Aproximación a la equidad en salud en perspectiva de dignidad: notas para una bioética social by Maria Teresa Escobar López, José Antonio García Pereáñez, Fabio Aurelio Rivas Muñoz

“…Musgrove fue uno de los protagonistas en la elaboración del informe que terminó poniendo la salud abiertamente en manos del BM. Su visión de la salud era esencialmente economicista e individualista e hizo a un lado cualquier mirada a la dignidad de los seres humanos, así se trate de un término que, como el amor o la belleza, sea de difícil definición, pero de importancia fundamental para la reflexión en bioética social. …”

Development of Extrudable Hydrogels Based on Carboxymethyl Cellulose–Gelatin Complex Coacervates by Hamid Gharanjig, Hossein Najaf Zadeh, Campbell Stevens, Pram Abhayawardhana, Tim Huber, Ali Reza Nazmi

“…Rheological characterization demonstrated that all CMC–gelatin hydrogels exhibited pseudoplastic behavior, with an inverse correlation between increased coacervation and decreased shear viscosity. Additionally, the coacervates displayed lower tackiness compared to gelatin hydrogels, with the maximum tackiness normal force for various CMC–gelatin ratios ranging from 1 to 15 N, notably lower than the 29 N observed for gelatin hydrogels. …”
