Hypertension in premenopausal women: Is there any difference?
No full textHypertension is one of the most important cardiovascular (CV) risk factor, and that lowering blood pressure levels reduces the incidence of CV morbidity and mortality. The higher incidence of hypertension in post-menopausal than in pre-menopausal women raises the attention on the pathophysiological mechanisms potentially involved in post-menopausal ones and outweigh those involved in pre-menopausal women. However, CV disease is one of the leading causes of death in reproductive-age women. Thus, improved awareness, early identification and prompt clinical management of hypertension should be key elements in order to prevent hypertension-related CV morbidity and mortality in pre-menopausal women. However, available data in this specific age group of women are relatively poor and inconsistent, so that the clinical management of young hypertensive women is still debated. The aim of this review is to assess whether there are clear evidences on differences between men and women in epidemiological data, pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic options and therapeutic interventions of hypertension and its prognosis, in order to establish the correct approach to this group of hypertensive patients. © 2014 Springer International Publishing

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
