Influence of ibuprofen in closure of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus on the development of acute kidney injury in preterm infants
Get PDFНедоношені дети з гемодинамічно значущою відкритою артеріальною протокою (ГЗВАП) мають високий
ризик розвитку гострого пошкодження нирок (ГПН) у зв’язку із ренальною гіпоперфузією та використанням
для закриття протоки ібупрофену. Мета роботи – оцінка впливу ібупрофену для закриття ГЗВАП на розвиток
ГПН у недоношених дітей залежно від високої дози препарату в перший день життя. Обстежено 40
недоношених дітей з ГЗВАП, які надійшли під спостереження в першу добу життя. Для закриття
артеріальної протоки діти отримували рестриктивну терапію. Крім того, 32 (80,0%) недоношеним у першу
добу життя призначали ібупрофен: 19 дітям у високій дозі (20 мг/кг), 13 дітям у стандартній (10 мг/кг).
Клінічне обстеження та лікування недоношених новонароджених здійснювалось за загальноприйнятою методикою. Ехокардіографія з доплерометрією виконувалася на 5-11 години життя і далі щодня для визначення
ГЗВАП. Діагностика та стратифікація ступеня тяжкості ГПН проводились за критеріями неонатальної
модифікації KDIGO, для чого вивчались концентрація сироваткового креатиніну та рівень діурезу. За результатами дослідження встановлено, що частота ГПН на третю та п’яту добу життя в недоношених з
ГЗВАП, які на першу добу отримали ібупрофен у високій дозі (20 мг/кг), становила 73,7% та 84,2%, відповідно,
що в 2,2 (OR=5,6; CI: 1,43-21,95; р<0,02) та 2,5 рази (OR=10,67; CI: 2,31-49,31; р<0,002) частіше, ніж у дітей
без такої терапії. Висока доза ібупрофену на першу добу життя в недоношених з ГЗВАП найчастіше
асоціюється з розвитком на третю-п'яту добу І стадії ГПН, яка була тимчасовою у третини пацієнтів.
Використання ібупрофену у високій дозі для закриття ГЗВАП у першу добу життя в недоношених дітей

застосуванням фуросеміду.. Premature infants with
hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (HSPDA) have a high risk of developing acute kidney injury
(AKI) due to renal hypoperfusion and use of ibuprofen for duct closure. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect
of ibuprofen for the closure of HSPDA on the development of AKI in preterm infants depending on high dose of the drug
on the first day of life. 40 preterm infants with HSPDA who were admitted for observation on the first day of life were
examined. To close the ductus arteriosus, infants received restrictive therapy. In addition, 32 (80,0%) preterm infants
on the first day of life were prescribed ibuprofen: 19 infants – in high dose (20 mg/kg), 13 infants – in standard dose
(10 mg/kg). Clinical examination and treatment of preterm infants was carried out according to the generally accepted
methods. Echocardiography with Doppler was performed at 5-11 hours of life and then daily to determine the size and
hemodynamic significance of patent ductus arteriosus. Diagnosis and stratification of the severity of AKI were
performed according to the criteria of neonatal modification of KDIGO, for which the concentration of serum
creatinine and diuresis were studied. According to the results of the study, it was established that the frequency of AKI
on the third and fifth days of life in preterm infants with HSPDA, who received ibuprofen in a high dose (20 mg/kg) on
the first day, was 73.7% and 84.2%, respectively, which is 2.2 (OR=5.6; CI: 1,43-21,95; р<0.02) and 2.5 (OR=10.67;
CI: 2.31-49.31; р<0.002) times, more often than in infants without such therapy. High dose of ibuprofen on the first day
of life in preterm infants with HSPDA are most often associated with the development of stage I AKI on the third or fifth
day of life, which was temporary in one third of patients. The use of a high-dose ibuprofen for HSPDA closure on the
first day of life in preterm infants was significantly more often associated with foci of infection in the mother, large duct
size and furosemide use
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
