Optimising Cancer Medicine in Clinical Practices: Are Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Immunotherapies Affordable for Cancer Patients in Low- and Middle-Income Countries?
No full textCancer immunotherapy, encompassing neoadjuvant and adjuvant interventions, has transformed treatment paradigms in multiple malignancies by leveraging the host immune system to combat tumour cells. While immunotherapies have demonstrated remarkable efficacy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, high treatment costs undermine their accessibility and affordability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper provides a prospective overview of the clinical benefits of neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapies, examines the barriers to implementing these treatments in LMICs, and suggests potential strategies to improve equitable access. Such interventions necessitate a combined effort from healthcare providers, policymakers, and stakeholders to ensure their sustainable integration into global cancer care
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

The Emerging Burden of Genetic Instability and Mutation in Melanoma: Role of Molecular Mechanisms
No full textMelanoma is a severe skin cancer affecting thousands of people and a growing public health concern worldwide. The potential hallmarks of melanoma are genetic instability and mutation (GIAM), which are driving mechanisms for phenotypic variation and adaptation in melanoma. In metastatic melanoma, DNA repair-associated genes are frequently expressed at higher levels than in primary cancers, suggesting melanoma cells rely on genetic stability to spread distantly. The tumour microenvironment is affected by genomic instability and melanoma mutation (GIMM), which plays significant roles in developing GIMM and their contributions to the overall disease burden. The GIAM is the crucial vulnerability of cancer cells, determining their sensitivity to harmful treatments, including radiation and many chemotherapeutics. The high incidence of melanoma is typically associated with genetic modifications, and several clinical and genetic interventions have been critical in easing the burden

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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
