Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

ASSESSMENT OF MAXILLOFACIAL TRAUMA IN KANJURUHAN GENERAL HOSPITAL MALANG USING FACIAL INJURY SEVERITY SCALE (FISS) SCORING SYSTEM
No full textHighlights:
• Most maxillofacial trauma cases were mild, based on FISS scoring.
• The average FISS score was 3.37, with most patients scoring 2 (24.7%).
• Larger studies are needed to confirm FISS as a prognostic tool.
Abstract:
Introduction: Maxillofacial trauma is a unique form of trauma that may lead to various facial function disabilities. One method to assess the severity of maxillofacial fractures is the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS). This study aims to describe and evaluate the severity of maxillofacial trauma cases in the Emergency Room of Kanjuruhan General Hospital Malang using the FISS scoring system, from January 2022 to December 2023.
Methods: This retrospective study collected data from patients with maxillofacial trauma treated at the Emergency Room of Kanjuruhan General Hospital Malang between January 2022 and December 2023. The variables recorded included age, gender, etiology, helmet use, type of fracture, and treatment received. Each patient was evaluated using the FISS scoring system to determine the severity level.
Results: A total of 73 subjects were included. The youngest patient was 2 years old, and the oldest was 76 years. The average FISS score was 3.37 ± 1.9, with scores ranging from 1 to 9. Most patients had a FISS score of 2 (24.7%).
Conclusion: The majority of maxillofacial trauma cases in the Emergency Room of Kanjuruhan General Hospital were classified as mild according to the FISS scoring system. Further studies with a larger sample size and a complete maxillofacial trauma database are needed to evaluate the prognostic value of the FISS system

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

No full textLatar Belakang
Trauma maksilofasial merupakan trauma khusus karena dapat menyebabkan gangguan sejumlah fungsi penting pada wajah. Pasien dengan trauma maksilofasial sangat beresiko tinggi mengalami cedera kepala dan leher. Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) merupakan sistem penilaian klinis untuk melihat tingkat keparahan trauma maksilofasial, memprediksi nilai prognostik pasien trauma maksilofasial dan sebagai sarana penelitian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan antara Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) dengan cedera kepala dan cedera leher di RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan.
Metode Penelitian
Penelitian ini bersifat analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Selama kurun waktu April sampai Mei 2018 didapatkan 31 pasien trauma maksilofasial berusia > 18 tahun dan telah dilakukan pemeriksaan Head CT Scan dan X Ray leher dimasukkan dalam penelitian ini. Pasien trauma maksilofasial yang mengalami hematom, ekskoriasi dan memiliki hasil pemeriksaan penunjang yang normal tidak ikut dalam penelitian ini. Variabel pada penelitian ini adalah FISS dan cedera kepala. Variabel cedera kepala dibagi menjadi lesi intrakranial dan GCS. Kemudian dilakukan analisis data untuk menilai korelasi antara FISS dengan GCS menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman dan untuk menilai hubungan FISS dengan lesi intrakranial menggunakan uji T tidak berpasangan.
Hasil Penelitian
Dari 31 pasien trauma maksilofasial ini didapatkan 23 (74,2%) orang laki-laki, rerata umur 25,84 ± 11,45, rerata FISS adalah 3,00 ± 1,43, lokasi fraktur terbanyak pada mandibula 12 (38,7%) pasien, tidak dijumpai cedera leher pada seluruh pasien (100%), etiologi tersering karena kecelakaan lalu lintas khususnya pengendara sepeda motor sebanyak 30 (96,7%) pasien, tidak memakai helm 26 (83,9%) pasien, dan mengalami cedera kepala ringan sebanyak 27 (87,1%) pasien dengan rerata FISS cedera kepala ringan 3,07 ± 1,46. Rerata FISS tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok EDH (4,00 ± 1,00) dan open depressed fracture dengan pneumocephali (4,00 ± 1,45). Uji korelasi Spearman antara FISS dengan GCS menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan (r = 0,276, p=0,133). Uji T tidak berpasangan untuk menilai hubungan FISS dengan lesi intrakranial menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan (p=0,610).
Kesimpulan
Tidak ada hubungan antara FISS dengan GCS dan lesi intrakranial.Background
Maxillofacial trauma is a special trauma because it can cause impairment of a number of important functions on the face. Patients with maxillofacial trauma are highly at risk for head and neck injury. Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) is a clinical assessment system to look at the severity of maxillofacial trauma, predict the prognostic value of maxillofacial trauma patients and as a research tool. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) with head injury and neck injury at RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan.
Methods
This design of this study is an analytical study with cross sectional design. 31 patients who were diagnosed of having concomitant maxillofacial and head injury by appropriate skull X-Ray and CT Scan of brain were included in this study. Maxillofacial trauma patients who were experienced with hematoma, excoriation and had normal investigative results did not participate in the study. Information’s based on age, sex, mode of injury, pattern of facial and head injury, GCS score and type of head injury was taken for each case. The variables in this study were FISS and head injury. Variable head injuries are divided into intracranial lesions and GCS. The data between FISS and GCS were analyzed with Spearman correlation test and to assess the relationship of FISS with intracranial lesions using ANOVA test.
Results
31 maxillofacial trauma patients which consist of 23 (74.2%) males participated in this study. Mean ± SD of patient’s age was 25.84 ± 11.45. The FISS scores was calculated for each patient (average FISS: 3.00 ± 1.43, range 1 to 6. Mandible was the most commonly fractured facial bone (38,7%). Majority of the patients had mild head injury (87,1%) and there was no cervical injury was present in all patients (100%). The most frequent etiology was due to traffic accidents, especially motorcyclists as many as 30 (96.7%) patients and did not wear helmet in 26 (83.9%) patients. The highest mean FISS patients based on the type of head injury was in mild head injury group (3.07 ± 1.46). The highest mean FISS was in the EDH group (4.00 ± 1.00) and open depressed fracture with pneumocephalus (4.00 ± 1.45). Spearman correlation test between FISS and GCS didn’t give statistically significant result and showed low correlation (r = 0,276, p = 0,133). The relation between FISS and intracranial lesions using T independent test did not show significant result (p = 0,610).
Conclusion
There is no relationship between Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) with GCS and intracranial lessions.Tesis Magiste

Expression of αv Integrin in Feline Injection-Site Sarcoma (FISS): Preliminary Investigations
No full textFeline injection-site sarcomas (FISSs) are malignant skin tumors of mesenchymal origin arising at local post-vaccination (or injection) sites. In recent years, a fluorescence imaging technique based on probes targeting αvβ3 integrin has been effectively applied for the surgical complete resection of the tumor. In our study, we investigated the utility of a commercially available anti-αv integrin polyclonal antibody for the histopathological evaluation of FISS’s surgical excision margins. We collected 10 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) feline excisional biopsies with a histopathological diagnosis of FISS (7 fibrosarcomas and 3 pleomorphic sarcomas) and wide margin tissue, along with one subcutaneous injection-site granuloma and 6 osteosarcomas. Samples were processed for histology, and slides were stained for IHC with the anti-αv integrin antibody. Immunostained slides were evaluated for the cellular localization and intensity of the staining in different neoplastic and non-neoplastic cell populations. Neoplastic and non-neoplastic spindle cells had cytoplasmic positivity in all fibrosarcomas. Inflammatory cells, including macrophages of the injection-site granuloma, were negative. Multinucleated giant cells in the pleomorphic sarcomas had an intense membranous positivity. Although the anti-αv integrin antibody was ineffective for the histopathological evaluation of surgical excision margins, the membranous localization of αv integrin in multinucleated giant cells of pleomorphic sarcomas suggests that it plays a role in the oncogenesis of this FISS variant
