This article traces a map of the social control of drugs through the politics of space, according to the Foucaultian concept of "heterotopia." Firstly, a brief genealogy of the use of psychotropic substances in different times and cultures is described, up to the introduction of the prohibitionist paradigm. Attention is paid to the way in which power has marked, separated and enclosed certain rituals and uses of pleasure in physical and symbolic sites. The itinerary is focused on the Spanish context to establish a dialogue between the various policies of space that have come into being and have overlapped in the construction and management of a problem which has been rendered an object to the gazes, mechanics and discourses of the medical, legal, and social fields. In this way, the intersections between the liminal spaces of drug use and the harm reduction paradigm are analyzed, including therapeutic strategies with prescribed drugs, from methadone programs to the new heroin programs ; Este artículo traza un mapa del control social de las drogas a partir de las políticas del espacio, de acuerdo al concepto de foucaultiano de heterotopía. En primer lugar, se describe una breve genealogía de los usos de sustancias psicotrópicas en los diversos tiempos y culturas hasta la llegada del paradigma prohibicionista, atendiendo al modo en que el poder ha señalado, separado y encerrado determinados rituales y usos del placer en emplazamientos físicos y simbólicos. Este itinerario se centra en el contexto español para establecer un diálogo entre las distintas políticas del espacio que se han sucedido y superpuesto en la construcción y gestión de un problema que deviene objeto de la mirada, la mecánica y los discursos médicos, jurídicos y sociales. Así, se analizan las intersecciones de los emplazamientos liminares de consumo con el paradigma de la reducción de daños, así como las estrategias terapéuticas con prescripción farmacológica, desde los programas de metadona hasta los más recientes de heroína.

Transient or acoustic radiation force elastography (ARFE) is becoming the most extended technology to assess cervical effacement, additionally to the Bishop test and conventional ultrasound. However, a debate on the fetal safety has been opened due to the high intensity focused beam emitted to produce shear waves. This work is aimed at providing preliminary data to assess clinical effects of fetal exposure. A follow-up study in newborns of 42 women exposed to ARFE during pregnancy was carried out to explore neonatal hypoacusia, Apgar test, and anthropometry. No hypoacusia cases attributable to ARFE were observed. The Apgar test at five minutes scored normally in all the newborns. Comparisons between anthropometric measurements showed no significant statistically differences. The results preclude to state the harmfulness nor the safety of ARFE. However, given the concern on the high level of energy and the potential risk of harmful bioeffects, larger studies are recommended. ; Ministry of Education DPI2017-85359-R UNGR15-CE-3664 PI16/00339 ; Carlos III Feder fund ; Junta de Andalucía PIN-0030-2017 PI-0107-2017 ; Spanish Government TEC2014-57394-P ; MNat Scientific Unit of Excellence UCE.PP2017.03
