    Studies on Burning Mouth Syndrome in the Past 20 Years: A Bibliometric and Visualised Analysis.
    Kejia Lv, Yongfu Lu, Chenlu Shen, Yanan Yao, Tianchi Chen, Hua Yao.
       OBJECTIVE: Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a common oral pain disorder characterised by a burning sensation without any oral mucosal lesions. The etiopathogenesis of BMS remains unclear. A number of psychogenic and molecular mechanisms have been proposed to explain BMS; however, no bibliometric analyses have compiled the knowledge of BMS. Thus, this study aimed to explore the BMS research hotspots and trends from a bibliometric analysis perspective.
    METHODS: A comprehensive search related to BMS publications within the Web of Science Core Collection database was conducted. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to analyse the bibliometric characteristics of the BMS research from January 2003 to September 2023, visualising the country distribution; author and co-cited authors; journals and co-cited journals; references and co-cited references; keyword cluster analysis; and timelines. We also reviewed related articles to provide references for integrating research frameworks.
    RESULTS: A total of 1080 BMS articles were published in 466 journals, with 34121 citations from 1447 institutions in 75 countries. The USA has made significant contributions to this field, with Nihon University (Japan) and the Mayo Clinic (USA) publishing the most articles. Toyofuku Akira is the most active author. Oral Diseases is regarded as the most productive journal. The top 3 co-citation clusters were cytokines, chronic pain, and therapy. According to the keyword burst analysis, the strongest keywords include stomatodynia, symptoms, and anxiety.
    CONCLUSION: Over the last 2 decades, the number of BMS publications has gradually and significantly increased worldwide. In recent years, research in the field of BMS has focused on studying the cellular and molecular underpinnings. A bibliometric analysis helps develop a better understanding of the pathogenesis of BMS and innovate more targeted therapeutic interventions in this field.

    The 100 most influential articles in mouth breathing. A bibliometric and altmetric analysis: 2002-2021.
    A-O Campo, P Valderrama, M Bravo, A Baca.
       BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify and analyze the most influential Mouth Breathing (MB) articles in children and adolescents with the highest relative citation rates (RCRs), through bibliometric and altmetric analysis, from 2002 to 2021.
    MATERIAL AND METHODS: On March 27, 2023 a PubMed search was conducted to detect papers published about MB. From a total of 826 documents, the article data were downloaded from iCite database. The 100 articles with the highest RCRs were selected for analysis in terms of RCR, citations, altmetric attention score, year, journal, first author (name, institution, country), subfield and design of study. The key words were analyzed using Vosviewer.
    RESULTS: Among the 100 articles, there were no differences between the two periods analyzed for RCR and AAS values, yet 2002-11 was more cited than 2012-2021. There was no correlation between RCR and AAS; but there was with citations. Brazil was the most cited country (n=30). The articles were published in 48 journals pertaining to 8 categories, 44 corresponding to Dentistry. The most frequent study design was the cross-sectional (n=48). Although all subfields were well represented, the most frequent ones were "treatment", "sleep disorders" and "clinical characteristics/cephalometry". The most prominent keywords were "malocclusion" and "cephalometry".
    CONCLUSIONS: Using RCR, a time- and field-normalized metric, one can identify influential articles in MB, a multidisciplinary research field of great importance for orthodontics. Because this bibliometric approach reduces the time from publication to the detection of an article´s importance for readers, it could be a valid alternative to using citation counts.

    Sapir Itzhaki Gabay, Barak Zlakishvili, Yuliya Valdman-Grinshpoun, Amir Horev.
      A substantial body of literature has been published on acne vulgaris (AV) in the past five decades. Bibliometric analysis (BA) is a scientific, statistical evaluation review of published articles, providing a quantitative assessment of past research. The Web of Science (webOS) citation indexing database was used on 11 June 2023 to identify the top 100 cited articles on AV. Articles were listed in descending order by their annual citation (AC). Data sets were then subdivided into senior author, year and age of publication, journal and its impact factor, the number of total citations according to the webOS, corresponding and senior author's affiliated institution, country of origin, manuscript type, study design, and research focus. The top 100 most cited articles were published between 1974 and 2020. The mean number of citations ranges between 82 and 688. The most cited paper was Guidelines of care for the management of Acne Vulgaris by Zaenglein, with an AC of 98.2. The largest number of manuscripts was published between 2001 and 2010 (n = 47). The British Journal of Dermatology had the highest number of published manuscripts (15). Of the original research papers, 28% were of a level of evidence 1, 56% focused on treatment, 19.5% on epidemiology, and 16.5% on pathogenesis. This analysis provides detailed bibliometric characteristics, highlighting the worldwide acne burden, with the hope that future researchers will explore the gaps in the AV literature.

    Juan Yue, Menghai Shi, Mengmeng Gao, Yueyue Niu, Shuaibing Zhou, Hongmin Zhang.
       OBJECTIVE: This systematic review and bibliometric analysis investigated the keywords appearing most in the pregnancy-related eye disease field to elucidate the current state and trends of pregnancy-related eye disease research.
    METHODS: A systematic literature analysis of pregnancy-related eye disease was performed using the Web of Science Core Collection (WOS) databases. We used the keywords "ocular" OR "eye*" and "pregnancy" OR "pregnant" OR "gestation" to search for articles published from 1999 to 2022. Study data were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer and CiteSpace.
    RESULTS: We analyzed 929 articles published from 1999 to 2022. From 1999 to 2012, the article number increased slowly, with a marked acceleration in publication frequency after 2013, original papers accounted for 780 (84%) of the total number of articles published. David A. Mackey was the most prolific writer, and Margaret A. Honein contributed the most citations. The American Journal of Ophthalmology, PLOS One, and the European Journal of Ophthalmology published the most articles. The American Journal of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology, British Journal of Ophthalmology, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science were the four most commonly cited journals. The University of Western Australia, the University of Sao Paulo, and the University of Melbourne were highly prolific institutions. Five co-cited references had a citation burst up to 2022, analyzed by CiteSpace. Keyword analysis (VOSviewer) yielded recent key themes (pregnancy, women, eye, risks and diagnosis) and suggested future research directions.
    CONCLUSIONS: The current results laid the foundation of bibliometrics for scholars and identified researchers, scientific journals, countries, keyword clustering, hot topics, and trends in the literature. High-impact-factor journals contain the most keyword-clustering research and open new horizons for research in the pregnancy-related eye disease nursing field, providing research inspiration for investigators in this field.

    Shanshan Yang, Miaomiao Lin, Shaodong Hao, Hui Ye, Xuezhi Zhang.
       Background: Metabolic reprogramming (MR) in cancer (CA) has been a focus of intense research in the recent two decades. This phenomenon has attracted great interest because it offers potential targets for cancer therapy. To capture the intellectual landscape of this field, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to assess the scientific output, major contributors, and trends in the MR/CA research.
    Methods: We performed a systematic search using the Web of Science to retrieve articles published on MR of cancer from 2006 until 2023. The bibliometric tools such as Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel were used to identify the most prolific authors, institutions, citation patterns, and keywords. We also used co-citation analysis to map the conceptual structure of the field and identify influential publications. Furthermore, we examined the literature by analyzing publication years, citations, and research impact factors.
    Results: A total of 4,465 publications about MR/CA were retrieved. Publications on MR/CA increased rapidly from 2006 to 2023. Frontiers in Oncology published the most papers, while Cell Metabolism had the most citations. Highly cited papers were mainly published in Cancer Cell, Nature, Cell, Science and Cell Metabolism. China and the United States led the way in publications and contributed the most to MR/CA research. The University of Texas System, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Fudan University were the most productive institutions. The profitable authors were Deberardinis Ralph J and Chiarugi Paola. The current topics included MR in tumorigenesis and progression of CA, MR of tumor cells and tumor microenvironment, the effect of MR on the CA treatment, the underlying mechanisms of MR (such as gene regulation, epigenetics, extracellular vesicles, and gut microbiota), and the modulation of MR. Some topics such as tumor microenvironment, lipid MR, circular RNA, long noncoding RNA, exosome, prognostic model, and immunotherapy may be the focus of MR/CA research in the next few years.
    Conclusion: This study evaluated the global scientific output in the field of MR/CA research, analyzing its quantitative characteristics. It identified some significant and distinguished papers and compiled information regarding the current status and evolving trends of MR/CA research.

    Chunjing Du, Yi Zhang, Hanwen Zhang, Hua Zhang, Jingyuan Liu, Ning Shen.
      The lung microbiome has emerged as a pivotal area of research in human health. Despite the increasing number of publications, there is a lack of research that comprehensively and objectively presents the current status of lung microbiome-related studies. Thus, this study aims to address this gap by examining over two decades of publications through bibliometric analysis. The original bibliographic data of this study were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection, focusing on publications from 2003 to 2023. The analysis included the data extraction and examination of authors, affiliations, countries, institutions, abstracts, keywords, references, publication dates, journals, citations, H-indexes, and journal impact factors. A total of 845 publications were identified, showing an increasing trend in both publications and citations over the years, particularly in the last decade. The analysis highlighted the most productive authors, institutions, and countries/regions, and identified potential partners for interested researchers. Co-citation analysis revealed that lung microbiome- and infectious/pulmonary disease-related studies are at the forefront of the field. The hotspots and frontiers of the lung microbiome field have progressed from basic composition to exploring specific mechanisms and the clinical value of diseases. In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the current research status and trends in the field of the lung microbiome over the past two decades and highlights the areas that need more attention and research efforts. It offers valuable insights for researchers and institutions and identifies key hotspots and frontiers, which can serve as references for related researchers and future research.

    Leitong Mo, Ching-Hui Sia, Weiqin Lin, Xifeng Zheng, Kaiyi Peng.
       OBJECTIVES: To perform a bibliometric analysis of publications of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) from 1981 to 2023 to summarize the current publications and explore frontiers on this topic.
    METHODS: We integrated the scientific publications on ARVC in the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database from January 1981 to September 2023, using the retrieval strategy of medical subject headings combined with keywords. We focused on articles and reviews that were published in English. Relevant information such as the journal and publisher, the title, authors, organizations, abstract, keywords, published date, and number of citations, were collected. Bibliometric analysis was performed and visualized by the R software and Microsoft Excel.
    RESULTS: The results revealed a total of 4792 records related to ARVC from the WOS database, and 2992 original articles or reviews which were selected for bibliometric analysis. There were 79 countries and regions, 3724 research institutions, and 12 157 scholars who have published in this topic. The number of scientific publications of ARVC increased year-by-year, with an annual growth rate of 12.12%. We also investigated the top 10 contributing countries, organizations with affiliations, most influential researchers, highest-cited articles, and highest-frequency keywords. In addition, the most active areas of research on ARVC included that of fatal complications, molecular pathological mechanisms, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis respectively according to the keywords trend analysis.
    CONCLUSIONS: Our study reports the publication landscape of ARVC during the past four decades based on bibliometric analysis. This study provides a deeper understanding of the published literature on ARVC.

    Thomas Stirrat, Shankar Thiru, Yumin Gao, Caitlyn Tran, Gregorio Baek, Amy Zhou, Margaret E Greer, Jonathan Garner, Muhammad Umair, Neil Jain, Anousheh Sayah.
       INTRODUCTION: This study explores the evolution of authorship dynamics in Interventional Radiology over a fifteen-year period, with a focus on gender disparities. It aims to illuminate the representation of female authors in high-impact IR journals, highlighting ongoing challenges in achieving gender diversity, especially in leadership roles.
    METHODS: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on articles published from 2008 to 2023, systematically assessing trends in female first and last authorships, as well as their overall contribution to total authorship within prominent IR journals.
    RESULTS: The analysis revealed a fluctuating trajectory in female authorship. Female first authorship peaked in 2011, followed by a decline through 2012-2013, and subsequently rebounded by 2023. Female last authorship exhibited a similar non-linear pattern, with an initial decline from 2008 to 2013, before gradually increasing in recent years. Overall, the presence of female authors in IR publications has steadily grown, with a notable rise in the proportion of publications featuring female authors and an increase in the average number of female contributors per article by 2023.

    Razieh Akbari, Marjan Ghaemi, Zahra Panahi.
       INTRODUCTION: Some women are unable to become pregnant because they do not have a functional uterus. Over the last decade, it has become possible for these women to get pregnant through uterus transplantation, which has been the subject of numerous research studies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to review published articles in the uterus transplantation area.
    MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional bibliometric review to study the 100 highly cited papers in the Web of Science and Scopus databases from 1960 to 2024. Our research applied bibliometric analysis to these top 100 highly cited papers. Document citation and co-occurrence analysis were used for the data study. VOSviewer along with Bibliometrix® software was used to design the maps.
    RESULTS: The trend of uterus transplantation publications increased exponentially after 2010. Sweden is the leading country, followed by the USA and Spain. Fertility and Sterility, Lancet, American Journal of Transplantation, and Human Reproduction were the highly cited journals. Collaboration among countries showed that the most collaboration took place between Sweden and Spain (18), Sweden and the USA (14), the USA and Spain (8), Sweden and Australia (6), and the USA and the United Kingdom (6). Furthermore, the results found that more than one-third of the highly cited papers were review papers (39%) and 27% were clinical trial studies.
    CONCLUSIONS: This bibliometric review provides a valuable contribution to the literature on uterine transplantation by synthesizing and analyzing existing research findings. It offers insights into current trends, key themes, geographic distribution, and potential areas for future research within this rapidly evolving field.

    Yan Sun, Bin Hua, Yan Bai, Wang Zheng, Lin Shen, Wangkang Niku, Yihong Wei, Fan Zhang, Bing Deng.
      To comprehensively review cardiorenal syndrome (CRS)-related research, this study analyzes its whole landscape and future trends from a bibliometric perspective. Using "cardiorenal syndrome" as the key word, a representative dataset of CRS was constructed in the Web of Science Core Collection (Science Citation Index Expanded) database up to November 2023. VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) and R-Studio (version 1.4) were used to visualize CRS-related author and national collaboration networks, hotspot distribution clustering and historical citation networks. The annual number of publications shows an upward trend, especially since 2009. The United States is the most active country and closely cooperates with European countries. Cardiorenal Medicine is the journal that publishes the most CRS-related research. Urology & Nephrology and Cardiovascular System & Cardiology are the most prominent areas of CRS literature output. The leaders in CRS-related research are Ronco C from Italy and Mccullough PA, from the United States. Combined with keyword co-occurrence, theme evolution, and strategic distribution analysis, it was found that centering on the mechanism of CRS (cardiovascular lesions, venous congestion, and fibrosis), prognosis (transplantation, dialysis, hospitalization, mortality) and cardiac function management (b-type natriuretic peptide, diastolic dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy) is a possible research direction for a long time to come. Although CRS has a relatively short history, it has received a lot of attention and is currently enjoying a high level of overall acceptance. In conclusion, this study explores the major research areas, frontiers and trends in CRS, which are important for future research.

    Ricardo Grillo, Bruno Alvarez Quinta Reis, Bernardo Correia Lima, Leonardo Augustus Peral Ferreira Pinto, Fernando Melhem-Elias.
      Bibliometric analysis serves as a potent tool for deciphering the intricacies of scholarly communication and academic impact, contributing to an observable surge in publications of this nature. The objective of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of self-citation in Maxillofacial Surgery (MFS) literature. The retrospective study adheres to the principles outlined in the Leiden Manifesto, utilizing Web of Science and Scopus databases for a robust analysis. Various bibliometric indicators, including H-index, MFS-related articles, and citing articles, are considered, with a focus on the impact of self-citation. The extensive bibliographic search retrieved 70,288 articles, allowing for the identification of 200 prolific authors from 25 countries in MFS literature. Despite potential limitations in sample size and retrospective nature, the study provides valuable insights. Notably, the self-citation rate stood at 46.94%, prompting a nicety examination of its impact on bibliometric indicators. Changes in H-index, exclusive MFS articles, and total publications exhibited low correlations with self-citation frequency, highlighting the complexity of this phenomenon. The study emphasizes the nuanced impact of self-citation on bibliometric indicators, cautioning against demonization and advocating for a balanced and individual perspective. The findings highlight the intricate link between self-citation, high productivity, expertise, and the specific dynamics of emerging research fields within MFS.

    A review and bibliometric analysis of global research on non-pharmacologic management for neonatal and infant procedural pain.
    Xin Chen, Ruoyu Li, Anqi Xiong, Biru Luo.
      Repeated and prolonged exposure to pain can impair neurodevelopmental, behavioral, and cognitive outcomes in newborns. Effective pain management of newborns is essential, but there is no comprehensive analysis of the status of neonatal pain non-pharmacologic management research. Original publications related to the non-pharmacological management of neonatal pain were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) between 1989 and 2024. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to extract information about countries/regions, institutions, authors, keywords, and references to identify and analyze the research hotspots and trends in this field. 1331 authors from 51 countries and 548 institutions published studies on the non-pharmacological management of neonatal pain between 1989 and 2024, with the number of publications showing an overall upward trend. Canada emerged as the leading country in terms of publication volume, with the University of Toronto and The Hospital for Sick Children identified as key research institutions. High-frequency keywords included "procedural pain," "management," "sucrose," "analgesia," and "preterm infant," resulting in 11 clusters. Keyword emergence analysis revealed that "neonatal pain," "analgesia," "oral sucrose," and "oral glucose" were research hotpots. Analysis of highly cited papers showed that the most referenced articles were published in the Clinical Journal of Pain. Researchers' interest in neonatal procedural pain has increased significantly over the past 30 years. This article can serve as a theoretical reference for future research on mild to moderate pain in neonates and infants, and it can provide ideas for exploring novel and secure pain management strategies.

    Disruptive papers - A novel bibliometric tool not yet ready for primetime in pediatric urology.
    Seth L Teplitsky, Katelyn A Spencer, Rebecca Edwins, Lauren E Robinson, Cayla M Robinson, Adan Z Becerra, Amanda F Buchanan.
       BACKGROUND: Historically, word of mouth, total citation count, H-index, and expert opinion were some of the primary metrics used to identify the most influential papers. This method is subject to significant bias. The disruption score was initially created with the intent of measuring the degree to which a publication introduces a new idea, is repeatedly referenced and may be used as an additional publication evaluation metric.
    OBJECTIVE: To use disruptive score, a novel bibliometric index to identify influential papers in pediatric urology.
    METHODS: A customized search was executed using PubMed to identify papers from NEJM, JAMA, European Urology, Journal of Urology, Urology, Journal of Pediatric Urology, and Journal of Pediatric Surgery between 1954 to 2022 to identify pediatric urology related publications. Once accrued, all papers collected were run through a validated data set to identify a disruption score, where the 50 most disruptive papers were identified. The disruption score ranged from 1 to -1, with a positive score representing papers that are disruptive (challenge current knowledge), whereas a negative score represents developmental papers (help support previous publications). The 50 most disruptive papers were then cross referenced with the NIH iCite tool to identify how many times the article was cited and then the most disruptive articles and the most cited articles were compared.
    RESULTS: In total, 12,085 articles were identified and included. The database for analysis of disruption score included articles published from 1954 to 2014, leaving a total of 6544 of the papers for which a disruption score was calculated. Most of the articles identified were published in the Journal of Urology (n = 32) and Journal of Pediatric Surgery (n = 15). Fourteen of the top 50 papers were published prior to 1980 and 7 after 2000. Of the 35 total articles with iCite data available, only 8 articles had greater than 100 total citations.
    DISCUSSION: Many of the most disruptive articles identified did not have a large number of citations, highlighting the need to look beyond citation counts when assessing article importance. While this method was able to highlight some lesser-known articles, it does not appear that these citations are all highly impactful, which may be due to the relative youth of the field.
    CONCLUSION: Disruption score provides a new way to assess the impact of publications within the field of pediatric urology. While novel, we feel this metric should be used with caution in pediatric urology at this time.

       Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) stand as the foremost global cause of mortality, accounting for 32% of total deaths in 2019, with 85% attributed to heart attacks and strokes. Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) exhibit an elevated susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD). In numerous studies, it has been established that genetic polymorphism of genes influences the onset, progression, and complications of coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aims of this study are to employ bibliometric analysis methods for mapping the array of research on genome variability concerning the development of coronary heart disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
    Methods: We derived the data from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database and Scopus on January 6, 2023. All publications from 1987 to 2023 are exported in plain text format for WoS-CC and BibTeX format for Scopus, containing bibliographic information, keywords, and citation information. RStudio v.4.1.2 software (RStudio, PBC, Boston, MA, USA) was used for conducting bibliometric analysis.
    Results: Our analysis of 241 articles published between 1987 and 2023 revealed a consistent increase in research output, especially after 2004, highlighting a growing academic focus on genome variability's role in coronary heart disease (CHD) development among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Key contributing journals include The Lancet and Nature Genetics, indicating high-impact interest in this domain. The United States leads in research productivity and collaboration, with China also emerging as a notable contributor in recent years. Prominent authors such as S. Humphries have significantly shaped the field, contributing to a cumulative knowledge base that underscores the role of genetic factors in CHD among T2DM patients.
    Discussion: Our findings underscore the value of bibliometric studies in guiding future research directions. This increasing scholarly attention to genome variability in CHD and T2DM may encourage deeper investigation into specific genetic polymorphisms and their mechanistic roles in disease progression. Additionally, these insights can help prioritize collaboration across leading research hubs and potentially drive innovation in therapeutic interventions targeting genetic risk factors in CHD and T2DM. Future research could build on these trends by focusing on comparative studies across populations, advancing precision medicine approaches for at-risk individuals with T2DM.

    Drug resistance biomarkers in ovarian cancer: a bibliometric study from 2017 to 2022.
    Sindy Cabarca, Carmen Ili, Carlos Vanegas, Laura Gil, Melba Vertel-Morrinson, Priscilla Brebi.
       Background: Late diagnosis and patient relapse, mainly due to chemoresistance, are the key reasons for the high mortality rate of ovarian cancer patients. Hence, the search for biomarkers of high predictive value within the phenomenon of chemoresistance is vital. This study performs a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature concerning biomarkers of drug resistance in ovarian cancer, considering the period from 2017 to 2022.
    Methods: The terms "drug resistance biomarker" and "ovarian cancer" were linked by the Boolean operator "AND". The search was done in PubMed, selecting documents published over the last 5 years (2017-2022), which were analyzed with the open-source tool Bibliometrix developed in the R package. The language of the publications was restricted to English. Several types of papers such as case reports, clinical trials, comparative studies, and original articles were considered.
    Results: A total of 335 scientific articles were analyzed. The United States and China were the leading contributors and established the largest number of scientific collaborations. The Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center were the most influential institutions. The Journal of Ovarian Research, International Journal of Molecular Science, and Scientific Reports are among the most relevant journals. The study identified high-profile, relevant thematic niches and important descriptors that indicate topics of interest, including studies on women, cell lines, solid tumors, and gene expression regulation. As well as studies involving middle-aged and adult participants, and those focusing on prognosis evaluation. Descriptors such as "drug resistance," "neoplasm," "genetics," "biomarker," "gene expression profile," and "drug therapy" would indicate new research trends. In addition, we propose that BCL-2, CHRF, SNAIL, miR-363, iASPP, ALDH1, Fzd7, and EZH2 are potential biomarkers of drug resistance.
    Conclusions: This paper contributes to the global analysis of the scientific investigation related to drug resistance biomarkers in ovarian cancer to facilitate further studies and collaborative networks, which may lead to future improvements in therapy for this lethal disease.

    Gender disparity among top North American medical schools and their affiliated radiology departments: Medical school vs Radiology - Gender Diverse?
    Shukria Ahmadi, Ishraq Joarder, Lara K Rotter, Mehwish Hussain, Charlotte J Yong-Hing, Stacy E Smith, Faisal Khosa.
       PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the degree of gender disparity in leadership positions at the top 25 medical schools in North America compared to their affiliated radiology departments.
    METHODS: The academic rank and leadership appointment of medical school and radiology faculty were obtained from publicly available official websites between June-November 2022. Gender was determined using self-identified pronouns on website biographies. Alternatively, gender API software was used. Finally, SCOPUS Elsevier was used to extract research output metrics including publication counts, citations, and h-indices. Statistical analysis was conducted using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 25 software.
    RESULTS: 2216 individuals across 25 medical schools were included in this study. 1301 (58.7 %) were part of the medical school and 915 (41.3 %) were part of the affiliated radiology departments. Additionally, 1575 (71.1 %) were identified as men and 641 (28.9 %) as women. Rank biserial correlations showed a significant association between higher academic rank and male gender (rpb = 0.143, p < 0.001) regardless of affiliation (medical school leadership versus radiology faculty); this disparity was largest at the highest academic ranks. Male gender was associated with higher research productivity relative to female gender regardless of affiliation (p < 0.001). There were minimal statistical differences in leadership positions between genders, however the proportion of men holding the position of dean was two times higher than women.
    CONCLUSION: The underrepresentation of women in academic medicine is prevalent in the top-ranking medical institutions in North America and disproportionately involves senior academic ranks and leadership positions.

    Ana Sophia Angulo Medina, Maria Isabel Aguilar Bonilla, Ingrid Daniela Rodríguez Giraldo, John Fernando Montenegro Palacios, Danilo Andrés Cáceres Gutiérrez, Yamil Liscano.
      EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have gained significant attention in rehabilitation due to their non-invasive, accessible ability to capture brain activity and restore neurological functions in patients with conditions such as stroke and spinal cord injuries. This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global EEG-based BCI research in rehabilitation from 2013 to 2023. It focuses on primary research and review articles addressing technological innovations, effectiveness, and system advancements in clinical rehabilitation. Data were sourced from databases like Web of Science, and bibliometric tools (bibliometrix R) were used to analyze publication trends, geographic distribution, keyword co-occurrences, and collaboration networks. The results reveal a rapid increase in EEG-BCI research, peaking in 2022, with a primary focus on motor and sensory rehabilitation. EEG remains the most commonly used method, with significant contributions from Asia, Europe, and North America. Additionally, there is growing interest in applying BCIs to mental health, as well as integrating artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning, to enhance system accuracy and adaptability. However, challenges remain, such as system inefficiencies and slow learning curves. These could be addressed by incorporating multi-modal approaches and advanced neuroimaging technologies. Further research is needed to validate the applicability of EEG-BCI advancements in both cognitive and motor rehabilitation, especially considering the high global prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases. To advance the field, expanding global participation, particularly in underrepresented regions like Latin America, is essential. Improving system efficiency through multi-modal approaches and AI integration is also critical. Ethical considerations, including data privacy, transparency, and equitable access to BCI technologies, must be prioritized to ensure the inclusive development and use of these technologies across diverse socioeconomic groups.

    Exploring how AI adoption in the workplace affects employees: a bibliometric and systematic review.
    Malika Soulami, Saad Benchekroun, Asiya Galiulina.
       Introduction: The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace is changing the way organizations function, and profoundly affecting employees. These organizational changes raise crucial questions about the employee's future and well-being. Our study aims to explore the intersection between artificial intelligence and employee well-being through a bibliometric review and a contextual analysis.
    Methodology: Carried out in May 2024, our study is divided into two phases. The first phase, dedicated to bibliometric review, was conducted using the PRISMA method, and explored the Scopus and Web of Science databases for the period from 2015 to 2024. A total of 92 articles were selected for quantitative analysis using VOSviewer software. The second phase is based on an in-depth systematic analysis of 25 articles selected from those previously identified. These articles were selected on the basis of their relevance to the research question, and were subjected to in-depth thematic analysis using NVivo software.
    Results: The bibliometric analysis results reveal a significant increase in publications starting from the year 2020, highlighting advancements in research, primarily in the United States and China. The co-occurrence analysis identifies four main clusters: ethics, work autonomy, employee stress, and mental health, thus illustrating the dynamics created by artificial intelligence in the professional environment. Furthermore, the systematic analysis has brought to light theoretical gaps and under-explored areas, such as the need to conduct empirical studies in non-Western cultural contexts and among diverse target groups, including older adults, individuals of different sexes, people with low education levels, and participants from various sectors, including primary and secondary industries, small manufacturing businesses, call centers, as well as public and private healthcare sectors.
    Conclusion: Existing literature emphasize the importance for organizations to implement supportive strategies aimed at mitigating the potential adverse effects of AI on employee well-being, while also leveraging its benefits to enhance workplace autonomy and satisfaction and promote AI-enabled innovation through employee creativity and self-efficacy.

      Journal impact factors were devised to qualify and compare university library holdings but are frequently repurposed for use in ranking applications, research papers, and even individual applicants in mycology and beyond. The widely held assumption that mycological studies published in journals with high impact factors add more to systematic mycology than studies published in journals without high impact factors nevertheless lacks evidential underpinning. The present study uses the species hypothesis system of the UNITE database for molecular identification of fungi and other eukaryotes to trace the publication history and impact factor of sequences uncovering new fungal species hypotheses. The data show that journal impact factors are poor predictors of discovery potential in systematic mycology. There is no clear relationship between journal impact factor and the discovery of new species hypotheses for the years 2000-2021. On the contrary, we found journals with low, and even no, impact factor to account for substantial parts of the species hypothesis landscape, often discovering new fungal taxa that are only later picked up by journals with high impact factors. Funding agencies and hiring committees that insist on upholding journal impact factors as a central funding and recruitment criterion in systematic mycology should consider using indicators such as research quality, productivity, outreach activities, review services for scientific journals, and teaching ability directly rather than using publication in high impact factor journals as a proxy for these indicators.

    Citational politics in and through animal geographies: interrogating onto-epistemological diversity.
    Kathryn, Krithika, Rosemary.
      This paper contributes to geographic literature on the effects of inequity in citational practice and politics, focusing in particular on onto-epistemological diversity (or lack thereof) in animal geographies' citational structures. Through a bibliometric analysis of journal articles in Anglophone animal geographies (as a subdiscipline of human geography), we examine the intersections between citational trends, the contours of knowledge in the field and everyday academic lives. Our goal in this paper is to highlight some of the ways in which citational inequities are fueled. Specifically, our analysis shows that within Anglophone animal geographies, citational esteem can accrue through institutional networks and shared onto-epistemologies, which often go along with ethical and political orientations that refrain from explicitly contesting the status-quo of anthropocentrism. We ground our analysis with a reflective discussion of everyday academic practice to understand the multi-scalar dynamics and implications of citational politics and prompt heightened reflexivity among geographers concerning how animal and other geographies are constructed and reproduced - and how these reproductions can be contested.

    The Unique Immune System of Bats: An Evolutionary Analysis and Bibliometric Study.
    Rui Li, Wenliang Zhao, Apeng Chen, Zhiqiang Wu, Gejing De.
      Bats exhibit a greater capacity to tolerate diverse viruses than other terrestrial mammals. To address these questions, we utilized evolutionary and bibliometric analyses to explore the immunological characteristics of bats and identify contemporary research hotspots in bat immunity. To investigate the historical interactions between bats and viral infections, we used tBLASTn software to identify the integrated endogenous retroviruses within the genomes of nine bat species and seven other mammals. To elucidate the immune characteristics of bats, we used the OrthoFinder, CAFE, and Gene Ontology analyses to identify the phylogenetic trees and homologous genes, expanded/contracted gene families, and associated signaling pathways of 28 mammalian genomes. We also used a bibliometric analysis of the "immune system of bats" to identify research hotspots and deepen our understanding of the immune mechanisms in bats. Significant integrations of Gammaretroviruses, Spumaretroviruses, and Deltaretroviruses were observed within bat genomes. Notable expansions in gene families included Type III interferon, heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90), and members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). These expanded gene families are involved in signaling pathways related to "transcription and replication of influenza virus RNA," "COVID-19-related pathways," and "positive regulation of protein phosphorylation." Notable contractions were observed in the "type I interferon" and "antibody-related gene families." Bibliometric analysis further underscored the several significance of critical immune genes, such as HSP90, Type I interferon, Type III interferon, and TNF. The exploration of research hotspots revealed two predominant themes: "efficient and varied antiviral responses" and "dampened inflammation to prevent excessive inflammatory reactions," thereby elucidating the mechanisms underlying the immune adaptations of bats. Through the evolutionary and bibliometric analyses, we identified several critical immune genes and signaling pathways related to bat immunity. Currently, research on the immune system of bats primarily focuses on the themes of "efficient antiviral responses" and "inflammation suppression."

    A scientometric investigation on the impact of the PhyloCode proposal on the scientific literature.
    Daniel C Schelesky-Prado, Rafaela L Falaschi, Igor P Affonso.
      In 2000, the first draft of PhyloCode was made public, an alternative naming code that does not follow Linnaean rankings and is based on the phylogenetic relationships of taxa in cladograms. In this study, the impact of the PhyloCode on scientific literature was analyzed from its first appearance in the literature to 2021. We investigated the areas that have most assimilated the proposal, the criticisms that have arisen over time, and whether there has been growing adherence to it up to the present day. The analyzed data were obtained from the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science database, where 121 articles that used or discussed the PhyloCode were found. Initially, there was an increase in publications, but in mid-2004, there was a downward trend, which was more noticeable after 2008. Results suggest that despite the criticisms, the proposal has been used in research in several areas, mainly in Zoology and Botany, as an alternative to the Linnaean ranking system. Most articles have been published in Systematics and Taxonomy and discuss the functionality of the proposed code. Despite the proposal's potential, its acceptance can be considered relatively low and it still generates discussions, just like any scientific novelty.

      The current study aims to identify research hotspots and trends in Monkeypox (MPX). A total of 2655 MPX-related articles published from 1961 to 2023 were extracted from the Scopus database. Data were analyzed using Scopus Analytics, Microsoft Excel, Bibliometrix, and VOSviewer. The number of MPX papers has been increasing annually, particularly since the most recent outbreak. The United States and India have been productive in this area. The most cited and productive scholar in the field is Inger K. Damon. The MPX research theme map shows clusters with various centralities and densities, focusing on deep learning, molecular docking, and orthopoxviruses. Over the last decade, key terms include "transmission," "pandemic," "deep learning," "docking," "Democratic Republic of Congo," "Ebola," "virulence," "modified vaccinia Ankara," and "orthopoxvirus." Researchers can utilize existing findings to steer future research on this illness, prepare for potential pandemics, and address bioterrorist threats.

    A scientometric and visualization analysis of 3D printing scaffolds for vascularized bone tissue engineering over the last decade.
    Siyang Cao, Yihao Wei, Yaohang Yue, Deli Wang, Ao Xiong, Jun Yang, Hui Zeng.
      The introduction of three-dimensional (3D) printing scaffolds has emerged as an effective approach to achieving satisfactory revascularization for bone tissue engineering (BTE). However, there is a notable absence of analytical and descriptive investigations concerning the trajectory, essential research directions, current research scenario, pivotal investigative focuses, and forthcoming perspectives. Hence, the objective of this research is to offer a thorough overview of the advancements achieved in 3D printing structures for vascularized BTE within the last 10 years. Information extracted from the Web of Science repository spans from January 1, 2014, to April 1, 2024. Utilizing advanced analytical instruments, we conducted comprehensive scientometric and visual analyses. The findings underscore the predominant influence of China, representing 59.62 % of the overall publications and playing a pivotal role in shaping research within this field. Notable productivity was evident at various institutions, including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Sichuan University. Wang Jinwu and Wu Chengtie stand out as the most prolific contributors in this domain. The highest number of publications in this area was contributed by the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials. In this study, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteosarcoma, fractures, osteonecrosis, and cartilage diseases were identified as the most significant disorders investigated in this research area. By providing a comprehensive scientometric assessment, this study benefits both experienced researchers and newcomers alike, offering prompt access to essential information and fostering the extraction of innovative concepts within this specific field.

    The Road from Abstract to Publication in Pediatric Urology.
    Katelyn A Spencer, Brittany Levy, Regan Martin, Haley Copeland, Will Cranford, Christopher McLouth, Amanda F Buchanan.
       OBJECTIVE: To identify the current rate of achieving publication and time to publication of abstracts presented at Societies for Pediatric Urology (SPU) meetings.
    METHODS: Fall SPU poster and podium presentations from 2017 - 2019 and 2021 were identified and reviewed for authorship (academic position), institutional (presence of pediatric urology fellowship), and publication (date of publication, journal, impact factor, and changes in authorship) details.
    RESULTS: Of the 688 abstracts presented at the annual fall SPU meeting, 311 (45.2%) were published, with an average time to publication of 12.3 months (standard deviation 10.8 months). The academic position of first authors was distributed among medical students (7.5%), residents (20.2%), fellows (28.5%), attendings (28.8%), and others (PhD, RN, etc.) (15%), while last authorship was dominated by attending physicians (90.2%). There were no significant author or institutional factors associated with achieving publication or time to publication. However, abstracts presented in 2021, after the cancelled 2020 meeting, were published in an average of 6.7 months, compared to 14.6 months from 2017-2019 (p < 0.001).
    CONCLUSIONS: While the annual SPU meeting is an important venue for presenting new information, the follow-through to publication is an area for improvement, which may limit dissemination of important new research. It does not appear that any author-specific factors or the affiliation with a fellowship program is associated with ultimate publication of presented abstracts.

    A practical approach to multifaceted perspectives for sustainable international collaboration on mosquito-borne diseases in Southeast Asia.
    Doyoen Lee, Keunhwan Kim.
      The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic highlighted the necessity and limitations of scientific collaboration and equitable and effective international research partnerships. The spread of mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) presents severe public health challenges, particularly in Southeast Asia. Addressing these threats requires establishing regional priorities, bridging research gaps, and strengthening long-term international collaboration. We propose a practical approach to multifaceted perspectives to enhance collaboration across Asia. This study examines MBD-related scientific publications from nine Southeast Asian countries between January 2017 and June 2024, utilizing bibliometric analysis and data visualization to identify research trends, research capacities, key institutions, and international collaborative partners. Thailand and Singapore led the dengue research, followed by Malaysia and Indonesia. Vietnam and the Philippines demonstrated moderate research capabilities, whereas Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar had lower capacities. Relationships with high-income countries drove international collaboration, whereas intra-regional collaboration in Southeast Asia increased. Furthermore, we identified directions for cooperative opportunities between South Korea and other Southeast Asian countries by analyzing their relative research capacities for infectious MBDs. We propose a practical approach to bridge research-capacity gaps and strengthen collaboration between low- and middle-income countries. These findings provide fundamental information for developing future infectious-disease-response strategies and international-collaboration research partnerships and facilitate the implementation of effective global public health preparedness policies and evidence-based decision-making, such as knowledge-transfer and resource-sharing.

    Rut Lucas-Domínguez, Antonio Vidal-Infer, Adolfo Alonso-Arroyo, Beatriz Tarazona-Álvarez, Máxima Bolaños-Pizarro, Vanessa Paredes-Gallardo.
       OBJECTIVE: Understanding and targeting cancer stem cells (CSC) are areas of active research in oncology and further dissemination of scientific results is urgently needed to accelerate the comprehension of their involvement in tumor heterogeneity, resistance to conventional therapies and metastasis. In the context of open science, open access and data sharing, the aim of this study is to assess the current practices of cancer researchers in terms of publications and dissemination of research data.
    METHOD: A bibliometric study was conducted based on a bibliographic search using the Web of Science, and CSC articles with at least one Spanish affiliation were retrieved. A comparative study of the openness criteria of the journals was carried out, as well as an analysis of the associated data attached to the articles as supplementary material or deposited in repositories.
    RESULTS: 708 documents from 282 journals were retrieved. 303 articles contained associated research data, mostly published in Q1 journals, demonstrating a correlation between impact journals and their commitment to quality improvement. Supplementary material was the preferred method of data sharing, being pdf the most used file type. Only 69 articles mentioned datasets deposited in repositories, mainly from genomic nature. The main cancers studied were digestive and gastrointestinal, neurological, breast, hematological and respiratory, which coincided with the tumor types with the highest incidence and mortality, and in which the presence of CSC has been described.
    CONCLUSIONS: Researchers and publishers have become more aware of open science practices, but there is still a need for data quality according to the FAIR principles.

    Tracing the historical foundations of infliximab in Crohn's disease treatment: a cited reference analysis.
    Andy Wai Kan Yeung.
       Introduction: The use of infliximab to treat Crohn's disease patients has been evaluated for decades. The current work aimed to identify the historical roots of this research topic.
    Methods: The literature database Web of Science Core Collection was searched to identify relevant papers. Cited reference analysis on the identified literature set was performed using CRExplorer, a dedicated bibliometric software. The disruption index was computed with an automated routine described by Leydesdorff and Bornmann, which is freely available online. Based on data from citation count and reference list, the disruption index can range from -1 to +1, with -1 meaning a continuity from existing research and +1 meaning a disruption.
    Results: This analysis successfully identified key references dealing with infliximab use on Crohn's disease patients, such as the original report that introduced the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) in 1976, the first case series reporting a favourable outcome of infliximab infusion on 10 patients published in 1995, the first randomized controlled trial published in 1997, the ACCENT I and ACCENT II trials published in 1999 and 2002, and a couple of European consensus guidelines on the diagnosis and management of Crohn's disease.
    Conclusion: Cited reference analysis could reveal the historical origins of the use of infliximab in treating Crohn's disease. Highly cited references included CDAI, important early clinical studies, and European consensus guidelines. The important cited references identified by the analysis provided solid foundation to support subsequent research.

    Mapping the Knowledge Structure of Image Recognition in Cultural Heritage: A Scientometric Analysis Using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix.
    Fei Ju.
      The application of image recognition techniques in the realm of cultural heritage represents a significant advancement in preservation and analysis. However, existing scholarship on this topic has largely concentrated on specific methodologies and narrow categories, leaving a notable gap in broader understanding. This study aims to address this deficiency through a thorough bibliometric analysis of the Web of Science (WoS) literature from 1995 to 2024, integrating both qualitative and quantitative approaches to elucidate the macro-level evolution of the field. Our analysis reveals that the integration of artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning, has significantly enhanced digital documentation, artifact identification, and overall cultural heritage management. Looking forward, it is imperative that research endeavors expand the application of these techniques into multidisciplinary domains, including ecological monitoring and social policy. Additionally, this paper examines non-invasive identification methods for material classification and damage detection, highlighting the role of advanced modeling in optimizing the management of heritage sites. The emergence of keywords such as 'ecosystem services', 'models', and 'energy' in the recent literature underscores a shift toward sustainable practices in cultural heritage conservation. This trend reflects a growing recognition of the interconnectedness between heritage preservation and environmental sciences. The heightened awareness of environmental crises has, in turn, spurred the development of image recognition technologies tailored for cultural heritage applications. Prospective research in this field is anticipated to witness rapid advancements, particularly in real-time monitoring and community engagement, leading to the creation of more holistic tools for heritage conservation.

    Increasing Trends in Matriculant Publications in the Residency Match: A Scoping Review.
    Henrik A Hahamyan, Nikhil Vasireddi, Bracken Burns, Stephanie A Bousquet, Heath P Gould.
      The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), which is responsible for matching medical students with residency programs in the United States, quantifies an applicant's research by aggregating their total number of publications, presentations, and abstracts (PPA). However, the program does not differentiate between peer-reviewed publications, which are typically academic studies evaluated by peers in the field, and other types of research output. While several studies have examined the peer-reviewed publications of matriculants in specific specialties, none have compared these specialties to identify trends across the residency match. Comparing peer-reviewed publications across specialties helps the NRMP, medical schools, and applicants identify evolving research expectations and align efforts with specialty-specific benchmarks. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to comprehensively synthesize studies that investigated the peer-reviewed publications of matched medical students. A systematic literature search was performed in September 2023 to identify and extract bibliometric variables from studies analyzing the peer-reviewed publications of matriculated medical students. Of 164 articles screened, 18 studies across 10 specialties were included. Neurosurgery matriculants had the most publications (4.67), whereas ophthalmology had the least (1.23). The proportion of students with zero peer-reviewed publications at application ranged from 22% (neurosurgery) to 47% (orthopedic surgery) and decreased over time for orthopedic and plastic surgery. Publications increased over time for nearly all reported specialties. Higher publication quantity and author H-index were associated with matching into higher-tiered residency programs across all analyzed specialties. The quantity and quality of medical student peer-reviewed publications continue to increase, and higher quality and quantity are associated with matching into higher-tiered programs. Given these trends, medical schools/advisors should continue fostering research mentorship, and students should prioritize both research quantity and quality to optimally prepare for the match. Simultaneously, residency selection committees and policymakers should critically assess whether strong research backgrounds are an optimal method to stratify future physicians and whether there are other avenues to prevent a growing research arms race.

    Advances in Grape Seed Oil Extraction Techniques and Their Applications in Food Products: A Comprehensive Review and Bibliometric Analysis.
    Jaime Laqui-Estaña, Elías Obreque-Slier, Nidia García-Nauto, Erick Saldaña.
      Global wine production has grown, resulting in an increase in waste within the industry. This has raised concerns among producers and scientists worldwide, prompting them to seek solutions for its management. The aim is to explore the latest advancements in using grape seed oil as a byproduct and its applications within the food industry. To achieve this, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database covering the period from 1990 to 2023. Additionally, a comprehensive literature review was conducted on extraction techniques, compositions, properties, and innovative applications in food. A bibliometric analysis revealed that interest in grape seed oil has grown over the past fifteen years. The majority of research on this grape byproduct is concentrated in Asian countries. Grape seed oil is a rich source of lipophilic compounds, including fatty acids, phytosterols, and vitamin E, which provide antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The literature indicates that only oil obtained through pressing is used in food products, such as meat products, dairy drinks, and chocolates, either directly or in emulsions. These findings suggest that further research and innovation are needed to explore how this waste can be used in new food sources, particularly in countries with high wine production.

    Brazilian Student and Professor Mobility.
    Concepta McManus, Abilio A Baeta Neves, Timothy J Finan, Felipe Pimentel, Daniel Pimentel, Rafael T Schleicher, Brenno A D Neto, Claúdia P Figueiredo.
      In this paper, we looked at the effect of mobility by students, post-doctorates and professors on science in Brazil. We analysed CAPES, CNPq, FAPESP and Incites data to examine the number of scholarships and their impact on posterior publishing. Decision trees, including the region of the country, length of stay by student and Professor, as well as institution abroad, were evaluated, along with logistic regressions. The number of incoming professionals to Brazil is still incipient. The number of undergrad students was not crucial in forming scientific ties, but the number of postgraduates (> 180 days) and professor stays (>90 days) was important. The highest impact factor of publications shows a greater probability of higher impact with more than six postgraduate students going to institutions in the global north region and professors staying for more than 90 days. Looking only at doctors and professors (Mobility after training), the country of most interest was the United States, followed by France and England, which are similar regarding professors. France had a greater emphasis on postdoctoral studies. Databases need to be improved to include factors such as gender and color/race as well as the origin of scholars from abroad.

    Jinhui Liu, Yonglong Chang, Qinling Ou, Linzi Chen, Haixia Yan, Duanyang Guo, Chongjie Wang, Sifang Zhang.
      The study provides a thorough examination of literature from 2013 to 2023, delving into the intricate relationship between mitochondrial function and colorectal cancer (CRC). It offers a concise overview of the current landscape and emerging trends in this rapidly evolving research area. The findings indicate a consistent rise in annual publications, reflecting growing interest and significant potential in the field. China emerges as the leading contributor, followed by the United States and India. However, despite China's dominance in output, its average citation rate is lower than that of the US, which leads in citations per publication, highlighting a noticeable disparity. In the realm of research institutions, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and China Medical University are identified as major contributors, yet the potential for inter-institutional collaboration remains largely untapped, suggesting avenues for future synergy. Internationally, China-US collaborations are particularly robust, fostering cross-border knowledge exchange. Hyun Jin Won and Li Wei are recognized as prolific authors, while Ahmedin Jemal is an influential co-cited scholar, noted for his seminal contributions. Keyword analysis reveals research focus areas, such as the complex CRC tumor microenvironment, molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress, and key multidrug resistance pathways. It also highlights the promising potential of mitochondria-targeted therapies and nanomolecular technologies in clinical practice, signaling their growing significance in addressing complex health challenges. The study underscores the imperative to validate complex mitochondrial mechanisms and signaling pathways in CRC, with a particular emphasis on translating these insights into drug targets for clinical trials. Advancing this research is expected to refine and enhance CRC treatment strategies. Additionally, it highlights the urgency of validating mitochondrial complexities in CRC, advocating for collaborative efforts to link these mechanisms with tailored therapeutic interventions for clinical testing. This integrated approach promises significant advancements in developing effective, targeted CRC treatments, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

    The landscape of dementia research in Brazil from 2010 to 2021: a Scopus-based bibliometric study.
    Ari Alex Ramos, Laiss Bertola, Fabiana Araújo Figueiredo da Mata, Andrew Christopher Claro Miguel, Haliton Alves de Oliveira Junior, Cleusa Pinheiro Ferri.
       BACKGROUND:  Several studies have sought to investigate the trajectory of scholarly publications on dementia. Yet, there has been limited attention to contributions from Latin America.
    OBJECTIVE:  To provide a comprehensive overview of the literature output on dementia in Brazil.
    METHODS:  We conducted a Scopus-based literature search (2010-2021) for publications by authors affiliated with Brazil.
    RESULTS:  Out of 5,534 reports, 2,528 met the inclusion criteria. The annual growth rate of publications on dementia (9.9%, SD = 15.5) closely paralleled that of general health-related literature (6.7%, SD = 4.9). Most publications were categorized into the areas of diagnosis (33.4%) and disease mechanisms, origins, and models (32.7%). Epidemiological studies (4%), clinical trials (1%), and economic analyses (0.3%) are scarce. Based on the first affiliation of Brazil-affiliated authors, 89.3% of dementia output stemmed from Southeast (68.4%) and South (20.9%) of Brazil. Nonetheless, the state of São Paulo alone accounted for 41.1%, contributing to 60.1% of the Southeast. First and second authorships were predominantly held by female researchers, whereas male researchers occupied most of the second-to-last and last authorships. Overall, 1,812 (71.7%) were published in 346 foreign journals and 716 (28.3%) in 43 Brazilian journals. Notably, nearly half of the reports published in Brazil are concentrated in two journals: Dementia e Neuropsychologia (31.4%) and Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria (15.2%).
    CONCLUSION:  There is a pressing need for more studies in dementia epidemiology and economic cost, in addition to more research across all Brazilian regions.

    Targeting nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2-regulated ferroptosis to treat nervous system diseases.
    Ye-Qi Huang, Zheng-Wei Huang, Xue-Juan Zhang.
      By critically examining the work, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis on the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) in nervous system diseases. We also proposed suggestions for future bibliometric studies, including the integration of multiple websites, analytical tools, and analytical approaches, The findings presented provide compelling evidence that ferroptosis is closely associated with the therapeutic challenges of nervous system diseases. Targeted modulation of NRF2 to regulate ferroptosis holds substantial potential for effectively treating these diseases. Future NRF2-related research should not only focus on discovering new drugs but also on designing rational drug delivery systems. In particular, nanocarriers offer substantial potential for facilitating the clinical translation of NRF2 research and addressing existing issues related to NRF2-related drugs.

    The productivity, participation, and recognition of women in academic radiology: Past, present, and future.
    Lesley E Summerville, Kaustav Bera, Nikhil Ramaiya.
      Despite women's early involvement in and contributions to the field of radiology, such as Marie Curie's work in radiation physics and chemistry, women have long remained lacking in their representation among radiologists, including in academics. While many other medical specialties have gradually become more proportionate or even equalized in their gender distribution, radiology continues to exist as a predominately male specialty. In this special topics issue, we aim to explore the landscape of female representation in academic radiology over time, not only in number, but in research productivity, recognition and accolades, and grant and funding reception. We discuss the progress that has been made and factors that have influenced that progress, as well as the crucial role that women currently hold in the field of academic radiology.

       BACKGROUND: Open Science Practices (OSPs) are essential when assessing research integrity and quality of Randomised Clinical Trials (RCTs). As dental caries represents a significant oral health burden, our objective was to identify and analyse the adoption of OSPs within RCTs focused on addressing this disease.
    METHODS: We searched PubMed to retrieve RCTs related to dental caries published from January 2000 to March 2022. Two independent researchers assessed a random sample of these articles to evaluate their eligibility until reaching the minimum sample size. Then, the same examiners reviewed the included texts regarding the OSPs adopted in the articles. The collected variables related to OSPs were reporting guidelines, protocol registration, detailed methodology available, open-source software, statistical analysis code sharing, statistical analysis plan, data sharing, open peer review, and open access. Association analyses using logistic regression were conducted considering the publication year, the continent of the first author, impact factor and open-access policy of the journals (explanatory variables), and adoption of at least one OSP or one OSP other than open access (outcomes). The recommendations for adopting OSPs were assessed by reviewing the "Instructions for Authors" section of the most frequently used journals where the included papers were published.
    RESULTS: 64.8% of the articles (95% Confidence Interval = 59.3-70.1%) adopted at least one OSP. However, no individual OSP was adopted by more than 50% of the articles. The most adopted practices were protocol registration (37.1%), the use of reporting guidelines (33.1%) and publishing open access (37.3%). These are also the OSPs most often recommended by journals in the Instructions for Authors. A few articles adopted other practices. Older articles presented a lower frequency of adopting these practices, and articles published in higher impact factor journals were positively associated with both outcomes.
    CONCLUSION: The RCTs published on dental caries demonstrate a low frequency of adoption of most OSPs. However, a trend toward increased adoption of these practices has been notable in recent years.

    A Measure of Inclusion: Women as Authors in Oral Epidemiology and Dental Public Health, 2017-2022.
    Stefanie L Russell, Linda M Kaste, Shulamite S Huang, Silvia Spivakovski.
      Dentistry has traditionally been male-dominated in North America, although "primary care" dentistry disciplines, including dental public health (DPH), have greater gender equity than other areas. However, gender gaps are likely to persist, specifically in academia. As an example of the measurement of inclusion, we sought to identify gender equity in authorship in publications in DPH and epidemiology over six years. We found that while women occupied first and second authorship positions, men dominated the senior author position. Evaluating gender in authorship provides valuable information on inclusion and the movement toward achieving gender equity in dental public health.

    [Retrospect on seventy years of Chinese stomatology history research:focusing on papers issued by Chinese Journal of Stomatology].
    J Q Zhang, R X Zhang, Q Yu, J Zhou, S L Wang.
      Chinese Journal of Stomatology has had eighty papers on Chinese stomatology history issued for seventy years. According to three stages of the journal,statistics of the quantity and themes of the issued papers are compiled: the number of issued papers increases while the theme shifts from Chinese stomatology history before 1912 to Chinese contemporary stomatology history. Research methods shifts from the comparatively scanty approach of summary and induction on literature and cultural relics materials to multidisciplinary approaches. Early researches saw the senior scholars such as Zhou Dacheng and Mao Xiejun play the role in the field while recent years research teams represented by colleges and research institutions have published varied research topics. As the research deepens, platforms for issuing stomatology papers have been expanded, more subjects have been cross-disciplined and some academic monographs on stomatology history and stomatology education history have been published, among which Zhou Dacheng's Historic textual research of Chinese stomatology can be regarded as a milestone in the field. Comparing with other fields in the stomatology, current research on stomatology history still has much more gap to fill. The academic community should put more emphasis on talent training, discipline construction, research approaches, museum construction and cooperation between Chinese and western medical sciences so that to assist in the long-term development of the research.

    Balan Sundarakani, Anis Ghouse.
      The United Arab Emirates (UAE) faces obstacles in guaranteeing food security because of its desert climate, restricted arable land, and significant reliance on food imports. Establishing a robust and transparent food supply chain is crucial. This study investigates the crucial functions of blockchain technology in protecting and improving food security in the UAE. Using bibliographic and co-citation network analyses, this study examines 143 research articles that provide a thorough review of the current status of blockchain technology in relation to food security. We examine the interrelationships among studies, highlighting significant themes and identifying three emerging food security patterns in the incorporation of blockchain into the food security domain. This study enhances the understanding of how blockchain technology can transform the food security dimensions of availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability in the UAE and worldwide.
