Results of the surgical treatment of median nerves tunnel neuropathies
Full text linkServiciul Neurochirurgie, Spitalul Regional mun. BălţiIn the majority cases management of median nerve compression in carpal channel comprises in dissection of its anterior wall-carpal ligament. That resulting in enlargement of space in carpal channel ant to decrease on intrachannel pressure. Our results indicating necessity of early decompression and neurolisis for better nerve regeneration. The best timing for surgical intervention is the period from 1 to 6 months onset of clinical symptoms.
Scopul metodelor de tratament chirurgical al compresiei nervului median la nivelul canalului carpian este de a deschide peretele anterior al canalului carpian, care este reprezentat de ligamentul carpian. Aceasta duce la creşterea diametrului canalului carpian şi scăderii presiunii intracanalare. Rezultatele primite indică la necesitatea efectuării unei decompresii şi neurolize timpurii al nervului, care duce la o regenerare mai bună. Optimal este efectuarea intervenţiei chirurgicale în perioada de la 1 pînă la 6 luni de la momentul îmbolnăvirii
Clinical evolution peculiarities of the severe brain contusion focus nidi of the frontal and temporal lobes in the complex of severe craniocerebral traumatism
Full text linkServiciul Neurochirurgie, Spitalul Regional BălţiStudiul prezent reflectă particularităţile evoluţiei clinice a focarelor de contuzie cerebrală gravă de lob frontal şi temporal în complexul traumatismului craniocerebral grav efectuat pe un lot de 61 pacienţi, trataţi în condiţiile Serviciului Neurochirurgie IMSP, Spitalul Regional Bălţi, pe perioada anilor 2004-2008. În rezultatul studiului, au fost evidenţiate 4 forme a evoluţiei clinice al focarelor de contuzie cerebrală gravă de lob frontal şi temporal: „hematomică”, „evolutivă”, „lentă” şi „involutivă”.The present study deals with the peculiarities of the clinical evolution of the nidi of the severe brain contusion focus of the frontal and temporal lobes in the complex of the severe craniocerebral traumatism in 61 patients treated at the Neurosurgical Service in the Public Medico-Sanitary Institution of the Regional Hospital in Balti, during the years 2004-2008. As a result of the study, 4 forms of clinical evolution of the nidi of the severe brain contusion focus of the frontal and temporal lobes have been detected: “haematomatic”, “evolutive”, “slow” and “involutive”
Rezultatele tratamentului diferenţial al pacienţilor cu focare de contuzie cerebrală gravă
Full text linkCercetarea dată, se bazează pe rezultatele studiului a 90 cazuri, verifi cate prin tomografi e computerizată craniocerebrală cu traumatism cranio-cerebral complicat, cu focare de contuzie cerebrală gravă Kornienco gradul III, spitalizaţi în serviciul neurochirurgie Spitalul Regional Bălţi pe perioada anilor 2004-2008. Rezultatele studiului efectuat arată, că atunci când conduita de tratament este bazată pe criteriile tratamentului diferenţial, este prezentă o dinamică pozitivă a eficacităţii tratamentului pacienţilor cu focare de contuzie cerebrală gravă conform scalei Glasgow
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
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
