Comparison of bolus only with bolus plus infusion of bivalirudin in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention: A retrospective observational study
No full textBackground: Anticoagulation therapy during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been the focus of numerous clinical trials. Low-anticoagulant doses have been successfully used in patients undergoing elective PCI, a situation with low-thrombogenic milieu. Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of shorter duration of treatment with bivalirudin in patients undergoing elective PCI and receiving optimal antiplatelet therapy. Methods: We compared patients undergoing PCI who received aspirin and clopidogrel loading dose in addition to either conventional bivalirudin dosing (intravenous [IV] bolus of 0.75 + 1.75 mg-kg per h for the duration of PCI; n = 197) or a reduced bivalirudin dose (IV bolus of 0.75 mg-kg; n = 200). Results: Procedural success was obtained in 100percent of cases. The primary end point (in-hospital death, acute myocardial infarction, or need for urgent target vessel revascularization) did not differ between both the groups (6 patients [3percent] in the conventional dose group vs 5 patients [2.5percent] in the reduced dose group). Major bleeding occurred in 1 patient in the conventional dose group (P = nonsignificant [NS]). Minor bleeding occurred in 4 patients (2percent) in the conventional dose group vs 5 patients (2.5percent) in the reduced dose group (P = NS) and was mainly due to bleeding at entry site. Conclusion: In patients undergoing elective PCI, using bivalirudin as a bolus only dosing may be as effective and less costly when compared with bolus followed by an infusion for the duration of the intervention. A larger study is needed to confirm our findings. © The Author(s) 2012

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
Febrile neutropenia and hemorrhagic stroke in a thalassemia major patient
No full textA 36-year-old transfusion-dependent thalassemia major patient presented with febrile neutropenia and anemia. Deferiprone (L1) was discontinued as it was suspected to be the offending agent and prompt broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy was initiated after which the patient improved. After 11 days the patient developed hemorrhagic stroke and seizure whereby aspirin was discontinued and supportive therapy was given. Agranulocytosis is the most serious complication reported with L1 but, to the best of our knowledge, there are no previous reports on hemorrhagic stroke associated with the use of the agent, and hence, the etiology of the stroke which followed agranulocytosis caused by L1 remains obscure.

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
Dispelling 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
