Research trends in minimally invasive partial splenectomy: a bibliometric mapping review with cross-database comparison

CONCLUSION: MIPS research has expanded but remains relatively small, institutionally dispersed, and focused on operative feasibility, technical refinement, and perioperative outcomes. These broad patterns were consistent across the three databases, although the comparisons do not constitute independent external validation. Disease-stratified multicenter studies with standardized long-term assessment of splenic function are needed.

Female Representation and Quality Indicators in Anesthesiology and Critical Care Podcasts

CONCLUSION: While a sex imbalance persists in anesthesiology and critical care podcasting, female participation among US-based podcasts exceeds local workforce demographic benchmarks, with a clear positive trend from 2010 to 2024. However, persistent sex similarity in speaker selection suggests ongoing biases. Quality assurance mechanisms remain highly variable, highlighting opportunities for incremental improvement. Future efforts could focus on structured guest selection and transparent...

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...
