Takotsubo syndrome, neurological disorders, and sex: a dangerous liaison?
No full textSince the dawn of the XX century, some epidemiological observations indicated different patterns among males and females either for health and mortality, as summarized by Judith Lorber and Lisa Jean Moore in the statement “women get sicker, but men die quicker”. Takotsubo syndrome, benign disease for females but life-threatening for males, is a perfect topic for gender-specific medicine, a novel eye looking at the differences among males and females in terms of prevention, signs and symptoms, therapy, and outcome of different diseases, in the view of a personalized and optimized comprehensive approach

Nurses, shift work, and diabetes: should late chronotype be considered as a risk factor?
No full textShan and colleagues show that duration of rotating night shift work and unhealthy lifestyle are independently and jointly associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes in nurses.1 Among the possible determinants of an unhealthy lifestyle, however, they don’t mention disruption of circadian rhythms and chronotype (individual circadian preference)

PERCORSI ASSISTENZIALI IN ONCOGINECOLOGIA
No full textL’assistenza oncologica in ginecologia è un’area delle competenze dell’ostetrica/o. Lo scopo, le
responsabilità e gli obiettivi sono diversi e complessi.
Il cancro viene associato spesso al dolore e alla morte, l’ostetrica/o deve identificare le proprie
reazioni di fronte a tali malattie e fissare obiettivi raggiungibili inerenti all’assistenza della
paziente oncologica. Inoltre, l’ostetrica/o deve sostenere, oltre alla donna, i suoi familiari in tutti
gli aspetti, nei momenti critici dal punto di vista fisico, emotivo, socioculturale e spirituale.
Soltanto negli Stati Uniti le patologie maligne del sistema riproduttivo femminile interessano
274000 donne e sono responsabili ogni anno della morte di 27100 donne.
Malgrado alcune forme di cancro siano difficilmente individuate, un semplice sistema di diagnosi
precoce, indolore e relativamente economico è rappresentato da un esame pelvico e da un
Pap-test annuo. L’ostetrica/o deve incoraggiare le donne a seguire questa pratica facendo in
modo che l’esame non sia fonte di stress e convincerla che è un’occasione per ricevere informazioni,
supporto e rassicurazione
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
