatives in the democratic period in Spain with a special mention to a pioneering program: Culturalcampo.

This document aims to implement an economic-law analysis for the problem posed by the duty to mitigate the damage to personal integrity. In this way, at first, this work will be in charge of establishing the dogmatic that explains the figure of the mitigation of the damage within the Law of the Extracontractual Responsibility, the previous thing emphasizing the perspective of the Constitutional Law and the Civil Law. Then, in a second point, the Economic Analysis of Law will be applied in order to settle the theoretical debate that, in legal terms, poses the mitigation of personal integrity damage. Thus, this study will analyze the tension of rights generated by the mitigation of damage and the principle of inviolability of the human body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, chronic, and idiopathic dermatosis, characterized by pustules and coalescent ulcers. It usually develops on previously traumatized skin, especially on the lower extremities and trunk. It is associated with systemic diseases, and surgical treatments tend to worsen clinical signs and symptoms as a result of pathergy. There is no treatment of choice, but immunosuppressive therapy is accepted. Two cases of pyoderma gangrenosum associated with burns, an entity rarely collected in the literature, are presented, with different approaches and courses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After reviewing very briefly some of the numerous studies on the history of Spanish culture in the last four decades, noting the absence of global research to analyze the impact of proximity cultural policies, the article extends and previews the content of the monograph on Local Cultural Policies, while proposing priorities for a desirable future: defense of cultural capital against cultural capitalism, modesty in its enunciation and defense, incorporation of gender and otherness as core values of the strategies, links between culture and development, recovery of technological control and effective access rights.

In this second instalment of the text (for part one, see Periférica no 18: https://revistas.uca.es/index.php/periferica/ article/view/4182), I return to some of the extremes indicated in the first part in order to highlight some of the unique factors associated with cultural policies in Great Britain from the end of World War II until the present day. To this end, I will review the two main trends in political thought with respect to the role of culture in public well-being: cultural democracy or the democratisation of culture in its diverse aspects. I will address the crucial role of Cultural Studies in shaping the debate and will explore some of its principal ideas today. I will also summarise the function of some of the organisations responsible for cultural management and comment on the singular nature of their organisation. In addition, I will examine the central role played by the large metropolitan corporations in ensuring the continuity of access policies and in defining the new hegemonic discourses of the 21st century. Special attention will be paid to particular actors (generally male, with two notable exceptions) and to changes in cultural policies under the Wilson/Blair Labour governments and Thatcher's Conservative government, noting the arrival -to stay- of the discourse of the creative industries and describing the current panorama of cultural debate in the country. As with the first part, the present article excludes numerous matters that are too complex to address in the limited space available (for example, the different policies of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

The unjust enrichment is a classical legal figure emerged in Civil Law. However, in the last decades, its greatest development has been given in administrative jurisprudence, where the figure has been adopted to protect individuals who have become impoverished in a unjustified and in favor of the State, who were deprived of legal protection. Thus, the Council of State adopted the basic structure of the unjust enrichment, but added some changes. In this order, This article intends, through the Economic Analysis of Law, to contrast these two interpretations and, based on an efficiency judgment, determine which is the most suitable for the legal and economic world.
