Abstract
En 2011, retomé mi relación con la Hidrología médica y tras conversar con los profesores Maraver y Armijo decidí realizar la presente memoria para optar al título de doctor. Escogí el Balneario Vichy Catalán por ser uno de los más famosos de Catalunya y por su cercanía con mi domicilio habitual. Mi sueño es conseguir que desde el sistema público de salud se tuviera más en cuenta la riqueza hidromineral de Catalunya para la mejora de la salud de la población y que se llegase a un acuerdo entre la propiedad balnearia y la sanidad pública para aprovechar mejor este recurso. Objetivos Para la elaboración de la presente Memoria nos hemos propuesto los siguientes objetivos: 1. Recoger el material existente sobre el Balneario Vichy Catalán desde el punto de vista histórico y ordenarlo adecuadamente. 2. Estudiar el balneario Vichy Catalán desde el punto de vista de la Hidrología médica, a través del conocimiento de sus manantiales, del establecimiento, de las aplicaciones terapéuticas de las aguas y de los médicos que han ejercido su profesión en dicho balneario. 3. Realizar un estudio comparativo de los análisis existentes hasta la fecha, para constatar la constancia de la composición de las aguas y representar gráficamente los resultados analíticos. 4. Estudiar, atendiendo los resultados alcanzados, las acciones de estas aguas sobre el organismo, determinando sus indicaciones y contraindicaciones desde el punto de vista terapéutico...
In 2011 I rekindled my relationship with Medical Hydrology, and after conversing with professors Maraver and Armijo I decided to write the present dissertation for purposes of obtaining a doctorate degree. I selected the Vichy Catalan Thermal Spa (the “Thermal Spa”) for being a famous Catalan landmark thermal spa and for its proximity to my home residence. My dream is that the public health system would embrace the Catalan hydro-mineral richness to improve civilians’ health and to come into an agreement between the thermal spas’ proprietorship and the public healthcare system to better utilize this resource. Objectives 1. To collect existent historical Vichy Catalán Balneary (the “Thermal Spa”) materials and data, and to classify such data and materials accordingly. 2. From a Hydrology Medical perspective, to study the Thermal Spa through the knowledge of its springs, its facilities, its therapeutic water applications and the Thermal Spa’s medical staff. 3. To perform a comparative study of existing current analysis and data to corroborate the steadiness of water composition and to graphically portray analytic results. 4. In accordance with the attained results and from a therapeutic perspective, to study the effects and side effects of water applications over the organism. 5. To study the attendance development in Caldes de Malavella and in particular in the Thermal Spa. 6. To describe the multiple crenotherapy techniques used throughout the history of the Thermal Spa...
