No full textRecently, Ahmad and Lista evaluated the clinical results of 49 patients who underwent vertical scar reduction mammaplasty, analyzing the fate of the nipple- areola complex position. Compared with preoperative markings, they observed that the nipple-areola complex was located on average 1 cm higher at 4-year follow-up, and the average distance from the inframammary crease to the inferior border of the nipple-areola complex had decreased 0.4 cm.1 We would like to report our clinical experience with more than 100 cases of customized lift and reduction mammaplasty by using a inferior dermal flap and either vertical scar2 or round block3 technique
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
Custom-made Reduction Mammaplasty
No full textBackground: Macromastia is a health problem that
requires the coordination of surgical and medical specialists.
Goals of reduction mammaplasty are to alleviate physical,
emotional and psychosocial discomforts and to restore a
conical-shaped breast, maintaining scars as short as possible.
We report our approach for reduction mammaplasty with
superior pedicle. Materials and Methods: Our method
combines advantages of round block with vertical scar, using
a dermal flap that is fixed to the new mammary crease. We
analyzed skin and glandular resection customizing the
mammaplasty. Results: The dermal flap works against the
weight of residual tissue, maintaining the crease at the desired
position with a natural result. Benefits are an excellent
projection, short scar, suitable reshaping and patient
satisfaction. Conclusion: This technique can be used for mild
to severe hypertrophy with various degrees of ptosis. It results
in a successful aesthetic outcome with minimal scarring,
suitable breast remodeling and natural long-lasting projection
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
