What Are the Most Popular Articles in Urogynecology and Who Is Disseminating Them.
Urogynecology (Phila)
October 2024
Importance: This research describes which articles published in Urogynecology are garnering the most attention online. Understanding which articles are having the largest impact in the online community has become increasingly important due to the exponential increase in the use of social media on the internet.
Objective: The Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) is a quantitative and qualitative measure of the articles' online attention in social media and news outlets, blogs, and reference managers.
We previously demonstrated blood-brain barrier impairment in remote contralateral brain areas in rats at 7 and 30 days after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO), indicating ischemic diaschisis. Here, we focused on effects of subacute and chronic focal cerebral ischemia on the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB). We observed BSCB damage on both sides of the cervical spinal cord in rats at 7 and 30 days post-tMCAO.

- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) face challenges like modest SNP effect sizes, unobserved causal SNPs, and SNP interactions, which can limit their effectiveness in mapping complex traits.* -
- A new method called Bayesian latent variable selection (BLVS) is proposed to better model the relationship between multiple SNP sets and complex traits simultaneously, improving the ability to detect important causal SNPs.* -
- BLVS uses a specific statistical approach (spike-and-slab prior) to streamline SNP set analysis, making it faster and more efficient, with simulations showing it outperforms other methods in certain contexts.*
Stroke is a life-threatening disease leading to long-term disability in stroke survivors. Cerebral functional insufficiency in chronic stroke might be due to pathological changes in brain areas remote from the initial ischemic lesion, i.e.
