Writing Polomology in Rome

A classical statement by Giuffrè points out that "the army as the mainfoundation of Roman Empire is beyond discussion". This centrality of the army and the military dimension in ancient Roman world was also perceived by the Romans themselves and a good proof of it can be found in the written reflections about the res militaris, mostof times with prevalence of practical matters, but without omitting some remarkable theoretical aspects. The continuous cultivation of this subject-matter gave form to a proper literary subgenre with its own tradition within Latin technical literature. This literary tradition is underservedly unknown and has received few attention from scholars. Therefore, the aim of these paper is to provide a complete diachronic profile of Latin polemography and anoutline of its main features.Una formulación ya clásica de Giuffrè afirma que "el ejército como fundamento principal del Imperio romano es un dato fuera de discusión". Esta centralidad del ejército y de la dimensión militar también fue percibida como tal por los propios Romanos y prueba de ello fue la reflexión por escrito acerca de la res militaris, unas veces —las más— de tenor más práctico, otras más teórico. El continuo cultivo de esta materia constituyó un auténtico género literario con su propia tradición dentro de la literatura técnica. En lo sustancialesta tradición es poco conocida en sus detalles y apenas se ha ofrecido un cuadro panorámico y diacrónico de ella. Este el objeto de estas páginas, ofrecer un recorrido por los diferentes puntos que conforman la tradición polemográfica latina con una descripciónde sus características más notables

Notas filológicas a la Ratio solis uel lunae cursus atque bissexti

The Ratio solis uel lunae cursus atque bissexti is a short computistical text transmitted by three of the manuscripts containing the so-called Praefatio Sancti Cyrilli Alexandrini episcopi de ratione Paschae (CPL 2290). This paper proposes some emendations and critical remarks in order to improve the text of the recent edition by Mosshammer

Biomonitoring of common organophosphate metabolites in hair and urine of children from an agricultural community

Levels of dialkylphosphate (DAP) metabolites were measured in hair and urine of children that lived close to intensively farmed areas of Almeria (Southeast Spain). The levels were used as proxies for exposure of these children to organophosphate pesticides (OPs). Determinants of exposure to DAPs were also examined. Urine and hair samples were collected from 222 children aged 3–11 years and information on lifestyle and dietary habits was collected from questionnaires administered to mothers. Urinary DAPs were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid-chromatography coupled to triple-quadrupole tandem mass-spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) and hair DAPs by gas-chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Detection rates ranged from 21.8% for diethylphosphate (DEP) and diethylthiophosphate (DETP) to 35.9% for dimethylphosphate (DMP) in urine; and from 42.3% for DETP to 92.8% for DMP in hair. Diethyldithiophosphate (DEDTP) was detected in 0.5% of urine samples (one child), and in 26.6% of children's hair samples. A lack of correlation was observed for individual DAP metabolites and ΣDAPs between urine and hair samples, except for DEDTP. Urinary DAP levels of our child population were lower than those reported for children from other countries, including NHANES 1999–2000 data.This study was partially funded by the Ministry of Economy, Innovation, Science and Employment, Government of Andalucia (reference number P08-CTS-04313, FEDER funds)

Evolving trends in the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19 waves. The ACIE appy II study

Background: In 2020, ACIE Appy study showed that COVID-19 pandemic heavily affected the management of patients with acute appendicitis (AA) worldwide, with an increased rate of non-operative management (NOM) strategies and a trend toward open surgery due to concern of virus transmission by laparoscopy and controversial recommendations on this issue. The aim of this study was to survey again the same group of surgeons to assess if any difference in management attitudes of AA had occurred in the later stages of the outbreak. Methods: From August 15 to September 30, 2021, an online questionnaire was sent to all 709 participants of the ACIE Appy study. The questionnaire included questions on personal protective equipment (PPE), local policies and screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection, NOM, surgical approach and disease presentations in 2021. The results were compared with the results from the previous study. Results: A total of 476 answers were collected (response rate 67.1%). Screening policies were significatively improved with most patients screened regardless of symptoms (89.5% vs. 37.4%) with PCR and antigenic test as the preferred test (74.1% vs. 26.3%). More patients tested positive before surgery and commercial systems were the preferred ones to filter smoke plumes during laparoscopy. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was the first option in the treatment of AA, with a declined use of NOM. Conclusion: Management of AA has improved in the last waves of pandemic. Increased evidence regarding SARS-COV-2 infection along with a timely healthcare systems response has been translated into tailored attitudes and a better care for patients with AA worldwide

Global disparities in surgeons’ workloads, academic engagement and rest periods: the on-calL shIft fOr geNEral SurgeonS (LIONESS) study

: The workload of general surgeons is multifaceted, encompassing not only surgical procedures but also a myriad of other responsibilities. From April to May 2023, we conducted a CHERRIES-compliant internet-based survey analyzing clinical practice, academic engagement, and post-on-call rest. The questionnaire featured six sections with 35 questions. Statistical analysis used Chi-square tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression (SPSS® v. 28). The survey received a total of 1.046 responses (65.4%). Over 78.0% of responders came from Europe, 65.1% came from a general surgery unit; 92.8% of European and 87.5% of North American respondents were involved in research, compared to 71.7% in Africa. Europe led in publishing research studies (6.6 ± 8.6 yearly). Teaching involvement was high in North America (100%) and Africa (91.7%). Surgeons reported an average of 6.7 ± 4.9 on-call shifts per month, with European and North American surgeons experiencing 6.5 ± 4.9 and 7.8 ± 4.1 on-calls monthly, respectively. African surgeons had the highest on-call frequency (8.7 ± 6.1). Post-on-call, only 35.1% of respondents received a day off. Europeans were most likely (40%) to have a day off, while African surgeons were least likely (6.7%). On the adjusted multivariable analysis HDI (Human Development Index) (aOR 1.993) hospital capacity > 400 beds (aOR 2.423), working in a specialty surgery unit (aOR 2.087), and making the on-call in-house (aOR 5.446), significantly predicted the likelihood of having a day off after an on-call shift. Our study revealed critical insights into the disparities in workload, access to research, and professional opportunities for surgeons across different continents, underscored by the HDI
