A longitudinal analysis of dysfunctional pathology of the TMJ: an assessment of a sample of patients not undergoing therapy [Analisi longitudinale della patologia disfunzionale dell'ATM: valutazione di un campione di pazienti non sottoposti a terapia.]
No full textConcerning the different interpretation on the pathological and clinical evolution of the TMJ dysfunctions, the most common of these pathology is the condyle-disk incoordination. This study analyzed the evolution of TMJ dysfunctions examined at the maxillo-facial department of the University of Rome "La Sapienza". The non therapeutic approach does not consider an addition al control-sample of the non treated being itself a control-sample of a parallel work whose aim was to analyze patients who had undergone a complete therapeutic cycle
[A statistical evaluation of the surgical therapy of TMJ condyle-disk incoordination].
No full textBiomechanical pathology of the TMJ occurs most frequently in 4 clinical variants: anterior dislocation of the jaw, reciprocal click, closed lock, osteoarthrotic degeneration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of TMJ surgery, using statistical comparative analysis, in resolving condylo-meniscal incoordination. Eighty-one patients were included in the study who had been treated surgically for various symptoms of condylo-discal incoordination from 1982 to 1989, assessing a series of objective and subjective parameters and making a statistical comparison of results
A longitudinal analysis of dysfunctional TMJ pathology: an assessment of a sample of patients undergoing nonsurgical therapy [Analisi longitudinale della patologia disfunzionale dell'ATM: valutazione di un campione di pazienti sottoposti a terapia non chirurgica.]
No full textOne the different interpretation of the pathological and clinical evolution of TMJ dysfunctions, the most-common of these pathologies is the condyle-disk uncoordination. This study analyzes the evolution of the treatment on the sample of patients affected by TMJ dysfunction and examined at the maxillo-facial department of the University of Rome "La Sapienza". After the TMJ dysfunction has been diagnosed the patients were informed of the individual therapeutic program which consisted of a temporary and definitive occlusal therapy. The aim of this scientific work is to control the efficiency within this therapeutic program in relation to the uncoordination of TMJ. In order to validate this approach the study was compared with another that considered the evolution of TMJ pathology in patients examined at the first diagnostic, visit but who had not undergone any treatment
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
