Research on melatonin remains one of the major hot spots in the field of disease treatment, but relevant data are numerous. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the progress of melatonin research through the method of bibliometrics and to predict hot spots and trends in melatonin research. This study retrieved all the studies on melatonin from 2000 to 2019 in the Web of Science and PubMed and analysed the publishing trends in the literature on a bibliometric online analysis platform and CiteSpace software. The research results were also visually analysed to summarize melatonin research hot spots through gCLUTO and pubMR. The study retrieved a total of 20,351 publications, of which the number of US publications ranked first, accounting for 21.46%, with the greatest impact (centrality = 0.31). The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and Harvard University had the highest average number of citations at 43.19 and 33.96, respectively. Journal of Pineal Research had the highest average number of citations in 2,993 journals. Professor Reiter made the largest contribution to this area. We further analysed 100 highly cited articles for clinical applications and ongoing related clinical drug trials based on the first hot spot. We systematically analysed melatonin for nearly 20 years while predicting the main research trends in the future, which may provide new directions and ideas for melatonin research. The structure and normal physiological functions of melatonin have been intensively studied in the past few years. And clinical application research and target of melatonin treatment for different diseases and target-based drug design will certainly become the focus of melatonin research.

This chapter discusses using a broad humanities perspective to teach medical students about climate change. It argues that the humanities can recover a more robust approach to bioethics and serve as a bridge between students’ professional training and their own spiritual and moral convictions. The chapter describes a short elective course taught to first- and second-year students at the McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. It concludes with a class exercise in which students read the Physician Charter and write a short paper that takes one commitment from the charter and applies it to climate change.

A computerized information-gathering system has been developed at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas for otolaryngologic head and neck surgery. Surgeons enter data on operations by answering multiple-choice questions at computer terminals situated near the operating rooms of each hospital. The system's main functions are to ensure completeness in the collection of operation data, allow easy review of such data for weekly conferences, and increase availability of such information for future comprehensive analysis. The scheme for data input, the logics of classifications, and the benefits of such a system are described.

Introduction: Oral health mirrors systemic health; yet, few clinics worldwide provide dental care as part of primary medical care, nor are dental records commonly integrated with medical records. Objectives: To determine the degree to which misreporting of underlying health conditions poses problems for dental clinicians, we assessed misreporting of 2 common medical health conditions—hypertension and diabetes—at the time of dental examination and assessment. Methods: Using comparative chart analysis, we analyzed medical records of a diverse group of patients previously seen at the University of Texas Physician outpatient practice and then treated at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Dentistry. Electronic health records of patients aged ≥18 y were extracted from 2 databases: Allscripts (University of Texas Physician) and axiUm (University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston). We identified 1,013 patients with the commonly occurring conditions of diabetes, hypertension, or both, with nonintegrated records contained in Allscripts and axiUm. We identified the percentage of those patients previously diagnosed with diabetes and/or hypertension by their physicians who failed to report these conditions to their dental clinicians. Results: Of those patients with diabetes, 15.1% misreported their diabetes condition to their dental clinicians, while 29.0% of patients with hypertension also misreported. There was no relationship between sex and misreporting of hypertension or diabetes, but age significantly affected reporting of hypertension, with misreporting decreasing with age. Conclusions: Because these conditions affect treatment planning in the dental clinic, misreporting of underlying medical conditions can have negative outcomes for dental patients. We conclude that policies that support the integration of medical and dental records would meaningfully increase the quality of health care delivered to patients, particularly those dental patients with underlying medical conditions. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Our study illustrates an urgent need for policy innovation within a currently fragmented health care delivery system. Dental clinicians rely on the accuracy of health information provided by patients, which we found was misreported in ~15% to 30% of dental patient records. An integrated health care system can close these misreporting gaps. Policies that support the integration of medical and dental records can improve the quality of health care delivered, particularly for dental patients with underlying medical conditions.
