Orígenes de la cabra paleo-canaria de villaverde (Fuerteventura)

[EN] After comparing the features of the group of goats from Villaverde ( osseous remains from the beginning of our era), -La Palma (recently extinct), and - Desertas (descendants of the anciet Canarian goat ), all of them cosidered to be of the same breed, with those of the neolithic and protohistoric goats from North Africa, greater affinity is found with the mamber goat of the predinastic Egypt and the Ancient Egyptian Empire, represented in King Ranusir's tomb (V Dinasty) 4.500 years ago, and affinity is also found with the neolithic goat painted in Amguid (Central Sahara) and the modern Sahel goats, although the paleo - Canarian goat has its own features.

La cabra paleo-canaria de Villaverde (Fuerteventura)

[ES] Miles de fragmentos óseos pertenecientes a medio millar de cabras domésticas de los pobladores de Fuerteventura durante el primer milenio de nuestra Era han sido extraídos en las excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas en la Cueva de Villaverde. Algunas de las piezas óseas estaban más completas y han permitido atisbar el aspecto de esa casta paleo-canaria que no ha subsistido en las islas, salvo quizás hasta hace poco en la Caldera de Taburiente en La Palma, puesto que ya en los siglos XVI y XVII se cruzó numerosísimas veces con ejemplares de muy diversos lugares de Europa para obtener la gran productividad lechera que caracteriza hoy a las cabras de Fuerteventura.

Orígenes de la oveja paleo-canaria de Villaverde (Fuerteventura)

[ES] El hallazgo de restos óseos de oveja durante las excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas en la Cueva de Villaverde en Fuerteventura ha permitido la reconstrucción parcial de su esqueleto, la comparación biométrica con ovicaprinos de otras culturas prehistóricas y evidenciar algunos de sus rasgos. La talla es grande, entre 70 y 80 cm. de cruz, las patas largas (longipes), al menos las hembras carecen de cuernos (acerata) y el perfil facial es recto. Otra información, antiguos escritos como los de ABREU GALINDO en 1602 y ESCUDERO en 1639, da a conocer la presencia en Canarias de una raza de carneros y ovejas "que no tienen lana, sino pelo liso como cabras" "rasas sin cuernos ni lanas" "cueros muy gruesos" "cuero peloso de carnero" "al cuero llamaban harhuy" "ovejas gordas y de mucha grasa" "ovejas no como las de España" (MEC0,1992).

Restos óseos de Lobos marinos en la Cueva de Villaverde (Fuerteventura)

[EN] During the archaeological excavations carried out in the Villaverde Cave sorne bone remains (left mandible fragment, proximal fragment of scapula and two left humerus) of two specimes of monk seals (Monachus cf. monachus) were found. Toe cave, which is a vokanic tunnel, was occupied during the firts Centuries of our Era by the former inhabitants of the Fuerteventura Island. Toe monk seals,named in the past in Canaries "Lobos marinos", were very numerous according to the Chronicles of the Conquerers (1404-1408) and for that reason the small island situated between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura lslands was named '"Isla de Lobos". These seals became extinct at the end of the XV Century and the remains found at Villaverde are the only ones known.

Un testigo directo de las tensiones religiosas en la Alejandría de los siglos IV y V D.C. : Páladas de Alejandría en la Antología Palatina

Abstract: Although he is the most prolific writer of the Greek Anthology, Palladas’ life is almost unknown. But, in spite of the limited biographical data, his work has fortunately been preserved in the GA. Because of his literary creation, the old times rewarded him with the nickname Μετέωρος, high, since the literary merits of a hundred poems of his authorship was recognized (others are discussed by critics). A dozen of them contains invaluable information about the political, religious and social situation in Alexandria immediately after the victory of the bishop Theophilus, Cyril’s predecessor and uncle, during the conflict between Christians and Gentiles, each sector backed up by an Alexandrian population segment (cfr. 9.528, 10.82, 10.85) . Resigned at times, constantly demanding, Palladas complains about the decline of the belief professed by him due to the increasing penetration of the new faith. Therefore, four epigrams record the conversion of the temple of Tyche into a tavern (9.180-183) and 10.90 seems to attack the doctrine of the Resurrection. When religion and politics go hand-in-hand, when religious conspiracies link up with palace intrigues, consequences are predictable: a man called Doroteo denounced him for his negative response to the new dogma, which caused him the loss of his teacher paid work. His annoyance was even greater with further sufferings, chiefly economic, and he had to sell his books (9.171 and 9.175) among other desperate decisions Forewarned about his radical bitterness against Church, it is just to make clear that he is not fully acquiescent with ancient gods and heroes. Thus, in 5.257 he questions Zeus’ ars amandi, in 9.377 refutes Tantalus’ possibility of thirst and hunger in Hades and 9.773 mischievously points out that Eros has been changed into a pan. The work begins with the selection, personal translation and comprehensive analysis of twenty two epigrams. Through such philological aid, we attempt to verify the frictions and the main perceptible factors in his poetic creation to justify his worldview, according to the pagan sentiment widespread in that time before the twilight already overwhelming of its ailing traditions

Collision tumour involving a rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumour with invasion of the prostate and a prostatic adenocarcinoma

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common primary mesenchymal neoplasia in the gastrointestinal tract, although they represent only a small fraction of total gastrointestinal malignancies in adults (<2%). GISTs can be located at any level of the gastrointestinal tract; the stomach is the most common location (60-70%), in contrast to the rectum, which is most rare (4%). When a GIST invades into the adjacent prostate tissue, it can simulate prostate cancer. In this study, we report on a case comprising the unexpected collision between a rectal GIST tumour and a prostatic adenocarcinoma. Findings: We describe the complexity of the clinical, endoscopic and radiological diagnosis, of the differential diagnosis based on tumour biopsy, and of the role of neoadjuvant therapy using imatinib prior to surgical treatment. Conclusions: Although isolated cases of coexisting GISTs and prostatic adenocarcinomas have reviously been described, this is the first reported case in the medical literature of a collision tumour involving a rectal GIST and prostatic adenocarcinoma components.
