Los espejos de vidrio con marco en plomo de la época romana. A propósito de un ejemplar procedente de Sagunto

Síntesis de los espejos de vidrio con marco de plomo de época romana, donde se analiza de forma concisa sus características técnicas y decorativas, talleres, así como sus posibles usos y funcionalidades. Se trata de un tipo de objeto muy extendido por casi todo el territorio romano, pero prácticamente desconocido en Hispania. Seguidamente se acomete el estudio de un marco en plomo hallado en los niveles romanos durante las excavaciones efectuadas en las proximidades de la plaza de la Morería en Sagunto, incluyendo, además, otras piezas similares hispanas procedentes de excavaciones antiguas.A synthesis of lead-framed glass mirrors from Roman times, in which the technical and decorative characteristics, as well as their uses and functions, are concisely analysed. It is a type of object which was widely used throughout almost all Roman territories, but which was virtually unknown in Hispania. Then follows the study of a lead frame discovered at Roman levels during excavations carried out near the Plaza de la Morería in Sagunto, including other similar Hispanic pieces from previous excavations

Expressions pariétales à la fin de la Préhistorie dans le Languedoc

Les cavités naturelles, fréquentées régulièrement dès la fin du Paléolithique, sont utilisées de façon récurrente à la fin du Néolithique dans le sud de la France. Leur utilisation répond à des pratiques socio-économiques concordantes aux nécessités de la vie quotidienne. L’exploration spéléologique, préalable indispensable à ces exploitations, a souvent laissé des indices sur les parois. Cet article porte sur l’étude des différents types de traces charbonneuses observées sur les parois, qu’elles soient liées à l’éclairage ou à une volonté de représentations graphiques.El uso de cavidades naturales en el sur de Francia está documentado de manera recurrente desde el final del Neolítico. Su utilización está asociada a prácticas socio-económicas que responden a necesidades de la vida cotidiana. La exploración espeleológica, imprescindible a esas explotaciones, ha dejado muchos indicios en las paredes. Este artículo estudia los diferentes tipos de trazas carbonosas observadas en las paredes, asociadas a la iluminación o a una voluntad de representaciones gráficas.Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, Direction Régionale des Affaires Culturelles Languedoc-Roussillon

Una necrópolis ibérica de finales del siglo VI aC en el Camí de Vinamargo (Castelló de la Plana)

Durante las obras de encauzamiento del Barranco de Fraga (Castelló de la Plana), se localizaron los restos de una necrópolis ibérica en la zona denominada Vinamargo V- Orfens. A lo largo de los trabajos se documentaron tres urnas de incineración dispuestas en el mismo loculus, además de un ustrinum situado a escasos metros y una serie de estructuras negativas en disposición triangular, de difícil interpretación, que encuadra este espacio de cementerio. En el presente trabajo presentamos el estudio de las urnas y del ajuar metálico que las acompañaba y que nos indican una cronología de finales del siglo VI aC. En otro artículo presentaremos el estudio antropológico de los restos de las incineraciones.During the channeling works of the Barranco de Fraga (Castelló de la Plana), we located the remains of an Iberian Necropolis in the area called Vinamargo V-Orfens. Throughout the works, three incineration urns arranged in the same loculus were documented, in addition to a ustrinum located a few meters away and a series of negative structures in a triangular distribution that frames this cemetery space, very difficult to interpret. In the present work we present the study of the urns and the metallic trousseau that accompanied them and that indicate a chronology or the end of the 6th century. In another article we will present the anthropological study of the remains of the incinerations

Dynamics of Ebola RNA Persistence in Semen: A Report From the Postebogui Cohort in Guinea

International audienceThis study modeled the presence of Ebola virus RNA in the semen of male Ebola survivors participating in the Postebogui study in Guinea. The median time of reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction negativity was 46.4 days after symptom onset (95% confidence interval, 11-82.6). The results emphasize the importance of the World Health Organization recommendations for survivors' management

Multidisciplinary assessment of post-Ebola sequelae in Guinea (Postebogui): an observational cohort study

International audienceBACKGROUND:The high number of survivors from the 2013-16 west African outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) has raised several new issues: long-term clinical complications, psychosocial consequences, risks of EVD reactivation, and secondary transmission due to viral persistence in body fluids. We aimed to assess long-term clinical, psychosocial, and viral outcomes in EVD survivors in Guinea.METHODS:In this multidisciplinary observational cohort study, we recruited patients aged 1 year or more in four sites in Guinea (Donka National Hospital, Conakry; Macenta Prefectoral Hospital, Macenta; N'zérékoré Regional Hospital, N'zérékoré; and Forécariah Prefectoral Hospital, Forécariah) following discharge from any Ebola treatment centre in Guinea. Eligible patients had had laboratory-confirmed EVD and had then been declared clear of the virus in the blood. All consenting patients were included, with no exclusion criteria. Trained clinicians assessed patients at enrolment to the cohort, recording clinical symptoms and signs of depression. We did routine blood examinations and examined viral persistence in body fluids using RT-PCR. We did psychological evaluations using questionnaires developed for different age groups. Follow-up is planned to 2 years, and here we present findings at enrolment.FINDINGS:Between March 23, 2015, and July 11, 2016, we recruited 802 patients, of whom 360 (45%) were male, 442 (55%) were female; 158 (20%) were younger than 18 years. The median age was 28·4 years (range 1·0-79·9, IQR 19·4-39·8). The median delay after discharge was 350 days (IQR 223-491). The most frequent symptoms were general symptoms (324 [40%] patients), musculoskeletal pain (303 [38%]), headache (278 [35%]), depression (124 [17%] of 713 responses), abdominal pain (178 [22%]), and ocular disorders (142 [18%]). More adults than children had at least one clinical symptom (505 [78%] vs 101 [64%], p<0·0003), ocular complications (124 [19%] vs 18 [11%], p=0·0200), or musculoskeletal symptoms (274 [43%] vs 29 [18%], p<0·0001). A positive RT-PCR in semen was found in ten (5%) of 188 men, at a maximum of 548 days after disease onset. 204 (26%) of 793 patients reported stigmatisation. Ocular complications were more frequent at enrolment than at discharge (142 [18%] vs 61 [8%] patients).INTERPRETATION:Post-EVD symptoms can remain long after recovery and long-term viral persistence in semen is confirmed. The results justify calls for regular check-ups of survivors at least 18 months after recovery
