Chemoprevention in colorectal neoplasias: what is practical and feasible?
No full textChemoprevention strategies for colorectal cancer have gained increasing attention. Despite contradictory data regarding the use of micronutrients and antioxidant vitamins as chemopreventive tools, the identification of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) upregulation in colorectal adenomas has led to the development of new drugs, named COX-2 inhibitors, that directly target the molecular mechanism of carcinogenesis. Celecoxib, one of the two COX-2 inhibitors available on the market, has been approved for chemoprevention of familial adenomatous polyposis. In the future, we might expect these drugs to be used in the prevention of colon cancer in patients at increased risk, such as those with a positive family history. Copyright 2002 S. Karger AG, Base

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
Choro, a roda e suas relações
No full textNo coração da cidade de Ribeirão Preto um grupo de amigos se reúne em praça

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
