[Epilepsy and neural science. Critical review].

The nature of, and the knowledge about epilepsy, still under discussion is based upon clinical and experimental data, gathered from the last century until the present date and accepted now as scientific knowledge. The epileptic phenomenon interpreted as the outcome of a disturbance of the central regulation, of neuronal excitation and of the cerebral electric and biochemical equilibrium, is still subject of permanent study and review. From a cybernetic point of view, the epileptic fit can appear as the first expression of an abnormal organization process, or as the outcome of an electrical disturbance within a neuronal regulation circuit. This article is an attempt to review such concepts and to analyze their clinical implications.

[Bioethics and environmental health].

Institutions such as World Health Organization and United Nations have considered the necessity to establish programs to control and preserve our environment. From the beginning, industrial development has polluted the air, water and soil, in some cases irreversibly affecting the ecosystems. Rampant use of natural resources and inattention to preventive measures have promoted environmental pollution, along with its hereditary effects, producing brain damage, intoxications, cancer, and respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, among other problems. It is necessary to put aside self-serving materialism and individualism and become aware of this problem. It is necessary to implement environmental policies, foster bioethical responsibility in environmental health research, conduct epidemiologic, biomedical and toxicologic environmental health research works if we are to have a worthy life and an optimal environment.
