Puesta en valor de la ínsula I del Molinete (Barrio del Foro Romano): objetivos, criterios y resultados

En las siguientes páginas se expone la última fase del proyecto museológico desarrollado en la insula I del Molinete (Cartagena, Murcia) desde que se iniciaron las excavaciones arqueológicas en 2008. Esta intervención ha supuesto la apertura al público del centro de interpretación denominado Barrio del Foro Romano , donde se integran dos edificios alusivos a la vida cotidiana del siglo I, con un singular estado de conservación

Characterization of the effect of intracorneal ring segment in corneal ectasia after laser refractive surgery

Purpose:To evaluate the visual, refractive, topographic, pachymetric, and biomechanical outcomes after intracorneal ring segment implantation in corneas with post-LASIK ectasia. Methods:Retrospective longitudinal study enrolling 26 eyes of 22 patients with post-LASIK ectasia and undergoing intracorneal ring segment implantation (KeraRing®, Mediphacos) using a 60-kHz femtosecond laser (IntraLase®, IntraLase Corp.) for corneal tunnelization. Visual, refractive, anterior, and posterior corneal topographic (Pentacam HR, Oculus), pachymetric, and corneal biomechanical changes (Ocular response Analyzer, Reichert) were evaluated during a 12-month follow-up. Vector analysis of astigmatic changes was performed. Results:A statistically significant reduction of sphere (p = 0.043) was observed at 1 month after surgery, with a significant improvement of uncorrected distance visual acuity associated (p = 0.019). Likewise, a significant reduction of anterior corneal power measurements (p ⩽ 0.014) and steepest posterior keratometric reading (p = 0.006) were observed at 1 month postoperatively, with no significant changes afterwards (p ⩾ 0.133). No significant changes were observed in manifest cylinder (p ⩾ 0.175), corrected distance visual acuity (p ⩾ 0.174), flattest posterior keratometric measurement (p ⩾ 0.282), volumetric measurements (p ⩾ 0.051), and corneal biomechanical parameters (p ⩾ 0.068). Vector analysis revealed an initial trend to overcorrection of astigmatism, with a trend to undercorrection at the end of follow-up and a significant variability in the outcome achieved in each patient. Conclusion:The implantation of KeraRing segments in post-LASIK corneal ectasia generates a significant modification of spherical refraction and a visual improvement due to a central corneal flattening generated. More refined nomograms of implantation in these cases should be developed to achieve a more predictable correction of astigmatism.Medicin

Las defensas de la Cartagena renacentista: evidencias arqueológicas recientes de las murallas de Carlos I y Felipe II

A lo largo del siglo XVI, la Monarquía hispánica convirtió Cartagena (España), ciudad inmemorial del sureste peninsular, en uno de sus principales puertos en el Me - diterráneo. La ciudad experimentó un importante crecimiento urbano que se tradujo en la ocupación de nuevas áreas que, durante los reinados de Carlos I y Felipe II, se fortificaron con sendas murallas. En este trabajo se dan a conocer las evidencias ma - teriales de estas murallas excavadas, restauradas y musealizadas en el Parque Arqueo - lógico del Molinete, cuyo estudio contribuye de manera notable al conocimiento de la ciudad renacentista y sus sistemas de fortificación en el contexto mediterráneo de la épocaDuring the 16th century, the Spanish monarchy turned the ancient city of Carta - gena (south-east Spain) into one the Crown’s main Mediterranean harbours. The city underwent a significant urban growth with the occupation of hitherto non-urbanised areas. In the reigns of Charles V and Philip II, these areas were encircled within two lines of defensive walls. The remains of these walls have been excavated, restored and prepared for display in the Archaeological Complex of Molinete, and have greatly con - tributed to increasing our understanding of the Renaissance city and its fortifications in the Mediterranean context

Museo Foro Romano. Molinete: un laboratorio para el estudio de la historia de Cartagena

En este trabajo se exponen, tras su inauguración en mayo de 2021, algunos de los caracteres del nuevo Museo Foro Romano. Molinete, concebido como museo de sitio del Parque Arqueológico del Molinete de Cartagena y su puerta de ingreso. Se plantean algunas consideraciones sobre los objetivos de la institución, su edificio, infraestructuras y ámbito de actuación de su colección y exposición permanente, así como sobre su discurso y equipamiento museográfico y los criterios y actuaciones de conservación-restauración aplicados a la colección arqueológica
