INFECTIONS IN THE SURGICAL SETTING - EPIDEMIOLOGY AND EFFECT OF TREATMENT WITH CEFOTAXIME IN A MULTICENTER TRIAL INCLUDING 3,032 PATIENTS
No full textHospital-acquired infections still represent a serious threat to the surgical patient. A nationwide survey of 259 Italian surgical wards involving 11,343 patients was conducted in October 1988. Hospital-acquired infections were recorded in 565 (5%) patients: the microorganisms most commonly involved were gram-negative rods (60% of all isolates), 41% of the infected patients presented one or more intrinsic predisposing factor, and 65% had undergone some invasive procedure. The studied group represented 23% of all surgical patients in the country on the days of the survey. Following the epidemiologic survey, an open multicenter study was conducted in the same wards to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of cefotaxime (1 g, 2 or 3 times per day) in the treatment of nosocomial surgical infections. Among 3,032 evaluable patients, 1,295 intra-abdominal, 610 wound and soft tissue, 554 urinary, and 367 respiratory infections were observed. Treatment was judged to be clinically effective in 94% of patients, and side effects, mostly involving the gastrointestinal tract, were observed in 1.4% of patients; hut interruption of the treatment was required only in 19 patients (0.6%). This study confirms that cefotaxime, after over a decade of use, retains high efficacy in the treatment for nosocomial infections and induces a low rate of side effects
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

No full textVariations 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
