Background: Research on social isolation has been ongoing, recognizing it as a significant social problem due to the disruption or absence of meaningful relationships providing essential resources for life maintenance. This study aims to analyze the social isolation research trend using quantitative bibliographic methods.
Method: This study collected literature containing 'social isolation' in the title using the Web of Science database and analyzed the number of publications anually and research fields. VOS viewer generated a visualization map based on document relationships, along with academic journals, countries/regions, institutes, and keyword analyses. Additionally, CiteSpace analyzed research keyword trends on social isolation.
Result: From 1980 to March 4, 2024, 2,874 documents were surveyed, with a rapid increase in publications from the 2010s. Neuroscience dominates, with PLOS One leading in publications. The United States leads in research activity, but influential studies from British institutes have a higher total link strength. Keyword analysis highlights 'Loneliness', 'Health', 'Depression', and 'Mortality'. The top three keyword clusters were classified through the analysis of keywords by time, and each was described as 'harmfulness of social isolation and loneliness', 'social isolation and mental health' and 'deepening of social isolation and influencing factors'.
Conclusion: This study identifies research trends in social isolation, providing a basis for future research revival and development.

The genetic demographic history of the last hunter-gatherer population of the Himalayas.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Medicine and Life Sciences, Institut de Biologia Evolutiva (CSIC-UPF), Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain.
Nepal, largely covered by the Himalayan mountains, hosts indigenous populations with distinct linguistic, cultural, and genetic characteristics. Among these populations, the Raute, Nepal's last nomadic hunter-gatherers, offer a unique insight into the genetic and demographic history of Himalayan foragers. Despite strong cultural connections to other regional foragers, the genetic history of this population remains understudied.

Household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in five US jurisdictions: Comparison of Delta and Omicron variants.
PLoS One
January 2025
COVID-19 Response Team, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America.
Households are a significant source of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, even during periods of low community-level spread. Comparing household transmission rates by SARS-CoV-2 variant may provide relevant information about current risks and prevention strategies. This investigation aimed to estimate differences in household transmission risk comparing the SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants using data from contact tracing and interviews conducted from November 2021 through February 2022 in five U.

International Lymphoedema Framework, London, United Kingdom.
Background: The World Health Organization launched the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis in 2000, which aimed at eradicating the disease by 2030. This goal depends on community mass drug administration and essential care. Despite these efforts, many rural communities still face untreated lymphatic filariasis and lack access to treatment and self-management.
