Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Syndrome: An Updated Overview
Full text linkMesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common form of partial epilepsy in young adults and also the most frequent type of epilepsy reported in surgical series worldwide. Mesial temporal lobe sclerosis (MTS) is the major underlying cause of MTLE, and it is present in 60-70% of patients with MTLE who undergo surgery for treatment of medically refractory seizures. Pathogenetic mechanisms underlying this distinct hippocampal pathology remains undetermined. Recent findings suggest a developmental malformation of hippocampus (inherited or acquired) that in association with subsequent injury (e.g. trauma, infection, complex febrile seizures) could develop ongoing seizures, resulting in the full-blown neuropathological features of MTS. Genetic background, age and type of initial precipitating injury, and vulnerability related to programmed cell death pathways are probable mechanisms involved in the development of MTS. Definitions for medical intractability may vary among centers, but usually include failure to achieve seizure control with two or more AEDs with adequate dosage and posology. The decision as to when one should perform surgery in patients with MTLE is a relevant issue that needs more investigation. Recent evidence discussed in this review indicates that longer duration of uncontrolled seizures is associated with an increased risk of unsuccessful surgery.113141144Cendes F, Kahane P, Brodie MJ, Andermann F.

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
Do Seizures Promote Mesial Temporal Sclerosis?
No full textSeveral studies have shown a significant relationship between a history of prolonged febrile seizures (FS) in early childhood and mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS). However, population based studies have not shown a significant relationship between FS early in life and subsequent temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The interpretation of these observations remains controversial. One possibility is that the early FS damages the hippocampus and is therefore a cause of MTS. Another possibility is that the child had a prolonged FS because the hippocampus was previously damaged due to a prenatal or perinatal insult or to a genetic predisposition. Recent studies have shown that prolonged and focal FS can produce acute hippocampal injury that evolves to hippocampal atrophy and that complex FS can actually originate in the temporal lobes in some children. MRI studies in familial TLE demonstrated evidence of MTS in patients with benign epilepsy and seizure remission, or even individuals who had a single seizure, suggesting that the relationship between MTS and severity of TLE might be more complex than previously suspected. MTS most likely has different causes and results from complex interactions among genetic and environmental factors.93145148Abou-Khalil, B., Andermann, E., Andermann, F., Olivier, A., Quesney, L.F., Temporal lobe epilepsy after prolonged febrile convulsions: Excellent outcome after surgical treatment (1993) Epilepsia, 34 (5), pp. 878-883Cendes, F., Andermann, F., Dubeau, F., Gloor, P., Evans, A., Jones-Gotman, M., Early childhood prolonged febrile convulsions, atrophy and sclerosis of mesial structures and temporal lobe epilepsy: An MRI volumetric study (1993) Neurology, 43, pp. 1083-1087Falconer, M.A., Genetic and related aetiological factors in temporal lobe epilepsy.

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
