Vejez y soledad: implicancias a partir de la construcción de la noción de riesgo
(Centro Interdisciplinario de Estudios en Bioética, Universidad de Chile, 2015)
El envejecimiento de la población supone desafíos particulares en la búsqueda de bienestar de las personas mayores. La soledad es un fenómeno de creciente relevancia en la investigación y las políticas públicas relacionadas con vejez y...
Population aging implies specific challenging when looking for the wellbeing of elderly. Loneliness is an issue of increase relevance in research and public policies related to old age and aging, due to its relation to a life stage associated to social losses and is influence in the mental health of the elderly. This essay tries to reflect about loneliness in old age from different rationalities of the concept, as category of cultural and epidemiological classification and the implication it may have in the definition of public policies and strategies to approach the issue. The relation to a rationality of loneliness built from the culture of risk and damage subjectivity is emphasized over the medicalization of the issue as disorder or epidemiological risk factor. Finally, the consideration of building cultural stages to rationalize loneliness in old age is proposed and considerations to measure and approach the issue in the rational framework of cultural epidemiology are discussed....

Características histológicas de la piel de la cara volar del pulgar en individuos chilenos con desvanecimiento del dactilograma
(Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, 2017)
un rol protagónico en la identificación humana. No se han descrito los cambios que ocurren en la cara volar de pulgar debido al
proceso de envejecimiento. Es por esta razón que el objetivo del presente trabajo fue evidenciar los cambios en la...
Characteristically the skin of hands and feet shows a particular morphological design called dactylogram. This pattern is typically on the thick skin of the digits, the palm of the hands and the soles of the feet, and its properties have a leading role in human identification. The changes that take place on the volar side of the thumb due to the aging process have not yet been described. It is for this reason that the objective of the present work is to show the variation of the biostructure on the skin of the volar side of the first digit of the right hand in elderly individuals. For this research, skin samples of the right thumb from elderly Chilean subjects of both sexes were used. These samples underwent histological studies with H&E, Mallory's trichrome, Sirio of Junqueira Red, PAS Reaction and Orcein staining. The observation and records were made with Zeiss Axiostar Plus Microscope, a Canon PowerShot A 640 camera, and Image Tool 3.0 software UTHSCSA, 2002. The results showed significant changes on the epidermis thickness, in the basement membrane morphology, in the shape and quantity of blood vessels, the distribution and arrangement pattern of the collagen and elastic fibers, and in the increase of tactile corpuscles. These changes confirm the existence of significant histological changes due to the aging process, which could be decisive in the gradual fading of the morphological characteristics of the dactylogram, making it difficult to observe, demonstrate and record the dactylogram on individuals of advanced age which reduces the possibility of identification of those individuals, leading to possible medical-legal consequences....
