American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons position paper: Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws-2009 update: the need to refine the BRONJ definition
No full textWith reference to the 2009 update of the
American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons posi-
tion paper,
Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws
(BRONJ), a relevant modification to the previous classification
has been made and a new stage (0) added. The latter
stage has been defined as “patients with no clinical evidence of
necrotic bone, but who present with nonspecific symptoms
or clinical and radiographic findings . . .” and the need for
various clinical and radiologic aspects in defining this condi-
tion was confirmed.
Adjuvant denosumab in early breast-cancer
No full textWe read with interest the D-CARE trial report by Robert Coleman and colleagues1 on the adjuvant administration of denosumab in patients with early-stage breast cancer. Despite the negative results, which pose concerns about high dose denosumab schedules in an adjuvant setting, this large and well- designed trial can provide useful clinical data that are usually difficult to obtain from observational studies, particularly regarding medication- related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ)

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
Invited review: Fresh pasta filata cheeses: Composition, role, and evolution of the microbiota in their quality and safety
Full text linkWith a global market of around 65.01 billion by 2028. Among these groups of cheeses, fresh pasta filata cheeses, such as mozzarella and fior di latte, are the most consumed. Herein, we provide an overview of fresh pasta filata cheeses, their commodity-related and technological aspects, focusing on the composition, the role, and evolution of their microbiota along the dairy chain

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
L'oltrepassamemto della soglia nelle architetture di MvdR
No full textIl testo indaga le molteplici declinazioni del tema della soglia, assunto in accordo con la formulazione heideggeriana come tramezzo tra ápeiron e péras, nelle architetture di Mies van der Rohe attraverso la descrizione di alcuni suoi noti progetti. Il proposito è quello di mostrare come, a partire dagli esordi espressionisti, la sua ricerca distilli e chiarifichi sempre di più la natura di questo spazio liminare, quasi assente tra l’interno domestico e l’esterno naturale. Il processo di progressivo oltrepassamento della soglia che inizia con il padiglione di Barcellona e nella casa Tugendhat e coi progetti di case a patio e in particolare nella casa a tre corti del 1934 si compirà nella stagione americana con casa Farnsworth, nella casa 50x50 e in casa Resor per poi magnificarsi negli edifici collettivi dalla Convention Hall alla Crown Hall alla Cappella dell’IIT sino alla ricapitolazione della Neue Nationalgalerie di Berlino che elenca i differenti modi di soglia sondati nei progetti precedenti
