No full textAnnotazioni letterarie sull'assistenza ai feriti della II Guerra d'Indipendenza
No full textLa natura letteraria dei testi coevi o di poco successivi agli eventi della Seconda Guerra d’Indipendenza, in particolare dei testi che fanno riferimento all’assistenza dei feriti, è praticamente nulla. L’argomento non si prestava in termini di descrizione e infatti figura quasi esclusivamente a compendio della descrizione della battaglia e delle sue conseguenze. Le poche righe scritte in proposito si soffermano sull’aspetto patetico della condizione dei feriti, o sugli aspetti organizzativi, logistici e statistici, dell’assistenza. Le annotazioni letterarie sono giusto annotazioni legate alla contingenza dell’evento e quelle che si spingono un poco oltre, cercando di umanizzare i numeri e di individualizzare l’esperienza dei feriti, lo fanno come di sfuggita e senza pretendere di fare della letteratura vera e propria. Quando lo fanno, o cercano di farlo, cadono nella retorica facendo ricorso alla frase che inneggia, che vuole celebrare e spesso commuovere, ma sempre in modo oleografico, convenzionale e stereotipato.
La cronaca può far parte della letteratura, ma non è, di per sé, letteratura, se non in senso lato. Si usa chiamare letteratura ogni cosa scritta intorno a un argomento, ma non è, ovviamente, a questo tipo di letteratura che qui si intende fare riferimento.
La letteratura intesa come pratica letteraria condotta all’interno di una tradizione, sia linguistica che culturale, si dimostra piuttosto latitante nei confronti delle imprese risorgimentali, ancor più nei confronti di argomenti considerati a margine di tali imprese
[Chylothorax]
No full text: Chylothorax is the accumulation of chyle in the pleural space. In newborns the congenital form is often prenatal diagnosed, while the late variety originates to damage to the thoracic duct by cardiac surgery, diaphragmatic hernia, etc. Clinical presentation results from the accumulation of pleural fluid and the symptoms depends on the size of the effusion. The treatment needs both medical and surgical care. The pleural cavity should be drained via thoracocentesis, and total parenteral nutrition should be started. Afterward fat-free diet with the addition of medium-chain triglycerides could be initiate. Somatostatin and octreotide have been successfully employed, mainly in post-surgery chylothorax. Surgery should be considered when medical management fails. Some approaches are reported, and thoracic duct ligation, pleurodesis and pleuroperitoneal shunts are the most utilized. The prognosis of chylothorax depends on the etiology, and it is consequence of a variety of treatments that may influence the outcome
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.
