Bibliometric analysis of the research trends of thalassemia in the past decade

CONCLUSIONS: Thalassemia research remains a strong academic focus. Current major topics include diagnostic innovation, genetic testing and pediatric care. Future efforts should prioritize translational studies, cross-regional collaboration and neglected areas such as adult quality of life and gene-therapy accessibility.

Dermatologic Surgery Trends in the Past Decade, 2014 to 2024: A Cross-Sectional Study

CONCLUSION: Dermatologic surgery shows robust growth in evidence-based research, although postpandemic declines and geographic disparities warrant attention to sustain momentum and global collaboration.

Trends, Gaps, and Challenges in Antiviral Resistance: A Bibliometric Analysis and Narrative Synthesis of Key Viruses, Resistance Mechanisms, and Drivers

CONCLUSION: Antiviral resistance research within the One Health framework remains limited, narrowly focused, and geographically concentrated. Broader, interdisciplinary studies and enhanced global research capacity are urgently needed to address existing knowledge gaps and disparities.

The Top 100 Most Cited Articles in Reconstructive Microsurgery: Identifying Evidence Gaps and Research Trends for Future Investigation: A Bibliometric and Visualization Analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Three critical findings emerged: (1) No Level I studies and only 7.22% Level II evidence; (2) geographic concentration, with nearly half of contributions from the United States; and (3) a thematic shift from anatomical descriptions toward outcomes research. These findings provide a roadmap for advancing the field.

Defining the Clinical Phenotypic Ground Truth: Expert Interrater Agreement in Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders

CONCLUSIONS: Movement disorders specialists can reliably identify hyperkinetic phenotypes, even without in-person assessment. While complex, mixed and functional presentations remain diagnostically challenging, our findings reinforce the value of expert phenotyping in clinical care, training, and research, and provide a benchmark for future studies and computational approaches.

Advances in Pathology: Journal of Thoracic Oncology 20th Anniversary Series

In its 20-year history, the Journal of Thoracic Oncology (JTO) has published many major articles that have had a profound impact on the pathology of thoracic malignancies. One reason JTO has had such a great influence on thoracic oncology is the visionary leadership of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), which emphasizes an international, multidisciplinary approach across all its endeavors. JTO is one of the most important initiatives of the IASLC, and its global...

Diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis: A bibliometric review from 2008 to 2024

CONCLUSION: AS diagnosis research has evolved through a growth phase (2008-2021), followed by a transitional or reorientation phase (2022-2024). Magnetic resonance imaging, Mendelian randomization, and biomarkers are current hotspots; Mendelian randomization serves as an etiological adjunct with the potential to inform biomarker discovery, though its findings do not yet constitute diagnostic tools. The apparent slowdown in recent years largely reflects evolving terminology (AS vs radiographic...

Article- and Journal-Level Associations Between Altmetric Attention Scores and Citations in High-Attention Ophthalmology Publications

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cross-sectional study of high-attention ophthalmology publications, individual article-level AAS rank was not associated with citation rank, whereas journal-level Altmetric rank was moderately associated with JIF rank and greater for clinical research-oriented journals. These findings suggest that online attention and impact factor reflect partially overlapping but distinct dimensions of research dissemination and that both metrics are independent, important...

Discursive analysis of news values in headlines posted by the official CCTV News WeChat account

As social media has become central to news dissemination, how Chinese state media construct news values has remained an underexplored issue. This study analyses how CCTV News uses discursive strategies in WeChat headlines. We used discursive news values analysis (DNVA) to examine 218 top-read headlines from 2014-2024. Five dominant news values emerged: personalization, eliteness, negativity, proximity, and positivity. This study extends the DNVA framework to a non-Western context and offers new...

Global Research Trends in Traditional Chinese Medicine for Diabetic Kidney Disease: A 20-Year Bibliometric Analysis

CONCLUSION: This study represents the first systematic, quantitative, and visual documentation of the evolutionary trajectory of TCM applications in DKD treatment, revealing substantial acceleration in recent years. These findings underscore the pivotal importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the imperative for strengthened global research partnerships. Leveraging technological advances in the big data era, network pharmacology provides a holistic, systems-based paradigm that offers...

Trends in dermatological research publications in the Arab world from 2000 to 2023: a bibliometric analysis

This bibliometric analysis examines the publication trends in dermatology within the Arab world from 2000 to 2023. The study highlights the region's scientific contributions and evaluates the global visibility and impact of dermatological research. The Web of Science (WoS) database was employed to conduct a retrospective bibliometric analysis. The bibliometric indicators, like the global overview of dermatology research, categorization of research by country, citation metrics, annual growth...

SYNERGY-VAE: An explainable generative deep learning framework for discovering depression subgroups from multimodal population health data

Depression represents a complex, multifactorial disorder influenced by the interplay of biological, behavioral, and social determinants. While extensive health surveys, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), gather comprehensive multidomain data, existing studies tend to analyze these domains independently, overlooking the potential to identify integrated, data-driven patterns of depression risk. We have developed SYNERGY-VAE, an interpretable and multimodal...

Evolution of scaffold materials for periodontal therapeutics over two decades (2005-2025): A bibliometric mapping analysis

This study employed bibliometric methods to summarize the global distribution patterns, knowledge systems, and dynamic changes in hotspots of research on periodontal treatment scaffold materials over a 20-year period (2005-2025). Relevant literature related to periodontal diseases and scaffold materials was from the Web of Science Core Collection. A total of 528 eligible English-language articles were identified and analyzed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software for visualizing and interpreting...

Direct microhaplotype genotyping for GT-seq (Genotyping-in-Thousands by Sequencing) using a diploid abundance model

GT-seq (Genotyping-in-Thousands by Sequencing) is widely used for high-throughput amplicon genotyping, but most analytical pipelines focus on single SNPs or rely on alignment-based variant calling. Here we present a direct microhaplotype genotyping framework that leverages the high read depth and low error rates typical of paired-end Illumina and Element sequencing. The pipeline first identifies primer-bounded reads and resolves paired-end sequences into quality-aware consensus amplicon...
