No full text[Richter's hernia: a clinical case and the clinico-therapeutic considerations]. Fornaro R, Terrizzi A, Davini MD, Canaletti M, Baldi E, Bonfante P, Sticchi C, Cavaliere D, Ferraris R.
The authors report a case of Richter's hernia. They underline main clinical and therapeutic patterns, emphasizing the need of an early diagnosis and surgery. This is a hernia of abdominal wall with partial entrapment of bowel wall (antimesenteric site) through a small ring. The incidence increased in the last years because of diffusion of laparoscopic techniques. Richter's hernia could be asymptomatic for a long time or show vanish sign. Sometimes this hernia can be diagnosed during surgery. The clinical signs are conclamated if hernia is complicated by strangulation. High mortality is justified by performing too late diagnosis and operation
Calvino's Invisible Cities in the Netherlands and Flanders:(In)visibilities in translation and reception
Full text link“Calvino’s Invisible Cities in the Netherlands and Flanders: (in)visibilities in Translation and Reception” by Elio Baldi and Linda Pennings traces the reception of Invisible Cities through its (marginal) presence in literary manuals, other writers’ engagements with the book through paratextual reference and parody, and an analysis of the only published translation in Dutch (1981). Academic discussion and critical readings of Invisible Cities have remained relatively scarce, though it is Calvino’s most popular book in terms of the reading public with roughly one reprint every year. Writers demonstrate their appreciation for Calvino via their paratextual homage and occasional (subtle) dialogue with Calvino’s city descriptions, and these engagements indicate which parts of the book most actively resonate with Flemish and Dutch readers. Analysis of the translation shows that many of the stylistic qualities of the original which have a clear semantic role (rhythms, symmetries, repetitions, chiasms, alliterations, the poetic concision of the work) are not sufficiently rendered in the existing translation and, as a consequence, do not reach the Dutch reader, explaining the absence of discussion of these meaningful formal aspects of Calvino’s work in Dutch-language criticism
Introduction
Full text linkThis volume examines the reception and circulation of Calvino’s Invisible Cities, a book of travels, exchange and (reimagining) urban space, in different countries and continents. This is the first in-depth analysis of the circulation of the book in a comparative context, showing how political, cultural and temporal differences have impacted the way in which Marco Polo and Kublai Khan’s dialogues have travelled
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
L’adenocarcinoide dell'appendice. Presentazione di un caso e considerazioni anatomo-patologiche e clinico-terapeutiche.
No full text[Adenocarcinoid of the appendix: a case report and anatomo-pathological and clinico-therapeutic considerations]. Fornaro R, Secco GB, Terrizzi A, Boaretto R, Fardelli R, Canaletti M, Baldi E, Pastorino A, Ferraris R. G Chir. 1998 Apr;19(4):165-9. Cattedra di Semeiotica Chirurgica I, Università degli Studi di Genova. The Authors underline the most important pathological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of appendiceal adenocarcinoid. Appendiceal adenocarcinoid is quite a rare tumor, presently considered as a single entity; it differs from typical carcinoid of the appendix because of its well definite histology, its aggressive behaviour and its poorer prognosis. There are no precise prognostic and therapeutic criteria to direct the operative choice between appendectomy and hemicolectomy. In particular the tumor diameter is of no use since the tumor often present diffuse rather than nodular growth. According to most Authors appendectomy is not sufficient in the following cases: liver lymph-node or retroperitoneal metastases; cecal meso-appendiceal or peritoneal spreading; histological poorly differentiated tumors, with nuclear atypia and high mitotic count. Some Authors performed hemicolectomy and bilateral oophorectomy in all case with peritoneal involvement since the ovaries are a frequent site of metastases
L’emangiopericitoma renale. Considerazioni anatomo patologiche e clinico-terapeutiche. Descrizione di un caso.
No full text[Renal hemangiopericytoma. Anatomo-pathologic and clinico-therapeutic considerations. A case report]. G Chir. 1999 Jan-Feb;20(1-2):20-4. Fornaro R, Terrizzi A, Secco GB, Canaletti M, Baldi E, Bonfante P, Sticchi C, Baccini P, Cittadini G Jr, Fiorini G, Ferraris R. Cattedra di Semeiotica Chirurgica I, Università degli Studi di Genova. The Authors report a case of renal hemangiopericytoma, whose interest is related to the extreme rarity (24 cases reported until today), its insidious growth, the late in diagnosis, its uncertain clinical-biological evolution, not always predictable. Considering chemotherapy and radiotherapy ineffectiveness, an adequate treatment for such a neoplasm requires the surgical therapy, which must
be followed by a careful follow-up
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
