Published: November 2017

Objectives: To identify the most discussed dental articles on the Web and to assess the association between the intensity of online attention, publication characteristics, and citations.

Materials And Methods: An Altmetric Explorer search was conducted for articles published in the 91 dental journals included in 2015 InCites Journal Citation Report and mentioned online at all times. The 100 articles with the highest online attention, as measured by the "Altmetric Attention Score" (AAS), were screened for journal title, quartile of impact factor distribution (Q1-Q4), publication date, origin and affiliation of first author, article topic, type, and access. Citation counts were harvested from Scopus.

Results: The top 100 articles presented a median AAS of 119 and were mostly discussed on news outlets, Twitter, and Mendeley. Forty-one articles were published in Q1 journals, 24 in Q2 journals, 32 in Q3 journals, and three in Q4 journals. AAS was significantly higher in articles of Q2 journals (median AAS = 398, range = 70-513) than in articles of Q1. A weak reverse correlation existed between AAS and time since publication (r = -.25, p < .05). No correlation was detected between AAS and other publication characteristics or number of citations.

Conclusions: Increased social impact of dental articles is not significantly associated with high citation rates.

'Every woman deserves that': A qualitative exploration of the impact of Australia's national maternity strategy.

Women Birth

January 2025

School of Nursing and Midwifery & Centre for Quality and Safety Research, Institute for Health Transformation, Faculty of Health, Deakin University, Victoria, Australia; Western Health, St Albans, Victoria, Australia.

Background: Since 2019, maternity care in Australia has been guided by the national maternity policy, Woman-centred care: Strategic directions for Australian maternity services (the Strategy). The Strategy has four core values (safety, respect, choice and access), which underpin 12 principles of woman-centred care.

Aim: To describe women's experiences of receiving maternity care in Australia and explore how their care aligned with the values and principles of the Strategy.

Wearable devices designed for the somatosensory system aim to provide event-cue feedback electronics and therapeutic stimulation to the peripheral nervous system. This prompts a neurological response that is relayed back to the central nervous system. Unlike virtual reality tools, these devices precisely target peripheral mechanoreceptors by administering specific stimuli.

The exploration of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in living cells is of great significance for achieving tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, visualization of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway induced by specific proteins has rarely been reported. In this paper, we designed and synthesized a fluorescent probe Cy-JQ1 based on the bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) inhibition.

Electronic address:

RNA imaging technology is essential for understanding the complex RNA regulatory mechanisms and serves as a powerful tool for disease diagnosis. However, conventional RNA imaging methods often require multiple fluorescent tags for the specific labeling of individual targets, complicating both the imaging process and subsequent analysis. Herein, we develop an RNA sensor that integrates a blocked CRISPR RNA (crRNA)-based conformational switch with a controllable CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) system and apply for RNA imaging.

Centre for Advanced Optoelectronic Functional Materials Research and Key Laboratory of UV Light-Emitting Materials and Technology of Ministry of Education, Northeast Normal University, 130024, Changchun, China. Electronic address:

The development of integrated multiple signal outputs within a single platform is highly significant for efficient and accurate on-site biomarker detection. Herein, colorimetric/electrochemical dual-mode microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) were designed for portable, visual and accurate dopamine (DA) detection. The dual-mode μPADs, featuring folded structure, integrate a colorimetric layer and an electrochemical layer using wax printing and laser-induced graphene (LIG) pyrolysis techniques, allowing the vertical flow of analyte solution.
