stiffness and pulse wave velocity / Aorta and carotid arteries 137 (0.94 to 1.01) p = 0.096; Obesity OR = 0.47 (0.29 to 1.77) p = 0.003 and Diabetes OR = 2.41 (1.15 -5.05) p = 0.020. Conclusions: According to the results obtained, genetic polymorphisms variables were not in the multivariate analysis equation to determine the increase of the PWV, which can be explained either by being included in the selected variables such as hypertension, or on the other hand, they may not have enough strength to remain in the equation. So, according to this study, PWV has much more to do with behaviors and traditional risk factors than the genetic heritage.P883 Endothelial dysfunction, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index are correlated in subjects with systemic arterial hypertension?
This paper focuses on the important scholar and antiquarian Giovanni Giocondo from Verona and in particular his two editions of the De architectura of Vitruvius published in 1511 and in 1513. Two illustrations of this friar are related to the two Vitruvian passages concerning the female architectural supports called Caryatids and the Tower of the Winds at Athens. A careful study of these two drawings leads to the conclusion that they cannot depend only on the Vitruvian text, but also on visual sources. These sources of inspiration are identified respectively with the so-called Lodge of the Caryatids of the Erechtheum at Athens and with the same Tower of the Winds. Probably Friar Giocondo got information and perhaps drawings of these two monuments in 1506 when he traveled in the Saronic Gulf. Thus Giocondo’s drawing of the Caryatids probably reveals that the wrong interpretation of the Korai of the Erechtheum as Vitruvian Caryatids already existed in the early 16th century.
The establishment of an idealized concept of the life in forests and meadows and of the localization of the happiness in the groves in the Greek historical region of Arcadia is a long process.In the Greek archaic society the notion that living in forests is something beautiful is never stated. Homer in Iliad 6. 200-202 represents Bellerophon who is punished by the gods and thus wanders desolated and dismayed upon the Alean plain. Here loneliness is regarded a negative condition: the exclusion from the laos, from the men's club of a community [5, pp. 315-317; 367-369; 790-792 and 919-922] 1 . On the contrary, Hesiod's description of the Summer in his Works and is at the very beginning of the idea of enjoying the countryside far from any concern:'Let me have a shady rock and wine of Biblis a clot of curds and milk of drained goats with the flesh of a heifer fed in the woods, that has never calved, and of firstling kids; then also let me drink bright wine, sitting in the shade, when my heart is satisfied with food, and so, turning my head to face the fresh Zephyr, from the ever flowing spring which pours down unfouled, thrice pour an offering of water, but make a fourth libation of wine' [10].However in the late archaic aristocratic thought the polis begins to be seen from a negative point of view as an environment dominated by the ochlos or by the kakoi, i.e. by the lowest part of a society. This feeling is expressed especially by Theognis. This poet notes that Megara is no longer what it was in the past because the population has been changed and the low class took over the polis (see Theognis 1. 53-76; 233-236; 283-292 and 367-370) [14]. Thus the noble can only stay clear of them and of the city centre.This negative concept becomes very trendy in the 5 th century BC Athenian culture, especially in the second half of the period. Already Phidias is told by Tzetzes to have avoided the agora of Athens in order to stay lonely and to be concentrated in his artistic projects and dreams (see Tzetzes, [7. 2, p. 317, no. 1072].Euripides is also said in the Bios Euripidou to have avoided the crowd and to have preferred to be lonely in a cave on the island of Salamis (see Vita Euripidis 4.23-5.1 and Gellius 15. 20. 5) with a view toward the Peloponnese. The archaeological find of this cave on this island with an inscription related to Euripides probably confirms the reality of this desire 1
