El impacto de la âromanizaciĂłnâ en los territorios de la Provincia Tarraconensis a travĂŠs de la arqueologĂa funeraria. Una primera aproximaciĂłn
El objetivo de este artiĚculo es evaluar el proceso de aculturacioĚn que se produjo en los territorios de la Provincia Tarraconensis, con motivo de la llegada de los romanos, a partir del anaĚlisis de la evidencia material en el aĚmbito funerario.Las estructuras ideoloĚgicas, estudiadas a traveĚs de la cultura material, nos permiten evaluar este proceso de cambio, ya que las creencias y los ritos que de ellas se desprenden dejan huella en el registro arqueoloĚgico. Para este trabajo, hemos tenido en cuenta la heterogeneidad cultural de estos territorios (por lo que hemos dividido el aĚrea objeto de estudio en tres aĚmbitos geograĚficos principales); asiĚ como las propias transformaciones de la metroĚpoli durante este periodo de tiempo, distinguiendo, en el desarrollo de este proceso, tres fases principales
Mors Immatura in the Roman world: Provincia Tarraconensis
El objetivo de este artĂculo es, a partir de los casos constatados en la Provincia Tarraconensis, analizar los distintos comportamientos y rituales que se desarrollaban, en el mundo romano, con motivo de la muerte de los infantes. CĂłmo la edad de estos estaba definida en una serie de categorĂas (aquellos que nacieron muertos o murieron en el parto, los infantes e, incluso, los jĂłvenes fallecidos antes del matrimonio y a las mujeres fallecidas durante el parto) y por quĂŠ, a causa de su estatus inferior producto de su muerte inmadura, sus funerales seguĂan unas directrices distintas a las del resto de la poblaciĂłn.The purpose of this paper is to examine, from the cases confirmed in the Provincia Tarraconensis, the different behaviour and rituals which were developed in connection with the premature death in the Roman World. How a series of categories were defined by the age of death (stillborns, perinatal death and infants, including youths deceased before marriage and women who died in childbirth) which determine from the burialâs ritual to the mourning. And why, because of their lower status, generated by the immature dead, their funeral followed different guidelines from the rest of the people
Un tipo especial de funus acerbum y de ajuar funerario como reflejo de la condiciĂłn social del difunto. Los casos documentados en Hispania
En el presente artĂculo se analiza un tipo caracterĂstico de ajuar funerarioâcompuesto por diferentes elementos pertenecientes al imaginario infantilây femenino; tales como objetos de aderezo y uso personal, juguetes, miniaturasây diversos instrumentos propios de las labores de la mujer en el mundo romano,âprincipalmente husillos y ruecas. Estos objetos, en su conjunto, parecenâconformar un âajuarâtipoâ que debe ser interpretado, no como simples ofrendasâde objetos propiedad del difunto o juguetes para el niĂąo fallecido y su disfruteâen la otra vida, sino como una serie de elementos simbĂłlicos que pueden serâasociados al ritual romano del matrimonio y que parecen reflejar el estatus socialâde aquĂŠllas que habĂan fallecido antes de contraerlo. Este hecho implicabaâque no habĂan podido llevar a cabo la funciĂłn reproductora que de ellas se esperaba,âtruncando con su muerte un proyecto vital, pero tambiĂŠn social.âThe purpose of this paper is to examine, from the confirmed cases inâHispania, the different behaviour and rituals which were developed in connectionâwith the premature death in the Roman World: immaturi et innupti. Andâhow the burial practices concerning prematurely deceased young girls mirrorâdifferent social structures and religious traditions. The girls studied here, from aâwealthy and/or high status Roman social class, with GraecoâRoman traditions,âwith their uniform grave furnishings, offer a reliable foundation for interpretation:âthey evoke the ânon attained weddingâ and female virtutes.
La Iglesia de San Pedro de Zuera (Zaragoza): recuperaciĂłn patrimonial
El presente artiĚculo se centra en la evolucioĚn histoĚrico-constructiva de la iglesia de San Pedro de Zuera (Zaragoza) cuyos oriĚgenes pueden remontarse al siglo XII âlo que la convierten en el ejemplo, en pie, maĚs antiguo de mudeĚjar en AragoĚn aunque no haya sido reconocida como tal-; pero cuyo resultado final ha quedado totalmente desvirtuado y enmascarado como consecuencia de las numerosas reformas y ampliaciones realizadas en el templo a lo largo de su historia. Estos trabajos llegan incluso hasta nuestros diĚas, a raiĚz de la importante labor de restauracioĚn y puesta en valor llevada a cabo en los uĚltimos anĚos.TambieĚn presentamos los resultados de la campanĚa de excavacioĚn arqueoloĚgica llevada a cabo en el aĚbside mayor de la misma con motivo de una serie de hallazgos producidos en el transcurso de estos trabajos

High dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma not achieving complete response after induction chemotherapy. The GEL-TAMO experience
Background and objectives: patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) who do not obtain a complete response (CR) after induction chemotherapy have a poor prognosis. However, provided they are sensitive to the first regimen of chemotherapy, 25-40% of them with a B-cell phenotype may achieve long-term survival when treated with high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC/ASCT). The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy of this therapy in the corresponding patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Design and methods: we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of ASCT in 35 patients with PTCL from the GEL-TAMO registry, who did not achieve a CR to standard induction chemotherapy regimens for aggressive NHL. Thirty-one patients underwent transplantation after achieving a partial response (PR) and 4 patients were non-responders. Results: following HDC/ASCT, 23 (66%) of the patients achieved a CR, 4 (11%) a PR and in 7 (20%) cases the transplant failed. One patient was not evaluated because of early toxic death. With a median follow-up of the survivors of 37.5 months, 18 patients (51%) are alive and 15 patients (43%) are free of disease. Transplant-related mortality rate at 100 days was 11% and at 5 years the probabilities of survival, freedom from progression and disease-free survival for complete responders were 37%, 36% and 55% respectively. Pre-transplant lactate-dehydrogenase level, age-adjusted International Prognostic Index (aa-IPI) and tumor score correlated with survival. Interpretation and conclusions: one third of the patients with PTCL who fail to achieve CR to the first chemotherapeutic regimen can be rescued with HDC/ASCT. Pre-transplant values of IPI and tumor score risk systems for aggressive lymphomas were useful to predict subsequent survival
Association of HLA-B*41:02 with Henoch-SchĂśnlein Purpura (IgA Vasculitis) in Spanish individuals irrespective of the HLA-DRB1 status
INTRODUCTION:
To determine whether the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B alleles are implicated in the susceptibility to Henoch-SchĂśnlein purpura (HSP) in the largest series of Caucasian HSP patients ever assessed for genetic studies.
METHODS:
The study population was composed of 349 Spanish patients diagnosed with HSP fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology and the Michel et al. classification criteria, and 335 sex and ethnically matched controls. HLA-B phenotypes were determined by sequencing-based typing (SBT) and analyzed by chi-square or Fisher exact test.
RESULTS:
A statistically significant increase of HLA-B*41:02 allele in HSP patients when compared with controls was found (8.3% versus 1.5% respectively; pâ=â0.0001; OR (odds ratio) =5.76 [2.15-19.3]). These results remained statistically significant after adjusting for Bonferroni correction (pâ=â0.0028). An internal validation also confirmed the susceptibility effect on HSP associated with HLA-B*41:02 (ORâ=â5.70 [1.98-16.44]). Since a former study described an association between HLA-DRB1*01:03 and HSP susceptibility, we also evaluated the implication of HLA-B*41:02 independently of HLA-DRB1*01:03. Interestingly, the association remained statistically significant (pâ=â0.0004, ORâ=â4.97 [1.8-16.9]). No HLA-B association with specific HSP clinical features was found.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our study indicates that HLA-B*41:02 is associated with the susceptibility to HSP in Spanish patients irrespective of HLA-DRB1 status
Standalone vertex ďŹnding in the ATLAS muon spectrometer
A dedicated reconstruction algorithm to find decay vertices in the ATLAS muon spectrometer is presented. The algorithm searches the region just upstream of or inside the muon spectrometer volume for multi-particle vertices that originate from the decay of particles with long decay paths. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using both a sample of simulated Higgs boson events, in which the Higgs boson decays to long-lived neutral particles that in turn decay to bbar b final states, and pp collision data at âs = 7 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC during 2011
