EDITORIAL
The Essential
Task of Educating
Dr. Esteban Calcagni
President of SAPCV
2025
Through the joint
efforts of the Editorial Committee of the AAOT Journal and the Executive Board
of the SAPCV 2025, we would like to express our gratitude for the opportunity
to present an issue exclusively dedicated to spinal
pathology in such a prestigious scientific publication.
As one of
the final activities of the academic year, and marking the conclusion of the
Biannual Course of the Sociedad Argentina de Patología de la Columna Vertebral
(Argentine Society of Spinal Pathology),
its director, Dr. Pedro Bazán, proposed the development of a module devoted
exclusively to Scientific Activity, with the aim of fostering awareness of the
need for improvement in this area. Within this framework, the following topics
were addressed in depth: spinal research and research methodology, taught by
Dr. Lidia Loterzo, one of the editors of this journal; a lecture on spinal
research in Argentina, delivered by Prof. Dr. Aníbal
Sarotto and Dr. Bersusky, highlighting the importance of publishing and clearly
outlining the direct benefits and the academic standing that publication
confers on scientific societies such as ours.
One of the
main goals of our working group is to encourage all
members of our Society to engage in the publication of scientific work derived
from their daily clinical practice with patients. As particularly encouraging
news related to the benefits of publishing, we are pleased to announce the
release of the book Columna, Conceptos
Actuales. Although this represents a different format for presenting
scientific work, we wish to share this achievement of the SAPCV with our
readers. The authors are members of the teaching staff of the Biannual Course.
Once
again, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for this exclusive
issue of the AAOT Journal and to its Executive Editor, Dr. Ernesto Bersusky.
