Q

Typical steps of comparison in radiology

A
  1. Get a medical or dental X-ray taken before the person died.
    1. Take a new X-ray of the unidentified remains, using the same angle and size as the first one.
    1. Compare the two X-rays by looking at them side by side or by placing one over the other to see if they match.

Q

Steps Identification by written records include

A

(1)identification of the pattern, injury, pathology, or anomaly

(2) obtaining antemortem medical or dental charts and/or notes on the suspected deceased

4) 3) comparing the record to features of the skeletal remains, looking for consistencies and inconsistencies.

Experimentos
Segunda Guerra Mundial (1940-1945) Caso Willowbrook, NY (1950-1970): experimento con niños-retraso mental, se les infectó con hepatitis. Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital (1963): ancianos con demencia infectados con células cancerígenas Tuskegee (1932-1972): población hombre negra infectadas con sífilis
44
Código de Núremberg (1947):
El consentimiento del participante debe ser totalmente voluntario. El experimento debe beneficiar a la sociedad. Debe basarse en pruebas previas con animales y en conocimientos médicos. Se deben evitar sufrimientos y daños innecesarios. No debe realizarse si hay riesgos evidentes de muerte o daño grave. El riesgo debe estar justificado por la importancia del problema. Se deben tomar medidas para proteger al participante. Solo personal capacitado debe realizar el experimento. El participante puede abandonar el experimento cuando quiera. El científico debe detener el experimento si hay peligro para el participante
45
Informe de Belmont (1974):
En 1974 se creó una comisión en EE. UU. para proteger a las personas que participan en investigaciones médicas y psicológicas. Su tarea fue definir principios éticos y crear reglas para asegurar que las investigaciones con seres humanos se hagan de forma correcta.
46
Etica
Concepto genérico que toma en consideración distintas formas de examinar y entender la vida moral.
47
Etica Normativa
Son las que generan preguntas vinculadas a cuales normas conducen o evaluan la conducta, cuales deben ser aceptadas y porque
48
Teorias que analizan la etica normativa
Utilitarismo y consecuencialismo: Teoría kantiana teoría de los derechos teoría de la virtud
49
etica no normativa
Descriptiva: Estudia cómo las personas piensan y actúan moralmente, usando métodos científicos. Analiza decisiones, tratamientos y consentimiento informado. Metaética: Examina el lenguaje y los conceptos morales, como derechos, deberes, virtudes y responsabilidad.
50
Principios morales (Beauchamp y Childress, 2013)
1. Autonomía: Respetar las decisiones libres e informadas de cada persona. 2. No maleficencia: No causar daño ("primero, no hacer daño"). 3. Beneficencia: Hacer el bien, ayudar y proteger a los demás. Incluye prevenir daños, defender derechos y ayudar a quienes lo necesitan. 4. Justicia: Buscar una distribución justa e igualitaria de beneficios y responsabilidades en la sociedad.
51

* a. Proteger y defender los derechos de los otros. * b. Prevenir el daño hacia otros. * c. Eliminar condiciones que generen daño a los otros. * d. Ayudar a las personas con discapacidad. * e. Rescatar a las personas en peligro.
52
Integridad científica (Macrina, 2004)
La mala conducta en la investigación Fabricación: Inventar datos o resultados y presentarlos como reales. Falsificación: Manipular materiales, procesos o datos para alterar los resultados. Plagio: Usar ideas, palabras o resultados de otra persona sin dar crédito.
53
Imperativo de Jonas:
Positivo: “Actúa de tal modo que los efectos de tu acción sean compatibles con la permanencia de una vida humana auténtica”. Negativo: “No pongas en peligro la continuidad indefinida de la humanidad en la Tierra.
