Extraversion and the Brain: A Coordinate-Based Meta-Analysis of Functional Brain Imaging Studies on Positive Affect.

Extraversion is a fundamental personality dimension that contributes to an individual's overall health and well-being. Many studies have examined the neural bases of extraversion but these results are inconsistent. This study adopted a meta-analysis approach to examine the brain activity correlates of extraversion by incorporating functional neuroimaging studies in the context of positive affect/emotional stimuli. A systematic literature search was performed in the databases of PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, PsycInfo, CNKI, WanFang, and Weipu. The demographic characteristics and basic information of the included studies were first summarized. Then, a meta-analysis was conducted using anisotropic effect-size seed-based d mapping. Jackknife sensitivity analysis was next conducted to examine the reliability of the findings. Finally, meta-regression analysis was performed to test the potential demographic effects (i.e., sex and age) on the association between extraversion and brain activity. A total of 11 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The results of meta-analysis revealed robust and consistent positive correlations between extraversion and activation of right inferior frontal gyrus/insula, right angular gyrus, and left precentral gyrus during positive affect processing. In contrast, brain activity in the right striatum during positive affect processing was negatively associated with extraversion. Additionally, meta-regression analysis revealed sex as a moderator in the relationship between extraversion and right insular activation. Overall, our study is the first to provide a comprehensive understanding of functional brain activation patterns of extraversion, which may be helpful for targeting of specific brain regions in personalized interventions for extraversion-related psychological/physical illness.

Review of pretreatment and analytical methods for environmental endocrine disruptors: Phthalates.

Phthalates, known as phthalate esters (PAEs), are among the most ubiquitous pervasive env7ironmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs), extensively utilized globally in various facets of modern life due to their irreplaceable role as plasticizers. The exponential production and utilization of plastic goods have substantially escalated plastic waste accumulation. Consequently, PAEs have infiltrated the environment, contaminating food and drinking water reservoirs, posing notable threats to human health. This review provides a comprehensive overview of research advancements in PAE detection and identifies key focal points from 2000 to 2022, utilizing the Web of Science Core Collection. Sample pretreatment and analytical methodologies for PAEs are examined based on bibliometric analysis findings. Pretreatment methods mainly include dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE), magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE), molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) and solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Laboratory analytical methods such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatograph (LC) and immunoassay have been described. Additionally, a discussion on the advantages and challenges of rapid on-site detection methods, in comparison to traditional approaches, is presented in alignment with the evolving demands of PAEs detection. Based on the current research progress, future studies can focus on the demand of rapid detection of PAEs.

The Relationship Between Boredom and Smartphone Addiction Before and After the Outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Prior research has explored the relationship between boredom and smartphone addiction (SPA), but significant discrepancies remain. Moreover, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic may have altered this association. Thus, this meta-analysis aims to clarify the true relationship between boredom and SPA, while also analyzing potential moderating factors. Articles published through April 2024 were retrieved from Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang, VIP) and English databases (Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer Online Journals). After screening, coding, and analysis using CMA 3.0 software, 54 studies involving 36,245 participants were included. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between boredom and SPA (r = 0.412, 95% CI [0.385, 0.438]). Furthermore, this relationship was moderated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the methods used to measure boredom, but not by gender or the tools used to measure SPA. These findings provide strong evidence of a positive correlation between boredom and SPA, with the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating this relationship.

Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy: A bibliometric method applied to the top one hundred cited articles.

Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) is considered one of the most complex procedures in general surgery. The number of articles on MIPD has been increasing annually. However, published reports often have complex research directions, and the focal points frequently change. Therefore, a comprehensive review and organization of the literature in this field is necessary. To summarize current research, predict future hotspots and trends, and provide insights for MIPD development. To conduct the study, the Web of Science Core Collection was searched for relevant articles. The analysis focused on the top 100 articles in the field. Two widely used bibliometric tools, CiteSpace and VOSviewer, were used to examine various aspects, including research directions, authors, countries, institutions, journals, and keywords. The top 100 articles were published between 2005 and 2022, with the majority originating from the United States (n = 51). Among the contributing institutions, Pancreas Center of the University of Chicago and the Health System of the University of Chicago had the highest number of publications (n = 17). In terms of individual authors, "Zeh HJ" and "Zureikat AH" led with 13 articles each. The high-frequency keywords in the literature encompassed three main areas: Surgical modality, perioperative outcomes, and the learning curve. These keywords were further categorized into seven primary clusters, with the largest being "laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy". The most influential studies predominantly originate from the United States, and there is growing interest in robotic surgery. Despite MIPD's potential benefits, further research is required to address technical challenges and improve outcomes.

Navigating the shots: Parental willingness to immunize their children with COVID-19 vaccines in Saudi Arabia explored through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Although COVID-19 vaccines have been recommended for children and adolescents since 2021, suboptimal vaccination uptake has been documented. No previous systematic review/meta-analysis (SRMA) investigated parents' willingness to administer COVID-19 vaccines for their children in Saudi Arabia. Accordingly, this SRMA aimed to estimate parents' willingness to immunize their children with COVID-19 vaccines in Saudi Arabia and to identify reasons and determinants influencing parents' decisions. This SRMA adhered to the PRISMA guidelines and the protocol was registered on PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023492760). An extensive systematic search was performed across electronic databases including Pub Med, Pub Med Central, ISI Web of science, Web of Science Core Collection, Medline, KCI-Korean Journal Database, ProQuest, and SciELO, to identify relevant studies published from January 1, 2020 to October 30, 2023. A random-effects model was utilized to estimate the pooled effects considering the expected variability across studies. Heterogeneity, risk of bias, publication bias and quality of studies were considered and evaluated by relevant appropriate tests to ensure robust results. Twenty-five studies with 30,844 parents were included. The overall pooled rate of parents who intended to immunize their children with COVID-19 vaccines was 48.0% (95% CI: 41.0-54.0%) with high heterogeneity (I2 = 99.42%). The main reason for parents to vaccinate children was to protect child, family and community from COVID-19. Perceived efficacy/safety of vaccines were the most significant determinants associated with parents' willingness to vaccinate children. This was the first SRMA from Saudi Arabia which emphasized the priority to focus on vaccine-related factors as main/key strategy of COVID-19 vaccines' drivers to convince parents in a logical way based on accurate cumulative and emerging scientific data about efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines to optimize their uptake by children/adolescents. This SRMA can provide valuable insights for development of evidence-based policies to improve parental willingness to vaccinate children, which is crucial for controlling SARS-CoV-2 spread and promoting herd immunity in the community particularly if the virus continues to pose a major threat.

Keyword outbreak analysis highlighted metabolic syndrome, hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance, hepatocellular carcinoma, cardiovascular disease, intestinal permeability, and intestinal bacterial overgrowth as prominent areas of intense research. Through the quantitative analysis of relevant literature, the current research focus and direction of gut microbiota and NAFLD can be more clearly understood, which helps us better understand the pathogenesis of NAFLD, and also opens up innovative solutions and strategies for the treatment of NAFLD.

Recent Discovery of Diverse Prophages Located in Genomes of Vibrio spp. and Their Implications for Bacterial Pathogenicity, Environmental Fitness, Genome Evolution, Food Safety, and Public Health

Bacteria in the genus Vibrio, including at least 152 species, thrive in marine and estuarine environments and are frequently detected in aquatic products worldwide. Of these, 12 species have been implicated in human infectious diseases, such as the life-threatening pandemic cholera, acute gastroenteritis, and severe sepsis. Nevertheless, molecular mechanisms of their pathogenesis are not fully uncovered yet. Prophages are found prevalent in Vibrio spp. genomes, carrying a number of genes with various functions. In this review, we deciphered the evolutionary relationship between prophages and Vibrio species and highlighted the impact of prophages on the bacterial pathogenicity, environmental fitness, and genome evolution, based on 149 newly discovered intact prophages located in the genomes of 82 Vibrio spp., which we searched and collected from Web of Science Core Collection in the most recent 5 years. The effects of prophages on resistance to superinfection, strain competition, and their regulation were also discussed. This review underscored crucial roles of prophages in shaping Vibrio spp. genomes and their implications for food safety and public health.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Neonatal Condition Research in Africa: Volume, Impact, Themes, and Collaboration

Background: The literature has addressed the negative impact of poor neonatal conditions (NCs) across regions. This has drawn attention to the need to improve NCs, particularly in Africa. NCs research can make an important contribution. However, there is no study dedicated to this topic in Africa. A bibliometric analysis of NCs research can assist scientists in planning ongoing and new NCs research and support those involved in developing and implementing strategies to combat poor NCs. Methods: This study used discipline-specific terms to identify articles on NCs published between 2000 and 2019 and indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) with at least one African author. A bibliometric analysis was applied to determine the volume, visibility, topics, and collaboration activities related to NCs research. Results: The results show that knowledge on NCs increased between 2000 and 2019; NCs research is concentrated in a few African countries (Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Kenya), and its visibility is below the world average. In general, maternal mortality is the most researched topic and collaborative activities are frequent, mainly international research collaboration (IRC), with the United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK) being the main partners (they participated in 57% and 28% of all articles with IRC). The collaboration networks are fragile as 43–67% of all links represent one article in 20 years. Conclusions: Ongoing and new NCs research in Africa should consider the main African players and their partners as important sources of knowledge. There is a need to implement strategies to increase NC knowledge in other African countries, expand and strengthen collaboration networks, and diversify the sources of knowledge.

Prognostic Value of CT-Derived Myocardial Extracellular Volume in Aortic Stenosis: A Meta-Analysis of All-Cause Mortality and Heart Failure Hospitalization

Abstract Aims Pre-existing myocardial fibrosis before aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a major cause of postoperative heart failure (HF). Evaluation of fibrosis by computed tomography extracellular volume (CT-ECV) may allow risk stratification for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) scheduled for transaortic AVR (TAVR) or surgical AVR (SAVR). We performed a meta-analysis to determine the prognostic value of CT-ECV for the prediction of adverse events in patients with severe AS scheduled for AVR. Methods and Results Electronic database searches of PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane advanced search, and EMBASE were performed. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine the association between CT-ECV and prognosis in patients with severe AS who underwent AVR. The diagnostic performance of CT-ECV for predicting composite adverse events (all-cause death and hospitalization for HF) was assessed using a pooled odds ratio (OR). Data from 902 patients with severe AS were extracted from 6 studies, including 881 TAVR and 21 SAVR cases. The pooled OR of abnormal CT-ECV for predicting adverse events was 4.53 [95% CI: 3.13–6.57, (I2 = 10%, p for heterogeneity = 0.50)]. We performed an OR meta-analysis on five studies with only TAVR cases (n = 807). The pooled OR of abnormal CT-ECV for predicting adverse events in TAVR patients was 4.85 (95% CI: 3.26 - 7.21 [I² = 0%, p < 0.001]). Conclusions Considering the high prognostic ability and versatility of CT-ECV, it may be used to predict postoperative adverse events in patients with severe AS who underwent AVR.

A meta-analysis of the effects of plyometric training on muscle strength and power in martial arts athletes

BackgroundPlyometric training (PT) was explored as an effective intervention for enhancing muscle strength and power. However, its specific impact on these attributes in martial arts athletes had not been systematically evaluated. Therefore, the objective of this meta-analysis was to provide a quantitative assessment of the impact of PT on muscle strength and power in martial arts athletes. Additionally, it aimed to investigate potential moderators that could influence this relationship.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted across several databases, including SPORTDiscus, PubMed, CNKI, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection. Studies were included if they were controlled trials that examined the effects of PT on measures of muscle strength and/or muscle power in martial arts athletes. Effect sizes (ESs) were calculated using a random-effects model based on weighted and averaged standardized mean differences. Moderator analyses were performed for variables related to age and training. The ROB2 and ROBINS-I tools were used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plots and the extended Egger’s test.ResultsThe analysis included fifteen studies with a total of 499 participants aged 12 to 24 years. The findings indicated that PT had a small-to-moderate effect on muscle strength (ES = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.38 to 0.87, p < 0.001) and power (ES = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.20 to 0.71, p = 0.001). Furthermore, neither age nor training parameters significantly moderated the effect of PT on muscle strength and power.ConclusionsThe findings of the present study indicated that PT effectively enhanced muscle strength and power in martial arts athletes. However, additional trials are recommended to determine the optimal training doses and further explore the interactions among training variables to improve muscle strength and power in these athletes.Trial registrationhttps//www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?

Bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of rheumatology departments in Spain during the 2013-2022 period.

Bibliometric studies of scientific production in Spanish Rheumatology are scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the bibliographic production of Rheumatology Services in Spain over the period 2013-2022. Original articles and reviews with the affiliation of the first or corresponding author to a Spanish rheumatology Service/Department/Section/Unit were identified in the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases. Keywords and titles were used to classify articles by field (clinical, epidemiological or basic) and pathology. International collaborations and collaborations between Autonomous Communities (AC) were identified. Quantitative bibliometric indicators were obtained (number of articles published per year, pathology and AC) and impact indicators were obtained (based on the number of citations per article). The H-index was also calculated. The total number of publications was 2321, with an annual growth rate of 4.1% in the period analyzed. In 14.1% of the articles there were international collaborations, mainly with the United States and the United Kingdom, while between ACs the most numerous were between Madrid and Catalonia. The pathologies with the highest H-index were rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthropathies (SpA), osteoarthritis and vasculitis (34, 32, 28 and 26, respectively). The H-index for the Spanish rheumatology services as a whole was 69. The scientific production of rheumatology services/departments/sections/units in our country increased between 2013 and 2022. By pathology, the scientific production in RA and SpA stands out.

The Level of Adherence to Organic Food Consumption and Risk of Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The available literature reports inconclusive findings regarding the frequency of organic food consumption and cancer incidence. This systematic review evaluated the effect of the frequency of organic food consumption on overall and site-specific cancer risk. Four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and Embase), the gray literature, and the reference lists of the included reports were searched for eligible studies. Study screening, data abstraction, and risk of bias assessment were performed by two independent examiners. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals using a random effects model were utilized to synthesize the available data from the included studies. There was no difference between the two interventions regarding overall cancer (HR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.78–1.12), breast cancer (HR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.81–1.26), colorectal cancer (HR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.93–1.10), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma risks (HR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.17–2.94). The findings suggest that the overall and site-specific cancer risk are not associated with the frequency of consumption of organic foods. Further research is necessary to provide more evidence for the role of organic food consumption on the incidence of cancer using homogeneous methodologies to define the frequency of organic food consumption.
