The bioethics research conducted in Ibero-American countries has been very much restricted to its own realm. The aim of this study was to perform a bibliometric evaluation of bioethics papers by authors affiliated with Ibero-American institutions, and to determine how their work influences global bioethics literature. We performed a literature search in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC) and Scopus. We identified a total of 5,975 documents, of which 84.3% were articles, 11.6% reviews and 4.1% book chapters. The median number of citations per paper was higher in English-language journals. Only 10 articles published between 2010 and 2019 in peer-reviewed bioethics journals and produced exclusively by authors from Ibero-American institutions garnered more than 15 citations. Our study suggests that if researchers from Ibero-American institutions want to influence global bioethical thinking, they must make the required leap in quality to be able to publish in high-quality bioethics and mainstream journals.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects 5%-10% of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. Prior data suggest AS patients with IBD may have more severe disease and lower HLA-B27 prevalence. Yet, little is known about potential distinctions in AS with IBD compared to those without IBD.

Article Synopsis
- - The global importance of recovery centers and head-start programs for sea turtles focuses on their roles in rescue and conservation, while also generating crucial health data for monitoring and research on these species.
- - This study evaluated non-invasive blood biomarkers and ecotoxicological impacts in both confined green sea turtles and free-living turtles from the Mexican Caribbean, highlighting significant health differences influenced by captivity.
- - Findings revealed concerning health indicators in confined green turtles, such as abnormal blood cells and elevated toxin levels, compared to wild counterparts, emphasizing the need for improved health monitoring and conservation policies.
Distributed Opioids in Morphine Equivalent: A Global Measure of Availability for Palliative Care.

Article Synopsis
- Estimates show a significant need for palliative care in low- and middle-income countries, particularly regarding access to essential opioids for pain relief.
- The DOME (Distributed Opioids in Morphine Equivalents) methodology quantifies this need by converting procured opioid quantities into morphine equivalents, allowing for a clearer assessment of unmet pain relief requirements.
- By using DOME and its metrics, countries can evaluate their health systems' capacity for palliative care and address gaps, ultimately improving health coverage and access to necessary treatments.

Macroalgae are known as abundant sources of phytochemicals, which offer a plethora of beneficial biological properties. Besides being the most notable classes of compounds found in macroalgae, phlorotannins, bromophenols, and terpenoids comprise some of the most relevant for their biological properties. Phlorotannins, mainly prevalent in brown algae and structurally characterized as complex polyphenolic compounds derived from phloroglucinol units, possess robust antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and cytotoxic activities, modulated by factors such as the degree of polymerization and environmental conditions.
