The paper contextualises the occurrences of the
iunctura castra sequi
in three elegiac Latin poems (Prop. 2.10.19, Tib. 2.6.1 and Ov.
am.
3.8.26), with the addition of two further passages (Verg.
...ecl.
10.23 and Lucan. 2.348): these latter ones, indeed, though belonging to different eidetic contexts, exhibit important links to characteristically elegiac
topoi
. In all of the passages under consideration,
castra sequi
reveals itself, so to say, as a marker of the crucial dichotomy between love and war,
militia
and
amor
, which can only find some sort of recomposition via the metaphorical
plexus
of
militia amoris
.
The Glasgow prognostic score, a marker of systemic inflammation, is associated with clinical outcomes in different cancers including prostate cancer. However, there is no evidence for the ...relationship between the high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic score (Hs-mGPS) in prostate cancer and its prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of Hs-mGPS in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) treated with docetaxel. We retrospectively analyzed clinical datasets from 131 CRPC patients who received docetaxel treatment at Chiba University Hospital and a related hospital. Clinical factors including Hs-mGPS before docetaxel treatment were evaluated according to overall survival. The numbers of patients with Hs-mGPS of 0, 1, and 2 were 88, 30, and 13, respectively. The median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 28.9 ng/mL. The median testosterone level was 13.0 ng/dL. The percentages of bone and visceral metastases were 80.8% and 10.2%, respectively. For overall survival, Hs-mGPS ≥ 1 (hazard ratio of 2.41;
= 0.0048), testosterone ≥ 13.0 ng/dL (hazard ratio of 2.23;
= 0.0117), and PSA ≥ 28.9 ng/mL (hazard ratio of 2.36;
= 0.0097) were significant poor prognostic factors in the multivariate analysis. The results of the two-group analysis showed that a higher Hs-mGPS was associated with high PSA, alkaline phosphatase, and testosterone levels. The median testosterone levels for Hs-mGPS of 0, 1, and 2 were 9.0, 16.5, and 23.0, respectively. Based on the multivariate analysis, we created a combined score with three prognostic factors: Hs-mGPS, testosterone, and PSA. The low-risk group (score of 0-1) showed a significantly longer overall survival compared to the intermediate-risk (score of 2-3) and high-risk (score of 4) groups (
< 0.0001). Our results demonstrated that an elevated Hs-mGPS was an independent prognostic factor in CRPC patients treated with docetaxel therapy. Risk classification based on Hs-mGPS, testosterone, and PSA may be useful in predicting the prognosis of CRPC patients.
Zusammenfassung
Seit dem Jahr 1924 gibt es in Deutschland die Möglichkeit, eine Facharztanerkennung für Urologie zu erwerben. Bereits im ausgehenden Kaiserreich und der Weimarer Republik entstanden ...erste Klinikabteilungen zur Behandlung urologischer Krankheitsbilder. Der Beginn fachärztlicher Versorgung im bayerischen Regierungsbezirk Oberpfalz, in Teilen bis in die zweite Hälfte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts hinein als „Armenhaus“ Deutschlands bekannt, liegt aber deutlich später. Dennoch lässt sich hier die Linie „urologischer“ Tätigkeit in sehr viel weiter zurückliegende Epochen zurückverfolgen. Dabei muss es als naturgemäß hingenommen werden, dass die Nachweislage in längst vergangenen Zeiten schwach ausgeprägt ist. Zumal bei einem Thema wie der Krankenbehandlung und Gesundheitserhaltung, das uns Heutigen nicht nur als Wissenschaft, sondern auch ganz individuell oft als zentraler Lebensschwerpunkt gilt, in der Geschichte aber oft genug nur in der Seuchenbekämpfung und in anekdotischen Beschreibungen ihren Ausdruck fand. Ein Umstand, der beim Blick in die Geschichte der Urologie freilich die ein oder andere interessante Quelle erhoffen lässt. So möchte der vorliegende Beitrag nicht nur die Entwicklungsgeschichte der Urologie in zeithistorischer Prägung bis in unsere Tage in einem ländlich geprägten Raum nachzeichnen, sondern auch auf die Behandlung urologischer Krankheitsbilder in diesem Gebiet seit der Spätantike eingehen – und dazu einladen, an anderen Erinnerungsorten der Urologie ähnlich zu verfahren.
This study deals with the mineralogical and chemical characterization of archaeometallurgical material from the Roman archaeological site of Castra (Ajdovščina, western Slovenia). Samples were ...initially analysed via optical microscopy and X‐ray powder diffraction, with the composition of individual phases then determined using scanning electron microscopy coupled with electron‐dispersive spectroscopy, and Raman microspectroscopy. Chemical investigation was carried out by using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy to measure the major element content. The results showed that the slag originated from iron smithing operations, with calcium‐rich olivines, as well as wuestite and leucite, the most abundant phases. The investigated slags were also found to be characterized by significantly high lime levels, which probably promoted the formation of the calcium‐rich olivines.
The Roman site of Carnuntum was once a flourishing center on the frontiers of the Roman Empire. In its heyday as the capital of the province of Pannonia superior, Carnuntum probably covered an area ...of almost 9 km2. The whole site was divided into a military settlement (castra and canabae legionis) and a civil town (municipium/colonia). Through a large-scale archaeological prospection project, this huge area could be investigated and analyzed in great detail using a wide variety of nondestructive prospection methods. One of the main discoveries of the project was observed in the military settlement, where it was possible to identify a previously unknown military camp, interpreted as the garrison of the governor’s guard, the castra singularium. Through the topographic analysis of the immediate surroundings, the Roman fort was determined to be embedded in a large administrative complex related to the governor’s seat in Carnuntum. This article presents these new discoveries and shows what an important part they formed in the administration of the Roman province of Upper Pannonia.
Katalog in analiza zajemata 125 rimskih novcev, odkritih med zaščitnimi arheološkimi raziskovanji zunaj obzidja Castra v letih 2006 in 2007. Slika zastopanosti novcev posameznih obdobij ne odstopa od ...slike, ki jo ponujajo novčne najdbe, odkrite pred tem obdobjem na območju Castra. Novci iz 1., 2. in prve polovice 3. stoletja so zastopani z zgolj 1,6 %, večina novcev sodi v drugo polovico 4. stoletja. Struktura denarja v obtoku je podobna strukturi na najdiščih v severovzhodni Italiji. Odlično ohranjen Honorijev novec iz obdobja 408–423 kaže na normalen dotok denarja v denarni obtok in s tem posredno na aktivnosti v mestu vsaj še v prvih treh desetletjih 5. stoletja. S pomočjo novčnih najdb je sicer mogoče časovno podrobneje opredeliti le redke gradbene strukture, ki so jih zaobjele arheološke raziskave zahodno od obzidja, saj je bila večina novcev odkritih v ruševinskih plasteh.
V prvem delu so prikazani pomembnejši rezultati raziskav rimskodobne Ajdovščine (Fluvio Frigido; Castra) pred letom 2013. V drugem delu podajamo izsledke arheoloških izkopavanj iz let 2006−2007, ki ...so potekala zunaj obzidja, na južni in zahodni strani. Odkriti so bili temelji stavb iz srednjega in poznega cesarskega obdobja, plasti nasutij in odpad kovaške žlindre. Analiza drobnih najdb podpira domnevo o kontinuirani poselitvi Ajdovščine od sredine 1. st. n. št. do sredine ali celo druge polovice 5. st. V razpravo so ponujeni novi pogledi na vlogo in pomen Kastre v sklopu sistema zapor claustra Alpium Iuliarum in na zaključno fazo rimskodobne poselitve.
The Dacian Wars present at this moment numerous unknown aspects, among these are the military operations of the Roman Army on the Lower and Middle basin of the Mureș Valley. The scholarly opinions on ...this matter are numerous, in regard to the advance directions, the troop composition, and the period in which the actions occurred -the first or the second war. The author brings into discussion another possible advance route towards the Mureș Valley, across the Lipovei Hills, on a via terrena road type, built and used during the Dacian -Roman Wars. The hypothesis is supported by the discovery of another possible roman road in 1977, which crosses in its turn the Lipovei Hills about 50 km to the east, at Bulci. Related to these events during the wars, the author presents a number of new fortifications at Bârzava, Neudorf and Secusigiu. The one from Secusigiu, judging by its size and analogies, might represent a temporary roman camp and could represent the first tangible proof of a Roman advance on the Mureș Valley during the Dacian Wars.
