This article examines two conceptions around the image of classical philosophy, in order to rehearse a re-reading of the digital appearance or "image-pixel". From Plato, we consider the idea of the image as symploke of being and not being: the image, as a translucent skin that accompanies all things, comes off, like a fine film, from those same things, and can be inscribed on a surface (this is the role of the painter). From Aristotle, the concept of the diaphanous is examined, a common potency to everything, which operates as an intermediary instance (metaxy) for the emergence of the visible things. Both concepts help to understand the radical nature of the digital image, understood as an immanent modality of the 'appearance' that is not inscribed on any surface or support, leading us to think of the figure of a hyper-medial new diaphaneity (the pixel).

Introduction. Osteopenia is a decrease in bone density secondary to low bone mineralization and can present as rickets, osteomalacia and osteoporosis. The aim of this study is to detect when osteopenia is presented in preterm newborns (PNB) of a neonatal ward. methods. We carried out an observational, prospective, comparative clinical trial (study cohort) that included 30 PNB admitted from November 2010 to August 2011 and who met the criteria selection. Alkaline phosphatase levels were considered elevated from 280 IU/L. All patients were administered Ca, P, alkaline phosphatase serum. X-rays of long bones at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after admission were taken. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Significance levels were set at p <0.05. Results. The study population consisted of 30 PNB with a median gestational age of 29 weeks and median birth weight of 1055 g. Parenteral and enteral nutrition (mixed) was managed in all patients. Radiological changes suggestive of osteopenia were reported in 83.3% of patients during the first 2 weeks of study and at the end of the study in 86.7% of patients (n =26). The median age of detection of osteopenia was 19 days of life. Conclusions. Osteopenia of prematurity occurs at approximately the third week after birth. These results present a different picture to that reported in the literature since the time of reporting these data. Preventing bone disease should be more timely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims at discussing some aspects about how Hegel and Heidegger use the term "phenomenology". The author examines as a first step Heidegger's reading of Hegel's texts, and then as a second step indentifies the differences. Therefore it becomes necessary to give a brief introduction about Hegel's use of "phenomenology", in order to put it in contrast with Heidegger's idea of phenomenology, especially starting from his first lectures in Freiburg. In this way we will reveal some elements in order to distinguish the dialectic meaning and the hermeneutic meaning which the term "phenomenology" may bear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
