The content also delves into the emerging roles of AI and robotics in healthcare, providing a forward-thinking perspective on how technology intersects with cultural competence. The book also introduces the post-human theory, exploring its relevance to cultural and compassionate competence in health care.Transcultural Care is not just a textbook, but a practical resource with case studies, exercises, and interesting videos that allow self-paced learning.

    • Gordis. Epidemiología

      • 7th Edition
      • January 15, 2025

      • Spanish
      Nueva edición de este texto que ya en su séptima edición se presenta como la referencia para el conocimiento de los principios y conceptos básicos de la epidemiología en la que se refleja cómo se practica la epidemiología hoy en día, con capítulos que progresan desde la observación y el desarrollo de hipótesis hasta la recopilación y el análisis de datos. Esta séptima edición, al igual que la previa, consta de tres secciones. La sección 1 aborda cómo se utiliza la epidemiología para comprender la salud y el desarrollo de enfermedades en las poblaciones, la sección 2 detalla los métodos utilizados por los epidemiólogos principalmente para atribuir asociacio­nes entre una exposición hipotética (riesgo) y un resul­tado de salud y la sección 3 aborda las aplicaciones cotidianas de la epidemiología en la salud pública. Se ha continuado aplicando el uso que el profe­sor Gordis hacía de las ilustraciones y ejemplos para demostrar cómo se ponen en práctica las cuestiones y principios epidemiológicos. Se han actualizado los ejemplos ampliamente y hemos añadido otros nuevos a lo largo de todo el texto. Muchos de los capítulos pre­vios se han editado y actualizado exhaustivamente y algunos de ellos se han ampliado en gran medida. Igualmente se ofrece una amplia cobertura del Covid19. Incluye preguntas al final del capítulo para una rápida autoevaluación y un glosario de terminología genética. La nueva edición ofrece acceso a la totalidad del e-book y a un conjunto de 200 preguntas adicionales a través de la plataforma e-book+ (contenido íntegramente en inglés).
