Fratura do seio frontal: relato de caso clínico
No full textIntroduction: Fractures of the frontal sinus, representing 5% to 15% of traumatic facial injuries. Non-contrast CT is essential for diagnosis. Classified into five types according to their trajectory, the choice of surgical treatment is based on factors such as location, displacement, integrity of the frontal sinus outflow tract and associated injuries. The goals of surgical intervention include treating cerebrospinal fluid leaks, protecting intracranial structures, and preventing late complications such as meningitis and frontal osteomyelitis. Clinical case report: 26-year-old male patient, referred to the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital for evaluation and management of facial trauma. Seven days after admission, under balanced general anesthesia, the surgical procedure was performed, which consisted of reduction plus fixation with frontal mesh plus five screws of the fracture of the anterior wall of the right frontal sinus. Conclusions: A multidisciplinary approach with neurosurgeon and maxillofacial surgeon is suggested to treat upper facial fractures. Current treatment considers posterior table involvement, frontal sinus outflow tract patency, and anterior table displacement. Early management is prioritized to protect intracranial structures, restore frontal sinus function, and prevent complications.Introducción: Las fracturas del seno frontal, representando del 5% al 15% de las lesiones faciales traumáticas. La tomografía computarizada sin contraste es esencial para el diagnóstico. Clasificadas en cinco tipos según su trayectoria, la elección del tratamiento quirúrgico se basa en factores como ubicación, desplazamiento, integridad del tracto de salida del seno frontal y lesiones asociadas. Los objetivos de la intervención quirúrgica incluyen tratar fugas de líquido cefalorraquídeo, proteger estructuras intracraneales y prevenir complicaciones tardías como meningitis y osteomielitis frontal. Descripción del caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 26 años de edad, remitido al Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso para valoración y manejo de trauma facial. A los 7 días de su ingreso bajo anestesia general balanceada se realizó el procedimiento quirúrgico que consistió en reducción más fijación con malla frontal más cinco tornillos de la fractura de la pared anterior del seno frontal derecho. Conclusiones: Se sugiere un enfoque multidisciplinario con neurocirujano y cirujano maxilofacial para tratar fracturas faciales superiores. El tratamiento actual considera la afectación de la tabla posterior, la permeabilidad del tracto de salida del seno frontal y el desplazamiento de la tabla anterior. Se prioriza el manejo temprano para proteger estructuras intracraneales, restaurar la función del seno frontal y prevenir complicaciones.Introdução: Fraturas do seio frontal, representando 5% a 15% das lesões faciais traumáticas.

Os objetivos da intervenção cirúrgica incluem o tratamento de fístulas liquóricas, proteção de estruturas intracranianas e prevenção de complicações tardias, como meningite e osteomielite frontal. Relato de caso clínico: Paciente do sexo masculino, 26 anos, encaminhado ao Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso para avaliação e manejo de trauma facial. Sete dias após a internação, sob anestesia geral balanceada, foi realizado o procedimento cirúrgico que consistiu na redução mais fixação com tela frontal mais cinco parafusos da fratura da parede anterior do seio frontal direito. Conclusões: Sugere-se uma abordagem multidisciplinar com neurocirurgião e cirurgião maxilofacial para tratar fraturas faciais superiores. O tratamento atual considera o envolvimento da mesa posterior, a patência da via de saída do seio frontal e o deslocamento anterior da mesa. O manejo precoce é priorizado para proteger as estruturas intracranianas, restaurar a função do seio frontal e prevenir complicações
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
