Republic of Moldova, The 8th International Medical Congress for Students and Young Doctors, September 24-26, 2020Introduction. Now Propolis-containing preparations are widely used in medical practice, due to
their bactericidal, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, regenerative, antioxidant
properties. Propolis is a natural preparation, the most powerful anti-infectious drug known, which
destroy 21 bacteria, 9 species of parasitic fungi, 30 types of viruses (including their varieties). The
development of new pharmaceutical forms containing propolis for the treatment of dermatological
diseases is an important research direction in the health branch for Republic of Moldova.
According to data estimated by WHO, the prevalence of skin diseases remains a current problem
due to the rather high statistical index.
Aim of the study. The formulation and efficacy of the preparations with propolis extract in the
treatment of skin diseases for adults and children. Completing the information level questionnaires
of the population on the efficacy of bee products in medicine.
Materials and methods. Synthesis and study of the data of the specialized scientific literature, the
results of the population interview, as well as the documentation with magistral prescriptions of
the University Pharmaceutical Center (CFU) “Vasile Procopisin”.
Results. Propolis is called a "cocktail" of healing substances, gathered from the buds and from the
bark of poplars, of birch trees, chestnuts, willows, ash trees, blueberries and some species of fruit
trees. In CFU "Vasile Procopisin" ointments were made with propolis extract based on different
excipients: Vaseline, lanolin, polyethylene glycols. The pharmaceutical factors that influence the
kinetics of the release of the active substance from excipients were analyzed. Population
questioning (30 questionnaires) demonstrated the use and efficiency of propolis extract
preparations in the treatment of skin diseases and other diseases, as well as a high degree of knowledge of different preparations. Currently, dermatologists from the Health Institutions of the
Republic of Moldova prescribe for the treatment of skin diseases soft medicinal preparations with
propolis extract, both in the form of industrial preparations and compounded medications.
Conclusions. The use of semi-solid preparations with propolis extract gives effective results in the
therapy of skin diseases for adults and among children. This offers a higher hope of using natural
preparations as compared to those of synthetic origin. The treatment of skin diseases is a
complicated complex, which includes an environment of preparations for internal and topical use

cu conținut de propolis, pentru tratamentul maladiilor
dermatologice reprezintă o direcție importantă de cercetare
din domeniul sănătății ale Rep. Moldova. Gravitatea
bolilor de piele poate fi diferită, de la minore la cele
care pot pune în pericol viaţa unei persoane. Conform
datelor estimate de OMS, prevalenţa bolilor de piele rămâne
a fi o problemă actuală datorită indicelui statistic
destul de înalt.
Scopul lucrării. În acest studiu ne-am propus ca
obiectiv formularea, prepararea, analiza și eficacitatea
preparatelor cu extract de propolis folosite în tratamentul
diferitor afecțiuni ale pielii.
Material și metode. Sinteza și studiul datelor din
diverse reviste medicale și farmaceutice autohtone și internaţionale,
cercetări și date statistice, precum și documentarea
cu receptura magistrală.
Rezultate. Preparatele cu conținut de propolis se folosesc
pe larg în practica medicală, stimulând producţia
de colagen și elastine, cu efecte pronunțate antibacteriene,
antioxidante, antiacneice, regenerante și cicatrizante. Sunt
indicate în infecţii și arsuri, bătături și cheratite, răni
vechi, micoze, negi și aluniţe.
Concluzii. Tratamentul maladiilor de piele este unul
complex, complicat, care include o ambianță de preparate
de uz intern și topic. Estimările efectuate, arată că
medicii din instituțiile medicale din Rep. Moldova prescriu
preparate industriale și magistrale cu conținut de
propolis utilizate în tratamentul topic al bolilor de piele.Introduction. The development of new pharmaceutical
forms containing propolis for the treatment of dermatological
diseases is an important research direction in
the health branch for the Republic of Moldova. The severity
of skin diseases can be different, from minor to those
that can be danger for human life. According to data estimated
by OMS, the prevalence of skin diseases remains
a current problem due to the rather high statistical index.
The aim of the study. In this study we proposed as
an objective the formulation, preparation, analysis and
efficacy of the preparations with propolis extract in the
treatment of the different sections of the skin.
Material and methods. Synthesis and study of facts
from various national and international medical and
pharmaceutical journals, research and statistical data, as
well as documentation with the master’s receipt.
Results. Propolis-containing preparations are widely
used in medical practice, stimulating the production
of collagen and elastin, with pronounced antibacterial,
antioxidant, antacneic, regenerating and healing actions.
They are indicated in infections and burns, bruises and
keratose, old wounds, mycoses, warts and moles.
Conclusions. The treatment of skin diseases is a
complicated complex, which includes an environment
of preparation for internal and topical use. Estimates
which was making, show that doctors from the medical
institutions of the Republic of Moldova prescribe the
industrial and master preparation with propolis used
in the topical treatment of skin diseases
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
