Indocyanine green angiographic findings in young patients with Gronblad-Strandberg syndrome
No full textPurpose - The objective of the present investigation was to define the indocyanine green (ICG) angiographic features of angioid streaks (AS) in young patients with Gronblad-Strandberg syndrome and to compare them with findings on fluorescein angiography (FA) and red-free photographs. Methods: Complete ophthalmological examination, red-free photography, FA and ICG angiography were performed on 6 patients, 4 women and 2 men, ranging in age from 21 to 33 years, with Gronblad-Strandberg syndrome. Results: ICG angiography showed AS in the form of hypofluorescent lines with numerous associated hyperfluorescent foci, The AS were more clearly visualized and were seen to be more numerous and larger by ICG angiography, Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and macular involvement had become bilateral in all of the cases. ICG angiography allowed precise localization of CNV in some cases, but it was not much superior to FA in the determination of CNV and the visualization of 'peau d'orange', Conclusions: ICG angiography provides some information different from FA in the evaluation of AS, but usually neovascular complications and peau d'orange appearance could be seen more clearly in the red-free photographs and FA. The hypofluorescent AS pattern was significantly observed in young patients with Gronblad-Strandberg syndrome. Copyright (C) 2001 S. KargerAG, Basel
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
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
Ro52 antibodies and susceptibility genes in congenital heart block
No full textCongenital heart block (CHB) develops in fetuses of Ro/SSA and La/SSB positive women. During pregnancy, the autoantibodies cross the placenta and affect the fetus in which a potentially lethal atrioventricular (AV) block may develop. This thesis is aimed at identifying clinically useful maternal serologic markers predictive of risk for CHB, and to define genes linked to susceptibility in the child. Ro52-p200 antibodies, binding amino acid 200-239 of the Ro52 protein, was recently suggested by our group as a marker for high risk pregnancies. Performing a multinational study we now show that p200 antibodies are highly relevant as a second step analysis in Ro52-positive pregnancies, and increase the positive predictive value for fetal cardiac involvement.The incidence of CHB in Ro/La positive women is 1-2%. This risk is only increased to 20% in subsequent pregnancies despite persisting antibodies, indicating that there are other factors involved in disease susceptibility than antibody specificity alone. Ro/La antibody levels and Ro52 subclass profiles were investigated longitudinally through pregnancies and revealed no significant differences between affected and healthy pregnancy outcomes. There were no significant decreases or peaks in antibody levels corresponding to or preceding the time point when CHB is usually detected. We therefore investigated differences in fetal susceptibility to CHB. Fetal genetic factors in susceptibility to CHB have been suggested, but not previously investigated experimentally, To investigate MHC and non-MHC associations of the disease, an immunization model of CHB was established in rat. Analysis of MHC and non-MHC genetic influences using congenic rat strains and an F2 cross revealed significant associations with MHC encoded genes. Maternal generation of pathogenic antibody specificity was linked to a specific MHC haplotype, whereas fetal susceptibility to development of CHB was linked to a separate MHC haplotype in the fetus. Patterns of inheritance also indicated a possible epigenetic influence in susceptibility to CHB. Our data suggest complex genetic prerequisites for susceptibility, and explain why simple associations with MHC genes have not been observed in human studies of CHB.The cellular function of the Ro52 autoantigen was also investigated. We show that Ro52 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase and using a panel of Ro52 monoclonal antibodies which was generated, we show that R52 locates predominantly to the cytoplasm. Stimulation of cells with the systemic autoimmune-related cytokine IFN-alpha induced translocation of Ro52 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, which preceded apoptosis of the cells.In summary, we identify Ro52-p200 antibodies as a clinically useful marker for risk of CHB and show that fetal susceptibility to these pathogenic autoantibodies depend on fetal MHC-encoded genes. We also demonstrate that Ro52 is an E3 ligase, and that cytokines involved in systemic autoimmunity regulate the cellular localization of the Ro52 autoantigen.List of scientific papersI.

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

No full textCan archives of audiovisual TV interviews be used to make authors more visible to students, and thereby reduce the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers in college classes? We examined students in a college course who learned about one scholar's ideas through watching an audiovisual TV interview (i.e., visible author format) and about another scholar's ideas through reading a formal text description (i.e., invisible author format). For the invisible author, native language speakers scored significantly higher than the non-native language speakers on a corresponding exam question (i.e., a cognitive measure), generated more words on the exam question (i.e., a motivational measure), and mentioned the author's name more often in answering the exam question (i.e., an affective measure). For the visible author, the groups did not differ on any of these measures. These findings provide evidence for the idea that making the author visible through audiovisual TV interviews can eliminate the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers. 3 Universities around the world serve students who are non-native speakers of th
