El primer Gabinete de Historia Natural de México y el reconocimiento del Noroeste novohispano

October 2009 · Estudios de Historia Novohispana

José Luis Maldonado Polo

José Longinos Martínez, fiel representante de la ciencia ilustrada metropolitana, fue uno de los naturalistas precursores en la exploración y estudio de la naturaleza americana a finales del siglo XVIII. Aunque la producción bibliográfica sobre historia natural en el siglo XVIII en el ámbito hispánico ha sido importante en estos últimos años, la carencia de estudios específicos sobre muchos de ... [Show full abstract] los protagonistas de estas "aventuras científicas" ha generado un vacío que este trabajo pretende llenar en parte. En el artículo se relatan dos episodios relevantes protagonizados por el naturalista español José Longinos Martínez, miembro sobresaliente de la Expedición Botánica de Nueva España, entre 1790 y 1794, periodo que corresponde a su trayectoria investigadora en tierras mexicanas. En primer lugar se expone su acción institucional mediante la creación del primer Gabinete de Historia Natural de México y en segundo la misión científica llevada a cabo en la exploración y estudio del medio natural de las Californias, frontera norte del virreinato.

Distribution, status and conservation needs of the white-sided jackrabbit, Lepus callotis (Lagomorph...

March 2018 · REVISTA MEXICANA DE BIODIVERSIDAD

Although an important game animal and a species of wide distribution, little is known about the natural history of the white-sided jackrabbit (Lepus callotis), its ecological requirements, and limiting factors. The information available suggests that this species may have undergone a reduction in both population numbers and distribution, and may be endangered due to habitat changes. The ...

Cell Surface Science in Medicine and Pathology

February 1986 · JAMA The Journal of the American Medical Association

Franco Quagliata

This book, by a single author, seems to go against today's widely used team effort approach in an attempt to reach the depth necessary to be informative without being superficial. And it shows. Usually a book by one author, though necessarily lacking somewhat in depth, has the advantage of a unified vision, which allows the reader to "float" easily from one chapter to the next without the need of ... [Show full abstract] readjusting to different styles of presentation. Also, the relative emphasis given to the various components is evenly distributed. Here, only the uniformity of literary style points to a single author. The title itself leaves something to be desired, since it contraposes medicine and pathology: much more appropriate might have been "Biology and Medicine (or Pathology)"—isn't pathology a part of medicine? Throughout most of the book, one has the impression of reading a series of theses more than true, up-to-date scientific reviews.

Treponema pallidum and the natural history of syphilis in Mexico. Preliminary investigation

January 1989 · Dermatologia Revista Mexicana

T. Carrada-Bravo

Syphilis is an infections systemic disease caused by Treponema pallidum, a thin, delicate spiral bacterium 6-15 μm long by 0.25 μm in diameter. By electron microscopic examination it exhibit a protoplasmic cylinder, enclosed by a multilayered covering, which in turn is covered by a 3 layered outer envelop, with axial filaments which lie between the envelop and the protoplastic cilinder. In Mexico ... [Show full abstract] accordingly to official records, since 1943 syphilis incidence and mortality showed a steady decline, the highest rate of infection ocurred between the ages of 15-44, and the second highest between 45-64, namely in the Northern States of Baja California, Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, Baja Californias Sur, Sonora, as well as Colima, Yucatan, Campeche and Mexico, D.F. The lack of recent epidemiologic and clinical studies on the prevalence of syphilis in different mexican subgroups, suggests the need to extend the research studies in order to determine the social impact and the real magnitude of syphilis.
