Se ofrecen una serie de indicadores relativos a productividad diacrónica, personal e institucional, revistas-fuente y patrones de citación de autores, los cuales dan una visión cienciometríca de la producción investigadora española en esta disciplina médica durante los últimos 33 años.This paper inquiry about the Spanish research in Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine retrieved from the Science Citation Index database of Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) of Philadelphia during the period 1974-2006. Scientometrics indicators relative to longitudinal production, authors and institutional productivity and authors’ citation patterns are offered, which allowed a background of the internationalist production of this medical discipline in Spain

Effects of the “MAMI Deporte®” Family Sports Program on Parents’ Motivation towards Sport Participation: A Randomized Controlled Intervention

As most parents do not meet physical activity (PA) recommendations, new PA promotion strategies need to be developed considering the role of motivation as an essential underlying factor of PA behavior. Recreational sports programs practiced in the family would represent an effective strategy to promote PA for the entire family in general, and for parents in particular. Building upon self-determination theory, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the Active Methodology for Improving Sports Initiation (MAMI Deporte®) program on parents’ behavioral regulation. The participants were 58 parents (50% men) and 78 children (48.71% boys), who were randomized into a control group (29 parents and 39 children), which followed its habitual sports activity over 8 months, and an experimental group (29 parents and 39 children), which completed the MAMI Deporte® program. Specifically, the MAMI Deporte® program focused on simultaneous participation between parents and children in multisports activities, including 32 lessons distributed into 2 h/week for 8 months. Pre-and-post-intervention measures were collected. The results showed significant differences in the parents’ level of intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, identified regulation and introjected regulation in favor of the experimental group. Nonsignificant effects were found for gender. These results were discussed, highlighting the internalization process of the value of sport in the family experienced by parents after the MAMI Deporte® family-based sports program.University of Granada 15-8

sRNAbench and sRNAtoolbox 2022 update: accurate miRNA and sncRNA profiling for model and non-model organisms

European Union [765492 to M.H.]; Spanish Government [AGL2017-88702-C2-2-R to M.H.]; Chair 'Doctors Galera-Requena in cancer stem cell research' (to J.A.M.); Tromsoforskningsstiftelse (TFS) [20 SG BF 'MIRevolution' to B.F.]; Stichting Cancer Center Amsterdam [CCA2021-9-77 to C.G]; TKI-Health Holland ['AQrate' project to C.G. and M.P.]. This publication is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 765492.The NCBI Sequence Read Archive currently hosts microRNA sequencing data for over 800 different species, evidencing the existence of a broad taxonomic distribution in the field of small RNA research. Simultaneously, the number of samples per miRNA-seq study continues to increase resulting in a vast amount of data that requires accurate, fast and user-friendly analysis methods. Since the previous release of sRNAtoolbox in 2019, 55 000 sRNAbench jobs have been submitted which has motivated many improvements in its usability and the scope of the underlying annotation database. With this update, users can upload an unlimited number of samples or import them from Google Drive, Dropbox or URLs. Micro- and small RNA profiling can now be carried out using high-confidence Metazoan and plant specific databases, MirGeneDB and PmiREN respectively, together with genome assemblies and libraries from 441 Ensembl species. The new results page includes straightforward sample annotation to allow downstream differential expression analysis with sRNAde. Unassigned reads can also be explored by means of a new tool that performsmapping to microbial references, which can reveal contamination events or biologically meaningful findings as we describe in the example. sRNAtoolbox is available at: https://arn.ugr.es/srnatoolbox/.European Commission 765492Spanish GovernmentEuropean Commission AGL2017-88702-C2-2-RChair 'Doctors Galera-Requena in cancer stem cell research'Stichting Cancer Center Amsterdam CCA2021-9-77Tromsoforskningsstiftelse (TFS) ['MIRevolution'] 20 SG BFTKI-Health Holland ['AQrate' project

sRNAbench and sRNAtoolbox 2019: intuitive fast small RNA profiling and differential expression

Since the original publication of sRNAtoolbox in 2015, small RNA research experienced notable advances in different directions. New protocols for small RNA sequencing have become available to address important issues such as adapter ligation bias, PCR amplification artefacts or to include internal controls such as spike-in sequences. New microRNA reference databases were developed with different foci, either prioritizing accuracy (low number of false positives) or completeness (low number of false negatives). Additionally, other small RNA molecules as well asmicroRNA sequence and length variants (isomiRs) have continued to gain importance. Finally, the number of microRNA sequencing studies deposited in GEO nearly triplicated from 2014 (280) to 2018 (764). These developments imply that fast and easy-to-use tools for expression profiling and subsequent downstream analysis of miRNAseq data are essential to many researchers. Key features in this sRNAtoolbox release include addition of all major RNA library preparation protocols to sRNAbench and improvements in sRNAde, a tool that summarizes several aspects of small RNA sequencing studies including the detection of consensus differential expression. A special emphasis was put on the user-friendliness of the tools, for instance sRNAbench now supports parallel launching of several jobs to improve reproducibility and user time efficiency.European Union [765492 to M.H.]; Spanish Government [AGL2017-88702-C2-2-R to M.H., J.L.O.]; Instituto de Salud Carlos III, FEDER funds [PIE16/00045 to J.A.M.]; Chair ‘Doctors Galera-Requena in cancer stem cell research’ to JMA and by the Ministry of Education of Spain [FPU13/05662 to R.L., IFI16/00041 to E.A.]; Strategic Research Area (SFO) program of the Swedish Research Council (to V.R.) through Stockholm University (to B.F.).
