Honorary Members of the Polish Society of Nephrology. Part VIII — Professor Gabriel Richet
Get PDFW pierwszym numerze Forum Nefrologicznego z 2013 roku rozpoczęto serię publikacji dotyczących Członków Honorowych Polskiego Towarzystwa Nefrologicznego. Dotychczas przedstawiono siedem postaci wyróżnionych tym zaszczytnym tytułem przez Towarzystwo. Pierwszą osobą był Profesor Tadeusz Orłowski, a w ostatnim numerze Forum przypomnieliśmy postać Profesora Andrzeja Manitiusa. Obaj byli wybitnymi przedstawicielami polskiej nefrologii, a także całej polskiej medycyny. W obecnym numerze przedstawiono postać wybitnego francuskiego nefrologa o światowej sławie, Profesora Gabriela Richet. Profesor pochodził ze słynnej rodziny lekarskiej, dziadek Profesora otrzymał nagrodę Nobla w dziedzinie medycyny i fizjologii w 1913 roku. Profesor Gabriel Richet zaliczany jest do pionierów nefrologii europejskiej i światowej. Był najbliższym współpracownikiem Jeana Hamburgera, stworzył słynny ośrodek nefrologiczny Tenon we Francji. Jest dobrze znany polskim nefrologom, przebywał w naszym kraju i znał naszą historię. Niniejsza publikacja przygotowywana była na nieco późniejszy czas, ale śmierć Profesora w październiku tego roku ją przyspieszyła i jest niejako notą wspomnieniową.The first issue of 2013 of Forum Nefrologiczne initiated the series of publications on the Honorary Members of the Polish Society of Nephrology. To date, we have presented seven figures who have enjoyed the distinction awarded by the Society. The first honorary member to be presented was Professor Tadeusz Orłowski, while the latest issue featured the article about Professor Andrzej Manitius. Not only were both of them renowned nephrologists but also outstanding figures of the Polish medicine as such. This time, we set to portray the world-famous French nephrologist — Professor Gabriel Richet whose grandfather received the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology in 1913. The closest co-operator of the famous Jean Hamburger, Gabriel Richet is among those who are generally regarded as the pioneers of the European and world nephrology. The creator of the well-known centre of nephrology in Tenon, France is also known to Polish nephrologists as he spent some time in Poland and knew the Polish history. This article was originally meant to be published somewhat later, yet Gabriel Richet’s death in October this year precipitated its appearance and changed it into a memoir note
Gabriel Richet: when medicine combines with courage
No full textInternational audienceGabriel Richet, one of the fathers of the French and international Nephrology, was a man remarkable for his courage, vision and empathy. He was proud and brave, and he presented himself proud of being brave. He opens his interview speaking about his youth, when he was injured, and went back to the fight. He cites the number of stitches he received, but doesn't cite being decorated with the Légion d'Honneur, one of the highest honours of the French Republic. This anecdote perfectly illustrates his elegance and detachment from awards and self-satisfaction. Gabriel Richet was a visionary. He was the first one to use the artificial kidney in France. Together with Jean Hamburger and Jean Crosnier at the Necker hospital, he developed the concept of renal intensive care and, later on, he was one of the first to develop the concept of translational nephrology.At a time when medical writing was not acknowledged, he authored almost 400 manuscripts indexed on Medline. He was over 90 when his last papers, dealing with the history of Nephrology, were published, some of them as sole author.In the interview, as well as in his life, he did not renounce to a provocative self-irony. A physician should never give up, he should assume the full responsibility of his actions, and practice medicine with the heart: "I am like the Queen of Holland, whose motto is: I will maintain". In our uncertain, unsafe, fragile and turbulent world, there is no better motto for us all
The Pioneers of Nephrology – Professor Gabriel Richet: “I will maintain”
Get PDFAbstract Gabriel Richet was one of the great pioneers of European Nephrology. After a pivotal period of work with Jean Hamburger, whom we owe the name of our discipline, Nephrology, he contributed to all aspects of this specialty and was, in particular, a forerunner in dialysis and in the study of interstitial nephropathies. In this passionate and lucid interview, recorded in Paris in 2010, he describes himself as a “lucky man”, able to transform folly in happiness. He does not describe himself as an intellectual, but as a warrior, and closes a detailed history of the early days of European Nephrology with a strong statement of the moral stature a physician should have: he underlines, in line with his strong personality, that a physician is a man able to decide, to give orders and to assume their consequences. However, science and care of human beings cannot exist without a heart. “A doctor is someone who decides; when he writes a prescription, this means he prescribes and takes responsibility. Is it possible to give a prescription and decide regardless of compassion?”. In his interview, he commented that this last statement is probably not uniformly agreed, but that he’ll always defend it, adds freedom as a moral value that a physician should proudly defend: “Unfortunately I know that many do not share my idea, but that’s life... I am like the Queen of Holland, whose motto is: I will maintain!”
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
