Epidermoid cyst of the upper eyelid
No full textEpidermoid cysts are subcutaneous lesions that arise from epidermal cells' proliferation within a confined space and subsequent cystic transformation. They are usually slow growing and have a benign behavior. Clinically, they appear as a smooth, soft and movable lesion and are often asymptomatic. A central pore connects the cyst to the overlying skin that appears smooth. Epidermoid cysts are quite common and can be usually found on the face, head and neck, trunk and genitals. Eyelid are more unusual locations for epidermoid cyst. The purpose of this article was to present and discuss the management of an epidermoid cyst of the upper eyelid in a 58-year-old man
The activity of an oral and maxillofacial surgery division during the pandemic diffusion of COVID-19
No full textThe recent pandemic diffusion of COVID-19 has dramatically changed the routine activity of entire hospitals all over the world. in some regions such as Northern Italy both outpatient and surgical activity of hospitals had to be completely modified to support the enormous quantity of COVID-19 patients' admissions and to limit the diffusion of the novel Coronavirus. As for maxillofacial surgery departments, in such regions the routine activity may have been reduced to manage urgencies. The aim of this article was to present the changed activity of an Italian Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Division, due to the current world emergency
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
