Testicular cystic dysplasia: evaluation of 3 new cases treated without surgery
No full textPURPOSE: We describe 3 cases of testicular cystic dysplasia that were diagnosed only by sonography to avoid an invasive approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three patients 5, 8 and 12 years old, respectively, had increased testicular volume and/or intermittent pain. Sonographic examination of the testis by high frequency (7.5 mHz.) probes showed the typical onset of testicular cystic dysplasia, characterized by several small focal or diffuse intraparenchymal cystic formations.
RESULTS: Biopsy or orchiectomy was not considered. At 16, 18 and 24 months of followup, respectively, testicular pain was absent in our 3 cases and sonographic findings were unchanged.
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical and sonographic followup is considered sufficient to evaluate possible changes in the clinical course of this pathological condition which, although benign, still remains to be defined
Disseminated hepatic and splenic calcifications following cat-scratch disease
No full textPatients with cat-scratch disease (CSD) may develop visceral manifestations such as hepatic and splenic granulomas. Normally, the granulomas disappear within 1-5 months. Two previous reports have described the evolution of splenic lesions into small calcifications. We report a case of cat-scratch disease in which long lasting multiple and disseminated hepatic and splenic granulomas evolved into coarse calcification
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
