South African Medical Journal, 71:533-534.The original publication is available at http://www.samj.org.zaEosinophilic cystitis is a rare condition, only 41 cases having been recorded in the literature. Glanzmann's thrombasthenia has been documented more than 100 times. The presence of these two conditions in one patient has, to our knowledge, not yet been reported in the English-language literature.Publisher’s versio
Hemifacial microsomia: progress in understanding the genetic basis of a complex malformation syndrome
No full text© Springer-Verlag 2001Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a common birth defect involving first and second branchial arch derivatives. The phenotype is extremely variable. In addition to craniofacial anomalies there may be cardiac, vertebral and central nervous system defects. The majority of cases are sporadic, but there is substantial evidence for genetic involvement in this condition, including rare familial cases that exhibit autosomal dominant inheritance. As an approach towards identifying molecular pathways involved in ear and facial development, we have ascertained both familial and sporadic cases of HFM. A genome wide search for linkage in two families with features of HFM was performed to identify the disease loci. In one family data were highly suggestive of linkage to a region of approximately 10.7 cM on chromosome 14q32, with a maximum multipoint lod score of 3.00 between microsatellite markers D14S987 and D14S65. This locus harbours the Goosecoid gene, an excellent candidate for HFM based on mouse expression and phenotype data. Coding region mutations were sought in the familial cases and in 120 sporadic cases, and gross rearrangements of the gene were excluded by Southern blotting. Evidence for genetic heterogeneity is provided by the second family, in which linkage was excluded from this region.D. Kelberman, J. Tyson, D. C. Chandler, A. M. McInerney, J. Slee, D. Albert, A.

South African Medical Journal, 69(1), 143-144.The original publication is available at http://www.samj.org.zaENGLISH ABSTRACT: A case of hypertension in a young woman caused by an extra-adrenal phaeochromocytoma (EAP) situated in the hilum of the left kidney is reported. Surgical removal of the EAP resulted in control of the patient's hypertension without further drug treatment. The clinical features, diagnostic work-up and management of EAP are briefly discussed.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geen opsomming beskikbaarPublisher’s versio

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
