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 textSyngnathia: A rare case of maxillo-mandibular fusion in an adult patient
No full textSyngnathia is a congenital bony fusion of the mandible to maxilla involving the pediatric age. it is a rare condition that may comprise soft tissue or hard tissues. according to the literature, to our knowledge, 29 cases have been reported during childhood. This clinical condition is usually discovered immediately after birth, since the child is not able to open the mouth, and is unable to feed himself adequately. generally the surgical treatment consists of multiple procedures to release bony fusion, or debride adhesions during the first few days of life. When the lock involves only the soft tissue, the treatment consists in removal the mucosal synechia, by performing an intraoral approach. To our knowledge, herein we describe the first case of unilateral syngnathia in adulthood. A 27-year-old African male was referred to our Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery of the Federico ii university of Naples in January 2008. The patient reported to have been victim of a direct trauma to the face as a result of an assault when he was child, during the second civil war in Sudan. he was hit with a blunt instrument on the right maxillo-zygomatic region. in conclusion, as far as we know, this is the older patient affected by syngnathia with a suspicion of traumatic etiology, and none of the patients reported in the literature had a traumatic etiology

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
Oral Tongue Reconstruction with a Bozola Flap According to the Ansarin Glossectomies Classification
No full textBackground: Myomucosal cheek flaps are currently considered the main reconstructive option for small to moderate oral cavity defects. Many reconstructive techniques following the resectioning of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) have been proposed over the years. Methods: We report a case of OTSCC treated surgically and reconstructed with Bozola flap, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of this surgical technique. The defect was classified according to the glossectomy classification proposed by Ansarin. Results: We believe that the Bozola buccinator myomucosal flap is a viable alternative to free flaps for the reconstruction of certain oral tongue defects. Conclusions: Based on our experience, the Bozola flap is an appropriate primary option for T1–T2 and certain T3 OTSCC defects (excluding the tip) for I–II and IIIa glossectomies, as recorded in the Ansarin classification
