Top 100 most-cited papers on diabetes mellitus in Dentistry: a bibliometric study

Abstract This study assessed the features of the 100 most-cited papers on diabetes mellitus (DM) in dentistry using bibliometric measures. A search of the most cited papers on DM using journals included in the category "Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine" in the Web of Science database up to January 2023 was performed. The complete bibliographic records of the selected papers were exported in plain text or Research Information Systems (RIS) file format. The following bibliometric indicators were collected: title, year, authors, number of citations, mean number of citations, institution, country, continent, study design, journal, impact factor, and keywords. Graphical bibliometric networks were created using the VOSviewer software. The number of citations for the 100 most-cited papers in DM research ranged from 111 to 566. Six papers each had more than 400 citations. Most were observational studies (n = 50) from the United States (USA) (n = 23) and were published in the Journal of Periodontology (30%; n=30). Robert Genco was the most cited author and contributed the most to the top 100 articles (3,653 citations; n = 13). The VOSviewer map of co-authorship showed the existence of clusters in research collaboration. The most prolific institutions were the Universities of Buffalo and Michigan (n = 6 each). "Diabetes mellitus" was the most frequent keyword, with 31 occurrences. In conclusion, the most cited studies that investigated the relationship between dentistry and DM were in periodontology.

Indicadores bibliométricos: impacto y altmetrics para una evaluación amplia y equitativa de las revistas científicas de Colombia / Bibliometrics Indicators: Impact and Altmetrics for an Extensive and Equitable Assessment of Colombian Scientific Journals / Indicadores bibliométricos: impacto e altmetria para uma avaliação ampla e equitativa das revistas científicas colombianas

La medición y análisis de la calidad de las publicaciones científicas es de fundamental importancia para evaluar el progreso e impacto de investigadores, grupos de investigación y revistas científicas en la comunidad académica y la sociedad (1,2). Tradicionalmente, la evaluación se encomendaba a pares de reconocida trayectoria, idoneidad y prestigio. Sin embargo, para eliminar subjetividades, desde hace varios años se ha recurrido a indicadores bibliométricos que propenden por una calificación mensurable, objetiva y multidimensional (1,3). Los indicadores bibliométricos (IB) pueden definirse como cuantificadores de información bibliográfica, disponible en documentos científicos y académicos, susceptible de ser analizada en términos de producción y consumo (1,2). Existe una variada tipología de IB (1,2) en función del objeto a examinar (investigador, revista o grupo de investigación) y que en algunos casos son transversales a este. Así, los indicadores personales (edad, sexo y antecedentes de los autores) solo aplican a investigadores o grupos, mientras que los de productividad e impacto aplican también a revistas. Para estas, el indicador de productividad (cantidad) y, aún más, el de impacto ("calidad") son rutinariamente empleados para clasificarlas y compararlas con el propósito, cada vez más controversial, de medir su pertinencia y relevancia académica y/o social (4).

Measuring and analyzing the quality of scientific publications is fundamentally important for assessing the progress and impact of researchers, research groups and scientific journals in the academic community and society (1,2). Traditionally, this assessment was entrusted to peers with a recognized track record, eligibility and prestige. However, bibliometric indicators have been used for several years to eliminate subjectivity, which aim at a measurable, objective and multi-dimensional qualification (1,3). Bibliometric indicators (BI) can be defined as quantifiers of the bibliographic information available in scientific and academic documents susceptible to being analyzed in terms of production and consumption (1,2). There is a typological variety of BI (1,2) based on the object to be examined (researcher, journal or research group) and, in some cases, they are cross-sectional to it. In this way, personal indicators (age, gender and background of the authors) only apply to researchers or groups, while productivity and impact also apply to journals. For journals, the productivity (quantity) and, more so, impact ("quality") indicators, are routinely used to classify journals and compare them, with the increasingly controversial purpose of measuring their academic and/or social pertinence and relevance (4).

A medição e análise da qualidade das publicações científicas é de fundamental importância para avaliar o progresso e o impacto de pesquisadores, grupos de pesquisa e revistas científicas na comunidade acadêmica e na sociedade (1,2). Tradicionalmente, a avaliação era confiada a pares de reconhecida trajetória, idoneidade e prestígio. No entanto, a fim de eliminar subjetividades, há vários anos são utilizados indicadores bibliométricos que visam uma qualificação mensurável, objetiva e multidimensional (1,3). Indicadores bibliométricos (IB) podem ser definidos como quantificadores de informações bibliográficas, disponíveis em documentos científicos e acadêmicos, passíveis de análise em termos de produção e consumo (1,2). Existe uma tipologia de IB variada (1,2) dependendo do objeto a ser examinado (pesquisador, periódico ou grupo de pesquisa) e que em alguns casos são transversais a ele. Assim, os indicadores pessoais (idade, sexo e formação dos autores) se aplicam apenas a pesquisadores ou grupos, enquanto os de produtividade e impacto também se aplicam a periódicos. Para estes, o indicador de produtividade (quantidade) e, mais ainda, o indicador de impacto ("qualidade") são rotineiramente utilizados para classificá-los e compará-los com o propósito cada vez mais controverso de medir sua pertinência e relevância acadêmica e/ou social (4).

Theoretical discussion and countermeasure analysis on the construction of county medical communities in China / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To provide reference for the sustainable development of county medical communities through analyzing key issues in the construction of such communities in China.Methods:Such Database websites as CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP Information were selected to retrieve journal papers and dissertations with the keywords of " county medical community" " county medical alliance" " county medical and health community" and " medical alliance" . The time period ranged from the establishment of the database to December 2021. Content analysis and social network analysis were used to classify and sort key issues of county medical community construction in the included literature, and the descriptive analysis was used for all the data.Results:274 literatures were obtained in this study, 82 high-frequency issues were extracted for the construction process of county medical communities. It was divided into 3 dimensions of service system, operation mechanism and fund guarantee, including 14 items of integration of resources, integrated management, resource intensification, information construction, medical services, medical quality, family doctors, public health, management system, personnel system, salary system, supervision mechanism, medical insurance fund and financial input. The results of social network analysis showed that the top three high-frequency issues of point centrality and intermediary centrality were lack of highly unified information exchange platform (107.00, 514.48), insufficient service capacity of primary medical institutions (61.00, 238.48) and lack of sustainable benefit distribution mechanism (45.00, 192.38).Conclusions:The construction of county medical community covered three aspects: medical service system, operation mechanism and fund guarantee.The shortage of primary medical service capacity, the lack of coordination of an information platform, the general shortage of essential drugs, the imperfect internal assessment and incentive system, the imperfect supervision system and the imperfect medical insurance supporting policy becomed the main roadblocks in building county medical communities in China. In order to promote the sustainable development of county medical community, the authors recommend to further upgrade the county integrated medical service system, perfect the operation mechanism, and strengthen the input into county health care.

Objective To investigate the articles on liver diseases published by authors from China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions) in Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) in 2016-2020, to analyze the bibliographic and citation data of these articles, and to understand the contribution and impact of Chinese scholars in the field of liver disease research in recent years. Methods The data for bibliometric analysis came from the SCIE database and Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The SCIE database was searched for the journal articles published in JCR Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals in 2016-2020, with a title or abstract containing "Liver", "Hepatocellular", "Hepatitis", "Cirrhosis", or "Hepatic" and a publication type of Article. Clinical guidelines were excluded, and the records with the corresponding author's affiliation containing institutions in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions) were screened out. R package bibliometrix was used to calculate the frequency of citations of included articles by liver disease studies published by Chinese and global authors in the Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals in 2016-2020, and R package DescTools was used to perform the Cochran-Armitage trend test to observe the change in composition ratio. Results In the Q1 Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals in 2016-2020, liver disease studies published by Chinese authors accounted for 9.5%. In recent years, the proportion of liver disease studies published by Chinese authors in Q1 Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals continues to increase from 6.0% to 12.2% ( P < 0.001). Among the liver disease studies published by Chinese authors in Q1 Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals, 79.7% were funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China, and there was no significant change in the proportion of studies funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China and published by Chinese authors in each partition of Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals in 2016-2020. The frequency of citations of included articles by liver disease studies published by Chinese and global authors in the Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals showed that liver disease studies published by Chinese authors had a high impact in both domestic and international academic communities. Conclusion In recent years, there has been a constant increase in the number of liver disease studies published by Chinese authors in high-impact Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals indexed in SCIE, and most of these studies have been funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China. The liver disease studies published by Chinese authors in Gastroenterology & Hepatology journals have been widely recognized by domestic and international academic communities.

Conclusiones: La producción científica peruana sobre plantas medicinales tiene una tendencia creciente, se concentra en ámbitos académicos universitarios y se publica en revistas de alto impacto, debido, en parte, al alto nivel de cooperación internacional existente.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the scientific output on medicinal plants published between 2000 and 2019 with at least one author with Peruvian affiliation. Materials and methods: A bibliometric study was carried out by conducting a systematic search in the Scopus database, from which original articles or short communications on medicinal plants that had at least one author with Peruvian institutional affiliation were selected. The characteristics of the publications, institutions, countries and authors who participated in this research are described. The ratio of international collaboration, the transience index, and the institutional and co-authorship collaboration networks were calculated. Results: A total of 200 original articles published in 83 journals were included. The quantity of articles showed an increasing, though irregular trend during the studied period. The most productive institution was the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, and the journal in which most of the articles were published was the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Authorship and institutional collaboration networks showed the influence of international collaboration in these publications (53.0%). Conclusions: Peruvian scientific output on medicinal plants shows an increasing trend, observed mainly in academic university settings. The articles are published on high-impact journals, due in part to the high level of international cooperation.

Extent of Left Atrial Ablation Lesions and Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence after Catheter Ablation - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis / A Extensão das Lesões de Ablação no Átrio Esquerdo e a Recorrência de Fibrilação Atrial após Ablação por Cateter - Uma Revisão Sistemática e Metanálise

Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to induce atrial remodeling, which promotes fibrosis related to arrhythmogenesis. Accordingly, since scars induced by catheter ablation (CA) can reduce unablated fibrotic areas, greater extent of left atrial (LA) scarring may be associated with less AF recurrence after CA. Objectives: This study aims to investigate, through systematic review and meta-analysis, whether the amount of LA scarring, seen on late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging, is associated with less AF recurrence after CA. Methods: The recommendations of the MOOSE guideline were followed. Database search was conducted in PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (comentário 1) until January 2019 (comentário 2). Two authors performed screening, data extraction, and quality evaluation. All studies were graded as good quality. A funnel plot was generated, showing no publication bias. Statistical significance was defined as p value < 0.05. Results: Eight observational studies were included in the systematic review, four of which were included in the meta-analysis. Six of the eight studies included in the systematic review showed that greater extension of LA scarring is associated with less AF recurrence after CA. Meta-analysis showed that greater extension of LA scarring is associated with less AF recurrence (SMD = 0.52; 95% CI 0.27 - 0.76; p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Greater extension of LA scarring is possibly associated with less AF recurrence after CA. Randomized studies that explore ablation methods based on this association are fundamental.

Resumo Fundamento: A fibrilação atrial (FA) é conhecida por induzir o remodelamento atrial, que promove fibrose, provocando, por sua vez, mais arritmogênese. Dessa forma, visto que as cicatrizes induzidas pela ablação por cateter (AC) podem reduzir as áreas fibróticas, uma maior extensão de cicatrizes do átrio esquerdo (AE) pode estar associada a uma menor recorrência da FA após AC. Objetivos: Por meio de revisão sistemática e metanálise, o presente estudo visa investigar se a extensão total de cicatriz do AE, visualizada na ressonância magnética com realce tardio de gadolínio após a ablação, está associada a uma menor recorrência de FA após AC. Métodos: Foram seguidas as recomendações das diretrizes MOOSE. A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed e Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials até Janeiro de 2019. Dois autores realizaram triagem, extração de dados e avaliação da qualidade dos estudos. Em relação à qualidade, todos os estudos foram classificados como bons. Foi gerado um gráfico de funil, o qual não mostrou viés de publicação. Foi adotado nível de significância p < 0,05. Resultados: Oito estudos observacionais foram incluídos na revisão sistemática, dos quais quatro foram incluídos na metanálise. Dos oito estudos incluídos na revisão, seis mostraram que maior extensão de cicatrização do AE está associada a uma menor recorrência de FA após AC. A metanálise também demonstrou que maior extensão de cicatrização do AE está associada a uma menor recorrência de FA (SMD = 0,52; IC 95% 0,27 - 0,76; p < 0,0001). Conclusão: Uma maior extensão de cicatrização do AE está possivelmente associada a uma menor recorrência de FA após AC. Estudos randomizados que explorem métodos de ablação baseados nessa associação são fundamentais.

Progress in diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic tuberculosis / 中国基层医药

Pancreatic tuberculosis is a chronic and specific disease of the pancreas, which is rare in clinic.Pancreatic tuberculosis accounts for less than 5% of general miliary tuberculosis.This disease is often secondary to tuberculosis in other parts of the body.Because of the lack of awareness of pancreatic tuberculosis, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer.In the past, there were reports of pancreatic tuberculosis misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer and then underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy treatment.In clinical practice, most of the cases of pancreatic tuberculosis were confirmed by during operation or postoperative pathology.In recent years, with the increase of the incidence of tuberculosis, the reports of pancreatic tuberculosis have also increased.Therefore, the study reviewed the literature of pancreatic tuberculosis in recent years in order to improve the understanding of pancreatic tuberculosis by the medical workers.
