GRADING COLPOSCOPIC APPEARANCE - PAIRED COMPARISON BETWEEN 2 METHODS FOR DIFFERENTIATING BENIGN PAPILLOMAVIRAL INFECTION FROM HIGH-GRADE DYSPLASIA OF THE UTERINE CERVIX
No full textHistologic features of 134 cases of human papilloma virus (HPV) cervical infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) were reviewed and correlated with colposcopic diagnosis on the basis of two different grading methods: International Nomenclature for Colposcopy showed 79.1% predictive accuracy and Reid's improved colposcopic index 86.6% of accurate predictions (significant difference at P < 0.05). Overestimation difference was the most significant, with 23 overestimates in International Classification and 11 in Reid's score (P < 0.01)
Removal or preservation of ovaries during hysterectomy: a six year review
No full textDuring six years (1982-1987) in our Department 965 consecutive hysterectomies were performed: 583 abdominal and 260 vaginal hysterectomies performed for benign indications (total = 843) have been reviewed. Preservation of ovaries was chosen in 234 cases (27.8%), while 609 women had their ovaries removed (72.2%). Indications and choice of surgical procedure have shown more significant correlation with ovariectomy than different age groups and parity. Incidence of subsequent signs and symptoms of menopause and osteoporosis has been detected and compared between premenopausal patients who had oophorectomy and those who had not. In removed ovaries no undiagnosed malignant ovarian diseases were found
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
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
