Objective: To evaluate global research trends, thematic evolution, influential publications, and country- and institution-level productivity in spinal infection literature published between 1981 and 2025. Materials and Methods: Publications were identified using a title-based (TI) search in the Web of Science Core Collection (SCI-E and ESCI). Annual publication trends, contributions of countries and institutions, research areas, and thematic classification of the top 100 most cited articles were analyzed. Descriptive bibliometric analyses were visualized using standard tools, and network-based mapping was performed to explore the intellectual structure and temporal evolution of the field. High-impact studies were further assessed for content and thematic focus. Results: A total of 2,174 articles met the inclusion criteria. Publication output increased markedly after 2000 and again after 2015. The United States was the most productive country (596 articles, 27%), and the University of California System was the leading institution. Spine (n=156) and European Spine Journal (n=111) were the most frequent publishing journals. Articles were primarily classified under orthopedics, neurosurgery/neurology, and infectious diseases. In the Top-100 analysis, postoperative infections, risk factors, spinal epidural abscesses, and guideline papers predominated. Thematic evolution demonstrated a transition from pathogen-focused studies (tuberculosis, brucellosis) between 1980 and 2000 to postoperative infections between 2000 and 2010 and, after 2010, to minimally invasive surgery, antibiotic strategies, and functional outcomes. Conclusion: Over 45 years, the literature evolved from small case series to studies emphasizing surgical complications, minimally invasive techniques, and functional outcomes. Although research output is concentrated in the United States and East Asia, Türkiye has contributed notably, particularly in tuberculous and brucellar spondylodiscitis. Future research should prioritize long-term outcomes of minimally invasive surgery and optimization of antibiotic and implant-preserving strategies.

Bibliometric analysis of the top 50 most-cited articles on cervical deformities: a web of science database study.

Menopause is a critical transition in a woman’s life, marked by hormonal changes that increase the risk of hypertension and negatively affect psychological well-being and life satisfaction (Wang et al., 2025; Sparks & Wang, 2025). Recent research highlights the efficacy of holistic lifestyle interventions, including yoga and dietary modification, in mitigating these risks (Tyagi & Jain, 2025; Souza et al., 2026). This study investigated the effects of Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY), combined with personalized dietary counseling, on systolic blood pressure and life satisfaction among menopausal women in Chennai, India. Forty eligible women aged 40–50 years with menopausal symptoms were randomly assigned to an intervention group (SKY Yoga plus dietary modification) or a control group for 12 weeks. The intervention group participated in structured SKY Yoga sessions and adhered to a plant-based, low-sodium diet, while the control group maintained their usual routines. Results showed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure and a marked improvement in life satisfaction in the intervention group compared to controls (p < 0.01), corroborating evidence from recent systematic reviews and clinical trials demonstrating the positive impact of yoga-based interventions on both cardiovascular and psychological health in menopausal populations (Souza et al., 2024; Wang et al., 2025; European Journal of Integrative Medicine, 2025). These findings support the integration of yoga and dietary modification as effective, non-pharmacological strategies for improving cardiovascular outcomes and overall well-being in menopausal women. Further research with larger, diverse samples and longer follow-up is warranted to validate and generalize these findings (Carcelén-Fraile et al., 2024)

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) imposes a significant clinical burden on patients and a major economic burden on healthcare systems. In HFrEF, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) constitute a cornerstone of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) reducing both mortality and hospitalisation. Their use in practice remains suboptimal, largely because of physicians' concerns about adverse events, particularly hyperkalaemia, which may deprive eligible patients of benefit. Only the steroidal MRAs spironolactone and eplerenone are approved for HFrEF, and this consensus document is restricted to these agents. We summarise contemporary evidence across multiple domains related to MRA therapy in HFrEF, including pharmacoepidemiology, the role of biomarkers in predicting outcomes and response to MRA, the pathological role of aldosterone and the pharmacology and clinical efficacy of steroidal MRAs. Practical, evidence-based guidance is provided on the prevention and management of hyperkalaemia, the timing of MRA initiation, and strategies to overcome barriers to MRA use. The positioning of MRAs in current guidelines is outlined to reinforce their central role in HFrEF. The process of consensus finding was started in April 2025 with a core group by online conference. We searched PubMed with the terms "MRA, eplerenone and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction". Articles published in English with no date restriction were considered. The final manuscript passed two rounds of final approval by all authors. As a result, this consensus statement advocates proactive, evidence-based approaches to optimise MRA use to improve outcomes. These recommendations aim to mitigate the persistent underuse of MRAs in clinical practice.

Echocardiography is the most commonly used imaging method for evaluating the heart. It plays a central role in the cardiology routine and in acute and emergency situations, and is an essential component of the medical decision-making process. In spite of its high clinical relevance, national recommendations standardizing the examination procedure, equipment settings, and image documentation have been lacking. The present guidelines were created by the German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine and the German Cardiac Society in coordination with the German Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, German Society of Internal Medicine, Professional Association of German Internists, and the German Association of Cardiologists in Private Practice. The recommendations were formulated in consensus, published as draft guidelines, and finalized by the participating professional associations after evaluation of the feedback. The document meets the criteria for S2k guidelines in accordance with the Association of Scientific Medical Societies in Germany and defines binding standards for performing transthoracic echocardiography. The guidelines define which images and measurements are required to ensure valid and reproducible findings. The main recommendations relate to device settings, image acquisition, the minimum dataset to be acquired, and the definition of focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS). The complete long version of the guidelines is available on the website of the Association of Scientific Medical Societies in Germany. NOTE : The short version of this guideline is being published simultaneously in the journals Ultraschall in der Medizin - European Journal of Ultrasound and Die Kardiologie.

Abstract This paper analyzes the intellectual foundations and evolution of the European Journal of Law and Economics (EJLE) over its first thirty years. We first reconstruct the European intellectual traditions underlying law and economics—Enlightenment thought, the German Historical School, ordoliberalism, and comparative institutional analysis—and their role in shaping the journal’s founding mission. We then complement this historical analysis with a comprehensive, data-driven study of all EJLE articles published since 1994. Using topic modeling (BERTopic) and abstract-similarity clustering, we document the journal’s thematic structure, its evolution over time, and changes in authorship, collaboration, and geographic composition. The results highlight both continuity and rebalancing within a methodologically plural and institutionally grounded research agenda.

Radiology has been profoundly transformed by artificial intelligence (AI) over the past decade, enabling automated detection, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, and more personalized patient care. In this study, we performed abibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on AI in radiology from 2010, aiming to map research trends, identify influential authors and institutions, and uncover emerging thematic areas. Our results show arapid growth of publications since 2016, with the United States, China, and Germany leading in output. Journals such as the European Journal of Radiology, Academic Radiology, and Clinical Radiology have been the most productive, while keyword analysis revealed emerging topics including explainable AI, multimodal imaging, and AI-assisted clinical decision-making. Collaborative networks among countries and institutions have expanded, reflecting increasing international cooperation. This bibliometric overview highlights the evolving landscape of AI in radiology and provides insights to guide future research and clinical integration.
