A Checklist of Works Attributed to Charles de Marescot

The musical output of Charles de Marescot (1790–1842) has never been subjected to close examination. Only a few of his compositions are featured in guitar scholarship, notably his Méthode de guitare, op. 15, and the collection of pieces entitled La Guitaromanie, op. 46. And yet Marescot was rather prolific in his time. This checklist offers, for the first time, a catalogue—albeit incomplete—of all his guitar music published in France and England, offering, if possible, locations and dates for each work

The Guitarist behind \u3ci\u3eLa Guitaromanie\u3c/i\u3e : Charles de Marescot

The guitarist Charles de Marescot is a figure often cited when referring to the guitar mania that arose in France during the first decades of the nineteenth century. Yet very little is known about his life and musical production, which was dedicated almost entirely to the guitar. Drawing on several newly discovered documents, this article aims to understand the role of this polemical figure in the vogue for the guitar by reconstructing his whereabouts. Particular attention is given to his relationship with Hector Berlioz, with whom he conducted some minor business

Unraveling the \u3ci\u3eDiscussion entre les Carulistes et les Molinistes\u3c/i\u3e (Paris, 1828)

In 1828, the French guitarist Charles de Marescot published a small booklet called La Guitaromanie, a collection of pieces for the guitar. It includes a caricature, entitled Discussion entre les Carulistes et les Molinistes, in which two opposing bands of guitarists are engaged in a fierce fight. Although, several scholars have proposed a variety of possible motives for such a shocking image, this issue has never been subjected to close examination. The article analyses the veracity of the known theories, making for the first time a comparative study between the method books of both Ferdinando Carulli and Francesco Molino, in a search for answers to the famous querelle. Correction Page 16. “Like many other experiments with musical instruments at that time, the décacorde appears not to have become successful, and apart from the Méthode op. 293, Carulli never published any music for it.” Carulli wrote one more work for the décacorde, around four years later: his opus 297, c. 1830, Deux Rondeaux, un divertissement et un theme varié.

Infrared spectroscopic analysis of the inorganic components from teeth exposed to psychotherapeutic drugs

Teeth are unique and complex anatomical organs that can provide relevant data about a person's health, and play an important role in forensic medicine. Teeth are exposed to food, drinks, and the microbiota of the oral cavity; therefore, they have developed a high resistance to localized demineralization. Nevertheless, the continuous demineralization–remineralization cycle present in the oral environment can be influenced by stress, medication, mineralization agents, and other factors such as individual habits, especially diet. In this study, based on attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) spectra from tooth samples of 36 patients, several parameters were estimated: the crystallinity index (CI), the phosphate/amide I ratio, and the carbonate/phosphate ratio. In addition, in eight representative samples (six of the root of the tooth and two of the enamel area of the crown), additional characterization by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was conducted. From the FTIR data, it was observed that the highest CI values were found in patients who smoked. Further, in both root and crown samples, the intensity of the absorption band corresponding to PO43- increased in patients undergoing treatment with psychotherapeutic drugs. On the other hand, the intensity of the absorption band of the amide I group decreased with medical treatment and with the patient's biological age. Moreover, it was found that the remineralization process was more active in enamel than in the root due to direct contact with saliva. Regarding the results obtained from the X-ray powder diffractograms, exposure to psychotherapeutic drugs affected the definition of the peaks corresponding to hydroxyapatite, both in the crown and root samples. Concerning SEM results, qualitative differences in the stratification process in demineralized surfaces were observed, and EDS analyses showed some differences in the Ca/P ratio between pathological samples and control ones, but without clear patterns. The above techniques, in particular ATR-FTIR, showed promise for the investigation of the effect of changes produced in the hydroxyapatite structure in teeth and, consequently, to determine possible strategies in the diagnostic protocol

Eficacia del gel vaginal de coriolus versicolor en mujeres con lesiones cervicales asociadas al virus del papiloma humano. El estudio Paloma

Objetivo: el objetivo del estudio fue determinar la eficacia de un gel vaginal con Coriolus versicolor, Papilocare®, en la reparación de las lesiones cervicales de bajo grado causada por el virus del papiloma humano (VPH). Material y métodos: estudio multicéntrico, abierto, aleatorizado y controlado que implicó 91 mujeres positivas en VPH con alteraciones de bajo grado en citología cervical y colposcopia concordante. Resultados: el porcentaje de mujeres con citología normal y colposcopia concordante después de tres y seis meses de tratamiento con el gel fue significativamente mayor (78,0% y 84,9%) que en el grupo control (54,8% y 64,5%), principalmente en pacientes con VPH de alto riesgo (79,5% y 87,8% frente a 52,0% y 56,0%). A los seis meses, el aclaramiento de VPH fue mayor en pacientes que recibieron tratamiento respecto a las que no lo recibieron (59,6% frente a 41,9%), especialmente en las de alto riesgo (62,5% frente a 40,0%). En comparación con basal, el estrés percibido por las pacientes se redujo en el grupo de tratamiento (de 21,1 a 19,0), mientras que se incrementó en el grupo control (de 17,7 a 20,7). Se describieron siete posibles/probables efectos adversos relacionados con el tratamiento; la mayoría de severidad leve o moderada. Conclusión: el tratamiento con el gel vaginal con Coriolus versicolor ha demostrado un mayor beneficio clínico que la conducta clínica habitual, espera vigilante, tanto en la muestra total como en el subgrupo de alto riesgo, respecto a su eficacia para el tratamiento de las lesiones cervicales de bajo grado y el aclaramiento de las cepas de VPH después de seis meses de tratamiento. El gel vaginal ha presentado además un perfil de seguridad y tolerabilidad alto y ha conferido adicionalmente una importante mejora de la reepitelización cervical, una reducción del estrés percibido y una alta adherencia terapéutica.2021-2

‘THE FAMOUS VIDAL’: NEW LIGHT ON THE LIFE AND WORKS OF A GUITARIST IN LATE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE

International audienceABSTRACT During the second half of the eighteenth century the Spanish guitar reached a level of popularity in France not equalled elsewhere. Among the various composers who contributed to the vogue for the instrument in this country, sources of the period refer to a certain Mr Vidal, a guitarist of Spanish origins who was regarded as one of the most important masters of the guitar in Europe. Despite multiple references to his musical activities no extensive study has yet been made, which leaves this figure only partially studied. In order to address this lacuna, this article reconstructs the life of this guitarist, placing his music in the environment in which he lived in order to obtain a clearer picture of the situation of the guitar and the role of Vidal as a composer, guitarist, publisher and teacher
