Causas de no trombolisis en ataque cerebrovascular
No full textIntroducción. El ataque cerebrovascular (ACV) ocupa el primer lugar en frecuencia entre todas las enfermedades neurológicas de la vida adulta, y el tercer lugar como causa más frecuente de muerte. Se aprobó para el manejo agudo, la terapia con activador del plasminógeno tisular recombinante (t-PA) en las primeras 4,5 horas después del inicio de los síntomas, demostrando mayor sobrevida y menos niveles de discapacidad. Sin embargo solo el 5-10% de pacientes reciben este manejo. Por estas razones es necesario conocer que factores se asocian con la no intervención terapéutica. Objetivo. Describir los factores asociados con la no trombolisis en pacientes con ataque cerebrovascular en un hospital de IV nivel en Bogotá, Colombia. Métodos. Estudio analítico de corte transversal, en un centro de cuarto nivel en Bogotá entre enero de 2009 y enero de 2011. Resultados. Se encontraron 178 pacientes en un promedio de edad de 65,9 años (DE± 10 años) con una relación hombre-mujer 1:1, la principal causa de no trombolisis fue la ventana mayor a 4.5 horas, 33,7% (n=60), 26,4% por cambios en imágenes diagnosticas, y 14% por puntajes leves o severos en las escala National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), historia quirúrgica 7.3% y laboratorios 4.5%. El tiempo promedio de atención fue 23 minutos (DE ± 21 min) para la activación del código de ACV, 39 minutos para valoración por neurología (DE ± 25 min), 46 minutos (DE ± 19,1 min) para toma de paraclínicos, 66 minutos para toma de imágenes y 97 minutos para trombolisis (DE ± 21min, DE ± 17 min, respectivamente). Se realizó trombolisis en 17 pacientes, 9,6%. No se encontró asociación significativa entre cultura de organización con trombolisis ni de tiempos de atención con trombolisis. Conclusiones. La principal razón de no trombolisis, fue la ventana mayor a 4.5 horas, no se encontró relación entre cultura de organización institucional con trombolisis. El tiempo promedio de trombolisis fue de 90 minutos. Deben instaurarse medidas para reducir el tiempo de llegada al hospital, y los tiempos de atención en urgencias. Deben realizarse nuevas evaluaciones del código ACV posterior a las estrategias de mejoría.Introduction. Stroke ranks first in frequency among all adult neurological diseases, and it is the third most frequent cause of death. In order to have an acute management, it was approved therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) in the first 4,5 hours after symptoms onset, showing a longer survival and lower level of disability. However only 5-10% of patients receive this management.\ud
These are the reasons why it is necessary to know which factors are associated with non-therapeutic intervention. Objective: To describe factors associated with non-thrombolysis in patients with stroke in a level IV hospital in Bogota, Colombia. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study at a level IV hospital in Bogota between January 2009 and January 2011.\ud
Results: We found 178 patients at an average age of 65.9 years (± 10 years) with a male to female ratio 1:1, the leading cause of non-thrombolysis was greater than window 4.5 hours, 33.7% (n = 60), 26.4% by changes in diagnostic image, and 14% for mild or sever scores on the scale National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), surgical history 7.3% and laboratory 4.5%.\ud
The average time of attention was 23 minutes (SD ± 21 min.) for the stroke code ACV activation, 39 minutes for evaluation of neurology (DE ± 25 min), 46 minutes (DE ± 19,1 min), for making paraclinical issues, 66 minutes for images shooting and 97 minutes for thrombolysis (SD ± 21 min, SD ± 17 min, respectively). Thrombolysis was performed in 17 patients, 9.6%.\ud
No significant association between organizational culture with thrombolysis or service time with thrombolysis was found.\ud
Conclusions. The main reason for not thrombolysis was the window increased to 4.5 hours, there was no relationship between institutional organizational culture with thrombolysis. The average time was 90 minutes thrombolysis. Measures should be in place to reduce the time of arrival at the hospital, and the times of emergency care. New assessments should be performed after stroke code improvement strategies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
