Oncological resection of lung cancer invading the aortic arch In full thickness using a non-fenestrated endograft.

T4 lung cancer invading the full thickness of the aortic arch was completely removed in a 78-year-old lady using a non-fenestrated endograft closing the left subclavian artery origin without performing surgical revascularization. Left thoracotomy and upper lobectomy with resection of superior segment of the lower lobe and full thickness of the infiltrated aorta was performed without covering the aortic defect. The margins of the specimen were free of tumor. The patient survived 32 months. J. Surg. Oncol. 2016;114:412-415. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

La medida de la homofobia manifiesta y sutil / Measuring explicit and subtle hornophobia

El prejuicio como una disposición afectiva negativa hacia un grupo en su totalidad o hacia sus miembros tiene una larga tradición en la Psicología Social (Adorno, 1950; Allport, 1954). Dicha tradición ha volcado sus esfuerzos en el prejuicio racial, en menoscabo de otros grupos que también son fuente de prejuicio como los homosexuales. Sin embargo, cualquier acercamiento al tema de la homofobia debería hacerse hoy desde la nueva comprensión del prejuicio. El objetivo de este artículo es comprobar si la distinción entre prejuicio sutil y prejuicio manifiesto se puede aplicar al prejuicio hacia los homosexuales. Para ello, se pasó a una muestra de 232 personas un cuestionario que incluía una escala de homofobia manifiesta y sutil, una escala de discrepancia percibida de valores, una escala de autoritarismo de derechas y una escala de autodiscrepancia norma-conducta. Los resultados confirman que existen diferencias entre homofobia manifiesta y homofobia sutil, en la misma línea que el prejuicio racial (AU)

Prejudice as a negative affective attitude towards a particular group or towards an individual as a members of the group has a long research tradition in Social Psychology (Adorno, 1950; Allport, 1954). Most of this research, however, has concentrated on racial prejudice rather than prejudice towards other target groups, such as homosexuals. However, any approach to the study of homophobia today must take into account new understanding of prejudice. The aim of this article is to see if the distinction between subtle prejudice and explicit prejudice can be applied to prejudice toward homosexuals. A sample of 232 people answered a questionnaire that included: a scale of explicit and subtle homophobia, a scale of perceived discrepancy of values, a scale of authoritarianism and a scale of self-discrepancy. The results confirm that there are differences between explicit and subtle homophobia, along the same lines as in racial prejudice (AU)
