Renal function up to the 5th decade of life after nephrectomy in childhood: a literature review
No full textThe aim of the present study was to find out if in children ablation of 50% of renal mass may be associated with a progressive renal damage (Brenner’s hypothesis). We collected 1035 adult or adolescent survivors who underwent nephrectomy for unilateral oncological or non-oncological causes during childhood. Stratification of all survivors for age revealed that the number of subjects with blood hypertension and/or renal dysfunction (glomerular filtration rate < 90 mL/min per 1.73 m2) to be significantly higher in survivors ≥30 years old in comparison with younger patients. Available data on long-term renal function after nephrectomy during childhood support the Brenner’s hypothesis

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
