No full textThe role and importance of thienopyridines such as ticlopidine, clopidogrel, and prasugrel is well-established for several indications, ranging from prevention of acute coronary syndromes to percutaneous coronary interventions, where the dual antiplatelet therapy represents the gold standard to avoid de novo coronary stenosis. However, there is a significant cohort of patients with coronary artery disease who may manifest hypersensitivity reactions to thienopyridines. The examination of the various case reports from medical literature leads to identify mainly four clinical patterns of hypersensitivity to thienopyridines which involves more frequently cutaneous, hematologic, and articular tissues, therefore the kind and predominance of clinical symptoms may determine a different clinical approach to overcome or neutralize thienopyridines hypersensitivity
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
Tolerability of Etoricoxib in patients affected by Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs induced urticaria: A single blind placebo study on 37 subjects
No full textIntroduction: To evaluate the tolerability of etoricoxb, a new COX-2 inhibitor, in Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) sensitive patients with urticaria-type adverse reactions. Materials and methods: 37 patients with NSAIDs adverse reactions were submitted to a single blind, placebo controllerd oral challenge with increasing doses of Etoricoxib. Results: 34 patients tolerated Etoricoxib without adverse reactions, but 3 (7%) experienced a generalized urticarial rash. Conclusions: Etoricoxib, as well as other COX-2 inhibitors, represents a well tollerated drug in most of the NSAIDs sensitive patients, despite that, according to our experience, a previous challenge test in a safe enviroment should be necessary before prescibing it to the patient
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
