Gender equity in The Journal of the American Dental Association: A review of the past 2 plus decades

BackgroundConsidering evidence of closing the gender gap in dental scholarship, this study assessed women’s participation as authors, reviewers, and members of the editorial board for The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) from 2000 through 2022. MethodsThe study authors downloaded author names from PubMed and retrieved names of reviewers and editorial board members from JADA's pages. The authors used Gender-API software to determine gender on the basis of first names. They used logistic regression to test for trends. ResultsFrom January 2000 through December 2022, there were 2,935 full-length articles, 2,775 reviewers, 4 editors in chief, and 85 editorial board members. The percentage of women authors increased by 1.2% annually (95% CI, 1.03% to 1.33%), reaching 47% in 2022. First authorship increased by 2.1% annually (95% CI, 1.84% to 2.39%) and has been at more than 50% since 2016. In articles with multiple authors, there was a modest increase; second authorship increased 0.7% annually (95% CI, 0.36% to 1.09%) and last authorship by 0.7% (95% CI, 0.03% to 1.00%). Women reviewers increased 0.8% annually (95% CI, 0.68% to 0.97%), but the percentage of women on the editorial board did not increase significantly and was 41% in 2022. ConclusionsIt was anticipated that 50% of JADA authors would be women by 2024. However, women are still underrepresented on the editorial board. A comprehensive effort is needed to foster role models, provide mentorship opportunities for women, and support women’s professional advancement in dental research and publications. Practical ImplicationsGender-based disparities affect women in dental education and clinical practice. Serving as an editorial board member, reviewer, or author can affect academic promotion and the type of scientific investigation being conducted and indirectly affects women’s health outcomes.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of mother milk exosomes in the experimental corrosive esophagitis model.

We aimed to examine the effectiveness of mother milk exosomes in treating corrosive esophageal burns. 32 rats were separated into four equal groups and weighed individually before the procedure. A corrosive esophageal burn model was created with 12.5% sodium hydroxide by a 3F Fogarty catheter. Group 1 did not apply any process or treatment, Group 2 was burned, and no treatment was performed. Group 3 was burned, and then 0.5cc/day of mother milk exosome extract was given. Group 4 was not applied any process, and 0.5cc/day mother milk exosome extract was given. All rats were weighed again and sacrificed. Biopsy samples were sent to the pathology laboratory for histopathological examination (in terms of inflammation, fibrosis, and necrosis).Kindly check and confrm all email ids.The e-mail addresses and affiliation of all authors were checked. Affiliation departments are as stated on the title page. There is no change. A significant difference was found in the results of inflammation and fibrosis. There was a meaningful difference in fibrosis between the 2nd and 3rd groups. There was weight gain in groups 1, 3 and 4. Statistical evaluations for each group were significant. It was observed that breast milk exosomes may be effective in inflammation and fibrosis formation in treating corrosive esophageal burns. This suggested that breast milk exosomes reduce stricture formation due to esophageal corrosion.Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name).

Global Stem Cell Research in Orthopaedics: A Bibliometric Study from 1995 to 2020.

The research field of stem cell-based therapies in orthopaedics has witnessed significant growth in the recent past. We aimed to identify and analyze the bibliometric characteristics of the global highly cited papers (HCPs) in stem cell research in orthopaedics. This study relied on secondary data extracted from Scopus, Elsevier's abstract and citation database. An advanced search string was employed, for the period from 1995 to 2020. For each paper, the extracted information included the number of citations, title, authors (name, number, authorship position, and country), year of publication, title of the journals, study design, and thematic field. The VOSviewer (1.6.20) was used to uncover relationships between authors, institutions, keywords, and publications. There were a total of 1427 publications and out of these 186 papers had 100 or more citations (range 100-2644) and were considered as HCPs. The average citation per paper (CPP) was 265.8. Only 4% of the top HCPs contributed 20% of the total citations of all HCPs. All the HCPs were published from high-income countries, and the USA was the leading country in all aspects of publication on stem cell research. Méndez-Ferrer S registered the highest citation (n = 2644), Prockop DJ was the most prolific author (n = 8 papers), and Harvard Medical School, USA emerged as the most prolific organization with 12 HCPs. Global research in stem cell therapies for orthopaedic problems is making strides, and is an emerging field of research. Stem cell research offers the potential for improved treatment outcomes for various musculoskeletal conditions.

CHILDREN'S LITERATURE IN SOUTHERN VIETNAM PERIOD 1954 - 1975 IN TUỔI NGỌC MAGAZINE

Before 1975, in southern cities, there were many publishing houses that printed publications for children. Besides those individual publications, there are also newspapers that always accompany young readers. It can be said that Tuổi Ngọc weekly magazine was a spiritual gift that writers who love children gave to young readers at that time. Under the accompaniment of Duyên Anh and Vũ Mộng Long (From now on, depending on the author's name when printed with the same work, we will sometimes write it as Duyen Anh or Vu Mong Long), Đinh Tiến Luyện, Từ Kế Tường, Hoàng Hải Thuỷ, Mường Mán, and many other authors have brought children's readers good and valuable works. This weekly newspaper operated for nearly 6 years and then ceased publication. During that period of operation, the newspaper contributed for the country's literature in general and children's literature in particular, especially in the southern urban area, with typical author faces and works of immense value, not only in terms of genre but also in content value such as educational and entertainment value. The weekly newspaper always receives love from young readers and trust from their parents.

Network Analysis of the North American Skull Base Society Membership.

Background The membership of the North American Skull Base Society (NASBS) has grown considerably in recent years with diversity in subspecialty training, gender, and geography. The academic relationships and contributions of its membership have not been studied. Objectives This study aimed to (1) measure academic contributions of NASBS membership; (2) identify influential nodes of academic collaboration; (3) identify opportunities for future collaboration and mentorship. Methods Peer-reviewed publications of members of NASBS (2019 NASBS website) were identified using Scopus author name search. Network structures were constructed and analyzed using the graph-tool python library to produce a weighted coauthorship network and compute centrality measures. Visual network maps were then produced using Gephi network visualization software. Results The coauthor network contained 952 members with found publications and 4,996 connections. A total of 846 (88.9%) members were contained in a single connected giant component; 102 members were unconnected, and 64 members had a single connection. Girvan-Newman clustering identified 267 communities, where 13 contained at least 1% of the total membership each. The three largest communities contained 23.3, 8.4, and 6.9% of members. There were 111 published members identified as women; 5.4% of women were unconnected versus 11.4% of men. Average publication count for women was 32.3 (standard deviation [SD] 38.5) versus 70.5 (SD 106) for men. Average citation count for women was 543 (SD 1,012) versus 1,389 (SD 2,893) for men. Conclusion Network mapping of membership of the NASBS helps to visualize the academic activities and relationships of the NASBS and reveals areas of concentration and influence within the specialty.

Network Analysis of Past Presidents of the North American Skull Base Society.

Background Little is known about the relative contributions and interactions of the past presidents of the North American Skull Base Society (NASBS) and skull base centers. Objectives (1) Measure academic contributions of past presidents; (2) identify influential nodes of academic collaboration; (3) identify opportunities for future collaboration. Methods Peer-reviewed publications of past presidents of NASBS from 1964 to July 2019 were identified using Scopus author name search. Network structures were constructed and analyzed using the graph-tool python library to produce a weighted co-authorship network base and compute centrality measures. Girvan-Newman clustering was applied to identify community structure. Network maps were then produced using Gephi network visualization software with force-directed layout algorithms. Results The coauthor network of 29 presidents was fully connected, with a maximum shortest-path distance between presidents of 5. The mean number of connections from each node without respect to weighting was 5.31 (standard deviation [SD]: 3.53), and the mean number of connections with weighting was 8.40 (SD: 7.28). The number of unweighted connections ranged from 1 to 14 and weighted connections ranged from 0.25 to 24.7. Girvan-Newman clustering identified three communities with two that covered 93% of the network. The largest communities contained 14 and 13 presidents. The number of connections was correlated with h-index, both unweighted ( r 2 = 0.34) and weighted ( r 2 = 0.26). Conclusion Network mapping of past presidents of the NASBS helps to capture the history of the NASBS and reveals areas of concentration and influence within the specialty.

Women in Plastic Surgery Innovation: A 10-Year Review of Gender Representation in Mammary Device Patents.

This study aims to pioneer in evaluating women's representation in plastic surgery innovations, focusing on mammary prosthesis devices' inventorship. Despite growing gender parity in the field, women's involvement in innovation remains underexplored. This is especially crucial, as the predominant recipients of these innovative technologies are women, urging a necessity for broader female engagement in pioneering surgical advancements. Patents under the "A61F2/12: Mammary prostheses and implants" classification between the dates January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2020, were identified using Google Patents Advanced. Inclusion criteria included patents (not designs) in English and applications (not grants), with no litigation limitations. Data collected included ID, title, assignee (categorized as industry, academic, private, individual), inventors, and dates (priority, filing, and publication). Sex of inventors was identified with the literature validated gender API, with manual resolution of unresolved genders or with ga_accuracy scores of less than 75%. Data were analyzed using 2-tailed Student t tests, χ2 analysis, and Pearson correlation coefficient (significance set at P ≤ 0.05). Of the more than 130,000 plastic surgery patents in English identified between the 10-year period, 1355 were classified as A61F2/12. A total of 374 unique patents were included for analysis (841 duplicates were removed, and 140 patents were excluded because of non-English character author names). There was a significant increase in patents over the decade (from 15 in 2011 to 88 in 2020, R2 = 0.74, P < 0.05), with a decrease in number of inventors per patent (R2 = 0.12, P < 0.05). Of the 1102 total inventors, 138 were female (11.2%), with a 4-fold increase in representation over the decade (R2 = 0.58, P < 0.05), including increase in patents filed with a woman first inventor (0%-14.8%). Women were equally likely to be first 3 inventors versus middle to last inventors (12.8% vs 11.1%, respectively). Over a decade, mammary device innovations rose significantly. Although women inventors' representation improved, it remains disproportionate compared with women in residency/practice. Hence, interventions should aim to align inventor representation with training ratios, through institutional optimization, reducing gender segmentation, and enhancing funding opportunities.

Злоупотребления правом на досудебных стадиях уголовного процесса: виды и способы их преодоления

The article analyses the concept and signs of abuse of law in criminal proceedings. Among such signs the author names: the presence of a person with a specific subjective right; the implementation of law in contradiction with its purpose, or the purpose of criminal proceedings in general; inconsistency of a person’s behaviour with the criteria of good faith and reasonableness; causing harm to the interests of other participants in criminal proceedings, society and the state. Analysing the signs of abuse of right, the article indicates some types of abuse of right by private individuals or government entities, and makes a distinction between abuse of subjective right and abuse of discretionary powers. In conclusion, the author proposes to provide a legislative mechanism for overcoming abusive behaviour in criminal proceedings in the form of applying specific response measures to individuals and officials.

Обретение истоков: обучение церковнославянскому языку в контексте современной лингвометодики

This article is devoted to understanding linguistic and methodological problems in the field of teaching the Church Slavonic language in the context of the spiritual and moral education of students. The formation of a new socio-humanitarian paradigm associated with the sovereignization of domestic education, based on Russian civilizational identity and the development of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, determined the relevance of axiological linguistic methods and the need to understand the content and process of teaching the Church Slavonic language.The author examines the state of this process in two linguistic and methodological directions: teaching the Church Slavonic language as an independent discipline and in the context of teaching the Russian language. Making a brief overview of research in the field of teaching the Church Slavonic language as an independent discipline, the author concludes that it is necessary for modern science to comprehend, develop and systematize key modern linguistic and linguistic-methodological positions and relevant methodological tools for teaching the Church Slavonic language at school and at university. Reflecting on the need and possibility of building the process of teaching the Russian language with the inclusion of the study of Church Slavonicisms, the author names studies that propose strategically important directions in teaching Church Slavonicisms. So, E.V. Makarova proposes to study vocabulary based on the specific features of lexical Church Slavonicisms, which indicate their belonging to the spiritual sphere; carry out an analysis of hymnographic texts, allowing to reveal the mutual influence and interpenetration of the Russian and Church Slavonic languages; study grammatical Church Slavonicisms, which, as a rule, demonstrate the diachrony of linguistic phenomena.The author demonstrates the possibilities of modern axiological linguistic methods for teaching Church Slavonicisms in the school course of the Russian language: the use of linguoculturological analysis of the word as a concept in methodological linguoconceptology and the comprehension of the text, especially literary text, as an integral unit of language, speech and culture in the methodological linguoculturology of the text.

Publication Rates of Podium Presentations at an Annual Orthopedic Surgery Resident and Fellow Research Symposium.

Introduction Research is an important aspect of residency and fellowship programs across the country. Developing strategies to foster research productivity is worthwhile. An annual research project is one strategy that some programs implement. Methods All resident and fellow (Sports Medicine, Adult Reconstruction, Spine) presentations at an orthopedic surgery department's annual research symposium from June 2016 through June 2021 were identified. Abstract titles, title keywords, and author names were searched in PubMed and Google Scholar to identify the presence of a peer-reviewed publication. Using the total number of research symposium presentations given, the publication rate was calculated for each year, as well as collectively for 2016 to 2021. In addition to publication rate, first author percent, number of citations, Altmetric score, and journal impact factor were recorded. Current PGY-2 through PGY-5 residents completed a survey to assess the perceived value of the annual research symposium. Results Ninety-eight research symposium presentations were reviewed (69 residents, 29 fellows). Forty (58%) resident studies were published and 28 were first-author publications (70%). Thirteen (45%) fellow studies were published and seven were first-author publications (54%). Combining residents and fellows, the overall publication rate was 54% (53/98), and 66% of these (35/53) were first-author publications. There was a wide range of published manuscript journal impact factors, Altmetric scores, and number of citations. All residents surveyed reported finding value in the research symposium. Conclusion The overall publication rate of presentations at an annual orthopedic surgery department research symposium between 2016 and 2021 was 54%, consistent with publication rates reported at National Orthopedic Surgery Society meetings. All residents reported finding value in the annual research symposium.The results of this study support the academic value of implementing a required annual research project and may provide a useful gauge to inform residency and fellowship curricula at other institutions.

Management of intracranial cavernous malformations using conservative vs. surgical and/or radiosurgical treatment: A systematic review and meta‑analysis.

Intracranial cavernous malformations (CMs) are vascular lesions with a high bleeding rate. At present, the debate regarding their treatment is still ongoing. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the safety of surgery or radiosurgery (SRS) for the management of CMs and to determine their potential outcomes compared with conservative treatment. The present systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the relative articles involving the management of intracranial CMs, namely their natural history (conservative treatment) vs. surgical/SRS treatment through electronic databases until June, 2023. The collected variables included the first author's name, the study period covered, the year of publication, the total number of patients examined and their age, and the number of males. In total, six articles met the eligibility criteria. The total number of patients was 399 (157 in the surgery/SRS group and 242 in the conservative treatment group). The results revealed that surgical or SRS management is a safe procedure for CMs compared with conservative treatment. Notably, the use of hemosiderin in the pre-MRI, the free of seizures parameter and the neurological deficit parameters were associated with improved outcomes in the surgical or SRS group of patients.

ChatGPT for Automated Cross-Checking of Authors' Conflicts of Interest Against Industry Payments.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services "OpenPayments" database tracks industry payments to US physicians to improve research conflicts of interest (COIs) transparency, but manual cross-checking of articles' authors against this database is labor-intensive. This study aims to assess the potential of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to automate COI data analysis in medical publications. An observational study analyzing the accuracy of ChatGPT in automating the cross-checking of COI disclosures in medical research articles against the OpenPayments database. Publications regarding Food and Drug Administration-approved biologics for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis: omalizumab, mepolizumab, and dupilumab. First, ChatGPT evaluated author affiliations from PubMed to identify those based in the United States. Second, for author names matching 1 or multiple payment recipients in OpenPayments, ChatGPT undertook a comparative analysis between author affiliation and OpenPayments recipient metadata. Third, ChatGPT scrutinized full article COI statements, producing an intricate matrix of disclosures for each author against each relevant company (Sanofi, Regeneron, Genentech, Novartis, and GlaxoSmithKline). A random subset of responses was manually checked for accuracy. In total, 78 relevant articles and 294 unique US authors were included, leading to 980 LLM queries. Manual verification showed accuracies of 100% (200/200; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 98.1%-100%) for country analysis, 97.4% (113/116; 95% CI: 92.7%-99.1%) for matching author affiliations with OpenPayments metadata, and 99.2% (1091/1100; 95% CI: 98.5%-99.6%) for COI statement data extraction. LLMs have robust potential to automate author-company-specific COI cross-checking against the OpenPayments database. Our findings pave the way for streamlined, efficient, and accurate COI assessment that could be widely employed across medical research.

A phylogenetic study of the Mongolian Tree Pipit (Anthus trivialis, Linnaeus, 1758) population based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes

Our aim was to identify nucleotide polymorphisms, assess their distribution in haplotype diversity, and construct a phylogenetic tree by analyzing mtDNA markers of the Mongolian Tree Pipits(Anthus trivialis). We conducted this study using partial gene sequencesof mitochondrial marker genes, such as COI, Cyt-b, D-loop, andND2,to determine the genetic diversity of Mongolian Tree Pipits. We successfully amplified 2307 bp of the mitochondrial DNA fragments, including 469bp of COI, 435bp of Cyt-b, 554bp of D-loop and 846bp of ND2 from total 27 individuals of Mongolian (21) and Hungarian (6) populations of Anthus trivialis.The Hd value wasthe highest for ND2 (0.96) as compared with the other gene fragments in all populations, whileit was 0.94 in the Mongolian population. Moreover, the nucleotide diversity (Pi) ranged from 0.00234 to 0.004 in all population, it was observed that the Pi was between 0.00183 and 0.00376 in the Mongolian population. The phylogenetic tree based on combined mtDNA sequences revealed two mean clades. The probability value of the node supporting the posterior between these clades is 0.65,which suggests an indicative support in relationship between the two clades. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis showed that Mongolian Tree Pipits do share common genetic characteristics with other populations and do not form distinct clusters.

Intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures: an analysis of rotational malunions using 3D EOS.

Rotational malalignment and leg length discrepancy after intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft are frequent. This study has three objectives: evaluate the rate of femoral rotational malalignment and leg length discrepancy using EOS imaging after antegrade intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fracture, find a relevant clinical examination to detect malrotation and identified risk factors. We performed a retrospective single-centre study between January 2014 and January 2022. Fifty-eight patients were clinically and radiographically assessed at a minimum of three months. The femoral rotation of the operated side was significantly greater by a mean of 15.4° in internal rotation compared to the healthy side. There was no statically significant difference for the femoral length (p = 0.08). When using EOS stereography following antegrade intramedullary nailing of post-traumatic diaphyseal femur fractures, a statistically significant difference of more than 15.4° in internal rotation was found for femoral rotation on the operated side compared to the healthy side.Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name).

Presentation and Management of Porocarcinoma: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis of More Than One Thousand Patients

Introduction Porocarcinoma is an aggressive cutaneous carcinoma arising from the intraepidermal component of the sweat glands. Given its uncommon nature, only a limited number of studies have addressed this issue. This study summarizes the different presentations and management of the disease. Methods The eligible databases were searched to identify English-language studies published up to January 16th, 2024. The inclusion criteria comprised studies that focused on the presentation and management of eccrine porocarcinoma, with a clear statement of the outcomes of the chosen management. The data collected from the studies included the first author's name, country of study, type of study design, patient demography, the clinical presentation of the tumor and its location, histopathological findings, metastasis status, treatment strategy, and the subsequent prognosis. Results The initial search yielded 817 papers, with only 22 meeting the inclusion criteria. The studies comprised 1004 patients with a mean age of 78.7 years. In total, 527 (52.5%) of them were male and 461(45.9%) were female. The most commonly affected regions were the head and neck followed by the lower extremities. The most frequent treatment option was surgical excision in 876 (87.3%) patients. Distant metastasis accounted for about 2%, while lymph node involvement, occurred in 36 cases (3.6%). A good prognosis was reported in 57.3% of the cases. Both the age and tumor size had a significant effect on prognosis (p &lt;0.05). ConclusionThe lesion can develop anywhere on the body, with a survival rate exceeding 50%. Wide-based surgical excision remains the predominant treatment option.
