Non-traumatic rupture of the superior mesenteric vein with hemoretroperitoneum
No full textA case of rupture of the superior mesenteric vein with hemoretroperitoneum is described. The autopsy revealed the presence of an acute pancreatitis and thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery. From the histological findings it appeared that the acute pancreatitis had damaged the venous wall from the outside and that the portal system overload, caused by the superior mesenteric artery thrombosis and the anomalous termination of the inferior mesenteric vein, acted from the inside of the vein causing its rupture. To our knowledge this is the first report of a rupture of the superior mesenteric vein caused by acute pancreatitis and resulting in hemoretroperitoneum
ANOMALOUS ORIGIN OF THE LEFT CIRCUMFLEX CORONARY-ARTERY FROM THE RIGHT AORTIC SINUS OF VALSALVA AND SUDDEN-DEATH
No full textAnomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right aortic sinus is generally considered a benign condition. We report a 53-year-old man with clinical and pathologic evidence of myocardial infarction and sudden death in the setting of this anomaly, with no evidence of obstructive coronary atherosclerosis. © 1994
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
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
