Anticipation and Management of Coronary Heart Disease for Hajj Pilgrims
Get PDFBackground: The increasing number of Indonesian pilgrims yearly makes Indonesia the most significant country that sends pilgrims worldwide. But unfortunately, this is not accompanied by optimal health quality. One of the reasons is that most of these pilgrims are elderly and sometimes have suffered from degenerative diseases since they were in Indonesia.Contents: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in developed and developing countries. The pathophysiology of coronary heart disease is closely related to lifestyle and a combination of risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, diabetes mellitus, age and family history.Conclusion: Early intervention on coronary heart disease's causes and precipitating factors can reduce morbidity and mortality, especially for pilgrims. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out good, and continuous collaboration between health workers and the pilgrims not only during the implementation of the pilgrimage in the holy land but has started when the pilgrims register as prospective pilgrims
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Single Coronary Ostium Presented with STEMI: A Case Report
Get PDFIntroduction: Coronary artery anomalies presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are uncommon and often are challenging to manage. We report a case of a successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the right coronary artery (RCA) in a patient who presented with inferior STEMI and an anomaly of the left and right coronary arteries with a single coronary ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva.Case: Male, 71 years old, was admitted to the emergency department with 8 hours onset of chest pain. The patient was diagnosed with STEMI Inferior 8 hours of onset Killip I TIMI score 5. The patient was given a dual loading antiplatelet, high-dose nitrate and statin, then we planned him for primary PCI. Primary PCI was performed on the right transradial through the single osteal coronary artery from the right sinus Valsalva. We got the TIMI flow 3 without other complications during the action.Discussion: It is frequently difficult to identify the culprit lesion during primary PCI. The course of the anomalous vessel and the culprit lesion are clear often; the revascularization procedure hides several pitfalls.Conclusion: Coronary artery anomalies presenting with STEMI are uncommon but often challenging. Percutaneous coronary intervention is considered the first choice in patients with coronary anomaly presented with STEMI
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
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
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
