La nouvelle classification de Savary des oesophagites de reflux [Savary's new endoscopic classification of reflux oesophagitis]

Comme la classification de Savary-Miller dont elle adopte l'essentiel, la classification de l'oesophagite par refluxen 5 types de Savary-Monnier repose sur une analyse rigoureuse et précise des lésions endoscopiques. Ses principales qualités sont d'être simple, complète, logique et souple. Son impact sur la pratique est certain puisqu'elle a une excellente valeur pronostique et qu'elle permet de choisir la bonne stratégie thérapeutique. De plus, en isolant les cicatrices cylindriques (seules précancéroses à surveiller à long terme) elle permet de les utiliser pour préciser la topographie des oesophagites de reflux.

Por uma perspectiva histórica pós-colonial, um estudo de caso:A ʻdescolonizaçãoʼ de Angola e o retorno dos ʻnacionaisʼ

Refletir sobre a descolonização e sobre os fluxos humanos nos espaços de encontros e desencontros, de aproximações e de fossos de incompreensão que foram as colônias e suas respectivas metrópoles exige a observação da história das relações coloniais. Para o que se propõe neste trabalho cabe então começar por uma apresentação, ainda que breve, do que foi a relação entre Portugal e Angola. Apesar dos primeiros contatos entre Portugal e a região que atualmente compreende o Estado angolano remontarem ao século XV, a conversão de Angola em uma colônia de povoamento foi um processo iniciado em fins do século XIX, mas que só ganharia fôlego a partir de meados do século XX (Castelo, 2007). Em nenhum dos territórios africanos onde o colonialismo de povoamento teve lugar – África do Sul, Argélia, Rodésia do Sul, Quênia, Angola e Moçambique – desenvolveu-se um modelo puro de colônias de povoamento, como o dos EUA, por exemplo. O colonialismo de povoamento praticado no continente africano no século XX baseou-se simultaneamente no povoamento europeu com caráter definitivo, no domínio político e jurídico da metrópole sobre as populações indígenas e na exploração da mão-de-obra e dos recursos locais (Castelo, 2007; Elkins; Pedersen, 2005). Seguindo este padrão, nas colônias portuguesas rigorosas políticas em relação ao controle da terra e do trabalho das populações nativas coexistiram com a retórica da promoção de uma mistura racial harmoniosa através da fixação de colonos metropolitanos nos territórios africanos.

The Anarak, Jandaq and Posht-e-Badam metamorphic complexes in central Iran: New geological data, relationships and tectonic implications

The Anarak, Jandaq and Posht-e-Badam metamorphic complexes occupy the NW part of the Central-East Iranian Microcontinent and are juxtaposed with the Great Kavir block and Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Our recent findings redefine the origin of these complexes, so far attributed to the Precambrian-Early Paleozoic orogenic episodes, and now directly related to the tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. This tectonic evolution was initiated by Late Ordovician-Early Devonian rifting events and terminated in the Triassic by the Eocimmerian collision event due to the docking of the Cimmerian blocks with the Asiatic Turan block. The ``Variscan accretionary complex'' is a new name we proposed for the most widely distributed metamorphic rocks connected to the Anarak and Jandaq complexes. This accretionary complex exposed from SW of Jandaq to the Anarak and Kabudan areas is a thick and fine grain siliciclastic sequence accompanied by marginal-sea ophiolitic remnants, including gabbro-basalts with a supra-subduction-geochemical signature. New Ar-40/Ar-39 ages are obtained as 333-320 Ma for the metamorphism of this sequence under greenschist to amphibolite facies. Moreover, the limy intercalations in the volcano-sedimentary part of this complex in Godar-e-Siah yielded Upper Devonian-Tournaisian conodonts. The northeastern part of this complex in the Jandaq area was intruded by 215 +/- 15 Ma arc to collisional granite and pegmatites dated by ID-TIMS and its metamorphic rocks are characterized by Some Ar-40/Ar-39 radiometric ages of 163-156 Ma. The ``Variscan'' accretionary complex was northwardly accreted to the Airekan granitic terrane dated at 549 +/- 15 Ma. Later, from the Late Carboniferous to Triassic, huge amounts of oceanic material were accreted to its southern side and penetrated by several seamounts such as the Anarak and Kabudan. This new period of accretion is supported by the 280-230 Ma Ar-40/Ar-39 ages for the Anarak mild high-pressure metamorphic rocks and a 262 Ma U-Pb age for the trondhjemite-rhyolite association of that area. The Triassic Bayazeh flysch filled the foreland basin during the final closure of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean and was partly deposited and/or thrusted onto the Cimmerian Yazd block. The Paleo-Tethys magmatic arc products have been well-preserved in the Late Devonian-Carboniferous Godar-e-Siah intra-arc deposits and the Triassic Nakhlak fore-arc succession. On the passive margin of the Cimmerian block, in the Yazd region, the nearly continuous Upper Paleozoic platform-type deposition was totally interrupted during the Middle to Late Triassic. Local erosion, down to Lower Paleozoic levels, may be related to flexural bulge erosion. The platform was finally unconformably covered by Liassic continental molassic deposits of the Shemshak. One of the extensional periods related to Neo-Tethyan back-arc rifting in Late Cretaceous time finally separated parts of the Eocimmerian collisional domain from the Eurasian Turan domain. The opening and closing of this new ocean, characterized by the Nain and Sabzevar ophiolitic melanges, finally transported the Anarak-Jandaq composite terrane to Central Iran, accompanied by large scale rotation of the Central-East Iranian Microcontinent (CEIM). Due to many similarities between the Posht-e-Badam metamorphic complex and the Anarak-Jandaq composite terrane, the former could be part of the latter, if it was transported further south during Tertiary time.
