    Objective. Intracameral mydriatics using epinephrine associated with lidocaine have been reported as efficacious in reducing intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) complications during cataract surgery. The aim of this study was to verify the efficacy of intracameral epinephrine without intracameral lidocaine as prophylaxis against IFIS in patients on tamsulosin. Materials and Methods. This was a retrospective study on the results of cataract surgery in 18 patients on therapy with tamsulosin. Patients had undergone routine phacoemulsification in one eye. Successively, they underwent phacoemulsifcation in the fellow eye using non preserved intracameral epinephrine 1:4000 diluted with BSS. Intraoperative complications during cataract surgery had been documented and IFIS was graded based on iris billowing, miosis or iris prolapse. Follow-up was 3 months. Results. Thirty-six eyes of 18 patients were included in the evaluation. The incidence of IFIS was significantly higher in the eyes where routine phacoemulsificaton had been performed (100%) with respect to eyes where phacoemulsification was carried out using intracameral epinephrine (33%) (Chi Square test =15.12, p<0.001). In routine phacoemulsification 16 eyes showed iris billowing, 14 eyes had some extent of miosis and 14 eyes had tendency to iris prolapse. In phacoemulsification with the use of intracameral epinephrine 5 eyes showed iris billowing, 4 eyes presented some extent of miosis and 2 eyes had tendency to iris prolapse. There were no serious intraoperative complications. Conclusions. Intracameral epinephrine without the addition of lidocaine was efficacious in the management of IFIS in patients on tamsulosin

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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
