AI Article Synopsis

  • Oxycodone research has seen significant publication growth from 1998 to 2017, with 2,659 articles identified across various journals and institutions, primarily from the U.S.
  • The majority of published works are clinical studies, with PAIN MEDICINE being the leading journal and Drewes AM from Denmark being the most prolific author.
  • The study highlights the need for more high-quality research in both basic and clinical trials due to oxycodone's adverse effects, addressing a shift in research focus towards randomized controlled trials and neuropathic pain.

Article Abstract

Background: Oxycodone is a widely used opioid analgesic, which is involved in cancer pain and non-cancer pain. This study is intended to understand the publication characteristics of oxycodone research field and assess the quality of pertinent articles from 1998 to 2017.

Methods: Oxycodone-related publications from 1998 to 2017 were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) and PubMed database. These papers were coded across several categories, such as total number, journals, countries, institutions, authors and citations reports. And the analysis of co-occurrence keywords was handled by VOSviewer software.

Results: According to search strategies, a total of 2659 articles on oxycodone were published in world from 1998 to 2017 in WOS. Among the top 10 most productive organizations, six of them were American institutes, two of them were pharmaceutical enterprises and the other three were Finnish, Australian and Canadian institutes, which is similar with the distribution by country/region. Drewes AM from Denmark published most articles and PAIN MEDICINE is the most productive journal in oxycodone area. Meanwhile, clinical studies occupy a dominant position during the past 20 years. The 10 most cited papers were listed. Among these articles, 8 of them are reviews and 2 of those are meta-analysis. And the last decade (2008-2017) displayed that the newest keywords focus on "double-blind", "randomized controlled trial" and "neuropathic pain".

Conclusions: The findings provided a comprehensive overview of oxycodone research. In view of the adverse effects of oxycodone, high-quality oxycodone studies both in basic studies and clinical trials need to be completed.

Background: Hydroxychloroquine is recommended for all patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) because of its efficacy and safety. Previous studies of antimalarial toxicity under non-experimental conditions have often grouped hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine. This study focuses on the long-term toxicity of antimalarial drugs in SLE patients at a single reference centre.

Human noroviruses (HNoVs) are a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, with significant public health implications. In this study, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) was used to monitor the circulation and genetic diversity of HNoVs in Rome over an eight-year period (2017-2024). A total of 337 wastewater samples were analyzed using RT-nested PCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify genogroups GI and GII and their respective genotypes.

Over the past decades, new treatments and guidelines have been introduced for the screening and management of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, the impact of these medical and scientific advances on the characteristics and burden of coronary lesions over time in FH remains poorly documented. The primary goal of this study is to determine the characteristics of coronary lesions in HeFH patients who underwent coronary angiography within two distinct timeframes: the last five years versus those who had the procedure at the same hospital 25 years earlier.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Demographic, behavioral, socioeconomic, health care, and psychosocial variables considered risk factors for CVD are routinely measured in population health surveys, providing opportunities to examine health transitions. Studying the drivers of health transitions in countries where multiple burdens of disease persist (eg, South Africa), compared with countries regarded as models of "epidemiologic transition" (eg, England), can provide knowledge on where best to intervene and direct resources to reduce the disease burden.
