Diet and Women: A Complex Relationship That We Need to Know Better [Letter]
Full text linkWe read with great interest the manuscript Dietary, Psychological and Lifestyle Factors Associated with Premenstrual Symptoms by AlQuaiz A and coworkers1 and found it extremely important from the point of view of the impact of lifestyle on premenstrual symptoms.
The authors explored the associations of dietary habits, mental distress and lifestyle factors with premenstrual symptoms and its prevalence among women, aged 18 to 50 years, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
They found that several potentially modifiable factors, such as diet, quality of food and stress, were positively associated with symptoms and suggested that increasing women awareness of healthy lifestyles may help reduce the occurrence of premenstrual symptoms

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

Aspirin Use in Patients Undergoing Preoperative Evaluation for Minor Surgery
Full text linkWe found that 505 patients were treated with aspirin (16.8%), 312 men (61.8%) and 193 women (38.2%) (P < .05). In the group of patients treated with aspirin we found that 379 subjects—254 men (67%) and 125 women (33%)—were treated with aspirin according to guidelines for prevention of cardiovascular disease. In addition, 32 patients (all men) were treated with aspirin outside of guideline indications. Seven hundred ninety-eight patients (26.6%) that needed aspirin or antiplatelet therapy due to their cardiovascular risk were not treated, despite having no contraindication or allergy, and 126 patients discontinued aspirin despite appropriate indication
