Tophaceous lesion of the middle third of the nose.
A69-year-old male with a
history of gouty arthropathy,
came under our observation with
a subcutaneous tophaceous nodule
of the medial third of the
dorsal portion of the nose (Figure
1), which had appeared 3 years
earlier and grew slowly. The
nodule, firm and painless, was
resected following a perilesional
plane of cleavage down to the
deep margin of the lesion, which
involved the joint between the
triangular cartilage and the septum
superiorly, and between the
septum and the posterior side
of the medial crura inferiorly.
Given the rarity of presentation of
such gouty conditions in the soft
tissues of the face1,2 and, to our
knowledge, the case reported here
is the first to occur in the joints
between the cartilages of the nose,
tophaceous lesions can hardly be
included in the differential diagnosis
of swellings of the nasal
pyramid. Moreover, tophaceous
lesions located on the face do not
seem to coincide with a more
aggressive picture of the disease

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
