Effects of moderate weight loss on anginal symptoms and indices of coagulation and fibrinolysis in overweight patients with angina pectoris
No full textObjective: To evaluate the effects of moderate weight loss, in overweight patients with angina, on plasma coagulation, fibrinolytic indicies and pain frequency. Design: Single- stranded 12-week dietary intervention, an individualised eating plan with quantitative advice delivered by a dietitian. Target weight loss of 0.5 kg per week. Setting: Outpatient research clinic. Subjects: Fifty-four volunteers with angina pectoris were recruited. Five subjects withdrew, so 27 males, 22 females, mean body mass index (BMI) 29.3 (s.d. 4.3) kg/m(2) and age 60.3 (s.d. 6.5) y completed the intervention. Measurements: Body weight and frequency of anginal pain. Plasma fibrinogen, red cell aggregation (RCA), viscosity, factor VII activity, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity, tissue plasminogen activator antigen (t-PA), plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and insulin. Results: After the 12-week dietary intervention period, mean body weight fell by 3.5 (s.d. 2.6) kg or 4.3% (P = 0.0001), range -11.7 to +1.7 kg. Mean angina frequency fell by 1.8 (s.d. 3.6) from 3.2 to 1.4 episodes/week (P = 0.009) and plasma cholesterol by 0.4 (s.d. 0.7) from 6.3 to 5.9 mmol/1 (P = 0.0001). HDL cholesterol and triglyceride were unchanged. Of the coagulation and fibrinolytic factors, factor VII activity and RCA were significantly reduced by 5 (s.d. 20), IU/dl (P = 0.04) and 1.3 (s.d. 1.3) arbitrary units (P = 0.014), respectively. Conclusions: A conventional dietetic intervention, resulting in 4% weight loss, offers the potential to reduce atherosclerotic and thrombotic risk, and to reduce pain frequency, in angina patients. Given the importance of this result in a public health context, these results indicate that this may be a fruitful area for future nutrition research

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
