No full textTotal failure of sternal fusion without other developmental anomalies of the chest and abdominal wall is rare. We report on a 52-year-old man with a total cleft sternum associated exclusively with an ostium secundum type atrial septal defect, a large cono-ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, who underwent successful surgical repair of the congenital heart disease and of the sternal anomaly by direct approximation of the freshened sternal remnants to the midline without interposition of tissue graft or inert prosthesis. This technique should be considered and attempted first as a better surgical option even in adult patients
Straddling tricuspid valve as a sign of ventriculoatrial malalignment: A morphometric study of 19 postmortem cases

No full textPrimary cardiac sarcomas constitute a rare entity that have been uniformly associated with poor long-term survival. A case of left atrial leiomyosarcoma involving the interatrial septum and the right atrial free wall and presenting with syncope and atrial fibrillation, is described. Two extensive surgical excisions followed by adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy improved survival with a good quality of life. This approach of combined surgical, medical and radiation therapy may offer better longterm outcome, since our patient is the longest survivor thus far reported
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
