Combined transdermal scopolamine and botulinum toxin A to treat a parotid fistula after a face-lift in a patient with siliconomas
No full textA parotid fistula is a rare, extremely unpleasant disease. Patients with chronic pathologies of the facial soft tissues have a high complication rate after aggressive treatments. Alternative conservative treatments have recently been reported for this condition. The case is described of a parotid fistula following a face-lift in a patient affected by facial siliconomas. A 41-year-old Caucasian who had undergone repeated facial silicone injections developed a diffuse granulomatous reaction accompanied by facial disfigurement. Thirteen surgical operations were performed to remove the siliconomas and correct the deformities, the last of which was a face-lift. After this procedure, the patient developed a parotid fistula. Conservative treatment, consisting of a combination of transdermal scopolamine and botulinum toxin A injections, was adopted. These antisialogogues gradually reduced saliva secretion, thereby preparing the wound bed for a skin graft and eventual healing. The choice of conservative therapy, as opposed to a surgical approach, was made to avoid further risks in what was already a highly complicated condition. The use of this conservative approach is recommended to treat complicated cases of parotid fistula

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

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
