Paleography and the Document

Reading old Spanish records located at the archives and in various libraries in the Philippines is not the same as reading maybe an old letter or newspaper written in Spanish. Aside from having to familiarize oneself with a new set of words, one would have to adjust to such things as understanding and knowing the parts of a document during a certain period, old handwriting, unfamiliar abbreviations, misspelled words, ink blotches, and torn pages.

Using tools such as paleography to identify terminologies, abbreviations, and writing styles that will be used throughout the Hispanic world from the 16th until the 19th century, researchers are faced with the primary problem of knowing to read, write, and understand Spanish especially as there is no specific and unified form of writing. The objective of this presentation is to explain the background of old Spanish records and to aid potential researchers interested in this particular period of the country’s history with an opportunity to extract vital information from these records.

This lecture will be held online on 09 June 2023 at 14.00 UTC+8. The event is free and open to all, however pre-registration is required to manage the capacity of the Zoom meeting. Register to the event at https://bit.ly/IAW2023UPSLIS

Webinar #149
Robotic Surgery: The Future in the Palm of Our Hands

Robotic surgery has revolutionized the field of healthcare, enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision, dexterity, and minimal invasiveness. As the Philippines continues to embrace technological advancements in medicine, this webinar aims to shed light on the applications, benefits, and future prospects of robotic surgery in the country.

The Philippine General Hospital is one of the hospitals in the country that uses “robotic surgery”, also called robot-assisted surgery. It is a type of surgery that allows many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is often associated with minimally invasive surgery — procedures performed through tiny incisions for faster healing.

In robotic surgery, the robot does not “think” on its own. The surgeon controls the arms while seated at a computer console near the operating table. The console gives the surgeon a high-definition, magnified, 3-D view of the surgical site. The surgeon leads other team members who assist during the operation. To operate using the Robotic system, the surgeon makes tiny incisions in your body and inserts miniaturized instruments and a high-definition three-dimensional camera, and sometimes, skin incisions are not required at all.

In this webinar, renowned experts in robotic surgery will share their valuable insights, experiences, and clinical outcomes achieved through robotic-assisted procedures. The speakers will discuss the various subspecialties where robotic surgery has made significant strides, including urology, general surgery, etc. In addition, the webinar will delve into the advantages of robotic surgery, focusing on the benefits for patients, surgeons, and healthcare institutions. The speakers will highlight the improved precision, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times associated with robotic-assisted procedures. They will also address the economic implications of adopting robotic surgery, including cost-effectiveness analyses and potential long-term savings.

To learn more about robotic surgery, along with its many uses, benefits and risks, join us and the PGH Department of Surgery in this STOP COVID DEATHS webinar with Dr. Nikko J. Magsanoc, who is the Chair of Robotic Surgery; Dr. Sylvia Karina L. Alip, who is the Robotic Surgery Coordinator; Dr. Dennis P. Serrano, who previously served as Chief of two divisions (Division of Urology and Division of Transplant Surgery); and Dr. Hermogenes J. Monroy III, who is the former chief of the Division of Colorectal Surgery. The Opening Remarks will be given by PGH Director Gap Legaspi while the Synthesis and Closing Remarks will be delivered by the Head of the PGH Office of Expanded Education and Training, Dr. Stella Marie L. Jose.

Ultimately, this webinar aims to ignite a stimulating discussion, foster collaboration, and inspire healthcare professionals in the Philippines to embrace the transformative power of robotic surgery. Together, we can forge a path towards enhanced patient outcomes, improved surgical techniques, and a brighter future for surgical care in the Philippines.

Together, we can STOP C.O.V.I.D. DEATHS!

“Sa Tooth-too Lang, Ano Nga Ba Ang Hospital Dentistry?”

As the world grappled with the pandemic’s relentless grip, dentistry faced unprecedented challenges. Yet, dentists rose as unwavering guardians of oral health. Amidst uncertainty, they adapted and persevered, ensuring the continuation of vital dental care. From implementing stringent infection control measures to modifying treatment protocols, dentistry emerged resiliently to provide a safe haven for patients.

Hospital dentistry, in particular, played a pivotal role in this battle. As an integral part of healthcare systems, hospitals offered comprehensive dental services to cater to diverse needs. Urgent treatments for severe dental pain, facial trauma, and life-threatening infections were promptly delivered, prioritizing patient well-being. Simultaneously, hospitals embraced a spectrum of procedures, including oral surgeries, dental implants, and complex restorations, serving as beacons of hope and healing.

Looking ahead, the training of future dentists shall witness an exciting metamorphosis. The pandemic has propelled innovation and adaptation in dental education. Blending traditional methodologies with cutting-edge technology, dental training programs are poised for a transformative shift. Virtual platforms and simulation techniques will facilitate immersive learning experiences, fostering technical proficiency and critical thinking. These novel approaches, enriched by collaborative networks and mentorship, will equip future dentists with the skills and resilience needed to thrive in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.

In this episode of STOP COVID DEATHS, we will delve into the remarkable journey of dentistry during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, explore the range of dental services and procedures available at hospitals, and illuminate the transformative path of training future dentists. Our speakers will be Dr. Roland P. Alvañez, who is the Assistant Coordinator for Training at the PGH Department of Hospital Dentistry and he will be joined by Dr. Julianne Eris N. Navarro, who is the Assistant Coordinator for Service from the same department. Our reactor will be their Department Chair, Dr. Maria Cristina L. Estrada. The Synthesis and Closing Remarks will be delivered by the Head of the PGH Office of Expanded Education and Training, Dr. Stella Marie L. Jose.

Embark on this enlightening webinar, where renowned experts will share their insights and experiences. Discover the remarkable achievements of hospital dentistry amidst the pandemic, explore the diverse range of dental services available, and gain a glimpse into the future of dental education. Let us all embrace the challenges, celebrate the triumphs, and forge a path towards a brighter, more resilient future in hospital dentistry.

Together, we can STOP C.O.V.I.D. DEATHS!
