Effect of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy on long-term neurological function, health state, behaviour, and quality of life in the PNET3 randomized controlled trial of treatment for primitive neuro-ectodermal tumour
No full textObjective: To assess systematically the effect on quality of survival (QoS) of the addition of chemotherapy to craniospinal irradiation (CSI) for treatment of primitive neuro-ectodermal tumour (PNET). Methods: We undertook a cross-sectional multi-informant questionnaire to assess QoS in UK children previously enrolled in the International Society for Paediatric Oncology PNET3 randomized controlled trial (RCT) of CSI (35Gy plus 2OGy boost to posterior fossa) versus CSI plus neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (Vincristine, Carboplatin, Etoposide, and Cyclophosphamide). When comparing the survivors assessed in the present follow-up study, pre- and post-surgical evaluation of neurological function, undertaken at the time of diagnosis, had shown no difference between children in the two treatment arms. Age-appropriate measures of outcome, as assessed by patients, parents, and health professionals, were compared between the treatment arms, using x2, student t-test, or Mann-Whitney U test, in 127/170 (75 %) of survivors at a mean (SD) age of 15.4 (4.0) years and 7 (2.25) years from diagnosis. These are given here for 69 12-17-year-olds for whom the following assessments were employed: (1) neurological assessment by a medical examination form and also by responses of parents to a questionnaire; (2) self-report and proxy- (i.e. principal carer) rated scores for both health status (Health Utilities Index MU [HUI3]), and behavioural problems (the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire [ SDQ]); and (3) quality of life (Paediatric Quality of Life questionnaire [PedsQL]). Results: In 12-17-year-olds allocated to the CSI + chemo arm, relative to the CSI alone arm: (1) Neurological function was more impaired, particularly with respect to physical restriction of activity (n=69, x2 = 10.78, p=0.001); (2) HUI scores were significantly lower both on self-assessment (n=63, U=300.5, p=0.005) and proxy assessment (n=63, U=344, p=0.04), explained by differences in the domain of cognition and dexterity; (3) 'Total difficulties' scores on the SDQ were higher (n=63, t=2.l, p=0.04) on parental assessment with more emotional symptoms. There was a similar trend on self-assessment; and (4) PedsQL scores were significantly lower both on self-assessment (n=63, U=345.0, p=0.045) and proxy-assessment (n=63, t=-2.829, p=0.006) with lower scores for physical health. Differences between treatment arms, showed a similar pattern of significant differences in the 18-24-year-olds (n=38) but not in the 6-11-year-olds (n=20). There were clear relationships between HUI, SDQ, and PedsQL group scores. Conclusions: The addition of chemotherapy to 'standard dose' CSI may adversely affect health status, behaviour, and quality of life. The effect on these measures of reducing the dose of CSI and simultaneously adding chemotherapy (e.g. in the current PNET4 RCT) requires further investigatio
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
