Abstract:

Puerto Rico became an American colony in 1898, achieving self-rule after the Great Depression. The standard view is that Puerto Rican living standards stagnated before the policy changes of the New Deal and it has lost ground on the mainland since the early 1970s. I show these claims are mistaken. Using a new GDP index for 1900 to 1940, I show that income per capita grew at impressive rates during direct American rule and Puerto Rico escaped the worst ravages of the Great Depression. In addition, I find the recent growth slowdown is partly a statistical artifact.

Abstract:

Abstract Between 1993 and 2000, the Government of Puerto Rico decided to transform the role of the government from a provider of healthcare to an insurer. Despite claims about the success of the reform, no study has assessed whether it improved the health of the population or reduced mortality. The aim of this study is to assess whether the implementation of the Puerto Rico Healthcare Reform of 1993 reduced mortality and infant mortality in Puerto Rico in a significant way.

The scholarship on the history of Protestant missions to Puerto Rico after the Spanish American War of 1898 emphasizes the Americanizing tendencies of the missionaries in the construction of the new Puerto Rican. There is no doubt that the main missionary motif during the 1890s was indeed civilization. Even though the Americanizing motif was part of the evangelistic efforts of some missionaries, new evidence shows that a minority of missionaries, among them Presbyterians James A.

Abstract:

Introduction Medical and psychological literature finds that empathy is crucial in the doctor-patient relationship, and that in the last 30-years there has been a decrease among college students, particularly medical students. After the passing of Hurricane María in Puerto Rico, many medical professionals migrated, leaving the island with fewer specialists to teach the remaining medical community. This is the first such study conducted with medical students in Puerto Rico. It examines the perception of empathy from the medical student perspective amidst the particular historical context of a n

Abstract:

The aim of the SmoCar (Smoking in the Caribbean) study was to estimate the prevalence of smoking and the disparities in the smoking practices of three regions in the Caribbean: Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. The secondary objective was to assess the prevalence and severity of gingivitis in relation to the smoking practices. The study population comprised 1,847 (weighted N = 1,830) individuals (18 years and older) who were volunteer participants from the capitals of Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. A structured interview was used to assess the participants’ smoking b

Abstract:

A new peppermint shrimp species, Lysmata jundalini sp. nov., is described based on five specimens collected in shallowsubtidal waters on Enrique Reef at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Isla, Magueyes Laboratories. Lysmata jund-alini sp. nov. was identified from fresh material collected at the reef crest and back reef among coral rubble in June 2005and April 2009. The new species is most closely related to the Atlantic Lysmata intermedia and eastern Pacific L. holthu-isi. It can be readily distinguished from all those in the genus Lysmata by its color pattern, the presence of a well dev

Caddisflies are abundant, diverse, and important insects in freshwater ecosystems. However our knowledge on their life history is incomplete, in particular for the Neotropics. The objectives of this study were to describe the life history and phenology of Phylloicus pulchrus in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. Eggs and larvae were reared to determine the species lifespan and time in each instar. Larval instars were determined based on a head width vs. pronotal suture length correlation (N= 120). Larvae and benthic leaf litter were sampled monthly at a headwater stream for a year;

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has increasingly become a popular option for many Americans. A 2007 study showed that a majority of Americans used at least one form of CAM during that year. In response, many states opted to license practices that had previously been unlicensed, such as acupuncture, massage therapy and naturopathy. In addition, some states passed legislation to regulate and discipline unlicensed CAM practitioners. Minnesota spearheaded these efforts in 1999 by passing a law that set guidelines and standards for unlicensed health care practitioners, while p

Abstract Background Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is the most common single-gene disorder in Puerto Rico. It is characterized by an aberrant biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles inducing oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding diathesis, and damage to other organs. Around 30% of patients with HPS develop granulomatous enterocolitis, a Crohn’s-like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The mutant HPS1 gene is associated with a more severe Early Onset IBD (EO-IBD). We wish to describe a group of patients with HPS-associated IBD. Methods Puerto Ricans with HPS a
