Abstract Background The HIV epidemic reached Chile in the mid 1980s, as response a national AIDS commission was created, AIDS care centers were organized (Fundacion Arriaran [FA] was the first) and free antiretroviral therapy (ART) was later provided with progressive coverage, complexity and availability over the years Objective. Quantify evolution of mortality, retention and abandonment (LTFU) over 25 years according to qualitatively different periods in the national program of access to ART, from no availability to full coverage with current drugs at FA center Methods Retrospective analysis of FA updated database of the 5080 adult patients admitted from 1990 to 2014, who were distributed in 4 groups: A: no ART availability (1990–92); B: mono/dual ART (1993–98); C: early modern ART (HAART) (1999–2007) and D: contemporary HAART (2008–14). Mortality, Retention and LTFU were evaluated at 1, 3, 5 and 10 year intervals from admission and at end of 2015. Mortality was included in period of occurrence; LTFU was permanent absence at center of > 6 months during studied period. Local IRB approved the study Results Main results shown in Table. Mortality varied from 40% to 2%, and 62% to 7% at 1 and 5 years, for groups A and D respectively; 72% to 16% at 10 years for groups A and C, respectively. Retention at 5 years were 28%, 32%, 72% and 77% for groups A, B, C and D respectively. LTFU was 10%, 17%, 12% and 10% at 5 years for same groups, respectively. At 12/2015 6%, 19%, 61% and 84% from groups A, B, C and D, respectively, remained retained in care Conclusion This study showed the marked reduction in mortality and increase in retention of HIV patients concomitant to expanded access to therapy although LTFU remains a problem.

Abstract: cultural and material change described by historians of reading intersects with literary history in different and complex ways. An example is the cultural practice of silent reading in intimacy, which came to be pivotal for the literature of sensibility. It was gendered female in the eighteenth century and looked upon with disfavour, notably by moralists and pedagogues. However, not very long before, silent reading was associated with spirituality and women’s religious experiences, and was compatible with the virtues expected of the “lady of the Renaissance”. Several texts from the seventeenth century, notably diaries by women, will be discussed. Título en español: “Resonancia del silencio: inspiración y pasividad en la lectura femenina en el siglo XVII”.Resumen:los cambios culturales y materiales que describe la historia de la lectura entran en relaciones variadas y complejas con la historia literaria. Un ejemplo de esa dialéctica es la evolución de la práctica de la lectura silenciosa en recogimiento, que alcanzó una importancia extraordinaria para la novelística del Dieciocho. Se consideraba propia de las mujeres y estaba mal vista por moralistas y pedagogos. No mucho antes, empero, la lectura en silencio había sido un componente de la experiencia espiritual y religiosa de la mujer del Renacimiento, y como tal compatible con las virtudes femeninas. El artículo incluye comentarios de varios textos del diecisiete, en particular diarios de mujeres.

The project Myths and Idols, by the French photographer Travis Durden, came into being in 2015 by means of digital technology. The artist processed photos of nine selected modern sculptures, mostly related to ancient matters, in order to provide them with the attributes or heads belonging to the heroes of the famous Star Wars saga. The sculptures chosen by Durden for his project had been created by European artists (French sculptors and one Italian master) and they are exclusively of an early modern provenance (arising from the Renaissance, Classicism, and Neoclassicism). Not a single work of ancient art is included. However, the classical (ancient) art itself became an object of the Parisian sculptor’s interest in terms of taking early modern art into account as the artists of the latter patterned themselves on ancient samples and picked up ancient subject matters. Likewise, Star Wars in turn constitutes a product of the American pop- culture frequently referring to motifs which had originated in ancient culture. The article discusses all nine photo collages and the whole project is being interpreted. Myths and Idols offers an example of the double reception of ancient culture – the early modern and contemporary ones.
