RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Measles is a viral infection that affects skin and other organs and systems. METHODS: We collected retrospectively the characteristics of 147 consecutive adult patients with measles during an outbreak in Spain (January-June 2012). RESULTS: They complained of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in 48.3, 39.5 and 27.2 %, respectively. The liver was involved in 67.5 % of patients. Thirty-eight patients (25.9 %) were admitted to the hospital. Associated with hospital admission were dyspnea [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 49.8], abnormal alanine aminotransferase (aOR: 29), odynophagia (aOR: 12.5) and vomiting (aOR: 58). CONCLUSION: Gastrointestinal and liver involvement in adults with measles is common.

Plant material culture can offer unique insights into the ways of life of prehistoric societies; however, its perishable nature has prevented a thorough understanding of its diverse and complex uses. Sites with exceptional preservation of organic materials provide a unique opportunity for further research. The burial site of Cueva de los Murciélagos in southern Iberia, uncovered during 19th-century mining activities, contained the best-preserved hunter-gatherer basketry in southern Europe, together with other unique organic artifacts associated with the first farming communities, such as sandals and a wooden hammer. We present 14 14C dates for the perishable artifacts (N = 76), situating the assemblage between the Early and Middle Holocene (c. 7500 to 4200 cal BCE). Our integrated analysis includes raw material determination and technological and chrono-cultural contextualization of this unique and important set of materials.
