Interdisciplinary research project on the Abbey of S. Croce at Sassovivo in Foligno, Italy

The research project on the Abbey of S. Croce at Sassovivo in Foligno (Italy) started in 2012, based on the studies of Giovanni Carbonara and Lia Barelli from Sapienza University of Rome. The aim of the project was to investigate the abbey complex to understand the different construction phases of the buildings. In particular, the study was focused on the material aspects through the stratigraphic reading of the structures and the analysis of building materials. In this case, the extensive archival documentation is not detailed enough to reconstruct the history of the building phases. Thanks to the particular characteristics of the abbey and the multidisciplinary method of the research, this project has involved an increasing number of Italian and foreign professionals. Following the identification of the size and extension of the medi- eval church, the first archaeological excavation campaign started in 2014. It was carried out by the Postgraduate School in Architectural and Land- scape Heritage of Sapienza University of Rome and supported by the Associazione degli Amici dell’Ab- bazia di Sassovivo (Association of the Friends of Sassovivo Abbey). The first results exceeded expec- tations, revealing a much more complex situation, and new archaeological campaigns were planned (2015-2016-2017). During these investigations, we had the collaboration of the Department of Cultural Catholic Heritage of the Pontifical Gregorian Uni- versity, Department of Physics and Geology of the University of Perugia, the Department of Biologi- cal Anthropology of the Eötvös Loránd University of Budapest and the Department of Anthropology of the Museum of Natural History of Budapest

Radiolabelled cytokines for imaging chronic inflammation

Diagnosis and particularly follow-up of chronic inflammatory disorders could be often difficult in clinical practice. Indeed, traditional radiological techniques reveal only structural tissue alterations and are not able to monitor functional changes occurring in tissues affected by chronic inflammation. The continuous advances in the knowledge of the pathophysioloy of chronic disorders, combined with the progress of radiochemistry, led to the development of new specific radiolabelled agents for the imaging of chronic diseases. In this scenario, cytokines, due to their pivotal role in such diseases, represent good candidates as radiopharmaceuticals

Physiologie de l’absorption alimentaire: diversion biliopancréatique. Mise à jour à propos de 3000 interventions

A propos of a series of 3,000 procedures, 162 of which were performed laparoscopically, the author presents the advantages and drawbacks of biliopancreatic bypass (DBP). DBP allows an over 70% initial excess weight loss, both in obese and superobese patients ; the weight loss remains constant and above all it is long lasting (25 years). In fact, DBP has a favourable effect on glucose metabolism, with 98% of cases of diabetes cured at 10 years ; it lowers serum cholesterol lastingly and increases HDL cholesterol. DBP also regulates blood pressure in 80% of cases at 10 years. DBP could represent the most powerful treatment against hyperlipidemia and type II diabetes mellitus. Anaemia, bone demineralisation, gastric ulcer and peripheral neuropathy are easily controlled ; the major problem is that of protein malnutrition (MP) both in its early episodic form and recurring form. In "ad hoc DBP " the author tailors the procedure to patient characteristics, namely gastric volume and length of feeding loop. In his last 300 operated patients, his results at 10 years are 1% of recurring MP leading to 1% reoperations, with a 71% permanent loss of initial excess weight. KEYWORDS: Obesity, Biliopancreatic bypass (DBP), Metabolic syndrome, Type II diabetes, HyperlipidemiaL'auteur à propos d'une série de 3 000 interventions, dont 162 réalisées par voie coelioscopique, présente les avantages et les inconvénients de la diversion bilio-pancréatique (DBP). La DBP assure une réduction de plus de 70% de l'excès pondéral initial, tant chez les obèses que chez les superobèses ; cette perte de poids est constante et surtout se maintient à très long terme (25 ans). La DBP a un effet très favorable sur le métabolisme du glucose, avec 98% de guérison du diabète à 10 ans ; elle réduit à long terme le cholestérol sérique avec augmentation du HDL cholestérol. Elle normalise la tension artérielle dans 80% des cas à 10 ans. Elle constituerait ainsi le traitement le plus puissant de l'hyperlipidémie et du diabète sucré type II. L'anémie, la déminéralisation osseuse, l'ulcère gastrique et la neuropathie périphérique peuvent être contrôlés aisément ; le problème le plus important est celui de la malnutrition protéique (MP), qu'il s'agisse de la forme épisodique précoce ou de la forme récurrente. L'auteur, en adaptant aux caractéristiques du patient dans la "DBP ad hoc" le volume gastrique d'une part, et la longueur de l'anse alimentaire d'autre part, obtient à 10 ans chez les 300 derniers opérés, 1% de MP récurrente entraînant 1% de réinterventions, avec une réduction permanente de 71% de l'excès de poids initial.

Transições juvenis em mães jovens: um estudo sobre a importância da rede de cuidados em Avellaneda

The present work deals with the youth transitions of young mothers, mediated by a state device such as municipal kindergartens, which open possibilities for them in terms of trajectory. The results of a study carried out through interviews with directors of municipal gardens and young mothers who attend them are presented, through a qualitative methodology that combined virtual and face-to-face interviews. The information collected was processed considering the most important variables of the survey. From its analysis, the main results are presented. The article also reviews the current situation of the initial level, showing the inequality in access to this level by the most vulnerable sectors, describes the network of kindergartens in Avellaneda and presents a theoretical framework for the analysis of the interviews. mentioned. Finally, it offers final comments to continue the theoretical discussions.El presente trabajo aborda las transiciones juveniles de jóvenes madres, mediadas por un dispositivo estatal como son los jardines maternales municipales, que abren posibilidades para las mismas en términos de trayectoria.

Trayectorias educativas de jóvenes madres en barrios marginalizados: el lugar de los soportes familiares e institucionales

After the COVID-19 pandemic, inequalities seem to have been exacerbated, so the debate on inequalities takes on new relevance. In the case of women, it meant an intensified burden of the unpaid care work they usually carry out. This article addresses the youth trajectories of women from low-income sector in a particular historical context. Their educational trajectories and the institutional and family supports they rely on are analyzed. The results of a qualitative research carried out in 2021 with mothers between 20 and 29 years of age living in marginalized neighborhoods of the Municipality of Avellaneda are presented. The life stories of the young women are presented and, at the end, some reflections are sketched in order to continue the reflection on the future inaugurated by the pandemic. The conclusions point out the relevance of the expansion of public care systems that constitute development environments for children while contributing to recover autonomy, availability of time and space for young mothers.Luego de la pandemia por el COVID-19 las desigualdades parecen haberse exacerbado, por lo que el debate sobre las mismas cobra nueva relevancia. Para el caso específico de las mujeres, supuso una intensificada carga del trabajo de cuidados no remunerado que usualmente llevan adelante. En el presente artículo, se abordan las trayectorias juveniles de mujeres de sectores populares en este contexto histórico particular, analizando de manera específica sus trayectorias educativas y los soportes institucionales y familiares de los que se valen. Con ese objetivo se presentan los resultados de una investigación de corte cualitativo llevada a cabo en 2021 con jóvenes madres de entre 20 y 29 años que habitan en barrios marginalizados del Municipio de Avellaneda. Se presentan las historias de vida de las jóvenes y, sobre el final, se esbozan algunas reflexiones que permiten continuar la reflexión sobre el futuro inaugurado por la pandemia. Estructura las conclusiones la relevancia de la ampliación de sistemas públicos de cuidado que se constituyan en entornos de desarrollo para los/as niños/as al tiempo que contribuyan a recuperar autonomía, disponibilidad de tiempo y espacio para las madres jóvenes
