Las vidrieras del taller zaragozano La Veneciana en Castilla y León. Sus obras en Salamanca y Zamora

La fábrica de vidrieras La Veneciana fue la más importante de Zaragoza a principios del siglo XX. Naturalmente hay amplia muestra de su trabajo en la capital aragonesa pero su éxito y la calidad de sus obras permitieron una gran difusión. A pesar de ello, aún son bastante desconocidos los vitrales que realizaron en otras ciudades y regiones españolas, entre ellas Castilla y León. Con este artículo se pretende ofrecer una primera aproximación a los que hallamos en esa comunidad, iniciando su estudio con las encargadas para Salamanca y Zamora. La razón de esta elección es su número y su variedad estilística y temátic

City Planning and Architecture Studies in the XIX and XX Centuries, from the Optics of Art History. Methdological Issues and Approach to the Sources

Before completing a doctoral dissertation on 19th and 20th century architecture and city planning from the standpoint of Art History, the specific characteristics of these fields concretely in these chronological periods determine the appearance of a seriesof points in the debate. The first is the diverse nature of the aforementioned disciplines;the second the freedom that characterized the architecture of the period; and the third, which is also one of its virtues, the breadth and heterogeneity of the sources. In this way, as a first objective of my personal experience, I bring to the young researchers some succinct brush strokes in a way of guiding them through the current gauntlet of documentation and, in the second place, I endeavour to shed light on the problems in methodology that come up, just as solutions, without wanting to impose general or specific conclusions, intending rather to enhance the debate.Ante la realización de una tesis doctoral sobre la arquitectura y el urbanismo de los siglos XIX y XX desde la perspectiva de la Historia del Arte, las particulares características de estos campos en ese período cronológico concreto determinan la aparición de una serie de puntos objeto de debate.

Treatment with tocilizumab or corticosteroids for COVID-19 patients with hyperinflammatory state: a multicentre cohort study (SAM-COVID-19)

Objectives: The objective of this study was to estimate the association between tocilizumab or corticosteroids and the risk of intubation or death in patients with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) with a hyperinflammatory state according to clinical and laboratory parameters. Methods: A cohort study was performed in 60 Spanish hospitals including 778 patients with COVID-19 and clinical and laboratory data indicative of a hyperinflammatory state. Treatment was mainly with tocilizumab, an intermediate-high dose of corticosteroids (IHDC), a pulse dose of corticosteroids (PDC), combination therapy, or no treatment. Primary outcome was intubation or death; follow-up was 21 days. Propensity score-adjusted estimations using Cox regression (logistic regression if needed) were calculated. Propensity scores were used as confounders, matching variables and for the inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTWs). Results: In all, 88, 117, 78 and 151 patients treated with tocilizumab, IHDC, PDC, and combination therapy, respectively, were compared with 344 untreated patients. The primary endpoint occurred in 10 (11.4%), 27 (23.1%), 12 (15.4%), 40 (25.6%) and 69 (21.1%), respectively. The IPTW-based hazard ratios (odds ratio for combination therapy) for the primary endpoint were 0.32 (95%CI 0.22-0.47; p < 0.001) for tocilizumab, 0.82 (0.71-1.30; p 0.82) for IHDC, 0.61 (0.43-0.86; p 0.006) for PDC, and 1.17 (0.86-1.58; p 0.30) for combination therapy. Other applications of the propensity score provided similar results, but were not significant for PDC. Tocilizumab was also associated with lower hazard of death alone in IPTW analysis (0.07; 0.02-0.17; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Tocilizumab might be useful in COVID-19 patients with a hyperinflammatory state and should be prioritized for randomized trials in this situatio

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Francesc Ferriol, an art nouveau architect between Barcelona and Zamora.

Francesc Ferriol i Carreras (1871-1946, titulat el 1894) va ser un arquitecte modernista català absolutament desconegut fins ara. Fins i tot abans de finalitzar els seus estudis d’una arquitectura a Barcelona, va començar a treballar amb Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Poc després va iniciar la seva carrera professional amb projectes de gran qualitat que van evolucionar des d’un estil més contingut fins a assolir un perfecte domini del llenguatge modernista. El 1908 es va traslladar a Zamora, ciutat on va ocupar el càrrec d’arquitecte municipal durant vuit anys. La seva presencia en aquesta localitat és de gran importància perquè va suposar una gran innovació, va obligar els seus col·legues a buscar composicions més atractives per als promotors i va donar al municipi castellàlleonès un patrimoni modernista de primer nivell.Francesc Ferriol i Carreras (1871-1946, graduated in 1894) was an architect of the Catalan modernista school who had remained completely unknown until now. Even before finishing his architectural studies in Barcelona, Ferriol had begun to work with Lluís Domènech I Montaner. Soon after, he began his professional career, designing highly regarded buildings whose style gradually evolved from the mundane to become the perfect expression of the Art Nouveau style. In 1908 he moved to Zamora, where for eight years he worked as the town's chief architect. His presence in the city was of great importance as it brought about tremendous innovation and forced his colleagues to consider more attractive designs, which endowed Zamora with the distinguished modernista heritage we see today
