Scientific data visualization is a critical aspect of fully understanding data patterns and trends. To date, the majority of data visualizations in nursing research - as with other biomedical fields - have been static. The availability of electronic scientific journal articles (which are quickly becoming the norm) has created new opportunities for and data visualization which carry added cognitive benefits and support the ability to understand data more fully. Therefore, here we highlight the benefits of R, an open-source programming language, for scientific data visualization, with a specific focus on creating dynamic, interactive figures using the R shiny package. For R users, we have included a tutorial with example code to create three increasingly complex shiny applications. For individuals more interested in understanding the potential of R shiny as an innovative tool to interact with research data, we have included links to online versions of the examples that do not require any programming or R experience. We believe that widespread adoption of dynamic and interactive scientific data visualization will further support nurse scientists' higher-level mission of advancing our understanding of health and wellness of individuals and communities.

Study based on bibliometric analysis: potential research trends in fluid management for sepsis.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Critical Care Medicine, Qilu Hospital, Shandong University, Qingdao, China.
Objective: To investigate the potential and evolving trends in fluid management for patients with sepsis, utilizing a bibliometric approach.
Methods: Scholarly articles pertaining to fluid therapy for sepsis patients were extracted from the Web of Science (WoS) database as of June 1, 2024. The R software package, "Bibliometrix," was utilized to scrutinize the primary bibliometric attributes and to construct a three-field plot to illustrate the relationships among institutions, nations, and keywords.

The change in the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a protein can affect its own function or interaction with other protein(s), which may lead to disease(s). Gene mutations, especially missense mutations, are the main cause of changes in protein structure. Due to the lack of protein crystal structure data, about three-quarters of human mutant proteins cannot be predicted or accurately predicted, and the pathogenicity of missense mutations can only be indirectly evaluated by evolutionary conservation.

Introduction: Cervical foraminotomy is a procedure used to treat patients with radiculopathy. While the procedure can be performed using a minimally invasive technique, achieving complete visualization of relevant anatomy can be challenging. This study explores the use of patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) printed anatomical models, created from advanced medical imaging data, for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance in cervical foraminotomy by comparing fluoroscopy time, operative time, estimated blood loss volume, and functional improvement.

Tissue specimens taken from primary tumors or metastases contain important information for diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. Multiplex imaging allows visualization of heterogeneous cell populations, such as immune cells, in tissue samples. Most image processing pipelines first segment cell boundaries and then measure marker expression to assign cell phenotypes.

This retrospective multicenter study investigated the biodistribution of Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) in the positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in digital PET/CT (dPET) compared to analog PET/CT (aPET), focusing differences in physiological uptake in reference and small structures across various scanner models. One hundred thirty patients with similar preimaging conditions underwent both dPET and aPET imaging within 6 months. Visual evaluations and paired comparative analyses of semiquantitative parameters were performed for small and reference structures.
