Pericranial flap fixation using titanium miniplates and screws
No full textOpening the frontal sinuses is a common occurrence during neurosurgical procedures involving the anterior cranial base. Obliteration of the exposed sinuses is usually accomplished packing them with various materials and/or covering them with an anteriorly-based pericranial flap. In the absence of more extensive cranial base defects, the flap only needs to be wrapped around the sinus and secured against its posterior wall. We describe the technique for and the results of using titanium miniplates and screws to secure the pericranial flap to the inner surface of the frontal bone. In 10 patients treated with this alternative technique, the pericranial flap provided an excellent separation between the sinuses and the intradural compartment. No cases of cerebrospinal fluid leakage or infections were observed

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
RECURRENT ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATION IN AN ADULT; CASE ILLUSTRATION
No full textWe present the case of an adult with a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) that recurred 6 years after complete surgical extirpation. This 24-year-old man underwent surgery for a Spetzler-Martin Grade I AVM located in the right posterotemporal region, which was discovered during investigation of complex partial seizures
Henoch-Schoenlein syndrome and cerebellar henorrhage: report of an adolescent case and literature review
No full textThe 1901 Palombara Sabina earthquake
No full textThe earthquake of April 24, 1901, known as the Palombara Sabina earthquake, is the most important event (Mw 5.2, I0 8 MCS) with epicenter in the Roman province. In spite of this, the earthquake has been poorly documented to date. The aim of the present work is to update the level of knowledge through a complete reappraisal of the sources, and above all an investigation for new accounts to reconstruct the actual impact on the territory. The results lead to a drastic resizing of the earthquake in terms of lower intensity and, consequently, lower macroseismic magnitude, but also to an improvement of the data supporting the general knowledge. Finally, some new information about the small Sabina earthquake of 1890 emerged during the work
