Myth, Advertising and Redemption in The Desert Fox: The Story Of Rommel (1951)
No full textIt was 1950 and it had only been five years since the end of Second World War. The world had changed and was divided between two antagonistic blocks, led respectively by the United States and the Soviet Union. That year was published the successful biography of one of the most emblematic soldiers in the battle: field Marshal Erwin Rommel; written by the British officer Desmond Young. And, a year later, inspired by this work, the film The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel (1951), which now occupies us, would be shot by Henry Hathaway.How was it possible for the American film industry to portray and glorify a German officer rather than one of their own? The intention was obvious. The past served, in this case, to revitalize the image of the German society and reinstate it to the Western power against the soviet danger. We shouldn´t forget that movies are history agents. Therefore, this article expects to analyze its keys.En 1950 habían transcurrido únicamente cinco años desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Characterization of pharyngeal hypocontractility patterns during deglutition: High Resolution Impedance Manometry findings
No full textIntroduction High resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) provides an objective measure of pharyngeal pressurization and bolus flow and can be analysed using pressure flow analysis (PFA). The aim of the study is to investigate different types of pharyngeal hypocontractility and their distribution in patients with pharyngeal dysphagia.
Material and Methods A cohort study was conducted on patients with dysphagia referred for HRIM. Inclusion criteria were abnormal (<5th percentile) pharyngeal contractile integral (PhCI) or abnormal regional contractile integrals (velo- or meso- or hypo-pharyngeal integrals). PFA was performed on 10ml liquid swallows using the Swallow GatewayTM open access analysis portal. Patients were classified based on a proposed HRIM scheme. The distribution of PFA metrics was compared between patients with normal and abnormal PhCI using the chi-squared test.
Results In total 38 patients were studied and 137 swallows were analysed. Absent pharyngeal contractility was found in 5.3% (2/38) of the patients, ineffective pharyngeal contractility in 68.4% (26/38), and fragmented pharyngeal contractility in 26.3% (10/38). Regional weakness was mainly observed in the mesopharynx (94.7% of the patients), followed by the hypopharynx (50%) and the velopharynx (15.8%). A combined disorder of pharyngeal propulsion and UES restriction was seen in 44.7% (17/38) of the patients. Patients with a normal PhCI (fragmented pharyngeal contractility) were more likely to present an abnormal integrated relaxation pressure at the level of the upper esophageal sphincter (χ2=14.56, p=0.001)
Conclusion Based on the pharyngeal contractile integrals, two main types of pharyngeal hypocontractility are present in the clinical population of patients: ineffective and fragmented pharyngeal contractility. Totally absent peristalsis in uncommon. In almost half of the patients, pharyngeal propulsion disorders are combined to disorders of UES restriction

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
