[Chronic pain and persistent pain: Conceptual and clinical differences in pain terminology]
Since 2009, there has been a growing trend in English-language scientific literature toward replacing the term chronic pain with persistent pain. This semantic shift is a clear statement of reversibility and indicates the possibility of pain change. In 2022, the Tradop working group (Grup d'Abordatge Transdisciplinar del Dolor Persistent) was created within the CAMFIC Scientific Society (Catalan Society of Family and Community Medicine). Various associations of patients and family members affected by chronic pain felt challenged to learn that our group used persistent pain instead of chronic pain in courses, conferences, and publications. Given their discomfort, we initiated a collective reflection and an etymological, historical, and scientific investigation of the terms «chronic» and «persistent». This search led to the conclusion that the two terms are not equivalent and that the translation from English to Spanish has a different contextualization and applicability.

[Effects of temperature changes due to climate change on human health]
Climate change is intensifying extreme heat with serious health consequences. Heatwaves increase both mortality and morbidity, particularly affecting vulnerable groups. Heat exacerbates cardiovascular, renal, mental, and respiratory diseases, and its impact is greater in contexts of energy poverty and inadequate housing. Moreover, there are significant geographical and social inequalities: those who contribute the least to climate change are often the most affected. Adaptation can reduce heat-related mortality by up to 80% and includes physiological, cultural, technological, and policy-based measures. From Primary Health Care, strategies are proposed at individual, group, community, and political levels, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities, raising awareness, promoting healthy environments, and demanding climate justice. The approach must be comprehensive, equitable, and transformative in order to address this global health crisis effectively.
