Time From First Medical Contact to Aspirin in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: An International Survey of Acute Coronary Syndromes in Transitional Countries (ISACS-TC) Study
No full textBACKGROUND: A significant number of patients who suffer from STEMI do not reach a hospital within the recommended timeframe in the South Eastern European countries. Unequal dispersion of PCI-capable facilities throughout this area results in transport distances that can exceed 100 miles, while response times vary greatly dependent upon volunteer ambulance services.
METHODS: The aim of the International Survey of Acute Coronary Syndromes in Transitional Countries (ISACS-TC /NCT01218776 ) registry was to assess whether initial antiplatelet/ anticoagulant treatment at the point of prehospital first medical contact impacts in-hospital outcomes. To assess the value of this strategy were compared: prehospital versus in-hospital first medical contact; those arriving at the hospital by ambulance versus those whose initial hospital care was an ambulatory/community center.
RESULTS: Of the 2295 patients enrolled in the study, 392 received fibrinolysis, 753 primary PCI, 86 facilitated PCI, and 1064 standard medical therapy having overcome the golden hours for reperfusion therapy. Compared with the in-hospital group, patients who underwent facilitated PCI (7%, n=34) experienced 9.6 % reduction in cardiovascular mortality (odd ratio [OR] 0.096 coefficient interval [C.I] 0.012-0.69 P=0.004). Arrival by an ambulatory/community center incurred a substantial delay from first medical contact to reperfusion (fibrinolysis 76 min [63 min to 105 min] and PCI 35 min [224 min to 612 min]) compared with arrival by ambulance (fibrinolysis 47 min [32 min to 68 min] and PCI 108 min [85 min to 150 min]).
CONCLUSIONS: These findings support prehospital antiplatelet/ anticoagulant treatment followed by reperfusion therapy in patients presenting early with STEMI, who do not have access to hospital care within the recommended time-frame of 60 minutes from first medical contact. Those activating the prehospital medical response system without receiving prehospital ambulance assignment experienced the longest delay from first medical contact to reperfusion, indicating a lost opportunity to enhance ST elevation myocardial infarction patient outcomes
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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

No full textDispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
