Abstrakt:
Najczęstszym zakażeniem wirusowym przenoszonym drogą płciową na świecie jest zakażenie wirusem brodawczaka ludzkiego (HPV). Scharakteryzowano ponad 100 typów HPV, wśród których wyróżnia się typy skórne oraz śluzowe. Niektóre genotypy HPV są przyczyną nowotworów, co podkreśla istotę profilaktyki zakażeń w tym stosowania szczepień przeciwko wirusowi brodawczaka ludzkiego. Poniższa praca ma na celu podkreślenie roli szczepień w prewencji zakażenia HPV, omówienie dróg transmisji tego patogenu oraz diagnostyki i sposobów leczenia.

Abstract
Porphyrias belong to the group of inherited metabolic diseases. Each of the four types of acute hepatic porphyria is caused by a different mutation in the gene of an enzyme involved in the heme biosynthetic pathway. The literature distinguishes between: Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP), Hereditary Coproporphyria (HCP), Variegate Porphyria (VP) and Aminolevulinic Dehydratic ADP (ADP) deficiency - deficient Porphyria). Deficiency of individual enzymes leads to ineffective heme production and accumulation of neurotoxic intermediates - the so-called porphyrins. Two excess metabolites are of major importance in diagnostics - ALA (amionolevulinic acid) and PBG (porphobilinogen). In most cases, the activity of the less functional enzyme is so high that the disease never becomes apparent (latent form). Excessive accumulation of porphyrin precursors is associated with exposure to porphyrinogenic factors, leading to a seizure whose symptoms are closely related to autonomic, peripheral neuropathy, and accompanying neuropsychiatric disorders. In diagnostics, particular attention should be paid to the circumstances of the symptoms and the history of the patient's disease, which often includes numerous episodes of unexplained abdominal pain, which was so severe that it forced the patient to report to emergency departments. A severe attack of porphyria is a medical emergency and requires hospitalization. Failure to diagnose or properly treat it may result in flaccid tetraplegia, respiratory failure, brain edema, coma, and sudden cardiac arrest.
Abstrakt
Porfirie należą do grupy dziedzicznych chorób metabolicznych. Każda z czterech rodzajów ostrych porfirii wątrobowych spowodowana jest inną mutacją w genie enzymu biorącego udział w szlaku biosyntezy hemu. W literaturze wyróżnia się: ostrą porfirię przerywaną AIP (ang. Acute Intermittent Porphyria), dziedziczną koproporfirię HCP (ang. Hereditary Coproporphyria), porfirię mieszaną VP (ang. Variegate Porphyria) oraz porfirię z niedoborem dehydratazy kwasu aminolewulinowego ADP (ang. Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase-deficient Porphyria). Niedobór poszczególnych enzymów prowadzi do nieefektywnego wytwarzania hemu oraz gromadzenia neurotoksycznych produktów pośrednich - tzw. porfiryn. Główne znaczenie w diagnostyce mają dwa metabolity powstające w nadmiarze- ALA (kwas amionolewulinowy) i PBG (porfobilinogen). W większości przypadków aktywność mniej funkcjonalnego enzymu jest na tyle wysoka, że nigdy nie dochodzi do ujawnienia choroby (postać utajona). Nadmierne nagromadzenie prekursorów porfiryn związane jest z ekspozycją na czynniki porfirynogenne, co prowadzi do napadu, którego objawy są ściśle związane z neuropatią autonomiczną, obwodową oraz towarzyszącymi zaburzeniami neuropsychiatrycznymi. W diagnostyce należy przede wszystkim zwrócić szczególną uwagę na okoliczności wystąpienia objawów i historię choroby pacjenta, która często zawiera w sobie liczne epizody niewyjaśnionego bólu brzucha, który był na tyle nasilony, że zmuszał chorego do zgłaszania się do oddziałów ratunkowych. Ciężki napad porfirii jest stanem zagrożenia życia i wymaga hospitalizacji. Brak diagnozy lub prawidłowego leczenia może skutkować porażeniem wiotkim czterokończynowym, niewydolnością oddechową, obrzękiem mózgu, śpiączką, a także nagłym zatrzymaniem krążenia.

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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
