SUB-FIELDS AND COUNTRIES IN THE LITERATURE OF GOUT: AN ANALYSIS

This paper presents an analysis of Sub-Fields and Countries in the literature of Gout using bibliometric techniques. The literature covered in the database for the period 2008-2017 was considered. It shows that there is a growth of literature in the subject of study by year after year. 40.44% records were covered by Journal Article. 51 journals were needed to supply one-third of the cited records for zone-1. However, 223 journals were required to produce the second grouping of records in Zone-2, and 725 journals to yield the records that constitute Zone-3. Most frequently cited primary journals were General Medicine in the field of Gout with 40.51%. The United States is dominating the first position with 93 primary journals, England is in the second position contains 59 primary journals and Germany is in the third position contains 19 primary journals. The data reveals that publications on ‘General Medicine’ have resulted in a higher number of primary journals publications followed by Rheumatology, Pharmacology, Orthopedics, and Biochemistry. There were high priorities in 11 sub-fields in the USA followed by 10 in England and 8 in Germany. In other countries, the high priorities range from one discipline to five disciplines. 274 primary journals were identified in the field of Gout literature

Mechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Composites

A critical review of theoretical models aiming to explain the physical properties of composites based on polymeric matrices reinforced with carbon nanotubes is presented. Attention is paid to descriptions based on molecular dynamics, continuum mechanics, and finite element analysis. It is shown that both the continuum mechanics approximation and the finite size element analyses fail to describe composites with very thin interfaces, while the performances of molecular dynamics simulations are still restricted by computer\u27s performances. The limitations of the continuum mechanics approximation are analyzed in detail

PRIMARY JOURNALS IN THE FIELD OF PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY (2000-2019)

This paper presents the primary journals in the field of Pediatric Dentistry. The analysis is based on a bibliometric technique i.e. Bradford’s law. The records in the literature in the field of Pediatric Dentistry as indexed in the MEDLINE data covered in PubMed for the period from the year 2000 to 2019 considered for this study. It is found from the study that there are 19037 numbers of records as indexed in the above-said database in the area of Pediatric Dentistry. It was found that 57.25% of publication type is journal articles, 17.83% of publication type is Research Support, Non U.S. Gov\u27t, 7.66% of publication type is Review, and Randomized Controlled Trial of publication type is 3.53%. The literature published as other publication types are 13.73%. The result shows that only thirteen journals fell into zone-1 and published 3671 journal articles, zone-2 consist of 80 journals and published 3666 journal articles, while 93.25% of the journals cited fell in zone-3 and published 3561 journal articles. A total of 93 journals were identified as primary journals in the field of Pediatric Dentistry. The United States published 28 primary journals out of 93 primary journals in the first position; followed by England published 22 primary journals, India published 7 primary journals, Germany published 5 primary journals, and also remaining countries in the study of primary journals analysis published below 4 to 1 primary journal

Microfluidic Platforms for Evaluation of Nanobiomaterials: a Review

Microfluidic Platforms for Evaluation of Nanobiomaterials: A Review

Biomaterials, especially those based on nanomaterials, have emerged as critical tools in biomedical applications. The applications encompass a wide range such as implantable devices, tissue regeneration, drug delivery, diagnostic systems, and molecular printing. The type of materials used also covers a wide range: metals (permanent and degradable), polymers (permanent and degradable), carbon nanotubes, and lipid nanoparticles. This paper explores the use of microfluidic platforms as a high-throughput research tool for the evaluation of nanobiomaterials. Typical screening of such materials involves cell/tissue cultures to determine attributes such as cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, as well as biocompatibility. In addition to this, other areas such as drug delivery and toxicity can also be evaluated via microfluidics. Traditional approach for screening of such materials is very time-consuming, and a lot of animals should be sacrificed since it involves one material and a single composition or concentration for a single test. The microfluidics approach has the advantage of using multiple types of drugs and their concentration gradients to simultaneously study the effect on the nanobiomaterial and its interaction with cell/tissue. In addition to this, microfluidics provides a unique environment to study the effect of cell-to-extracellular interaction and cell-to-cell communication in the presence of the nanobiomaterials

The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics' resources: focus on curated databases

The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (www.isb-sib.ch) provides world-class bioinformatics databases, software tools, services and training to the international life science community in academia and industry. These solutions allow life scientists to turn the exponentially growing amount of data into knowledge. Here, we provide an overview of SIB's resources and competence areas, with a strong focus on curated databases and SIB's most popular and widely used resources. In particular, SIB's Bioinformatics resource portal ExPASy features over 150 resources, including UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, ENZYME, PROSITE, neXtProt, STRING, UniCarbKB, SugarBindDB, SwissRegulon, EPD, arrayMap, Bgee, SWISS-MODEL Repository, OMA, OrthoDB and other databases, which are briefly described in this article
