Harmful Effects

Abstract: The studies on artificial dyes and their harmful effects on health are still being produced in small quantities, and this lack of theoretical background can cause the contradiction existent among them. The goal of this work was to characterize the scientific production about genetic damages associated with the use of food colorings. In this study a survey was carried out in the Scopus database with the following keywords: food dyes, mutatios and câncer, in the title, summary or keywords of the article, from the period of 2006 to 2015, in the areas of Health and life sciences. After data collection and tabulation, a descriptive statistics analysis was performed. The year with the greatest number of publications was 2013, but the number of articles have not increased over the years (p = 0.0632). Only one author stood out, Shibutani, M. with 5 publications and medicine was the area of knowledge that most published about the subject, with 30.63%. A greater number of original articles were observed (72%) and the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology published more articles in the period studied. Only eleven institutions published three or more articles and the United States was the country with the largest number of publications (62), and the most used language in the studies was English (93%), the indocyanine green dye appeared in a greater number in the studies (20%), followed by curcuminoids (17%). The low number of publications on food colorings associated with cancer demonstrates that more studies should be developed in the area, given the importance to human health, since there is an overuse of these additives in food in general.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a produção científica sobre danos genéticos associados ao uso de corantes alimentares. Neste estudo foi feito um levantamento na base de dados Scopus com as seguintes palavras-chave: food dyes, mutations and câncer, no título, resumo ou palavras-chave do artigo, no período de 2006 a 2015, nas áreas de ciências da saúde e ciências da vida. Após o levantamento e tabulação dos dados foi realizada uma análise de estatística descritiva e análise de correlação de Spearman. O ano com maior número de publicações foi 2013, mas o número de artigos não aumentou ao longo dos anos (p= 0,0632). Apenas um autor se destacou, Shibutani, M. com 5 publicações e medicina foi a área do conhecimento que mais publicou sobre o assunto, com 30,63%. Observou-se um maior número de artigos originais (72%) e o periódico Food and Chemical Toxicology publicou mais artigos no período estudado. Apenas onze instituições publicaram três ou mais artigos e os Estados Unidos foi o país com o maior número de publicações (62), sendo que o idioma mais utilizado nos estudos foi o inglês (93%), o corante verde de indocyanina apareceu em maior número nos estudos (20%), seguido pelos curcuminóides (17%). O baixo número de publicações sobre corantes alimentares associados a câncer demonstra que mais estudos deveriam ser desenvolvidos na área, dada a importância para a saúde humana, uma vez que há um uso excessivo desses aditivos nos alimentos em geral.

A range of different methods and tools have been proposed by both academics and professionals in recent years for evaluating the quality of websites. Some are of general application and can be used to assess any type of website, while others have been adapted to the specialized characteristics of the websites employed in a given sector. This paper undertakes an analysis of existing scientific production in this field, with the aim of identifying its most relevant publications, its principal authors and the specific sectors served by the sites under evaluation. By triangulating review methods, 716 texts, published between 2000 and 2018, were identified in Scopus, Web of Science and other databases and examined. In addition to basic bibliographic information, the number of citations received by each text was recorded using Google Scholar. The area of knowledge in which each author works was also categorized based on his or her specific affiliations. The results point to a growing interest in website quality in a scientific community that has a presence in more than 70 countries. Its authors are drawn from various disciplines, although the highest number of publications is recorded in computer science, business and medical informatics. The most frequently cited texts are in fact seminal books in the associated disciplines of usability, information architecture and user experience. However, as of 2007, the number of texts describing evaluation tools for the websites of specific sectors – most notably, education (33%), health (27%) and commerce (21%) – increased their share. In conclusion, it is evident that website quality is a field of study undergoing constant growth and increasing specialization and one that offers ample opportunities for research.

Aim: Despite the increase in international research in art therapy, few studies have been developed with a bibliometric approach which describe the situation regarding this area of knowledge. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe and contextualize international scientific production in the visual arts modality in the context of artistic therapies, to offer a broader and more in-depth vision of the structure of this area of knowledge through of a bibliometric analysis of the publications indexed in the core collection of the Web of Science.Methods: This is a retrospective, exploratory and descriptive, cross-sectional study to analyze the bibliographic data retrieved from the databases of the core collection. The analysis parameters included the data corresponding to the production according to type of document, country, journal, and institution. In addition, the main lines of research were located and classified and the subject matter of the most cited articles in each of them was summarized. Four periods were selected, between 1994 and 2020, to facilitate the thematic analysis and offer an evolutionary perspective of art therapy research.Results: A total of 563 works were published, in 250 journals, in the 63 years between 1958, when the first document was published, and April 2021. The annual growth rate was 7.3% with a mean average of 8.7 publications per year, and 83.13% of the published works were articles. A total of 1,269 authors from 56 countries were counted. The mean number of citations per document was 5.6 and the mean number of citations per document and year was 0.6. The main research domains were psychology and/or rehabilitation and the highest production on this topic was concentrated in only three journals. In general, a high degree of variability was observed in the study topics and numerous theoretical and methodological articles. The most used visual arts modalities were in the main drawing, painting and photography.Conclusion: This work did not find previous existence of any bibliometric analysis on the international scientific production in art therapy. In general terms, there has been a substantial growth in the number of publications on the subject over the last decade. However, this research area does not appear to have peaked, but, on the contrary, is still growing and progressing despite its long history in clinical practice.

Background. Neuropathic pain has long been a very popular and productive field of clinical research. Neuropathic pain is difficult to cure radically because of its complicated etiology and uncertain pathogenesis. As pain worsens and persists, pain recovery techniques become more important, and medication alone is insufficient. No summary of bibliometric studies on neuropathic pain rehabilitation is yet available. The purpose of the present study is to analyze in a systematic manner the trends of neuropathic pain rehabilitation research over the period of 2000–2019. Methods. Studies related to neuropathic pain rehabilitation and published between January 2000 and December 2019 were obtained from the Science Citation Index-Expanded of Web of Science. No restrictions on language, literature type, or species were established. CiteSpace V and Microsoft Excel were used to capture basic information and highlights in the field. Results. Linear regression analysis showed that the number of publications on neuropathic pain rehabilitation significantly increased over time ( P < 0.001 ). The United States showed absolute strength in terms of number of papers published, influence, and cooperation with other countries. Based on the subject categories of the Web of Science, “Rehabilitation” had the highest number of published papers (446), the highest number of citations (10,954), and the highest number of open-access papers (151); moreover, this category and “Clinical Neurology” had the same H -index (i.e., 52). “Randomized Controlled Trials” revealed the largest cluster in the cocitation map of references. The latest burst keywords included “Exercise” (2014–2019), “Functional Recovery” (2015–2019), and “Questionnaire” (2015–2019). Conclusion. This study provides valuable information for neuropathic pain rehabilitation researchers seeking fresh viewpoints related to collaborators, cooperative institutions, and popular topics in this field. Some new research trends are also highlighted.

Abstract Background Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor that occurs in children and adolescents. Increasing numbers of scholars have studied its development and treatment. To fully understand the current status of osteosarcoma research and global trends therein, we performed a bibliometric and visual analysis of osteosarcoma studies published between 1999 and 2019. Methods We searched the Web of Science database for publications on osteosarcoma. The basic characteristics of this sample of publications, such as H indices, annual outputs, languages of publication, and authors, journals, institutions, and countries of origin, were determined. Co-citation, collaboration, and keyword co-occurrence were analyzed using CiteSpace software. Results The sample comprised 16,934 articles. The number of publications increased annually. H indices and total numbers of citations were far higher for articles from the United States than for those from other countries. Among institutions, the largest proportion of articles originated from Shanghai Jiaotong University. R. Gorlick was the author with the highest H index and total number of citations. Oncology Letters published the largest number of articles and Cancer Research was the most frequently cited journal. The five most frequently appearing keywords were “osteosarcoma,” “cancer,” “expression,” “apoptosis,” and “metastasis.” The analysis generated 10 major clusters of keywords and 23 clusters of co-cited references. Conclusions The findings of this study have guiding significance for researchers seeking cooperating institutions and partners for osteosarcoma research, popular journals and important literature in the field, an understanding of the knowledge base for this research, and up-to-date identification of research hotspots and trends.
