Una reflexión acerca de las publicaciones científicas by Luis Alberto Corona Martínez, Mercedes Fonseca Hernández

“…Dos documentos, uno relacionado con la situación actual de las publicaciones en Cuba, y otro que presenta la estrategia ministerial para elevar la calidad de las revistas biomédicas, han dado origen a esta reflexión. Se plantean, como ideas esenciales que complementan a las ya identificadas en la estrategia ministerial, la necesidad de mejorar cuantitativa y cualitativamente la producción científica en el campo de la salud y en particular en la base del sistema, dado el estrecho nexo publicación-investigación; así como la importancia de fomentar en los profesionales médicos las competencias para una adecuada escritura.…”

Two Cases of Cartilaginous Choristoma—Not Chondroma of the Bony External Auditory Canal by Kohei Yamahara, Yuki Katsura, Yuki Egawa, Kana Lee, Satoshi Ikegami

“…To diagnose a mass as cartilaginous choristoma on the bony external auditory canal, it is necessary to confirm that it does not originate from the underlying periosteum. Here, we present the cases of two patients with typical cartilaginous masses on the bony external auditory canal, in which the surgical findings showed that the masses were not in contact with the underlying periosteum, indicating that cartilaginous choristoma—not chondroma—is an appropriate diagnosis for these mass lesions. …”
