Introduction. Adhesive process of the pelvic organs is a pressing issue for operative gynecology that does not allow to consider results of therapeutic and preventive measures as sufficient.Aim: to analyze published data regarding contemporary aspects of etiopathogenesis of the adhesive process in pelvic organs as well as methods of its prevention.Materials and Methods. The literature sources retrieved from electronic databases PubMed, Embase, Medline, Ovid HealthSTAR, Cochrane, Google Scholar, eLibrary, CyberLeninka as well as scientific articles published in peer-reviewed open access journals over the last 30 years, including basic research in the field have been analyzed. While searching, the following keywords and their combinations in Russian and English were used: "adhesive process of the pelvic organs", "pathogenesis of the adhesive process", "prevention of the adhesive process", "gynecology", "pelvic adhesions", "pathogenesis of adhesions", "аdhesion prophylaxis", "gynecology".Results. The current aspects of the etiology and pathogenesis for adhesive process have been summarized. Existing adhesion classifications are presented. The proposed methods for preventing formation of peritoneal adhesions are described exerting most prominent effectiveness as well as describing the properties and characteristics according to the application method, the composition of contained substances and drug form. A phenotype profile of peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid lymphocytes from patients with adhesive process remains debated.Conclusion. A need to further examine formation of peritoneal adhesions at molecular and cellular levels for developing a comprehensive pathogenetically substantiated method to prevent and treat adhesions of the pelvic organs is in demand.

Abstract Background Along with emerging open access journals (OAJ) predatory journals increasingly appear. As they harm accurate and good scientific research, we aimed to examine the awareness of predatory journals and open access publishing among orthopaedic and trauma surgeons. Methods In an online survey between August and December 2019 the knowledge on predatory journals and OAJ was tested with a hyperlink made available to the participants via the German Society for Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU) email distributor. Results Three hundred fifty orthopaedic and trauma surgeons participated, of which 291 complete responses (231 males (79.4%), 54 females (18.6%) and 5 N/A (2.0%)) were obtained. 39.9% were aware of predatory journals. However, 21.0% knew about the “Directory of Open Access Journals” (DOAJ) as a register for non-predatory open access journals. The level of profession (e.g. clinic director, consultant) (p = 0.018) influenced the awareness of predatory journals. Interestingly, participants aware of predatory journals had more often been listed as corresponding authors (p < 0.001) and were well published as first or last author (p < 0.001). Awareness of OAJ was masked when journal selection options did not to provide any information on the editorial board, the peer review process or the publication costs. Conclusion The impending hazard of predatory journals is unknown to many orthopaedic and trauma surgeons. Early stage clinical researchers must be trained to differentiate between predatory and scientifically accurate journals.

ObjectiveTo estimate the financial costs paid by individual medical researchers from meeting the article processing charges (APCs) levied by open access journals in 2019.DesignCross-sectional analysis.Data sourcesScopus was used to generate two random samples of researchers, the first with a senior author article indexed in the ‘Medicine’ subject area (general researchers) and the second with an article published in the ten highest-impact factor general clinical medicine journals (high-impact researchers) in 2019. For each researcher, Scopus was used to identify all first and senior author original research or review articles published in 2019. Data were obtained from Scopus, institutional profiles, Journal Citation Reports, publisher databases, the Directory of Open Access Journals, and individual journal websites.Main outcome measuresMedian APCs paid by general and high-impact researchers for all first and senior author research and review articles published in 2019.ResultsThere were 241 general and 246 high-impact researchers identified as eligible for our study. In 2019, the general and high-impact researchers published a total of 914 (median 2, IQR 1–5) and 1471 (4, 2–8) first or senior author research or review articles, respectively. 42% (384/914) of the articles from the general researchers and 29% (428/1471) of the articles from the high-impact medical researchers were published in fully open access journals. The median total APCs paid by general researchers in 2019 was US$191 (US$0–US$2500) and the median total paid by high-impact researchers was US$2900 (US$0–US$5465); the maximum paid by a single researcher in total APCs was US$30115 and US$34676, respectively.ConclusionsMedical researchers in 2019 were found to have paid between US$0 and US$34676 in total APCs. As journals with APCs become more common, it is important to continue to evaluate the potential cost to researchers, especially on individuals who may not have the funding or institutional resources to cover these costs.
