Abstract 5786: Inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein in predicting overall survival in breast cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy
No full textAbstract Elevated levels of the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) has been associated with multiple medical conditions and worse breast cancer survival. However, most prior studies have examined the effect of individual medical conditions and CRP on all-cause mortality. Therefore, this study examined the combined effects of multiple medical conditions and high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) before and after radiotherapy (RT) on overall survival in a tri-racial/ethnic breast cancer patient population (n=506). Blood samples were collected on the first (pre-RT) and last day of RT (post-RT), and patients were followed for up to 10 years through regular review of electronic medical records. Overall survival was calculated from the date of diagnosis to the date of death or last follow-up. hsCRP level was dichotomized at the cut-off values of 10 or 9 mg/L. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the associations between overall survival and patient/clinical characteristics, multiple medical conditions, and hsCRP. The study population was comprised of 319 Hispanic whites (63%), 104 black/African Americans (21%), 67 non-Hispanic whites (13%), and 16 others (3%). In the univariable analyses, the hazard for death was significantly higher in patients with tumor stage III-IV (hazard ratio [HR]: 6.25; 95%CI: 2.92-13.38; p<0.001), triple-negative breast cancer (HR: 2.22; 95%CI: 1.07-4.60; p=0.033), 3+ medical conditions (HR: 3.41; 95%CI: 1.04-11.15; p=0.043), ≥10 mg/L pre-RT hsCRP (HR: 2.54; 95%CI: 1.22-5.29; p=0.013), and ≥10 mg/L post-RT hsCRP (HR: 3.92; 95%CI: 1.91-8.03; p<0.001). In the multivariable model, tumor stage III-IV (HR: 7.44; 95%CI: 2.88-19.24; p<0.001) and ≥10 mg/L post-RT hsCRP (HR: 2.46; 95%CI: 1.03-5.89; p=0.043) remained significant. The addition of pre- and post-RT CRP (10 mg/L as the cut-off value) to a patient/clinical characteristic model increased the AUC/C-statistic for 5-year survival from 0.826 to 0.872, which further increased to 0.897 when 9 mg/L was used as the cut-off value for hsCRP. In summary, our current results validate previous reports on the association between hsCRP and overall survival in breast cancer patients in addition to its association with RT-related skin toxicities and pain. Although RT reduces local recurrence rates and improves survival compared to breast-conserving surgery alone, there has been active debate regarding the risk/benefit ratio of RT in some breast cancer patients. We demonstrate that hsCRP at post-RT is significantly associated with worse overall survival, and these results may help in the assessment of breast cancer prognosis and provide guidance in the clinical decision-making process.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
