Trends and hotspots related to traditional and modern approaches on acupuncture for stroke: A bibliometric and visualization analysis

Background: Acupuncture role in stroke treatment and post-stroke rehabilitation has garnered significant attention. However, there is a noticeable gap in bibliometric studies on this topic. Additionally, the precision and comprehensive methodology of cluster analysis remain underexplored. This research sought to introduce an innovative cluster analysis technique (called follower-leading clustering algorithm, FLCA) to evaluate global publications and trends related to acupuncture for stroke in the recent decade. Methods: Publications pertaining to acupuncture for stroke from 2013 to 2022 were sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection. For the assessment of publication attributes—including contributing countries/regions (e.g., US states, provinces, and major cities in China) in comparison to others, institutions, departments, authors, journals, and keywords—we employed bibliometric visualization tools combined with the FLCA algorithm. The analysis findings, inclusive of present research status, prospective trends, and 3 influential articles, were presented through bibliometrics with visualizations. Results: We identified 1050 publications from 92 countries/regions. An initial gradual rise in publication numbers was observed until 2019, marking a pivotal juncture. Prominent contributors in research, based on criteria such as regions, institutions, departments, and authors, were Beijing (China), Beijing Univ Chinese Med (China), the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, and Lidian Chen (Fujian). The journal “Evid. -based Complement Altern” emerged as the most productive. The FLCA algorithm was effectively employed for co-word and author collaboration analyses. Furthermore, we detail the prevailing research status, anticipated trends, and 3 standout articles via bibliometrics. Conclusion: Acupuncture for stroke presents a vast research avenue. It is imperative for scholars from various global regions and institutions to transcend academic boundaries to foster dialogue and cooperation. For forthcoming bibliometric investigations, the application of the FLCA algorithm for cluster analysis is advocated.
Experimental study on the dynamic deformation characteristics of volcanic soil "Shirasu" on equivalent granular void ratio

Shirasu is a volcamic soil which is widely distributed in South Kyushu in Japan. It contains non plastic fines which was created by its fragment of coarse particles. In this study, a series of bender element tests on Shirasu was performed with varying its fines content. As a result, it was observed that the shear modulus of Shiarasu was decreased with increasing the fines content although void ratio decreased as fines content increased. However, it was found that there is a unique relationship between shear moduli of Shirasu and the equivalent granular void ratio, in which the proper contribution factor b for fines was assumed. Based on the findings in the study, an empirical formula to express the shear moduls of Shirasu with various fines content was developed as the function of the fines content, the equivalent granular void ratio and the effective confining stress.
Retrieval of stratospheric temperatures from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder radiance measurements for gravity wave studies

[1] The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on board the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Aqua satellite has been continuously measuring mid-infrared nadir and sub-limb radiance spectra since summer of 2002. These measurements are utilized to retrieve three-dimensional stratospheric temperature distributions by applying a new fast forward model for AIRS and an accompanying optimal estimation retrieval processor. The retrieval scheme presented in this article does not require simultaneous observations of microwave instruments like the AIRS operational analyses. Instead, independent retrievals are carried out at the full horizontal sampling capacity of the instrument. Horizontal resolution is enhanced by a factor 3 in along- and across-track directions compared with the AIRS operational data. The total retrieval error of the individual temperature measurements is 1.6 to 3.0 K in the altitude range from 20 to 60 km. Retrieval noise is 1.4 to 2.1 K in the same vertical range. Contribution of a priori information to the retrieval results is less than 1% to 2% and the vertical resolution of the observations is about 7 to 15 km. The temperature measurements are successfully compared with ECMWF operational analyses and AIRS operational Level 2 data. The new temperature data set is well suited for studies of stratospheric gravity waves. We present AIRS observations of small-scale gravity waves induced by deep convection near Darwin, Australia, in January 2003. A strong mountain wave event over the Andes in June 2005 is analyzed in detail. Temperature perturbations derived from the new data set are compared with results from the AIRS operational Level 2 data and coincident measurements of the High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS). The new retrieval does not show response to wave perturbations if the vertical wavelength is below 10 km. For 15 km vertical wavelength, the amplitudes are damped by a factor of two. For vertical wavelengths of greater than 20 km, AIRS shows very similar wave structure to HIRDLS and also has the advantage of providing horizontal phase front information. Data from the new full-resolution retrieval are far more suitable for gravity wave studies than results from the AIRS operational analysis.
Correlations Between State-Level Monitoring and Screening Rates and Early Identified ASD/DD Across Racial and Ethnic Groups

This study combined data from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH; 2016–2019) to develop state-level percentages of Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic other race, and non-Hispanic White children receiving developmental screening and/or monitoring and diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or developmental delay (ASD/DD). Analyses for the entire sample indicated no significant correlations between state-level screening/monitoring and ASD/DD; stratified analyses indicated correlations between monitoring and ASD/DD for Black populations and conjoint monitoring/screening and ASD/DD for Hispanic populations. Findings are contextualized around the limitations of the NSCH items, scope of community partners engaged in screening and monitoring, the importance of monitoring for identifying Black and Hispanic children with ASD/DD, and the utility of the NSCH's multiyear design.
Spinal Cord Injury Management Policies in High School Sports as Reported by Athletic Administrators

ABSTRACT Introduction/Purpose Athletic administrators (AA) in U.S. high schools are uniquely positioned to provide guidance and endorsement for the prevention and management of common sport-related catastrophic injuries, such as the development of a spinal cord injury management (SCIM) policy. The purpose of this project was to evaluate AA’s knowledge of comprehensive SCIM policies in U.S. high schools. Secondarily, we aimed to investigate the factors, facilitators, and barriers to the development and adoption of comprehensive policies. Methods An online questionnaire was distributed to 6423 AA working in U.S.-based high school athletics, with 366 included in the final data analysis. The questionnaire evaluated AA’s knowledge of comprehensive SCIM policies addressing components of adoption, documentation, and communication. The questionnaire was developed based on the 2002 “National Athletic Trainers’ Association Position Statement: Acute Management of the Cervical Spine-Injured Athlete. ” The questionnaire also inquired about facilitators and barriers to developing and adopting comprehensive policies. Proportions were calculated for policy adoption, and independent-samples t-tests evaluated the influence of athletic training services on comprehensive SCIM policies. Results About half of AA (49.2%, n = 180/366) reported having all recommended components of a written SCIM policy. AA who had access to an athletic trainer (yes = 62.9%, no = 18.1%, unknown = 19%) were more likely to have a comprehensive SCIM policy compared with those without access (80.6% vs 19.4%, χ21 = 7.091, P = 0.008, prevalence ratio = 1.24, 95% confidence interval = 1.03–1.50). The most commonly reported facilitator (49.9%) was “having a medical professional at the school,” and the main barrier (30.2%) was “my school would need more information, resources, assistance, etc.” Conclusions The findings identify areas for improvement in supporting the health and safety of children in high school participating in interscholastic athletics. Future dissemination and implementation research should develop strategies tailored to individual school community and need to improve SCIM policy adoption and implementation.
Busch-Hoffa fracture: A systematic review

Background: Accomplish a thorough review on the existing biomechanical and clinical studies about coronal plane fractures of the distal femur. Methods: We performed an electronic search of PubMed/MEDLINE database from April to June, 2023. The terms for the database search included “Hoffa fractures,” OR “Busch-Hoffa fractures” OR “coronal plane fractures of the distal femur. ” Results: The search identified 277 potentially eligible studies. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 113 articles were analyzed in terms of the most important topics related to coronal plane fractures of the distal femur. Conclusion: Lateral coronal plane fractures of the distal femur are more frequent than medial, present a more vertical fracture line, and usually concentrate on the weight bearing zone of the condyle. The Letenneur system is the most used classification method for this fracture pattern. Posterior-to-anterior fixation using isolated lag screws (for osteochondral fragments—Letenneur type 2) or associated with a posterior buttressing plate (when the fracture pattern is amenable for plate fixation—Letenneur types 1 and 3) is biomechanically more efficient than anterior-to-posterior fixation. Anterior-to-posterior fixation using lag screws complemented or not by a plate remains a widely used treatment option due to the surgeons’ familiarity with the anterior approaches and lower risk of iatrogenic neurovascular injuries. There is no consensus in the literature regarding diameter and number of screws for fixation of coronal plane fractures of the distal femur.
Second-trimester Abortion

In 2019, the US Centers for Disease Control reported that 7% of abortions were performed after 13 weeks of pregnancy, a small proportion of all terminations. However, the need for second-trimester abortions will increase commensurate with restrictions to access nationwide. Second-trimester abortions are performed with medications or through a procedure. Health care practitioners serving persons at risk of pregnancy should understand how abortions are performed and how to deliver evidence-based postabortion care. The purpose of this article is to provide a foundation for caring for individuals before, during, and after second-trimester abortion.

Lateral epicondylitis

Purpose of review The present article reviews the most recent research into the anatomy, pathophysiology, and treatments, including nonsurgical and surgical options, of lateral epicondylitis. Recent findings Despite numerous studies of lateral epicondylitis, much regarding the pathophysiology and best treatment options remains uncertain. Recent research has improved understanding of the etiology of lateral epicondylitis, suggesting anatomic and vascular components of its development. Additionally, research in nonsurgical treatment has indicated that the short-term benefit of corticosteroids might be reversed in the long term, has suggested that physical therapy might be the best of the established options, and has presented several novel treatments. It is clear that all common surgical approaches yield good-to-excellent results, but it remains unclear which surgical treatment is best. Summary Lateral epicondylitis is a common cause of lateral elbow pain, first described more than 100 years ago. The condition has not been well characterized, although it has been frequently studied. Recent research has shed more light on the complex etiology of this disorder, which is helping to elucidate the best method of treatment.
The Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid Content Reported in the Nutrition Panel of Fish Oil Supplements and Formula Milks Promoted for Young Children in Selected Markets

The aim of this study was to investigate the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content found in fish oil supplements and formula milks for young children sold in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa's local markets and online stores. To allow comparison of fish oil supplements and formula milks, information about the EPA and DHA content was collected from the nutrition panel of each product. A total of 79 fish oil supplements and 70 formula milks were studied. Out of the 32 fish oil supplements in local markets 12 products (37.5%) and of the 47 fish oil supplements in Amazon online stores 12 products (25.5%) contained more EPA than DHA. The highest DHA:EPA ratio for fish oil supplements was 4.6. The percentage of Recommended Dietary Intake for DHA, based on 250 mg daily, ranged from 3.2% to 558% for the fish oil supplements, and the range of 0.4% to 25.2% was found for the formula milks. Fish oil supplements provided high daily dose of DHA, which was significantly higher than that provided by the formula milks.
Working Condition and Job Satisfaction of Nurses as Predicting Factors of the Prevalence of Health care-associated Infections among Elderly Inpatients

Background: Health care-Associated Infections (HCAIs) are among the most common adverse events (AEs) that can negatively affect both patients and health systems. The elderly is among patients at high risk for infections. Some controllable risk factors have received less attention in research. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between prevalence of HCAIs among elderly inpatients, job satisfaction of nurses, and working condition. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 211 nurses working in hospitals affiliated with Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, in 2021. The data were collected from HCAIs reports by the Nosocomial Infection Control Committee, a demographic questionnaire, the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). The data were statistically analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, ANOVA, t-test, and multiple linear regression (MLR) in SPSS 26. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the PES-NWI and MSQ (r = 0.68, p < 0.00). The MLR results indicated that staffing and resource adequacy, nurse participation in hospital affairs, job satisfaction, nursing manager's leadership, and nursing foundations for quality of care are predictive factors that these could explain 78% of the changes in the prevalence of HCAIs and the goodness of fit of the regression model was acceptable [F6.210 = 129.47, p < 0.001]. Conclusions: Since job satisfaction and the work condition could predict HCAIs among the elderly patients, healthcare administers are recommended to consider these two variables in the development of HCAIs prevention and control programs.
Sleep position

Aims— To investigate and compare heart rate variability (HRV) and responses of heart rate and arousal to head-up tilting in infants sleeping prone and supine. Methods —Thirty seven healthy infants aged 2–4 months were studied. HRV was measured for 500 beats while they were in a horizontal position. Subjects were then tilted 60 (cid:176) head-up, and heart rate recorded over 1 minute and arousal responses observed. Data were collected during both quiet and active sleep for both prone and supine sleep positions. Results —HRV, as assessed by the point dispersion of Poincaré plots, was signiﬁ-cantly reduced in the prone position for both sleep states. Sleep position did not inﬂuence the changes in heart rate seen during a head-up tilt. Full awakening to the tilt was common in active sleep but signiﬁcantly less so in the prone position (15% of prone tests vs 54% supine). Full awakening to the tilt rarely occurred during quiet sleep in either sleep position. Conclusion —This study provides some evidence that blunted arousal responses and/or altered autonomic function are a feature of the prone sleeping position.
Racial Sorting and the Emergence of Segregation in American Cities

Abstract Residential segregation by race grew sharply during the early twentieth century as black migrants from the South arrived in northern cities. Using newly assembled neighborhood-level data, we provide the first systematic evidence on the impact of prewar population dynamics within cities on the emergence of the American ghetto. Leveraging exogenous changes in neighborhood racial composition, we show that white flight in response to black arrivals was quantitatively large and accelerated between 1900 and 1930. A key implication of our findings is that segregation could have arisen solely from the flight behavior of whites.
STANDARDIZED CPUE FOR BLUE SHARKS CAUGHT BY THE JAPANESE LONGLINE FISHERY IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, 1971-2003

SUMMARY The standardized catch per unit effort (CPUE) for blue shark caught by Japanese longline fishery in the Atlantic Ocean was updated using logbook data from 1971-2003 filtered such that only those cruises which reported catching at least one shark in at least 70% of all sets were retained. For most of this period, shark catches were not classified, therefore all sharks are assumed to be blue sharks. Blue shark CPUEs indicate relatively stable trends during the past three decades for North, South and whole Atlantic stock hypotheses. RESUME La capture par unite d’effort (CPUE) standardisee du requin peau bleue capture par la pecherie palangriere japonaise dans l’ocean Atlantique a ete actualisee a l’aide des donnees des carnets de bord de 1971-2003 filtrees de telle maniere que seules les sorties ou il a ete declare une capture d’au moins un requin dans au moins 70% de toutes les operations ont ete retenues. Pour la plupart de cette periode, les prises de requins n’ont pas ete classifiees, c’est pourquoi on postule que tous les requins sont des requins peaux bleues. Les CPUE des requins peaux bleues indiquent des tendances relativement stables au cours des trois dernieres decennies pour les hypotheses des stocks de l’Atlantique Nord, Sud et de l’ensemble de l’Atlantique. RESUMEN Se ha actualizado la captura por unidad de esfuerzo (CPUE) estandarizada para la tintorera capturada por la pesqueria japonesa de palangre en el Oceano Atlantico utilizando datos de los cuadernos de pesca desde 1971 hasta 2003 filtrados de tal forma que solo se han mantenido aquellas campanas en las que se declaro la captura de al menos un tiburon en al menos el 70% de todos los lances. Para la mayoria de este periodo, las capturas de tiburones no estan clasificadas, por lo que se asume que todos los tiburones son tintoreras. Las CPUE de la tintorera indican tendencias relativamente estables durante las tres decadas pasadas para las hipotesis de stock del Atlantico norte, sur y total.
Oral glucose gel in the prevention of neonatal hypoglycemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) is the most prevalent metabolic disorder in neonates and glucose gel in oral solution is a relatively new treatment option for NH. We aimed to determine whether oral glucose gel can prevent NH. Methods: We conducted an open literature search using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. We used relative risk as the statistical data, expressed each outcome effect as a 95% confidence interval, and conducted a heterogeneity test. If heterogeneity statistics indicated that I2 was ≥ 50%, the random effects model analysis was used; otherwise, the fixed effects model analysis was conducted, and sensitivity analyses were conducted for all outcomes. Results: In this review, we included a total of 10 studies involving 4801 neonates. Meta-analysis revealed that there were no significant differences between the preventive oral glucose gel group and the control group in terms of blood glucose concentration, glucose concentration 30 minutes after the first breastfeeding, length of stay, Bayley-III composite score, subsequent need for intravenous injection of glucose, 24-hour glucose > 50 mg/dL, separation from mother for treatment of hypoglycemia/admitted to neonatal intensive care unit for hypoglycemia, normoglycemia after 1 to 2 treatments, or normoglycemia after more than 2 treatments, breastfeeding at discharge, delayed feeding, neurosensory impairment, parental satisfaction, developmental delay, and seizure. The subsequent intake was significantly lower in the glucose gel group compared to the control group. Interpretation: The use of oral glucose gel as a preventative measure may not reduce the incidence of NH. In order to assess the efficacy of glucose gel in preventing NH, a more high-quality, large-sample, and rigorously designed randomized controlled trial is required.
