A Bibliometric Analysis of the Top 100 Cited Qualitative Research Papers in Dentistry From Scopus (1998-2024).

This bibliometric analysis aimed to identify trends among the top 100 most cited qualitative research articles in dentistry. Articles were retrieved from the Scopus database and screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The final set of 100 articles was then analyzed in R Studio (RStudio Team, Boston, MA) to assess performance metrics, including publication and citation trends, citation-publication relationships, and science mapping.

Inequalities in urban air pollution in sub-Saharan Africa: an empirical modeling of ambient NO and NO concentrations in Accra, Ghana.

Road traffic has become the leading source of air pollution in fast-growing sub-Saharan African cities. Yet, there is a dearth of robust city-wide data for understanding space-time variations and inequalities in combustion related emissions and exposures. We combined nitrogen dioxide (NO) and nitric oxide (NO) measurement data from 134 locations in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), with geographical, meteorological, and population factors in spatio-temporal mixed effects models to predict NO and NO concentrations at fine spatial (50 m) and temporal (weekly) resolution over the entire GAMA.

Prospective cohort study of surgical site infections following single dose antibiotic prophylaxis in caesarean section at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Medchal, India.

Background: Caesarean section (CS) is considered to be a life-saving operative intervention for women and new-borns in certain antepartum and intrapartum conditions. Caesarean delivery may be accompanied by several complications including surgical site infections (SSI). However, there is a significant lack of uniformity in the administration of antibiotics for preventing surgical site infections (SSI) following caesarean deliveries.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity of Ocimum tenuiflorum- and Stevia rebaudiana-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles: An In Vitro Study.

Background: Nanotechnology, a field bridging material science and biology, explores various applications. Silver nanoparticles, ranging from 1 nm to 100 nm, are commonly labeled as "silver," although some contain a substantial quantity of silver oxide owing to the heightened ratio of silver atoms on the surface compared to the bulk. This characteristic establishes silver as a prominent nanoparticulate material.
