Purpose: This study aimed to identify research publications that have significantly influenced clinical practice in pharmacy using a novel metric known as the disruption score.
Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis and PubMed search of pharmacy practice articles published in 11 key pharmacy journals and articles tagged with the MeSH term "pharmacy" or "pharmacist." Utilizing a validated dataset of disruption scores encompassing articles published between 1954 and 2014, we identified the top 100 most disruptive papers alongside the top 100 most cited papers. Additionally, we explored comparisons between these lists and across various journals to gain comprehensive insights into the field's evolution over time.
Results: A total of 59,535 articles met the inclusion criteria, of which 56,764 (95%) were published in the 11 core pharmacy practice journals we chose while 2,771 (5%) were published in other PubMed-indexed journals. Notably, the top 100 most disruptive papers were deemed more disruptive than 99.9% of the entire PubMed universe. The most cited paper was the 22nd most disruptive paper. The mean citation count among the top 100 most disruptive papers was 196. The 1990s was the most disruptive decade, and American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy was the most disruptive journal. We observed a weak correlation between disruption score and citation count.
Conclusion: The disruption score identified an innovative body of landmark papers whose legacy will remain solidified in pharmacy practice. The disruption score offers a unique perspective on clinical significance, complementing other bibliometric indices and adding to the identification of papers that have introduced new paradigms in pharmacy.

Manifestations of the archaic in character within the analytic field: From memories in behaviour to chronic and acute enactments.
Int J Psychoanal

Brazilian Psychoanalytic Society of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil.
The objective of this paper is to discuss the ways in which primitive aspects of the mind, in particular, the archaic elements of character, become manifest within the analytic field. After a review of the concept, it is proposed that a "normal" character manifests through memories in behaviours/feelings, which seek the object to satisfy their needs. The characterological structure keeps primitive traumatic inscriptions under control.

Tumor microenvironment governs various therapeutic tolerability of cancer such as ferroptosis and immunotherapy through rewiring tumor metabolic reprogramming like Warburg metabolism. Highly expressed carbonic anhydrases (CA) in tumor that maintaining the delicate metabolic homeostasis is thus the most potential target to be modulated to resolve the therapeutic tolerability. Hence, in this article, a self-healable and pH-responsive spermidine/ferrous ion hydrogel loaded with CA inhibitor (acetazolamide, ACZ) and glucose oxidase (ACZ/GOx@SPM-HA Gel) was fabricated through the Schiff-base reaction between spermidine-dextran and oxidized hyaluronic acid, along with ferrous coordination.

Climate extremes are threatening transportation infrastructures and hence require new methods to address their vulnerability and improve their resilience. However, existing studies have yet to examine the climate impacts on transportation networks systematically rather than independently assessing the infrastructures at a component level. Therefore, it is crucial to configure alternative shipping routes from a systematic perspective to reduce climate vulnerabilities and optimise the resilience of the whole shipping network.

Background: Bisphenol F (BPF), a substitute for bisphenol A (BPA), is widely used in consumer products, increasing the potential for environmental exposure. Our study investigated the reproductive effects of BPF on adult male zebrafish and explored its toxicological mechanisms, as well as its intergenerational effects.
Methods: Adult male zebrafish were exposed to BPF concentrations of 0, 50, 500, 2500, and 5000 nM for 21 days.
Impact of hydrodynamic cavitation-assisted microbubble with N, CO, and air on pasting, morphological, and thermal properties of starches from different botanical origins.

Microbubble-assisted starch modification (MASM) using different gases (N, CO and air) was employed to assess the effects of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) on various botanical starches, including potato, wheat, corn and rice. SEM showed that N- and CO- microbubbles created more pronounced holes and cracks on the starch surfaces than air-microbubbles. The hydrodynamic cavitation-assisted microbubble (HCAM) treatment significantly reduced the amorphous and crystalline structures in potato and wheat starches, with less impact observed in corn and rice.
