Desde los primeros compases de la historia de las torres de almenara onubenses el paraje del Asperillo pareció a los responsables del proyecto uno de los lugares adecuados para la construcción de una atalaya de vigilancia. A pesar de ello, su ubicación sobre un acantilado directamente combatido por el mar la convirtió pronto en un edificio amenazado de ruina. En este artículo nos centraremos en el grave estado que la atalaya presentaba a mediados del siglo XVIII, lo que daría pie a su demolición y reconstrucción mediante proyecto del ingeniero militar Joseph Barnola.

En este artículo nos centraremos en el grave estado que la atalaya presentaba a mediados del siglo XVIII, lo que daría pie a su demolición y reconstrucción mediante proyecto del ingeniero militar Joseph Barnola ; From the first moments in the history of the beacon towers of Huelva, the place of Asperillo, those who were responsible for the project thought it was one of the suitable places for the construction of a watchtower. Despite this, its location on a cliff directly beaten by the sea, soon turned it into a building threatened with ruin. In this article we will focus on the serious state that the watchtower presented in the middle of the eighteenth century, which would give rise to its demolition and reconstruction through a project of the military engineer Joseph Barnola
Tal vez por las preguntas que nos hacemos ante sus carcomidos restos, la torre del Río del Oro ocupa un lugar destacado entre las atalayas destruidas de la costa de Huelva. Sin embargo, más allá de su referencia en trabajos generales sobre el sistema de almenaras, se trata de una torre muy desconocida, tanto en lo tocante a su historia como a su morfología, características y estado de defensa. El presente trabajo pretende, por medio de un acercamiento documental y cartográfico, avanzar en el conocimiento de tan interesante edificio, explicando su papel como elemento defensivo primordial de un enclave estratégico y analizando las reformas que sufrió durante el siglo XVIII para atender a la problemática de cimentación que finalmente acabaría por destruirla. ; Maybe because of the questions that we ask ourselves when we are in front of its eaten-away remains, the tower of Río del Oro takes a prominent position among the ruined watch towers on the coast of Huelva. Nevertheless, apart from its mention in general studies on the system of beacon towers, it is a very unknown one, not only if we refer to its history and morphology, but also to its characteristics and condition of defence. The present study expects, by means of a documentary and cartographic approach, to progress in the knowledge of such an interesting construction, explaining its role as a defensive basic element of a strategic spot and analyzing the reforms that suffered in order to help its foundation problems during the 18th century, a circumstance which finally destroyed it.
Rare diseases affect up to 29 million people in the European Union, and almost 50% of them affect the nervous system or muscles. Delays in diagnosis and treatment onset and insufficient treatment choices are common. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) may improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients and optimize care pathways, delivering the best scientific evidence to all clinicians treating these patients. Recommendations are set for developing and reporting high-quality CPGs on rare neurological diseases (RNDs) within the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), through a consensus procedure. A group of 27 experts generated an initial list of items that were evaluated through a two-step Delphi consensus procedure and a face-to-face meeting. The final list of items was reviewed by an external review group of 58 members. The consensus procedure yielded 63 final items. Items are listed according to the domains of the AGREE instruments and concern scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigour of development, and applicability. Additional items consider reporting and ethical issues. Recommendations are supported by practical examples derived from published guidelines and are presented in two tables: (1) items specific to RND CPGs, and general guideline items of special importance for RNDs, or often neglected; (2) items for guideline development within the EAN. This guidance aims to provide solutions to the issues specific to RNDs. This consensus document, produced by many experts in various fields, is considered to serve as a starting point for further harmonization and for increasing the quality of CPGs in the field of RNDs.
