Medicina Evolucionaria
Hola a Todos,
Aquí va otro link a un artículo muy interesante hecho en nuestro propio continente. Da una revisión general al tema. Ojo: este está en español.
Cita: Spotorno AE, Medicina evolucionaria: una ciencia básica emergente , Rev Méd Chile 2005; 133: 231-240 [ http://scielo-test.conicyt.cl/pdf/rmc/v133n2/art13.pdf ]Accedido 25/09/2006 1h40am
Resumen:
Evolutionary Medicine is an emergent basic science that offers new and varied perspectives to the comprehension of human health. The application of classic evolutionary theories (descent with modification, and natural selection) to the human organism, to its pathogens, and their mutual co-evolution, provides new explanations about why we get sick, how we can prevent this, and how we can heal. Medicine has focused mainly on the proximate or immediate causes of diseases and the treatment of symptoms, and very little on its evolutionary or mediate causes. For instance, the present human genome and phenotypes are essentially paleolithic ones: they are not adapted to modern life style, thus favoring the socalled diseases of civilization (ie: ateroesclerosis, senescence, myopia, phobias, panic attacks, stress, reproductive cancers). With the evolutionary approach, post-modern medicine is detecting better the vulnerabilities, restrictions, biases, adaptations and maladaptations of human body, its actual diseases, and its preventions (Rev Méd Chile 2005; 133: 231-40).
Saludos, Javier

Perspectiva Evolutiva en Ciencias de la Salud
Hola a todos,
La primera vez que oí de medicina darwiniana fue durante el curso de biología I en la UPCH. Desde ese momento he tenido fuerte interés en este tema, sin embargo, no he leído sobre este en la medida que quisiera. El fin de este blog es reunir a gente interesada en el tema, estudiantes, profesores, o cualquiera, para poder intercambiar recursos (artículos, libros, webs), opiniones personales o institucionales. Algo así como un simposio virtual.
Empiezo por mandar este link:
Harris et al, Evolutionary explanations in medical and health profession courses: are you answering your students' "why" questions?, BMC Medical Education 2005, 5:16 doi:10.1186/1472-6920-5-16
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6920/5/16
Un saludo,
Javier
