En la VI campaña arqueológica se ha extraído la totalidad del aljibe y las evidencias de la puerta de entrada de la fortificación. El proceso de investigación se ha desarrollado a la par que se ha procedido a la consolidación de las estructuras o protección del suelo o paredes del aljibe.

Este artículo expone la cuarta y última campaña de excavación arqueológica llevada a cabo en la ermita de San Cristóbal, ubicada en el Concejo de Artica,Berrioplano. Loz hallazgos obtenidos han facilitado la comprensión de las características del templo y han permitido el análisis de evidencias protohistóricas en su entorno, las cuales indican el uso del espacio desde la Edad del Bronce.

Presentamos los trabajos de la campaña 2021 en el castillo de Garaño. el objetivo de la misma es seguir analizando las fases de ocupación con particular interés en el estrato y estructura asociada que nos reportó una datación de carbono 14 que nos sitúa entre el año 898 y 1014.

Production of crops in underground seedbeds, taking advantage of air spaces associated to the economy of water resources, results in a technique that needs to be perfected. This way, the objective of this work was to determine the best performance for melon plant, produced vertically in underground seedbeds covered with plastic mulching, with different planting densities. We built 15 underground seedbeds with 1.0m width, 1.0m length and 0.8m depth, covered with double-sided plastic. The experimental design used was entirely randomized with three replicas and five planting density treatments (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 pl m -2 ), where we evaluated the number of leaves, leaf area, number of fruits, production and soil humidity after crop. We concluded that there was not significant difference for number of fruits and soil humidity, but as to number of leaves, leaf area and fruit production all the treatments showed significant differences at 5% probability level, where the lower planting density treatment presented commercial productivity of 31.888 t ha -1 , as well as the best water productivity index, with 76.847 L of water per kg of fresh fruit mass.

Introduction Paranasal sinus mucoceles result from obstruction of mucous glands resulting in a cystic fluid collection that expands and encroaches upon surrounding structures. Transnasal endoscopic marsupialization has largely replaced open resection. However, mucoceles located in the orbital region or the lateral frontal sinus continue to be difficult to approach via the transnasal approach alone and often require additional approaches, such as the frontal trephine. This study sought to investigate the feasibility of the transorbital technique as an adjunct to traditional transnasal approaches in the management of paranasal sinus mucoceles. Methods A retrospective case series of paranasal sinus mucoceles approached with a transorbital technique from a tertiary care center. Results From 2008 to 2016, 17 patients were treated with a transorbital approach for 20 mucoceles. Of note, 24% of the patients in our series had undergone previous surgical management of the mucocele (nontransorbital approach), representing revision cases. Most mucoceles involved the frontal sinus (82%). The total complication rate was 6%. We observed no new or worsened diplopia, ptosis, or permanent visual loss. Recurrence rate was 6%. Conclusions The endoscopic transorbital approach is a feasible complement to transnasal approaches for treatment of mucoceles located in technically challenging locations. We have demonstrated that transorbital approaches can be performed with no resultant orbital damage, visual change, ptosis, or permanent diplopia. While most patients can be treated with a standard transnasal approach, the transorbital approach can be used as part of a multiportal strategy for those with difficult to access mucoceles. Future prospective studies are needed to further characterize patient selection and outcomes.

The JAMA Facial Plastic Surgerymission statement, appearing on the masthead of every issue, reads as follows: “JAMAFacialPlasticSurgery isamultispecialtyjournalwhose keymission is toprovide facial plastic surgeons themost accurate and innovative information available to enhance their patients’ quality of life. JAMAFacial Plastic Surgerywill strive to • Promote the art and science of facial plastic surgery by publishing significant peer-reviewedarticles on all aspects of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery of the head and neck. • Promote the education and contributions of physicians worldwide. • Provide a forum to present important and relevant issues in ethics and public policy.” JohnS. Rhee,MD,MPH,whenhe assumed theposition of Editor, appointed the InternationalAdvisoryBoard (IAB) to focus on the facial plastic surgery community outside North America. The IAB is building from strength, and JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery is already the official journal of the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies (IFFPSS) andconsistentlypublisheswell-cited articles fromaround the globe.1-9 Manuscript submissions, as expected, are more frequent from countries with larger populations and/or strong training programs in facial plastic surgery such as the United Kingdom,Switzerland,China,Germany,Brazil, Italy,Korea, the Netherlands, and Turkey. The current IAB members represent leaders in the scientific community fromNorthandSouth America, Asia, and Europe: • Peter A. Adamson, MD, Toronto, Ontario, Canada • Fazil Apaydin, MD, Izmir, Turkey • Yong Ju Jang, MD, PhD, Seoul, South Korea • Jose A. Patrocinio, MD, PhD, Uberlandia, Brazil • Santdeep Paun, MD, London, England • Abel-Jan Tasman, PD Dr, St Gallen, Switzerland The international community of facial plastic surgeons is both diverse and united. The best and brightest from around the world are attracted to our creative and challenging field. Theyarediverse in language,butmostareable toreadandwrite English albeit with additional effort for some. When I edited the theme issueonAsian facial plastic surgery, itwas clearhow much added effort someof the authors had to expend to publish an article that did justice to their innovative techniques. Nevertheless, with authors and editors working together, we brought to a global audience practical procedures to help our patients. English is a hurdle to be cleared but not an impossible one for authorswhoseprimary language is Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, or any of myriad other languages. Another areaofdiversity is the socioeconomic levelsof the various countries in the IFFPSS. Some are at a level similar to the average in North America, but others are challenged by health systems with inadequate technology and physical resources, limited educational materials, limited patient resources tomake treatment possible, and other limitations. In thesecountries theproblemsencounteredby facial plastic surgeons are somewhat different than in wealthier nations, and the economics of medical publishing can also be daunting. Finally different surgical specialties perform specific procedures in various geographical areas. One may find oneself when traveling working with plastic surgeons, facial

To define the intrinsic (hypoplasia) and extrinsic (deformational) contributions to congenital nasal deformities and the potential of a carrier state for orofacial clefting. Retrospective case series. The factors affecting 4 congenital nasal deformities are postulated after contrasting the patient's characteristics. The spectrum of congenital nasal deformities includes those that resemble the cleft lip nasal deformity, but careful inspection is needed for proper classification. Classifying congenital nasal deformities can be difficult in part due to the highly variable normal range. The most minor form of the typical unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity is the microform cleft. The potential of an isolated cleft lip nasal deformity without obvious cleft lip has been previously suggested to represent a carrier state for orofacial clefting. Definitive genetic studies and continued anthropometric documentation in relatives of patients with orofacial clefts are needed if we are to uncover previously unidentified associations, and a potential carrier state.

To delineate the anatomic architecture of the melolabial fold with surrounding structures and to elucidate potential implications for face-lift techniques. A total of 100 facial halves (from 50 cadaveric heads) were studied, including gross and microscopic dissection and histologic findings. Laboratory findings were correlated with intraoperative findings in more than 150 deep-plane face-lift dissections (300 facial halves) performed during the study period. In contrast to previous reports, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) was not found to form an investing layer in the midface. The SMAS, zygomatici muscles, and levator labii superioris alaeque nasi were found to be located in corresponding anatomic layers and to form a functional unit. Additional findings of the present study include the description of 3 structurally different portions of the melolabial fold, of an anatomic space below the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (sublevator space), and of extensions of the buccal fat pad into the sublevator space and the middle third of the melolabial fold. The findings of the present study may contribute to augment our understanding of the complex anatomy of the midface and melolabial fold. Potential implications for modern face-lift techniques are discussed.

Although the cost and frequency of cosmetic facial plastic surgery procedures continues to rise across the United States, there are interesting differences in these trends between different regions and procedure type during the last decade. There also seems to be an association between increased cost and increased frequency of these cosmetic procedures.
