URETROPLASTICA CON LEMBO CUTANEO LABIALE PEDUNCOLIZZATO NELLE STENOSI URETRALI FEMMINILI
No full textUse of pedicle flap from the labia minora for the repair of female urethral strictures.
No full textWe present the method of pedicle labial urethroplasty for urethral reconstruction in female patients treated for urethral strictures.We performed urethral reconstruction using a pedicle labial flap in 2 female patients (23 and 70 years old) for urethral stricture (posttraumatic and postinflammatory origin). We used as a patch a pedicle skin flap obtained from the labia minora. The pedicle flap is slid beneath the vulvovaginal wall, until the urethra is reached.In both cases a normal micturition was obtained, and cystourethrography after 24 months showed a good urethral silhouette, without residual urine.The pedicle labial urethroplasty seems to be a reliable technique for the repair of urethral strictures
["Post-actinic pelvic disease" and the ureter: the post-actinic ureter].
No full textA retrospective study was done to analyze late urological complications following curative radiotherapy of primary gynecological carcinomas.From 1990 to 2000, 167 patients with primary gynecological cancer treated with external radiotherapy or intracavitary applications were observed. During the follow-up, all signs, symptoms and therapy of late treatment complications were recorded.Most patients with ureteral stenosis or obstruction required surgical correction. Most patients with bladder fistulas were best served by creation of a cutaneous urinary diversion.Ureteral complications after radiotherapy of the pelvis are rare but severe. Surgical therapy of irradiated tissues has a higher complication rate compared to surgery on non irradiated tissue. A cutaneous urinary diversion may be an acceptable and safe procedure when the bladder is definitely compromised

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
