Simetría y configuración espacial de la ritualidad inka: el Complejo 19 de El Shincal de Quimivil como caso de estudio. Catamarca-Argentina

Se presenta una nueva interpretación sobre el Complejo 19 de El Shincal de Quimivil, Catamarca, Argentina. Este espacio fue definido previamente como una estructura con fines militares, por lo que se le atribuyó la identificación funcional de Atalaya. Nuevos estudios y recientes excavaciones, por el contrario, dan cuenta que otros tipos de prácticas se desarrollaron en este espacio, identificándoselo ahora como un edificio de carácter sagrado donde se realizaron ritos y ofrendas, muy probablemente relacionados con el culto al agua y la práctica oracular. Esto se evidencia en el tallado realizado sobre la roca madre de la lomada donde se emplaza el Complejo 19. Se han descubierto huecos y micro-canales, para la conducción de líquidos, tallados sobre la superficie granítica. La configuración arquitectónica de los dos recintos que se ubican en dirección norte y sur refleja la noción de dualidad y complementariedad, que recordaría el concepto de Yannatin andino.This paper presents a new interpretation of complex 19 at El Shincal de Quimivil in Catamarca, Argentina. This space has previously been identified as a military structure, which was attributed the designation of watchtower. Recent studies and excavations to the contrary make it clear that other activities took place in this facility. It is now identified as a space with sacred characteristics in which rites were carried out and offerings were made, probably as part as of a water cult with oracular characteristics. This is evidenced by the carvings sculpted in the bedrock of the mountain slope where complex 19 is situated. Depressions and microchannels have been found sculpted on the granite surface, which would have served to run liquids through. The architectural configuration of the structures which are found on the north and south sides reflect a notion of duality and complementarity which evokes the Andean notion of Yanatin (complementary opposites).Fil: Corrado, Gustavo.

Efficacy and long-term follow-up of positional therapy by vibrotactile neck-based device in the management of positional OSA

Study Objectives: Different therapeutic strategies have been investigated for the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea, but more evidence is needed about efficacy and compliance. The objective of this study was to describe the efficacy of vibrotactile neck-based treatment in patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea with different degrees of obstructive sleep apnea severity who were followed for 6 months.Methods: This is a retrospective study including 162 patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea undergoing vibrotactile neck-based positional therapy. We compared polysomnographic data obtained at baseline and during positional therapy after 1 month. We performed a subgroup analysis based on obstructive sleep apnea severity. Furthermore, we analyzed follow-up data in 84/162 (51.8%) patients with particular focus on discontinuation and complications related to the device.Results: We observed a significant difference between mean baseline obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI; 21.9 +/- 9.9 events/h) and during positional therapy (12 +/- 9.2 events/h; P< .01). Moreover, 87/162 (54.9%) patients showed a reduced baseline OAHI of at least 50% and 38/162 (23.4%) achieved complete disease control (OAHI < 5 events/h). At subgroup analysis, at least 50% reduction from baseline OAHI was observed in 56.8% of patients with mild, 55% with moderate, and 47.4% with severe OAHI, whereas complete control of disease was achieved in 50% of patients with mild, 22.5% with moderate, and 7.9% with severe OAHI. At a 6-month follow-up, only 35/84 patients (41.6%) were regularly using the device, with a mean of 5.9 +/- 1.2 days per week. Conclusions: Our results on the efficacy and long-term adherence to vibrotactile neck-based positional therapy showed that positional therapy can be an efficient first-line treatment option for mild positional obstructive sleep apnea and in selected cases of moderate disease. Long-term compliance is limited because of complications and low satisfaction in some patients.Conclusions: Our results on the efficacy and long-term adherence to vibrotactile neck-based positional therapy showed that positional therapy can be an efficient first-line treatment option for mild positional obstructive sleep apnea and in selected cases of moderate disease.
