"Ossiculoplasty with a personal prosthesis"
No full textBiological and synthetic biocompatible materials have been used to perform ossiculoplasty operations.
Biocompatible materials have to respect three physical parameters: weight, density and rigidity.
The Authors suggest a new model of TORP made up by assembling a fragment of homologous rib cartilage with a steel Teflon piston. These materials show low antigenicity, being readily available and modellable during the costruction.
The prosthesis so assembled has the following dimensions: 4 mm in the major diameter, 0,6 mm in the minor diameter, 6,5 mm in the maximum length.
The total weight is 20 mg and is compatible with the biodinamic mechanisms of the inner ear, even if both weight and length can be reduced according to the anatomo-surgical context by cutting the TORP.
The prosthesis has been applied since October 1991 with good functional results at the planned follow-up
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

"La talassoterapia nelle flogosi del distretto respiratorio superiore"
No full textGli Autori hanno studiato l’efficacia della talassoterapia in bambini affetti da flogosi delle prime vie aeree.
MATERIALI E METODI
La ricerca è stata effettuata in tre gruppi di pazienti: gruppo A trattato con talassoterapia; gruppo B, trattato con talassoterapia associata a terapia medica, Gruppo C, di controllo, non trattato. La talassoterapia consisteva in una serie di sedute durante le quali i pazienti erano sottoposti a nebulizzazione collettiva di tempo crescente da 10 a 30 minuti e, dopo un riposo di 15 min., ad inalazione caldo-umida a getto diretto della durata di 3-10 minuti, a 37 gradi. Inoltre bi-settimanalmente i piccoli ospiti venivano sottoposti ad un bagno in piscina per 20 minuti con acqua di mare a 33 gradi. La terapia medica è stata rappresentata dalla somministrazione di ambroxol alla dosa di 12 mg/kg/die in tre cicli di 6 giorni.
RISULTATI E CONCLUSIONI
I risultati ottenuti hanno evidenziato un miglioramento globale delle condizioni nei pazienti dei gruppi trattati A e B, rispetto al gruppo C di controllo, il che dimostra la possibilità di utilizzare vantaggiosamente la talassoterapia nella patologia flogistica respiratoria in età pediatrica.The Authors studied the efficacy of thalassotherapy in children suffering from phlogosis of the upper airways.
MATERIALS AND METHOD
The research was carried out on three groups of patients: group A treated with thalassotherapy; group B treated with thalassotherapy + pharmacologic treatment; group C, control untreated. Thalassotherapy consisted in some collective nebulizations (10-30 min) and , after a 15 minutes rest, in warm-wet inhalations lasting 3-10 minutes at 37 centigrade degrees. Besides young patients took a bath in the swimming pool with sea water at 33 degrees for 20 minutes twice a week. Medical therapy consisted in the administration of ambroxol at the dosage of 12 mg/kg/day for three cicles of 6 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
The results showed a whole improvement of the clinical conditions in children of A and B groups in comparison with control group; this demonstrates the possibility of taking advantage of using thalassotherapy in the phlogosis of the upper airways in children
