Objectively measuring research output is important for grant awards, promotion, and tenure, or self-evaluation of productivity. However, certain shortcomings limit common bibliometric indicators. The time- and field-independent relative citation ratio (RCR) was proposed to overcome these limitations.

Elbow arthroscopy has gained utility for treating problems such as septic arthritis, osteoarthritis, synovitis, osteophyte and loose body excision, contracture release, osteochondral defects, select fractures, instability, and lateral epicondylitis. Accordingly, precise knowledge of the neurovascular anatomy, safe arthroscopic portal placement, indications, and potential complications are required to maximize patient outcomes and assist in educating patients.

- The study investigates how increased body fat might relate to more severe forms of breast cancer, focusing on the roles of specific proteins called adipokines, particularly leptin and adiponectin, and their receptors.
- Researchers analyzed breast tumor samples from 720 women, predominantly Black, using immunohistochemistry to measure the expression of these proteins and linked this data to the aggressiveness of the tumors based on various clinical factors.
- Results indicate that lower levels of leptin receptor expression in tumors were associated with more aggressive cancer types, especially in ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancers, suggesting a potential mechanism for the variations seen in tumor characteristics among individuals.
