ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH SPINA BIFIDA: PSYCHO-PATHOLOGICAL RISKS AND QUALITY OF LIFE
No full textWe analized the quality of life as perceived by adolescents and young adults with Spina Bifida not only in relation to their physical skills but also to their psychosocial health and well-being. The starting hypothesis is that greater physical disability and the presence of psychopathology are associated to a lower quality of life. It results that adolescents with fewer physical problems have a worse emotional self-concept than adolescents with severe disability.This trend does not make it possible to predict the evolution of psychic disturbance and suggests that, for the treatment and for a good quality of life, it is important to consider each patient’s personal history and life setting in terms of culture, education and family history, with particular attention to how the condition is perceived

No full textA tethered cord (TC) has been reported in as much as 50% of the patients affected by anorectal malformation (ARM). No guidelines for timing and modality of diagnosis and treatment have been established. We present the preliminary results of a multidisciplinary protocol carried out at our center. Seventy-four ARM patients underwent spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All TC patients underwent videourodynamic (UD), somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs), and neurological examination at baseline and, if normal, at 5 and 10 years of age. Conversely, when UD or SEP abnormalities were detected the follow-up was individually tailored at shorter time. 25/74 patients had a neuroradiological TC (33.7%). Based on the results of UD, SEP, and neurological status, four patients were untethered, eight are possible candidates, nine are stable, and four were excluded because of incomplete data. Tethered cord is frequent in ARM patients. Because neurological deficits secondary to TC can contribute to neurological disability, we recommend routine MRI examination and a multidisciplinary program of follow-up in cases of TC. Preliminary results suggest the combined use of SEPs and UD could represent a useful adjunct to clinical examination in patients in whom a "wait and see" approach is preferred to the prophylactic surgery

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
