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
Hemicrania continua evolving from migraine with aura: clinical evidence of a possible correlation between two forms of primary headache.
Full text linkHemicrania continua (HC) is an uncommon primary
headache disorder originally described in 1984 by
Sjastaad and Spierings (1) and characterized by a
continuous, strictly unilateral headache of fluctuating
intensity with exacerbations of more severe pain
usually accompanied by autonomic disturbances
such as conjunctival injection, lacrimation, nasal
congestion, rhinorrhoea, ptosis, or eyelid oedema.
Associated stabbing headaches have also been
described. HC almost invariably has a prompt and
enduring response to indomethacin (2). Remitting
and unremitting forms have been identified (3). This
entity has been included in the second revision of the
International Headache Society (IHS) classification.
Even though migrainous features can be part of HC,
its relationship with migraine without or with aura
has not been clarified.
We report a case of remitting HC with absolute
response to indomethacin evolving from migraine
with aura
Migraine secondary to superior oblique myokymia.
No full textSuperior oblique myokymia (SOM) is characterized
by intermittent, small-amplitude, monocular, paroxysmal,
high-frequency oscillations. These oscillations
are mainly torsional in the primary gaze
position and in abduction and evoke oscillopsia
during paroxysms (1). The term SOM was first used
by Hoyt and Keane in 1970 (2), but the first case
recognizable as SOM was described by Duane in
1906 (3). The pathophysiology of this condition is
not clear. Often the patients are otherwise healthy,
but sometimes vascular compression of cranial
nerve IV may be responsible (4, 5), and rarely it is
associated with other neurological diseases, such as
adrenoleukodystrophy (6), retinitis pigmentosa,
astrocytoma, multiple sclerosis and cerebellar
tumour (7). The disorder may have spontaneous
remissions, which can last for days or up to years,
and relapses (1). There have been several reports
that anticonvulsants, especially carbamazepine,
have a therapeutic effect (8, 9). In recent years,
gabapentin has also been reported to be effective
(10, 11). When medication is unsuccessful, surgery,
involving tenotomy or a tenectomy of the superior
oblique muscle, combined with inferior oblique
myectomy may be performed (1). Recently, surgical
decompression of cranial nerve IV has been found
to be beneficial when vascular compression is con-
firmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but
there is the danger of superior oblique palsy (4).
The choice of treatment is related to the intensity
and duration of the visual symptoms and to the
degree of disability the disorder may have caused.
Pareja et al. (12), in a recent and exhaustive review
of primary trochlear headache and other trochlear
painful disorders, have considered the possible
causes of headache secondary to involvement of the
trochlear region, including superior oblique muscle
myofascial pain, but migraine secondary to SOM
was not reported
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
Cluster headache after removal of crystalline and implant of intraocular lens: mere coincidence or causal relationship?
No full textCluster headache (CH) is a well characterized primary headache disorder. Nevertheless, symptomatic CH has been reported in association with various underlying diseases. Symptomatic cluster headache related to ocular pathologies have been rarely described. We report a case consequent to a surgical operation for cataract
