In this special issue to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Uruguayan Society for Neuroscience (SNU), we find it pertinent to highlight that research on glial cells in Uruguay began almost alongside the history of SNU and contributed to the understanding of neuron-glia interactions within the international scientific community. Glial cells, particularly astrocytes, traditionally regarded as supportive components in the central nervous system (CNS), undergo notable morphological and functional alterations in response to neuronal damage, a phenomenon referred to as glial reactivity. Among the myriad functions of astrocytes, metabolic support holds significant relevance for neuronal function, given the high energy demand of the nervous system.

ConspectusPhotochemical reactions have always been the source of a great deal of mystery. While classified as a type of chemical reaction, no doubts are allowed that the general tenets of ground-state chemistry do not directly apply to photochemical reactions. For a typical chemical reaction, understanding the critical points of the ground-state potential (free) energy surface and embedding them in a thermodynamics framework is often enough to infer reaction yields or characteristic time scales.

Background: There is an under-reporting of anaesthesia-related safety events. Incident-capturing systems (ICSs) are essential for patient safety monitoring, identifying risks and ongoing opportunities for improvement. After a literature review and assessment of our current ICSs, we concluded that our institution lacked a reliable anaesthesia-specific ICS system, leading to under-reporting of anaesthesia-related safety events.

In 2024, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Willem Einthoven receiving the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the mechanism of the electrocardiogram (ECG). Building on Einthoven's legacy, electrocardiography allows the monitoring of cardiac bioelectricity through solutions to the so-called forward and inverse problems. These solutions link local cardiac electrical signals with the morphology of the ECG, offering a reversible connection between the heart's electrical activity and its representation on the body surface.

This article critically examines the Housing First model within the broader context of neoliberal policies impacting homelessness, particularly at the intersection of mental illness, poverty, and addiction. While Housing First is celebrated for its effectiveness in providing immediate housing to chronically homeless individuals, this model's alignment with neoliberal principles prioritizes cost effectiveness and visible outcomes over comprehensive care. As a harm reduction approach, Housing First often overlooks the underlying mental health and addiction issues that maintain homelessness, resulting in a cycle of dependency rather than long-term recovery.
