Thoracocervicofacial purpura as the single manifestation of epileptic seizure
A 44 year old woman who underwent ovariectomy due to bilateral ovarian cysts at the age of 29 followed by hormone replacement therapy for several years, was admitted to hospital after a generalised grand mal seizure. The patient had no history of epilepsy. Neurological examination on admission was negative; however, purpura of the thoracocervicofacial region was seen (figure). Routine blood chemistry (platelet count on FBC) and chest radiography were normal. Cranial CT and MRI did not show any parenchymal pathology. An EEG trace was within normal limits.
Purpura was described in association with generalised seizures by Bychowski.1 Guillaume proposed that this type of purpura was of mechanical origin5, due to intense contraction of the chest and abdominal muscles with the glottis closed during the tonic-clonic phase, as in the Valsalva manoeuvre
Role of extracorporeal photochemotherapy alone and in combination with interferon alfa in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
