Aneurismi giganti
No full textGiant aneurysms (> 2.5 cm) represent only 5-7% of all aneurysms. Nevertheless, their management is rather difficult due to their atypical natural history and peculiar treatment. Clinical history of giant aneurysms does not differ from that of the smaller ones regarding the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage, but it is complicated by much more neurologic deficits and by the occurrence of chronic intracranial hypertension syndrome. Diagnosis is essentially based upon CT scan and MR imaging in order to detect the morphological mass features and anatomical relationships, and upon angiography to appreciate characteristics regarding arterial flow and vascular relationships. The goal of treatment lies in the exclusion of the aneurysmal sac from the blood-stream and in the reduction of the mass effect. The treatment may be either surgical, endovascular or both. The most common surgical techniques consist in the direct occlusion of the neck of the aneurysm by means of metallic clips, or by fastening or trapping the carrier vessel or by removing the aneurysmal sac with the reconstruction of the arterial aspect when severe mass effect is detectable. The use of endovascular techniques goes for occlusion of the carrier vessel with balloons or for dynamic study of the collateral vascular districts with temporary occlusions

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
Depletion of calcitonin gene-related peptide in perivascular nerves during acute phase of posthemorrhagic vasospasm in the rabbit
No full textThe behaviour of various neuropeptides during early and late vasospasm following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage has been investigated by several authors. Recently, a reduction of the content of vasodilatory neuropeptides (vasodilatory intestinal peptide, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide) has been demonstrated in the perivascular nerves of cerebral arteries after few days from induction of experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the present immunohistochemical study, the authors investigated secretion and expression of CGRP a few minutes after injection of autologous blood into the cisterna magna of the rabbit. The authors propose that the marked decrease of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactivity in the perivascular nerves, observed after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage, is due to compensatory secretion of the peptide
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
