Acute gastroenteritis is one of the most common diseases, affecting children worldwide. Viruses are recognized as a major cause of this disease, particularly in children. Since the Norwalk virus was identified as a cause of gastroenteritis, the number of viral agents associated with diarrheal disease in humans has progressively increased. Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea in children under 5 years of age. Human astroviruses, caliciviruses and enteric adenovirus are also important etiologic agents of acute gastroenteritis. Other viruses such as toroviruses, coronaviruses, picobirnaviruses, Aichi virus and human bocavirus are increasingly being identified as causative agents of diarrhea. Vaccination against rotavirus could prevent cases of severe diarrhea and reduce the mortality attributable to this disease.
La neuroética aplicada y fundamental y el transhumanismo neurotecnológico son disciplinas académicas relativamente nuevas, a medio camino entre las humanidades y las neurociencias. En el presente estudio se ha realizado un análisis descriptivo sobre el interés del certamen de los premios Óscar por obras que han tratado estas temáticas a lo largo del siglo XXI. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el 16,8 % de las 107 películas estudiadas muestran personajes u ofrecen temáticas relacionadas con la neurociencia, la neurología, las ciencias cognitivas y de la computación, todas ellas áreas científicas de vanguardia que tendrán un importante impacto biomédico y social en los próximos años
