Cimetropium bromide, a new antispasmodic compound: pharmacology and therapeutic perspectives.
The pharmacology and clinical use of cimetropium bromide is reviewed. Experimental and clinical data demonstrated that this new compound is a potent antimuscarinic and an effective antispasmodic drug. It is also endowed of a direct myolitic action which partially accounts for its antispasmodic activity. Clinical trials as yet performed confirmed its efficacy in many painful conditions of the gastrointestinal, biliary and genitourinary tracts, as well as its usefulness as a pre-endoscopic medication. Finally, the drug proved to be well tolerated, with a low incidence of atropine-like untoward effects

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
