Slow-release lithium in treatment of schizoaffective syndromes.
No full textSchizoaffective disorders are a blurred category of psychiatric pathology in which lithium seems to exert therapeutic effects. The present study was made on patients suffering from affective syndromes with positive schizophrenic symptoms ranging from none to severe. They were hospitalized because of an acute episode, treated with a slow-release lithium preparation (Hypnorex) following the attack therapy and followed up for a mean period of two years. Diagnosis were done according to the American Psychiatric Association diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM III) criteria, while clinical evaluations were carried out on the basis of an original lithium therapy assessment protocol. Lithium was demonstrated to be prophylactic to relapses of affective symptoms, its effectiveness as a whole being proportional to the purity of the major affective disorder. Slow release lithium was found a reliable pharmaceutical tool in both providing therapeutic results and avoiding severe side-effects. The therapeutic range of lithium serum levels was within 0.5-0.6 mEq/l. It is hypothesized that the response to lithium therapy could be a guide in the differential diagnosis between schizoaffective and schizoaffective-like syndromes
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
