TL;DR: In this paper, non-destructive analytical techniques in the hands of a conservator reveal a painted surface beneath Vasari's frescoes on the west wall of the Salone dei 500 in Florence.
Abstract: Non-destructive analytical techniques in the hands of a conservator reveal a painted surface beneath Vasari's frescoes on the west wall of the Salone dei 500 in Florence. Analysis of the pigments suggests that it is not related to the Vasari fresco over it, that it uses a toothy ground in an oil or resin binder, and contains pigments that can be associated with Leonardo. Art-historical re-examination of documents and descriptions of the Hall supports the suggestions of the conservator. Misinterpretation of a document established the tradition of locating the Battle of Anghiari on the east wall. Analysis of the building and the documents helps clarify Vasari's description of the Hall and suggests that the seat of the Gonfaloniere and Leonardo's mural were on the west wall.

Abstract: The Mexican American mural movement in Southern California has often been viewed as folk art by anthropologists, art historians, and others. This view neglects the historical antecedents of the murals in the Mexican art tradition. However, this expressive form needs to be explained from various perspectives since social, political, and economic factors have dictated the direction taken by this movement. By a movement I mean action by a person or group of people working concertedly toward a particular goal. This action stems from dissatisfaction with popular norms or beliefs that have been universalized and that exclude a particular segment of the population. The Mexican mural movement of Los Angeles started not solely to beautify a neglected area of the city, but to serve as a voice and a political statement for the Chicanos. The founding artists of the mural movement were immigrants or firstand second-generation U.S. citizens. Each of these groups possessed a different artistic background and training that ranged from the university trained to the self-taught artist. Of paramount importance is the fact that this particular artistic movement is distinguished from other art movements. It originated from a tradition-bound network of affective relationships between individuals or between an individual and a group, as compared to the intellectual relationships of one painting to another-whether the latter relationship be one of political or aesthetic importance, as are various

TL;DR: A 55-year-old man who had nodular prurigo affecting both legs for 7 years with benoxaprofen 600 mg daily as sole therapy for 2 months was treated and the lesions are now flat and healing with atrophy and scarring.
Abstract: Treatment of nodular prurigo with benoxaprofen SIR, A 60-year-old female patient whom we were treating for nodular prurigo suddenly improved when her family practitioner gave her benoxaprofen (Opren*, Dista) for osteoarthritis. We therefore treated a 55-year-old man who had nodular prurigo affecting both legs for 7 years with benoxaprofen 600 mg daily as sole therapy for 2 months. Treatment was then discontinued and the lesions are now flat and healing with atrophy and scarring. Figure i a shows the typical histology ofa pre-treatment
