“…Now, nearly 30 years later, the volume edited by Minnis and Whalen (2015) again explicitly revisits Di Peso's ideas, and also ideas that have structured research since the 1988 seminar, based on new theoretical frameworks and also on vast quantities of new excavation and survey that have occurred since 1988. These new data and critical interpretations inform recent understandings of the earliest archaeological remains in Casas Grandes (Kelley and Searcy 2015), agricultural and also craft production (Minnis and Whalen 2015;Rakita and Cruz 2015), political and religious organization (Douglas and MacWilliams 2015;Van Pool and Van Pool 2015), and also regional settlement patterns and the relationships between the core region and its wider surroundings (Whalen and Pitezel 2015;Punzo and Villalpando 2015). A chapter by David Phillips and Eduardo Gamboa (2015) reviews evidence of the end of Casas Grandes as a defined cultural tradition.…”

A observação que os doentes psoriáticos têm maior in-cidência de diabetes mellitus, obesidade, hipertensão, dis-lipidemia é já bem conhecida. 1 A primeira observação de uma comorbilidade associada à psoríase foi feita em 1897 quando Strauss reportou a relação com diabetes. 2 Em 1961, Reed e colaboradores descreveram a elevada prevalência de doença cardíaca-trombose coronária e enfarte agudo do miocárdio-em autópsias de doentes com artrite psoriática. 3 Na década de 70, foi observada o aumento de prevalên-cia de doença arterial e venosa em doentes internados com psoríase. 4,5 Desde então, têm-se avolumado os estudos que comprovam esta relação, não apenas em adultos, mas tam-bém em crianças. 6 Apesar destas evidências, os doentes pso-riáticos permanecem subdiagnosticados e subtratados para estes factores de risco. 7 O carácter crónico e por vezes incapacitante da doença contribui para um compromisso biopsicossocial de indivíduos afectados, comparável a outras doenças major. 8 Associa-se a hábitos de vida menos saudáveis, como o sedentarismo e o tabagismo, e a uma pletora de perturbações do humor como a depressão, ansiedade, alterações da auto-imagem e sui-cídio. 9 Num estudo português recente, foi demonstrado que doentes internados por psoríase grave tinham um consumo aumentado de psicofármacos quando comparados com um grupo controlo ajustado à idade e ao sexo. 10 As ligações entre a psoríase e a doença gastrintestinal foram sendo reforçadas ao longo destes anos. Na doença inflamatória intestinal, que partilha genética e vias inflama-tórias comuns com a psoríase, parece ser a doença de Crohn a mais fortemente associada. 11 No campo da doença hepá-tica, uma meta-análise de sete estudos observacionais revela que a esteatose hepática não alcoólica é mais prevalente em doentes com psoríase, ainda que os trabalhos revistos não tenham ajustado para factores interferentes como a presença de síndrome metabólica. 12 Ainda assim, um estudo popula-cional inglês demonstrou que a psoríase estava associada a uma prevalência de doença hepática ligeira-hepatite cró-nica, doença hepática alcoólica e esteatose hepática não alcoólica-mais evidente na medida de aumento da área corporal afectada. 1 O uso de técnicas epidemiológicas modernas e a evolu-ção científica no campo da genética e no conhecimento da fisiopatologia das vias da inflamação sistémica têm posto a descoberto comorbilidades emergentes como a doença renal crónica, a doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica, a doença péptica, a disfunção sexual e a apneia obstrutiva do sono. 13 Neste número da Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia (SPDV), revisita-se a relação da terapêutica com fármacos anti-TNF alfa na psoríase com a doença metabólica. Numa extensa e cuidada revisão, os autores analisam a evidência actual do impacto dos inibido-res do TNF-alfa na função endotelial e no risco de doença cardiovascular nos doentes com psoríase moderada a grave, evocando-se, entre outros, os mais robustos estudos que su-portam a redução desse risco. 14,15 Contudo, como ...

“…Minnis (2001, 2009) working closest to Paquimé, argue that it dominated only communities within about a day's walk of the center. Others document how Paquimé's influence extended into Sonora, Arizona, New Mexico, and far west Texas (e.g., Douglas and MacWilliams 2015;Whalen and Pitezel 2015) with some shared cultural (Rakita 2009), religious (VanPool and VanPool 2007, 2015, and material cultural commonalities (Douglas and . These studies imply that the center had less impact regionally than Di Peso envisioned.…”

“…Currently, our understanding of the Viejo period is largely based on the JCGE's excavation at the Convento site just north of Paquimé (DiPeso 1974b;DiPeso et al 1974b), substantial research at the Viejo sites quite far south of the Paquimé by Kelley et al (2012) and Kelley and Searcy (2015), and some mostly survey data from around Paquimé (Whalen and Minnis 2001;Whalen and Pitezel 2015). There are substantial Viejo villages in some areas and substantial variability between Viejo occupation around Paquimé and in southern Chihuahua; we are still quite far from having a clear understanding of the Viejo period.…”

Northwest Mexico and West Mexico include four to five times as many named cultural areas equivalent to those known in the US Southwest, all with independent yet also connected histories. Together these changing cultures formed the bridge that connected the US Southwest with Mesoamerica. We review some aspects of regional diversity and moments of inter-regional relations, beginning with early agriculture and sedentism in the north. We trace the northward spread of rising regional centers and the appearance of some of the tangible elements of connection. This review shows that specialized production was more sparsely distributed than archaeologists once thought. Cultural identities were gained and lost; yet material connections persisted, and with the advances of past decades archaeologists can better characterize their occurrences, if not yet the mechanisms that produced those connections.El Noroeste y el Occidente de México incluyen cuatro o cinco veces más áreas culturales equivalentes a los que se conocen en el Suroeste de los EUA, por ejemplo Hohokam; todas independientes pero interconectas entre sí. El conjunto de estas culturas ha formado el puente que interconectó Mesoamérica con el Suroeste de los EUA. Aquí revisamos aspectos de la diversidad cultural así como los intercambios inter-regionales, iniciando con surgimiento de la agricultura, centrándonos en el desarrollo de centros regionales y los elementos tangibles que los conectan. Esta revisión nos muestra que la producción especializada fue más escasamente distribuida de lo que los arqueólogos alguna vez pensaron. Las identidades culturales de estos pueblos se consolidaron y se perdieron en el tiempo. obstante las conexiones persistieron. El avance en las investigaciones arqueológicas de las últimas décadas nos permiten caracterizarlas de mejor manera, sin embargo entender los mecanismos que las produjeron es aún una tarea por hacer.

“…Other Medio period settlements are present within the region, although none compare to the size or grandeur of Paquime. These settlements range from a few large habitation sites perhaps half the size of Paquime, to small farming communities built on floodplains, terrace slopes, and in rockshelters (Bagwell 2006;Cruz Antillón et al 2004;Whalen and Pitezel 2015). One of the most striking aspects of Casas Grandes archaeology is its beautiful polychrome pottery characterized by black and red designs on a white background.…”

Recent analyses use geometric morphometrics (GM), the quantitative study of shape and its variation, to examine aspects of the archaeological record. Our research builds on such applications to examine the organization of production by applying GM analysis to whole ceramic vessels from the Casas Grandes culture of northwest Mexico. We quantify variation in vessel shape and size and conclude that specialists made at least some of the Ramos and Babicora Polychromes, but that the other Casas Grandes ceramic types were generally made by nonspecialists. This bolsters arguments for Medio period (AD 1200 to 1450) specialized production above the household level but indicates that specialized production was limited to a subset of economically valuable goods. We further suggest some Ramos Polychrome was made by attached specialists associated with elites at Paquime, the religious center of the Medio period, whereas some Babicora Polychrome was made by independent specialists. The analysis contributes to three important anthropological topics: (1) the study of the Medio period Casas Grandes culture, and by extension the organization of production in mid-level hierarchically organized societies; (2) geometric morphometric analysis of archaeological collections; and (3) the Standardization Hypothesis and the relationship between artifact standardization and the organization of production.
