La muerte por la patria en el nacionalismo vasco: una indagación desde el sujeto

This paper studies the idea of the patriotic sacrifice in the Basque nationalism in the 20th century. The leading figure of Joseba Elosegi —symbol of the gudari (Basque soldier) ready to give his life for the fatherland— is taken as the focus of the account. It is under review the Basque nationalism’s sacrificial feature from Sabino Arana’s times until the Transition to Democracy. It can be concluded that the idea of patriotic sacrifice put down roots in the Basque nationalism’s imaginary very powerfully and persistently due to different factors such as the religious shape of aranist nationalism, its agonizing sense of the Basque identity, the Basque nationalism’s culture about Civil War and the transmission of the Civil War’s memory converted into a myth. In consequence, even in the last decades of the 20th century the moderate and the radical nationalism tried hard to get the gudari’s legacy, symbol of the sacrifice for the Basque fatherland.; Este artículo estudia la idea del sacrificio por la patria en el nacionalismo vasco del siglo XX. Tomando como hilo conductor de nuestro relato la figura de Joseba Elosegi, símbolo del gudari dispuesto a entregar su vida por la patria, realizamos un recorrido histórico por el componente sacrificial del nacionalismo vasco desde los tiempos de Sabino Arana hasta la Transición a la democracia. Nuestra conclusión es que la idea del sacrificio por la patria arraigó de forma muy intensa y persistente en el imaginario abertzale debido a diferentes factores como la formulación religiosa del nacionalismo aranista, su visión agónica de la identidad vasca, la específica cultura de la guerra civil del nacionalismo vasco o la trasmisión de una memoria mitificada de la experiencia bélica. Como consecuencia de ello, todavía a finales del siglo XX el nacionalismo moderado y el radical pugnaban por el legado del gudari, símbolo del sacrificio por la patria vasca

Religión y nacionalismo vasco en el siglo XX: aproximación desde el sujeto a una relación compleja

This article analyses the relationship between the religion and Basque nationalism from 1930 to 1980 through the study of a particular actor: Telesforo Monzón, a prominent politician, first in the Sabino Arana’s nationalism and later in the radical nationalism of ETA. It can be concluded that the religious element shaped the content, the discourse and the political practice of these streams of Basque nationalism. However, this close relationship between religion and Basque nationalism changed during the twentieth century. By means of the figure of Monzón the two different stages of this relationship are analysed: the age of religious nationalism until the late fifties and the new political religion of the radical nationalism around ETA since the sixties.Este artículo analiza la relación entre religión y nacionalismo vasco entre 1930 y 1980 a través del estudio de un actor concreto como fue Telesforo Monzón, político de gran protagonismo primero en el nacionalismo aranista y después en el nacionalismo radical de ETA. Nuestra conclusión es que el elemento religioso moldeó el contenido, el discurso y la práctica política de esas dos corrientes del nacionalismo vasco. Sin embargo, esa estrecha relación entre religión y nacionalismo vasco se fue transformando a lo largo del siglo XX. A través de la figura de Monzón analizamos sus dos etapas diferentes: el nacionalismo religioso hasta finales de los años cincuenta y la nueva religión política del nacionalismo radical nucleado en torno a ETA desde la década de los sesenta

The ATHAC Survey 04-05: observational study regarding the use of neuter dressings or dressings impregnated in an antibacterian agent using an innovative patented technology: the lipid colloid technology for the treatment of acute and/or chronic wounds

Introducción: El estudio ATHAC recoge datos sobre heridas agudas y crónicas que son candidatas a un tratamiento a base de apósitos grasos neutros como la gama URGOTUL. Objetivos: Describir las características de las heridas, describir los tratamiento aplicados a estas heridas y explorar las opiniones de los profesionales de enfermería y los pacientes sobre los tratamientos en términos de aplicabilidad, adaptabilidad y confort para el paciente. Material y métodos: 1.500 pacientes fueron incluidos en el estudio de acuerdo al tipo de herida y a los tratamientos en uso. Se recogieron datos a partir de dos cuestionarios: uno para el paciente y otro para la enfermera responsable de sus cuidados. Las enfermeras recogieron los datos en el primer día de inclusión y los pacientes respondían al cuestionario 1 mes más tarde o antes si la herida había cicatrizado. Las variables recogidas por la enfermera fueron: datos sociodemográficos, etiología de las lesiones, características y localización de las heridas, aspectos y opiniones sobre el tratamiento. A los pacientes se les preguntó por la duración del tratamiento, el estado de la lesión en el momento de contestar y desde su punto de vista, así como su opinión sobre el dolor, satisfacción general y aceptabilidad. Se llevaron a cabo análisis descriptivos uni y bivariados. Para cada paciente, si tenía más de una lesión, se recogieron datos de la lesión de mayor tamaño. Resultados: Finalmente, se estudiaron 1.432 pacientes con una o más lesiones (420 tenían más de una lesión). El 60,4% eran mujeres y la edad media fue de 66 ± 19 años. En el caso de las heridas crónicas (657 lesiones) predominaron las úlceras venosas (47%) y las úlceras por presión (23%). En las heridas agudas (775 lesiones), la mayoría fueron traumáticas (41%) y quemaduras (32,5%). La principal localización en todas las lesiones fueron los miembros inferiores (57,4% en heridas crónicas y 39% en agudas). El 84,4% de los casos indicó presentar algún tipo de dolor previo al comienzo de este estudio. Al finalizar el estudio, un porcentaje menor del 20% indicó presentar algún tipo de dolor. El 72% de las heridas agudas y el 35% de las crónicas, como refieren los pacientes, había cicatrizado al finalizar el estudio (en un tiempo medio de entre 20-40 días). El 54% de las heridas crónicas evoluciona favorablemente y el 26% de las agudas. Más del 80% de las heridas estudiadas fueron tratadas con la gama URGOTUL. Conclusión: URGOTUL es una buena opción para el tratamiento de este tipo de heridas, especialmente para las heridas agudas, en relación a su carácter atraumático y a su capacidad de cicatrización, así como la buena aceptación y satisfacción de los pacientes.Introduction: The ATHAC survey collected data on acute or chronic wounds that were candidates for a treatment with grassy dressings like URGOTUL. Aims: To describe the wound’s characteristics, to describe treatments applied to these wounds and to Explore Nurses’ and patients’ opinion about the treatments in terms of applicability, adaptability and patient comfort. Methods: 1,500 patients were included in the study according to wound types and treatments. Data were collected with nurses and patient questionnaires. Nurses collected data the first day of inclusion and patients respond one month after or when wounds healed. Variables collected by nurses were: demographic, aetiology, characteristics and location of the wound, aspects and opinions of the treatment. Patients were asked about duration of treatments, wound state from their point of view and opinions about pain, satisfaction and acceptability. Univariate and bivariate descriptive analysis were conducted. For each patient was selected the biggest wound for data collection. Results: Finally, 1432 patients with one or more lesions were studied (420 had more than one). 60,4% were women and the mean age was 66. Chronic wounds, mainly, were venous leg ulcer (47%) and pressure ulcers (23%). In acute wounds, were traumatic (41%) and burns (32,5%). The main location was inferior extremities (57,4% in chronic and 39% in acute). 49% of cases reported moderate to high spontaneous pain previous to this study. At the end, only 20-30% reported pain (during the study, in more than 80% the dressing used was Urgotul). 72% of acute wounds and 35% of chronic wounds, as referred by patients, were healed when finished the study (between 20-40 days of treatment). Conclusion: Urgotul is a good option for atraumatic treatment of this type of lesions, mainly for acute wounds, since more of them had healed in an acceptable time with a good patient satisfaction

Dbx1-Derived Pyramidal Neurons Are Generated Locally in the Developing Murine Neocortex

The neocortex (NCx) generates at the dorsal region of the pallium in the forebrain. Several adjacent structures also contribute with neurons to NCx. Ventral pallium (VP) is considered to generate several populations of neurons that arrive through tangential migration to the NCx. Amongst them are the Cajal-Retzius cells and some transient pyramidal neurons. However, the specific site and timing of generation, trajectory of migration and actual contribution to the pyramidal population remains elusive. Here, we investigate the spatio-temporal origin of neuronal populations from VP in an in vivo model, using a transposase mediated in utero electroporation method in embryonic mouse. From E11 to E14 cells born at the lateral corner of the neocortical neuroepithelium including the VP migrated ventro-laterally to settle all areas of the ventral telencephalon. Specifically, neurons migrated into amygdala (Ag), olfactory cortices, and claustrum (Cl). However, we found no evidence for any neurons migrating tangentially toward the NCx, regardless the antero-posterior level and developmental time of the electroporation. Our results challenge the described ventral-pallial origin of the transient pyramidal neuron population. In order to find the exact origin of cortical neurons that were previously Dbx1-fate mapped we used the promoter region of the murine Dbx1 locus to selectively target Dbx1-expressing progenitors and label their lineage. We found these progenitors in low numbers in all pallial areas, and not only in the ventral pallial ventricular zone. Our findings on the local cortical origin of the Dbx1-derived pyramidal neurons reconcile the observation of Dbx1-derived neurons in the cortex without evidence of dorsal tangential migration from VP and provide a new framework for the origin of the transient Dbx1-derived pyramidal neuron population. We conclude that these neurons are born locally within the dorsal pallial neuroepithelium.ER-A was supported by a Basque Government fellowship.

Vitamin C Deficiency Reduces Neurogenesis and Proliferation in the SVZ and Lateral Ventricle Extensions of the Young Guinea Pig Brain

Although scurvy, the severe form of vitamin C deficiency, has been almost eradicated, the prevalence of subclinical vitamin C deficiency is much higher than previously estimated and its impact on human health might not be fully understood. Vitamin C is an essential molecule, especially in the central nervous system where it performs numerous, varied and critical functions, including modulation of neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation. Although it was originally considered to occur only in the embryonic brain, it is now widely accepted that neurogenesis also takes place in the adult brain. The subventricular zone (SVZ) is the neurogenic niche where the largest number of new neurons are born; however, the effect of vitamin C deficiency on neurogenesis in this key region of the adult brain is unknown. Therefore, through BrdU labeling, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, we analyzed the proliferation and cellular composition of the SVZ and the lateral ventricle (LVE) of adult guinea pigs exposed to a vitamin-C-deficient diet for 14 and 21 days. We found that neuroblasts in the SVZ and LVE were progressively and significantly decreased as the days under vitamin C deficiency elapsed. The neuroblasts in the SVZ and LVE decreased by about 50% in animals with 21 days of deficiency; this was correlated with a reduction in BrdU positive cells in the SVZ and LVE. In addition, the reduction in neuroblasts was not restricted to a particular rostro–caudal area, but was observed throughout the LVE. We also found that vitamin C deficiency altered cellular morphology at the ultrastructural level, especially the cellular and nuclear morphology of ependymal cells of the LVE.
