Valutazione del riassorbimento periprotesico in emiartroprotesi cementate d'anca: trattamento con disodioclodronato follow-up a due anni
No full textAspetti clinici e valutazione medico-legale delle fratture di polso
No full textWrist fractures represent one of the most common events in traumatology, in fact they're extremely frequently seen in Trauma Centers. The most common patient is an elderly osteopototic lady who fell accidentally or a young adult with a high energy trauma often presenting fractures in other body parts. Even though these fractures are considered being "benign", clinical and functional outcomes are often poor. In literature reports show 12 to 28% of deformities, pain and functional reduction of the wrist and of the hand after treatment. Our goal is to try to avoid errors in the clinical and therapeutical approach, enhance medical activity and avoid malpractice accuses
Il trattamento delle fratture dell'estremità distale dell'omero
No full textThe treatment of humeral articular fractures, just like that of any other fracture, must be directed to obtain the best possible anatomical reconstruction. The osteosynthesis has to give a good stability to allow an early mobilization ofthe limb. In our study we reviewed the results from the surgical treatment of distal humerus fractures in patients operated in our Orthopaedic Department of the University of`Trieste, from 1995 to 2003. The group counts 73 patients with an average follow-up of over 6 years. All patients had been operated with an open osteosynthesis. The clinical evaluation followed the Cassebaum scheme; we also evaluated heterotopic ossifications. The group of patients studied has revealed to be significant for a long-term study for the following reasons: a) it is representative for all AO types of fractures; b) patients' age ranged from 20 to 86 years; c) many cases had associated lesions (which gives a good glance of how patients were managed in these situations); d) the study was executed by only one orthopaedic, with a uniform method. Results were excellent in 23 cases (31.5%), good in 27 cases (37.0%), satisfactory in 18 cases (24.7%) and bad in 5 (6.8%). Concluding, we can state that distal humerus fractures are not frequent yet severe fractures. Their treatment requires an accurate pre-operatory planning; good surgical experience and a good postoperatory rehabilitation
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
