Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Treat Neuropathic Pain: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory system and is one of the most incapacitating pain types, representing a significant non-met medical need. Due to the increase in research in the field and since innovative therapeutic strategies are required, namely in intractable neuropathic pain, neurostimulation has been used. Within this approach, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that uses a transient magnetic field to produce electrical currents over the cortex emerges as a popular method in the literature.

Perceptions of medical students towards the role of histology and embryology during curricular review.

Background: The continuous changes in the medical education to prepare medical doctors for the future requires updates in medical curriculum. However, the perspectives of the medical students are not frequently considered during the revision of the medical curriculum. In parallel with the process of defining and adjusting the medical curriculum, a large survey was performed to inquire the perspectives of the medical students at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto (FMUP), Portugal, about the role of Histology and of Embryology.

Characterization of Innovation to Fight Child Mortality: A Systematic Scoping Review.

This study aims to summarize how child mortality-a Sustainable Development Goal stated by the United Nations-has been explicitly addressed in the context of innovations. A scoping review following the PRISMA-ScR Statement was performed analysing indexed and non-indexed literature. Empirical and non-disruptive innovation in the context of process targeting under-five mortality rate was the main subset of literature included in this article.
