Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the dorsum of the tongue : presentation of a case

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the most frequent malignant neoplasm of minor salivary glands (76.5%); it is clinically characterized by slow growth, and its most frequent localization is the hard palate. Histopathologically it presents three patterns, cribriform, tubular and solid; the solid type is related to a poor prognostic contrary to the cribriform type, which has a better prognosis. Surgical excision with wide margins is the treatment of choice, if it metastasizes to lymph nodules, post surgical radiotherapy is recommended. A 19 year-old man presented a recurrent lesion on the dorsum of the tongue previously diagnosed as monomorphic adenoma. In a second biopsy it was diagnosed as adenoid cystic carcinoma. The following immunohistochemical studies were ordered: CALP, CEA, Epithelial Membrane Antigen, Glial Fibrilar Acid Protein, Ki67; all of these studies were positive and with different intensities, corroborating the diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma. The patient had a recurrence after 2 years

Memories of Sancti Petri on the Bird of Submarine Archaeology

En este merecido homenaje a don Antonio Sáez Espligares, me propongo reflejar el valor de las personas y recuerdos inéditos de los primeros pasos de la arqueología submarina en Cádiz, particularmente en Sancti Petri. Deseo que no quede en el olvido, por su gran interés y el papel fundamental que jugó en el desarrollo de la nueva especialidad arqueológica. La investigación iniciada en los primeros años de la década de los 70 del siglo pasado, con la finalidad de elaborar la Carta Arqueológica Submarina de Cádiz, quedó de improviso paralizada por decisiones de la autoridad competente, cuando empezaba a dar sus frutos a mitad de la década 80. Los logros científicos conseguidos con tanto esfuerzo para vencer las dificultades del medio físico, las carencias técnicas y las económicas, fueron cubiertos bajo un manto de silencio. Ya entrado el siglo XXI permanecen casi totalmente olvidadas. Principalmente en la bibliografía posterior, se callan aquellas prospecciones y excavaciones sistemáticas pioneras, presentando sin rubor los escasos trabajos submarinos realizados después, como los primeros en la región con la finalidad de realizar el llamado Proyecto General de Investigación de la Bahía de Cádiz “Carta Arqueológica Subacuática”.With this well-deserved tribute to Mr. Antonio Sáez Espligares. I am seeking to show the value of people and to convey unknown memories of the first steps in underwater archaeology in Cádiz, particularly in Sancti Petri. I would not want them to be forgotten because of their great value and the key role they played in the development of new branch of archaeology. Research that began in the early 1970s in to create a Submarine Archaeological Map of Cádiz was brought to a sudden end in the mi-1980s by a decision of the competent authorities at a time when it was producing its first fruits. The scientific accomplishments that had been achieved with great personal effort put in to overcome environmental, economic and technical difficulties were shrouded in complete silence. And at the present time, well into the 21st century, they remain totally forgotten. Those systematic surveys and excavations pioneer are being ignored, notably in subsequent literature, which shamelessly quote the very few underwater projects conducted in the region for the purpose of drawing a so-called General Research Project in Cádiz Bay-Sub-aquatic archaeological Map

Incidence of Perinatal Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Catalonia: An Observational Study of Protective and Risk Factors

Pregnancy and childbirth have a great impact on women's lives; traumatic perinatal experiences can adversely affect mental health. The present study analyzes the incidence of perinatal post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Catalonia in 2021 from data obtained from the Registry of Morbidity and Use of Health Resources of Catalonia (MUSSCAT). The incidence of perinatal PTSD (1.87%) was lower than in comparable studies, suggesting underdiagnosis. Poisson regression adjusting for age, income, gestational weeks at delivery, type of delivery, and parity highlighted the influence of sociodemographics, and characteristics of the pregnancy and delivery on the risk of developing perinatal PTSD. These findings underline the need for further research on the risk factors identified and for the early detection and effective management of PTSD in the perinatal setting
