ANGIOPLASTICA TRANSLUMINALE PERCUTANEA NEL TRATTAMENTO DELLA STENOSI DELL’ARTERIA RENALE IN PAZIENTI MONONEFRICI
No full textThe authors report 2 cases of patients with single functioning kidney and severe hypertension caused by renal artery stenosis who were treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). In one case an early and persistent improvement of renal function and a reduction of pressure values were observed. In the other patient, with preexistent severe functional damage, a progressive impairment of renal function required haemodialysis. On the basis of these results and of other reports in the literature, PTA is proposed as elective treatment of renal artery stenosis in patients with single functioning kidney

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
