Alcohol-related cirrhosis: The most challenging etiology of cirrhosis is more burdensome than ever
Full text linkCirrhosis and Portal Hypertension: How Do We Deal with Ascites and Its Consequences
No full text: Ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis, with 5-year mortality reaching 30%. Complications of ascites (ie, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome, recurrent/refractory ascites, and hepatic hydrothorax) further worsen survival. The development of ascites is driven by portal hypertension, systemic inflammation, and splanchnic arterial vasodilation. Etiologic treatment and nonselective beta-blockers can prevent ascites in compensated cirrhosis. The treatment of ascites is currently based on the management of fluid overload (eg, diuretics, sodium restriction, and/or paracenteses). In selected patients, long-term albumin use, norfloxacin prophylaxis, and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt reduce the risk of further decompensation and improve survival
Il bacino lacustre villafranchiano di Steggio (Prealpi Venete, Treviso): primi dati stratigrafici ed evidenze neotettoniche
No full textBaryon number nonconservation in a spontaneously broken gauge theory
No full textBaryon number conservation is generally believed to be an exact symmetry because of the extraordinary stability experimentally found for the proton. It is possible however to devise models in which the symmetry associated with the baryon number is no longer an absolute symmetry, without any conflict with experimental results
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
