Abstract
Introduction. The use of bariatric surgery as a treatment for obesity has increased dramatically over the past few years. Because the results in obese patients with type 2 diabetes were so impressive, the International Diabetes Federation recommended considering bariatric surgery as an acceptable treatment option in patients with a BMI of 30-35 kg / m2 when diabetes cannot be adequately controlled with traditional therapies.
The aim of the study is to compare the results of bariatric surgery in patients with metabolic syndrome according to the dynamics of body mass index and major orexigenic and anorexigenic hormones.
Material and Methods. The results of surgical treatment of 19 patients with morbid obesity (5 men and 14 women) aged 44 ± 3.26 years with a body mass index ˃40 kg / m2 were evaluated. The control group consisted of 12 patients with normal body mass index and no manifestations of metabolic syndrome.
Results. Our study also demonstrated the positive effect of LGAE on hormonal parameters with a decrease in ghrelin and leptin. This helped reduce BMI by 10.12% after 6 months. At the same time there is an increase in adiponectin and resistin.
Conclusions. LGAE in patients with ghrelin-associated obesity is possible as an alternative intervention, given its good tolerability. Or, as the first preparatory stage of comprehensive surgical treatment in obese patients who are not good candidates for standard bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is one of the most pressing problems of modern pancreatology, according to the authors ranks first among surgical pathologies.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of cytokine profile in patients with abdominal sepsis caused by pancreatic necrosis.
Materials and methods.
The study was conducted in 12 patients diagnosed with abdominal sepsis caused by pancreatic necrosis, in the period from 2017 to 2020 who were treated in medical hospitals in Chernivtsi and Ternopil. The control group consisted of 17 patients without signs of abdominal sepsis and acute surgical pathology. Both groups were representative by age, sex, comorbidities, risk factors. Determination of experimental parameters in the blood of patients was performed in the postoperative period (the results were evaluated before surgery, on the first and tenth days of the postoperative period).
Research results and their discussion.
In patients with abdominal sepsis, a violation of the mechanisms of cell adhesion and costimulatory-cooperative interaction of immunocompetent cells was observed in the preoperative period, as indicated by the low level of CD11a + and CD162 + expression on them. The decrease in the content of IL-6 in the blood with a slight progressive increase in the level of IL-4 corresponds to a moderate imbalance of cytokine regulation of the immune response.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
