The Papal Conclave: The Oldest Electoral System in the World
Dr. Marco V. Benavides Sánchez. The election of a new pope is one of the most solemn and mysterious events in the modern world. Shrouded in ritual and secrecy, the papal conclave—from the Latin cum clave, meaning “with a key“—has been used for centuries to select the Bishop of Rome, spiritual leader of the world’s…

Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. “The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches… They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports… It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor. A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar… In intensive…

Rewriting the Power of Life: The Science and Promise of Mitochondrial Transplantation
By Dr. Marco Vinicio Benavides Sánchez. Imagine a future where failing cells are revitalized not through synthetic drugs, but by borrowing components from healthier cells—tiny engines of life transplanted with surgical precision. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the rapidly advancing frontier of organelle transplantation, and at the center of this revolution lies a structure you…

This is how it all started…
Artificial intelligence (AI) began as a field of study at the Dartmouth conference in 1956, where a group of scientists, including John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell, and Herbert A. Simon, proposed that “every aspect of learning or any other characteristic of intelligence can, in principle, be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.” This meeting was instrumental in establishing the foundations and goals of AI, defining the field as an academic discipline and laying the groundwork for decades of research. Since then, AI has evolved from simple theories and models to complex systems capable of performing tasks that, until recently, were considered exclusive to the human intellect.
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the fields of medicine, surgery, and biomedical sciences in extraordinary and diverse ways. In medicine, AI systems are improving diagnosis and personalizing treatment by analyzing large volumes of medical data and complex patterns beyond human capabilities, enabling more precise and efficient medicine. In surgery, AI-assisted robots are enabling more accurate, less invasive procedures with faster recovery times. Additionally, in biomedical sciences, AI is accelerating the research and development of new drugs by modeling biochemical simulations and predicting compound efficacy with unprecedented speed and accuracy. This impact of AI is not only transforming clinical and surgical methods, but also improving patient outcomes and optimizing resources in healthcare systems around the world.
