Improving diagnosis in health care: laboratory medicine
No full textAccurate and timely diagnosis remains one of the most complex and challenging processes in medicine. Diagnostic errors pose a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems, with laboratory-related errors playing a substantial role, especially in the pre- and post-analytical phases of the testing process. However, recent innovations have mitigated some key challenges by optimizing workflows and reducing human errors. Notable advancements include automated systems for specimen check-in, preparation, aliquoting and storage for downstream analysis. Technologies such as automated interference detection, alongside sensors monitoring specimen volume and integrity, have enhanced standardization and reliability. Automated sample storage and retrieval systems have improved traceability and retrospective analyses while preserving specimen integrity. In the analytical phase, automation has facilitated real-time anomaly detection, enabling reflex or repeat testing to ensure result accuracy. The multiple integration of different analytical platforms, coupled with automated quality control features, has reduced inter-system variability, minimized manual errors and enhanced efficiency. Advancements in molecular and genetic diagnostics have enabled more precise and personalized treatments, reducing ineffective therapies and side effects. The ongoing deployment of lab-on-a-chip technology, integration of artificial intelligence, and reinforced patient safety culture highlight the vital role of continuous innovation in laboratory medicine to enhance patient safety. However, several challenges remain, including diagnostic errors from test result misinterpretation, poor sample quality, regulatory and compliance constraints, limited data sharing among laboratories, high cost of advanced diagnostic tools and shortage of trained laboratory professionals and pathologists. Addressing these barriers is essential for further safeguarding patient safety
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
