And yet, this “disgust” of a century has also provided repeated evidence that, even in the most extreme situations, groups of people have somehow managed to articulate their collective agencies, often in the form of resistance, and even generated counterpowers from below (De León, 2015; Moore, 1993; Scott, 1985; Wolf, 1973).Peer reviewe

Asentamentos fortificados no interior da Gallaecia en época tardoimperial e sueva (séc. IV-VI): Un achegamento a partir de varios casos de estudo

Neste artigo presentamos os principais resultado dos traballos arqueolóxicos realizados nunha serie de asentamentos fortificados situados no sueste da Galiza. Estes, coñecidos na historiografía, levaban tempo, porén, requirindo unha revisión arqueolóxica en profundidade debido á fragmentación dos dados sobre eles. Esta incluíu unha caracterización morfolóxica do sitio e unha análise da materialidade depositada nos museos de referencia. Mentres que a realidade da aparición dunha paisaxe fortificada na época pos-romana en lugares tan próximos como o Val do Douro, por exemplo, é algo asumido, para a historiografía galega esta realidade é algo descoñecido ou excluído. Ao longo deste texto pretendemos profundar no coñecemento existente arredor desta paisaxe fortificada para a Gallaecia, reformulando algunhas das principais hipóteses historiográficas para este período.We present in this paper the main result of the archaeological works carried out on a cluster of fortified settlements located in the southeastern part of Galiza. These sites, well-known by historiography, required a deep archaeological revision, due to the fragmentation of data. This revision included a morphological characterization of each site and an analyses of the archaeological record located in the different museums. While the appearance of a fortified settlement in post-Roman times is something accepted in close territories such as the Duero valley, for the Gallician historiography is unknown or even excluded. Through this paper we will tackle with the available data of these fortified settlement for Gallaecia, drawing up some of the main hypothesis for this period

Lymphovascular Space Invasion in Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer (LySEC): Patterns of Recurrence and Predictors. A Multicentre Retrospective Cohort Study of the Spain Gynecologic Oncology Group

In patients with early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer, the presence of lymph vascular space involvement (LVSI) correlates with nodal metastases, shorter disease-free survival and overall survival. However, the effect of LVSI on recurrence patterns of these patients has been poorly studied, and the optimal adjuvant treatment remains unclear. Additionally, positive LVSI is indicative for nodal assessment, however, this parameter is usually not Known until a final pathology report. The main aim of our study was to analyze oncological outcomes and patterns of recurrence of these patients according to LVSI status, as well as to determine preoperative predictors of positive LVSI. We confirmed in a large multi-institutional cohort of patients (3546 participants), that positive LVSI is an independent prognostic factor for distant recurrences (HR 2.37) but not for local recurrence. In addition, deep myometrial invasion, high-grade tumors, cervical stroma invasion, and tumor diameter ≥ 2 cm are independent predictors of positive LVSI.The main aim is to compare oncological outcomes and patterns of recurrence of patients with early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer according to lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) status. The secondary objective is to determine preoperative predictors of LVSI. We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study. A total of 3546 women diagnosed with postoperative early-stage (FIGO I-II, 2009) endometrioid endometrial cancer were included. Co-primary endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and pattern of recurrence. Cox proportional hazard models were used for time-to-event analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistical regression models were employed. Positive LVSI was identified in 528 patients (14.6%) and was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (HR 1.8), OS (HR 2.1) and distant recurrences (HR 2.37). Distant recurrences were more frequent in patients with positive LVSI (78.2% vs. 61.3%, p < 0.01). Deep myometrial invasion (OR 3.04), high-grade tumors (OR 2.54), cervical stroma invasion (OR 2.01), and tumor diameter ≥ 2 cm (OR 2.03) were independent predictors of LVSI. In conclusion, in these patients, LVSI is an independent risk factor for shorter DFS and OS, and distant recurrence, but not for local recurrence. Deep myometrial invasion, cervical stroma invasion, high-grade tumors, and a tumor diameter ≥ 2 cm are independent predictors of LVSI.Depto. de Salud Pública y Materno - InfantilFac. de MedicinaTRUEpubDescuento UC

Endometriosis: alternative methods of medical treatment.

Journal Article;Endometriosis is an inflammatory estrogen-dependent disease defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at extrauterine sites. The main purpose of endometriosis management is alleviating pain associated to the disease. This can be achieved surgically or medically, although in most women a combination of both treatments is required. Long-term medical treatment is usually needed in most women. Unfortunately, in most cases, pain symptoms recur between 6 months and 12 months once treatment is stopped. The authors conducted a literature search for English original articles, related to new medical treatments of endometriosis in humans, including articles published in PubMed, Medline, and the Cochrane Library. Keywords included "endometriosis" matched with "medical treatment", "new treatment", "GnRH antagonists", "Aromatase inhibitors", "selective progesterone receptor modulators", "anti-TNF α", and "anti-angiogenic factors". Hormonal treatments currently available are effective in the relief of pain associated to endometriosis. Among new hormonal drugs, association to aromatase inhibitors could be effective in the treatment of women who do not respond to conventional therapies. GnRH antagonists are expected to be as effective as GnRH agonists, but with easier administration (oral). There is a need to find effective treatments that do not block the ovarian function. For this purpose, antiangiogenic factors could be important components of endometriosis therapy in the future. Upcoming researches and controlled clinical trials should focus on these drugs.Ye
