Visualization analysis of thoracic paravertebral block in breast surgery based on bibliometrics

Breast surgery is one of the most common surgeries in the world, and pain after breast surgery is very common, representing one of the key factors affecting the quality of life after surgery. With the development of clinical techniques, thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) has gradually become the preferred regional anesthesia technique for postoperative breast analgesia. Using Web of Science as the data source, medical articles about the application of TPVB in breast surgery published from 1900 to 2022 were retrieved and imported into CiteSpace and VOSviewer software. Using bibliometrics and knowledge mapping visualization methods, the literature was analyzed from the aspects of publication, author, institution, country, high-frequency keywords, keyword clustering, emergence words, and so on. A total of 299 articles were included. according to the yearly numbers of articles, the trend is increasing annually. The most published authors in this field are Susan M. Steele, Roy A. Greengrass, Brian M. Ilfeld, Karmakar Manoj Kumar, and Stephen M. Klein. The League of European Research Universities, University of Toronto, and Duke University are the 3 institutions with the largest number of publications, and their cooperation degree is relatively low. Articles of American origin predominated. TPVB is the major keyword associated with the application of TPVB in breast surgery, which appears most frequently and has a high research interest. The trend and characteristics of TPVB application research in breast surgery were visualized, and the studies in this field are generally increasing annually in number, providing useful bibliometric analysis for researchers to further explore in this field.

The physiological effects of massage on individuals with lymphoedema/chronic oedema, and its role in the development of clinical techniques used in practice: a systematic review.

Review question/objective This review examines the physiological rationale for the various indications and contraindications for massage. The overall objective of this review is to examine the physiological effects of massage (including manual/medical lymphatic drainage, MLD) on people’s lymphatic and vascular systems. More specifically, the review questions are: •What are the local physiological effects of massage, which include MLD, on the lymphatic and vascular systems? •What are the systemic effects of massage on the body, with particular reference to individuals with lymphoedema? •What is the physiological rationale for the various techniques, indications and contraindications for massage and MLD? Inclusion criteria Types of participants This review will consider all studies focusing on the treatment of adults and children. Animal studies examining the role of MLD will be included in the review providing there is evidence that they have met the standards for ethical animal research that were available at the time of publication. The systematic review team will consider all studies where there is concern for the correct welfare of animals and a group decision will be made whether to include or exclude these studies. This decision will be made on a case-by-case basis. Types of intervention(s)/phenomena of interest The quantitative and textual components of this review will focus on any form of massage including MLD, in the treatment of lymphoedema/chronic oedema. Types of outcomes The types of outcomes considered in this review comprise the following: •changes in lymphatic and vascular function and development; •oedema formation and resolution; •the effects of massage on inflammation and fibrosis; and •influences on the lymphatic nervous system.

Magnification: what is available, and will it aid your clinical practice?

With the development of clinical techniques that require high levels of manual dexterity and involve fine detail, there is increasing interest in the use of magnification for dental procedures. This article considers the potential benefits of magnification, the different methods by which it can be obtained and, finally, presents some caveats to its use.

Advances in operative dentistry and fixed prosthodontics.

The rapid developments in biomaterials has led not only to improved materials but also to the development of clinical techniques made possible by these advances. Adhesive dentistry remains one of the fastest changing fields and this will most likely continue well into the next decade. Patients' aesthetic awareness and, to some extent, concern about amalgam has produced a growing demand for posterior tooth-coloured restorations. Originally this was met by ceramo-metal crowns and subsequently by the development of posterior composite resins. Recent development of stronger ceramics and better luting have now made all-ceramic restorations possible in posterior sites. Several new techniques for cavity preparation are emerging as alternatives to the conventional handpiece while the quest for amalgam alternatives continues. As with all recent developments there are, by definition, few long-term clinical data yet available to allow a comprehensive evaluation of the relevant materials and techniques. This paper is a summary of the most significant recent advances in fixed prosthodontics and operative dentistry.

Demonstration of actin in the fibroblasts of healing palatal wounds.

The purpose of this study was to gain information which might be helpful in understanding the influence of palate surgery on abnormal maxillary growth. The finding of actin-rich cells in the granulation tissue of palatal wounds supports the hypothesis that one of the functions of those cells is contraction--and the latter subsequently leads to convergence of the wound margins and aberrations in growth of the underlying skeletal tissue. Much additional information is needed for final proof of that hypothesis. At present little is known about the initiation, regulation, or control of the proposed contractile phenomena, or the process of aberrent maxillary growth. Such information will be necessary for further development of clinical techniques that will allow normal maxillofacial growth after surgery on the palate at an early age.
