Biomedical Science & Research Journals | Doctor Armando Alonso Álvarez: A Unique and Unrepeatable Rorscharchista

First of all, I want to thank the teacher, Master of Science, Miriam González Llaneza, who invited me to evoke the memory of Dr. Armando Alonso Álvarez, (1946-2017) whose name honors this Rorschachian event par excellence.

I would like to begin my presentation with one of the anthological phrases of Professor Alonso Álvarez: «an adequate diagnosis of personality [shows] the way to offer the best alternative of help.
Armando Alonso Álvarez, Ph. D., assistant professor of the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Havana, started, from three years ago, to the infinite space to meet with the Universal Spirit; leitmotiv in the poetic-literary and journalistic work of the Apostle, an ethical reference that will guide his steps in the exercise of pre and postgraduate higher teaching, especially in the teaching of Rorschach Psychodiagnosis; discipline excluded from the curricular design of the Psychology career in the 70s of the last century and resurrected by the also honorary president of the Cuban Society of Rorschach, in the decade of the 90s of the last century.


Although the first Rorschach teacher in the capital Alma Mater, after the revolutionary triumph of January 1959, was Dr. Noemí Pérez Valdés (1926-2008), founding professor of the School (now Faculty) of Psychology, Dr. Alonso Álvarez followed in the footsteps of her venerated teacher and therefore, resumed the teaching of that method of personality research, scientifically and artistically designed by the brilliant Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach, so that such a valuable instrument would not be buried in the dark shadows of oblivion.

  Simulation Programs in Disaster Medicine Introduction The Significance Soft Abilities in the services of disaster medicine Soft skills are characterized as the individual qualities that empower a person to communicate adequately and harmoniously with others in stuff conditions and are fundamental for effective execution in any relational setting. According to Abbas [ 1 ] these properties are much more pivotal in the medical services industry of disaster medicine and not only, where therapeutic experts and representatives more nearly collaborate with patients and different human groups, as a rule under to great degree troublesome and passionate conditions. Accordingly, people work in disaster medicine issues should completely screen work possibility to guarantee they have the delicate aptitudes required to convey an outstanding level of care and administration to patients, while additionally having the capacity to effectively team up with staff individuals to boost hierarchical vi...

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | Phosphatidylethanol (PEth); the Superior Direct Alcohol Biomarker against Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) and Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin (CDT)

Phosphatidylethanol (PEth); the Superior Direct Alcohol Biomarker against Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) and Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin (CDT) Editorial As ethanol itself is metabolised and excreted quickly from the body, assessing alcohol consumption with a blood test relies on other markers indicative of consumption. Traditional tests include Liver Function Testing (LFT), Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin (CDT) Testing, and a Full Blood Count (FBC). Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) testing, on the other hand, is a direct biomarker of alcohol consumption, can only be detected when alcohol has been consumed, and is directly correlated with the level of alcohol consumed There are some difficulties when testing alcohol in blood to determine if alcohol had been abused. Due to these challenges in testing alcohol consumption behaviours across society, in the most recent decade...

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | The Effect of User Charges on the Pattern of Health Care Demand in Nigeria

  The Effect of User Charges on the Pattern of Health Care Demand in Nigeria Abstract The economic downturn in early 1980s in Nigeria led to the introduction and implementation of user charges in government health care facilities. This coupled with the persistent poverty level in Nigeria raises the question of consumers’ ability and willingness to pay these user charges. Accordingly, using primary data, this study examined the possible trade-off between user charges and demand for government health services in Nigeria. The analysis showed that increasing user fees substantially reduced the use of government health facility by low-income earners. Thus, it was recommended, among others, that government should introduce price discrimination into user fees, to be set at marginal cost. This would help avoid the adverse distribution effects of user-fees, especially, on the lower income group. Keywords:  User Charges; Demand for government health services; Willingness to pay and Heal...
