No full textAbstract
After many years of study and research, the noninvasive assessment of myocardial perfusion by echo contrast agents is becoming a clinical reality. The fast technological progress of echocardiographic imaging and the approval for human use in Europe and the United States of some first and second generation contrast agents explains the growing interest in this new methodology. Recently, a new second generation contrast agent, SonoVue, made of microbubbles stabilized by phospholipids and containing sulphur hexafluoride, has been introduced on the European market. We describe the role of intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography with second-generation contrast agents such as SonoVue in the tailored reperfusion strategies in acute myocardial infarction
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
