Pervietà interatriale nell'anziano: Quanto può esserne tardivo il riconoscimento?
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart disease where diagnosis is often performed in the late adulthood but the clinical presentation of ASD in the very elderly is uncommon. A case of a 95 year old male where the ASD diagnosis was delayed until present age is reported. This diagnostic delay suggests that very elderly people are often misdiagnosed for two main reasons: comorbidity and new symptoms. This matter that is a common bias at this age underestimation often excludes these patients from important diagnostic procedures
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
