Improving the reliability of polygenic risk score-based prediction for cardiovascular and renal complications across ancestries in type 2 diabetes using Mondrian Cross-Conformal Prediction

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) developed in European populations often show reduced predictive performance in non-European populations, limiting their clinical utility. This lack of transferability across ancestries remains a major challenge in genomic medicine and raises concerns about health equity. We aimed to evaluate whether uncertainty-aware prediction, implemented through Mondrian Cross-Conformal Prediction, improves the performance and reliability of polygenic risk score-based predictions...

AI Writing Vocabulary in Ophthalmology: Faster Non-Native Adoption, Unchanged Outcomes

CONCLUSIONS: After ChatGPT, non-native-English-affiliated authors in ophthalmology adopted AI-associated writing vocabulary faster than native-affiliated authors, without any accompanying gain in publication frequency or journal placement. The measure reflects population-level AI-associated style, not fluency, quality, or confirmed AI use, and should not be used to classify individual articles.

Where Does JKNS Stand in JCR 2025, and How Should We Proceed for Sustainable Growth?

The 2025 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) reveal that the Impact Factor (IF) for the Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society (JKNS) has risen to 1.9, an increase from 1.7 in 2024. The upward trend in the IF compared to previous years is a highly encouraging development. Although the IF of JKNS has increased, a substantial gap still remains compared to top-ranked neurosurgical journals. The time has come to set clear goals for where JKNS should head next and to explore how to reach them. While...

Use of the National Trauma Data Bank in orthopaedic trauma research: a bibliometric analysis

CONCLUSIONS: This study identified the increasing use of the NTDB in orthopaedic trauma research over time. The NTDB was primarily used in large universities and hospital systems, with lower extremity, spine, and pelvis being studied more than upper extremity and soft tissue injuries. An opportunity exists to further examine understudied topics and to repeat previous analyses to identify current clinical outcome trends of high-interest injuries.
