BACKGROUND: Citation analysis is a useful bibliometric tool to identify impactful publications and trace the evolution of a specialty or a technique. In the past three decades, the research on vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has grown exponentially but very few studies have examined the most influential papers in this field.
CONCLUSION: Research on chronic inflammation and osteoporosis has expanded rapidly, integrating mechanistic, clinical, and translational perspectives. Our findings indicate that chronic inflammation has increasingly shifted from a peripheral topic toward a central organizing theme within osteoporosis research, reflecting growing integration between immunological and bone-centric research traditions.
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in neurology research and scientific publishing. However, concerns regarding authorship, transparency, and ethical oversight have prompted journals to establish policies governing AI use. The objective of this study was to characterize the presence and content of AI-related author-guideline policies across the top 100 neurology journals and to evaluate their alignment with established editorial frameworks and AI-specific reporting...
CONCLUSIONS: This study underscores the urgent need for improved reporting practices in qPCR experiments. Greater emphasis should be placed on quality controls, detailed descriptions of reagents and materials, and increased analytical transparency. Addressing these deficiencies is vital to enhance reproducibility and to strengthen the trustworthiness of qPCR-based research. Potential solutions include encouraging the citation of protocols in online repositories, providing structured reporting...
CONCLUSION: Optometrists must understand descriptive statistics and some basic inferential statistics to critically appraise the literature. The KAP can pinpoint gaps and indicate where and how education should be targeted. The validated KAP is available for use in other settings.
CONCLUSION: RBD research has progressed toward translational approaches focused on early detection and neurodegenerative risk prediction, supported by global collaboration and growing interest in mechanistic insights.
The introduction of incretin-based therapy has brought a significant transformation in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. It works by augmenting natural incretin hormones to enhance insulin secretion and suppress glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner. The primary goal of this research was to identify the top 50 most cited articles in this field, explore the trends, recent developments and the future direction of the research in this field. This is a bibliometric analysis. The...
CONCLUSIONS: Female representation on transplant editorial boards aligns with workforce proportions but remains notably lower among editors-in-chief, stable over the past decade. Targeted policies, mentorship, and tracking gender-metrics are critical to promote equity in academic transplantation.
CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the scientometric analysis, this study discusses the diagnosis, treatment, and current limitations of nanomaterials for depression therapy. This review will inspire novel ideas for the development of nanomaterials with applications in depression therapy.
Introduction Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) becomes popular in Switzerland; however, Swiss TCM research activity and scientific output have not been investigated. Methods To describe the Swiss TCM research activities and main health conditions studied, a systematic literature search of PubMed (covering databases such as MEDLINE, life science journals and online books) and Embase was performed from database inception to December 31st, 2023. Articles describing a TCM-related therapy modality...
CONCLUSION: Although ChatGPT, particularly GPT 4.0, can generate abstracts that meet structural requirements and reproduce surface-level elements of academic style, significant limitations remain in content accuracy, originality, and ethical considerations. Key messages What is already known on this topic: With the expanding application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, the development of large language models (LLMs) has enabled the generation of natural language with enhanced...

CONCLUSION: The results showed that a linear growth trend in the number of publications, and the United States has made significant contributions to BMPCa both in quantity and in collaboration. International cooperation in BMPCa research needs to be further strengthened. We hope that more researchers and organizations can promote academic exchanges and strengthen cooperation to continue addressing the gaps of BMPCa. Further research should focus on the pathogenesis, early prevention, and the...
CONCLUSION: The present study provides insights into the research productivity of Saudi Arabia and its leading universities, contributing to a broader understanding of global scientific output and its economic context. This study provides an idea to other nations to balance their research output vis-a-vis their economic growth.
This study addresses the gap between result-oriented evaluation and process-oriented learning by examining how formative assessment operates as a self-regulation (SRL) engine within a learning-centered blended Japanese course for top-tier engineering students at Xi'an Jiaotong University. Using a mixed-methods design, the study involved 40 first-year engineering students enrolled in the course (quantitative questionnaire and performance data, N = 40), complemented by two rounds of reflective...
