Text-mining techniques were used to provide basic data to related policy stakeholders and academic researchers by collecting and analyzing research trends related to animal-mediated healing in a short time. A total of 776 studies were collected using the keyword "animal-assisted therapy" (AAT) in the search engine PubMed, which covers a wide range of topics related to health sciences, biomedical research, and health psychology. Four analysis methods were employed. "Dog" was the most commonly utilized animal in AAT. This study also identified individuals with autism spectrum disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder as the primary research participants. Finally, the terms "health care" and "blood pressure" were identified, indicating that AAT has a positive impact on improving blood pressure and enhancing heart rate. These findings demonstrate that AAT research is being actively pursued in various fields, such as social sciences, medicine, and psychology.

The early symptoms of hepatocellular carcinoma patients are often subtle and easily overlooked. By the time patients exhibit noticeable symptoms, the disease has typically progressed to middle or late stages, missing optimal treatment opportunities. Therefore, discovering biomarkers is essential for elucidating their functions for the early diagnosis and prevention.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have garnered significant attention in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research over the past decade, largely due to their potential in diagnostics and therapeutics. Although the investigation of EVs in AD is a relatively recent endeavor, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of this rapidly growing field has yet to be conducted.
Methods: This study aims to elucidate and synthesize the relationship between EVs and AD, offering critical insights to guide future research and expand therapeutic possibilities.
