Retinal angiomatous proliferation treated by intravitreal triamcinolone and photodynamic therapy with verteporfin
No full textPURPOSE:
To examine combined treatment of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP).
METHODS:
Ten eyes of eight consecutive patients with RAP underwent a single injection (about 20 mg) of IVT followed 1 month later by PDT. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured by standardized protocol refraction.
RESULTS:
Median BCVA was 20/160, 20/64, 20/98, 20/89, 20/89, 20/125 at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, respectively. Of ten eyes, six (60%) improved BCVA of at least 3 lines at 1, 3, 6 and 9 months. Four (40%) eyes improved BCVA of at least 3 lines at 12 months. Three eyes (30%) lost >3 lines at 12 months. In all patients intraocular pressure was well controlled. No endophthalmitis, retinal detachment or vitreous haemorrhage developed.
CONCLUSIONS:
Improvement of BCVA suggests that combination treatment with IVT and PDT for RAP merits further investigation

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
