The importance of physician-patient relationship for improvement of adherence to long-term therapy: data of survey in a cohort of multiple sclerosis patients with mild and moderate disability.
No full textPatient involvement in the improvement of health care is important for the best long-term treatment outcomes. Our objective is to assess patient satisfaction with offered care service and to identify parameters which influence the adherence to long-term therapy. A prospective
single-center study based on the administration of a structured interview to multiple sclerosis (MS) patients attending our MS Centre with mild and moderate disabilities. The interview regarding clinical parameters, quality of life and satisfaction of care service was structured in three parts with
multiple-choice answers to close- or open-ended questions.
Patient satisfaction was evaluated by the concordance between the level of patient attention and judgment regarding
the services offered. The impact of all variables on the adherence to therapy and on the perceived utility of treatment was evaluated. The concordance between patient attention and judgment on health care services resulted statistically significant for almost all parameters. The perceived utility of treatment was significantly correlated to patients feeling confident in the clinical staff, to their perception of
being involved in therapeutic decision (p\0.05), and associated to therapy adherence (p = 0.0001). In a multivariate model, the adherence to therapy resulted associated to possibility of choosing the physician (p = 0.037) and reveals that, to improve the adherence to long-term therapy and the perceived utility of treatment, a particular attention should be devoted to physician–patient relationship
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
Spinal neurologic complications of systemic solid neoplasms
No full textSpinal cord dysfunctions represent a major cause of morbidity and suffering in cancer. There are four main manifestations of metastatic epidural spinal cord compression: pain, motor loss, sensory loss, and autonomic dysfunction. Any of these can be disabling potentially impairing, suddendly and drastically, the quality of life. Epidural spinal cord metastatic compression is the most frequent complication, affecting almost 5-10% of cancer patients. Understanding of early symptoms, clinical course and treatment could contribute to prevent or minimize neurologic deficit development. Early diagnosis is crucial because the most important prognostic factor for functional outcome is neurological function and current treatments usually stop the course of the disease but much less commonly restore lost neurological functions. In this paper we will review the more frequent causes of neoplastic spinal cord dysfunctions, paying attention in particular to early clinical signs and symptoms, to the more adequate neuroradiological investigations and to the more effective treatment options. Furthermore we will underline some aspects and causes of the diagnostic delay and review adjuvant therapies that will ameliorate quality of life of these patients. © Mattioli 1885 Casa Editrice
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
