Curve di crescita standard per la sindrome di Down. Studio retrospettivo in 337 soggetti.
No full textMeasurements of weight, length/ height and head circumference were obtained on 337 Down syndrome not institutionalized children (205 males and 132 females) followed by the medical genetic group from birth to the age of 15 years. The children with chromosomal mosaicism, those affected by cardiac or other malformations and those treated with hormones were excluded from the study.
The karyotype showed a free trisomy 21 in 95 % of subjects
and a translocation trisomy 21 in 5 % .
The means and standard deviations have been derived for
all parameters at various ages and standard growth curves
have been constructed. Such curves were thus compared
to normal controls o f the same sex.
Data from this study show that the mean values of weight,
length/height and head circumference of Down syndrome
males and females are lower than values of normal controls,
but within or at m 2 S.D. A tendency to a overweight was
observed for children with the age between 2 and 14 years.
These curves may be useful in following the Down syndrome
children to identify those who present one or more parameters
not within the Down syndrome range.
The early recognition of abnormal growth is important to
identify diseases not directly connected with the syndrome
Growth and development in Down's syndrome. A series of 337 children from Veneto, Italy
No full textA group of 205 boys and 132 girls with Down's syndrome, raised at home have been followed up at this center from 1970 to date. All were ambulatory and all trisom i c 2 I.
The present study, analyzed data from longitudinal observations on standing height, weight, and head circumference, measured by standard anthropometric procedures and, when available, from the psycho motor milestones. The parental age at birth was also recorded and compared to the controls. All data were compared to those of 2500 and 2300 normal boys and girls, respectively, from the same area (Veneto Italy)
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
