Introduction: Domiciliary hospitalization (DH) is defined as the group of treatments and healthcare carried out in the patient's home, but of complexity, intensity and duration comparable to those received by a patient in a conventional hospital.
Objective: The aim of this article is to divulge, in the neurological world, the possibility of attendance by DH.
Development: A DH would act as a supporting term for the acute hospital, as a supporting team for Primary Care, and in some cases as a unit for assessment and placing patients in their best 'therapeutic setting' as required by any community health organization. In this paper we consider the professionals who make up the structure of DH, the criteria for admission to the Unit, the system for admission and the types of illness which may be attended in these units. With regard to the latter, we briefly analyse the neurological illnesses in the DH setting: cerebrovascular disease, meningitis and multiple sclerosis. Finally, we present data regarding the 13 units working in the Comunidad Valenciana.
Conclusion: The basic mission of the DH is to improve the quality of assistance, and by means of specialist support enable the biggest possible number of persons who need and wish to remain or return home as soon as possible to do so.

Anthropic activities such as industries, agriculture and mining has generated public concern for its numerous irregular disposals of its waste, the incorrect deposition of heavy metals such as nickel (Ni) has caused the degradation and contamination of groundwater and water. Studies that point out cheap and efficient solutions have been an obstacle to the advancement of solutions for degraded area recovery programs. For this, a vegetable home experiment was developed, with an entirely randomized design with 5 treatments being a control (no metal) and 4 nickel concentrations (200 μM/L; 400 μM/L; 600 μM/L and 800 μM/L) with 6 repetitions.

Background: Trauma is a major global public health issue, with an annual death toll of approximately 5 million, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries. Zambia bears a significant burden of trauma-related mortalities, contributing to 7% of all annual deaths and 1 in 5 premature deaths in the country. Despite the significant burden of trauma in our country, few studies have been conducted, with most focusing on high-population centers, and there is a lack of epidemiological data on trauma-related deaths in our region.
