Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
The abdominal manifestations of the antiphospholipid syndrome
Objectives. To study the abdominal manifestations of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Methods. We reviewed the medical literature from 1968 to 2006 using MEDLINE and the key words: APS, anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant, antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies, catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, liver, hepatic biliary, pancreas, spleen, gastrointestinal and abdominal. Results. Liver involvement is the most frequent abdominal manifestation associated with APS. Various hepatic manifestations have been reported including Budd-Chiari syndrome, hepatic-veno-occlusive disease and occlusion of small hepatic veins, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, hepatic infarction, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, autoimmune hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis. Acute intestinal infarction, intestinal angina, and intestinal bleeding have also been reported in association with aPL in addition to few sporadic cases of splenic infarction and acute pancreatitis. Conclusion. A high index of suspicion for any signs of abdominal involvement should be considered in patients with APS. In addition screening for aPL should be carried out in patients who present with hepatic vein occlusion and unexplained signs of intestinal angina. © The Author 2007.

Ethnic and geographical variation in antiphospholipid (Hughes) syndrome
Investigation of the clinical epidemiology of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is in its early stages. During the past 20 years, studies of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and APS have been made in many countries and ethno-geographical groups. aPL appear to occur in all populations studied, with some variations noted in their frequency and in the clinical complications. Environmental and genetic factors contribute to ethnic variation and susceptibility to APS and thus interethnic differences in disease patterns may be due to environmental or genetic factors, or both.ABUSHAKRA M, 1995, AM J MED, V99, P624, DOI 10.1016-S0002-9343(99)80249-6;

Variations on the Author
“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
We 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
Antiphospholipid Syndrome and the Kidneys
Objectives: To study the relationship between antiphospholipid antibodies and kidney diseases. Methods: We reviewed the medical literature from 1968 to 2005 using MEDLINE and the keywords antiphospholipid syndrome, anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant, hypertension, renal artery stenosis, renal vascular thrombosis, thrombotic microangiopathy, and glomerulonephritis. Results: The renal manifestations of the antiphospholipid syndrome may result from thrombosis occurring at any location within the renal vasculature, that is, in the renal artery trunk or branches, intraparenchymal arteries and arterioles, glomerular capillaries, and the renal veins. The spectrum of these manifestations includes renal artery stenosis and-or malignant hypertension, renal infarction, renal vein thrombosis, thrombotic microangiopathy, increased allograft vascular thrombosis, and reduced survival of renal allografts. More recently nonthrombotic conditions like glomerulonephritis have also been reported. Conclusion: The kidney appears to be a major target organ in both primary and secondary APS. Early detection of renal involvement may improve the prognosis of these patients. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
