Recensione a: "Latte e sangue" di Carlo Silini (Capelli, Mendrisio 2019)
No full text"Latte e Sangue" di Carlo Silini prosegue le vicende del precedente Il ladro di ragazze, romanzo storico dalle tinte noir ambientato nel Seicento tra i baliaggi svizzeri e il Ducato di Milano. Scampata al rapimento e alla morte, la giovane Maddalena si troverà coinvolta in una nuova storia di vendetta, nella quale dovrà affrontare la malvagità e la corruzione degli uomini. Oltre ad essere un thriller avvincente e storicamente ben documentato, Latte e sangue ci parla della condizione femminile e della maternità, con uno sguardo che restituisce riconoscenza e dignità a un’umanità altrimenti offesa

Abstract
Primary squamotransitional cell carcinoma (STCC) is rare squamous cell tumor variant resembling transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary tract. STCC occurs rarely in the vagina and its clinical and pathological correlates are poorly known. We report a unique case of a 66-year-old Italian woman with STCC of the vagina. A biopsy of the tumor was performed. The tumor qualified as a STCC. Following biopsy, the patient underwent radical hysterectomy (Piver's III-type) with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, upper colpectomy, appendicectomy, peritoneal cytology, and lymphadenectomy. The patient is now healthy without evidence of recurrence at 30 months after surgery. Pathologically, cytoarchitectural characteristics distinguish this histotype (STCC) from conventional squamous cell carcinoma of the genital tract. The cytokeratin staining pattern (CK7 positive and CK20 negative), the p63 expression and the positivity for p16ink4a and high-risk HPV are the main elements of differential diagnosis. We suggest that STCC of the vagina should be treated by radical surgery, possibly followed by adjuvant therapy based on staging results and should receive a long-term follow-up
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

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Of all female genital tract tumors, 1-3% are stromal malignancies. In 8-10% of cases, these are represented by Müllerian adenosarcoma an extremely rare tumor characterized by a stromal component of usually low-grade malignancy and by a benign glandular epithelial component. Variant that arises in the pouch of Douglas is scarcely mentioned in the medical literature.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 49-year-old para-0 woman, was seen at our OB/GYN-UNIT because she complained vaguely of pelvic pain. She had a mass of undefined nature in the pouch of Douglas. A simple excision of the mass showed low-grade Müllerian adenosarcoma with areas of stromal overgrowth. One and a half year after surgery, at another hospital, a mass was detected in the patient's posterior vaginal fornix and removed surgically. Six months later she came back to our observation with vaginal bleeding and mass in the vaginal fornix. We performed radical surgery. The pathological examination showed recurrent adenosarcoma. Surgical treatment was supplemented by radiation therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: The case of Müllerian adenosarcoma reported here is the third known so far in the literature that was located in the pouch of Douglas. To date, only two other such cases have been reported, including one resulting from neoplastic degeneration of an endometriotic cyst
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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
