Background And Objectives: is a world leader in disseminating neurosurgical science. Although the literature has seen significant increases in academic collaboration, data science, and authorship diversity, the bibliometric evolution of remains unknown. This study sought to elucidate bibliometric trends in from 1977 to 2023.

Methods: Wolters Kluwer and Web of Science were used to identify all publications in from 1977 to 2023. Database utilization was analyzed from 2007 to 2023 using abstract keywords. The BERTopic tool analyzed prevailing subspecialty themes. Publication types including clinical/case report/review were analyzed. Statistical analysis included exponential and linear regression.

Results: From 1977 to 2023, 29 755 publications containing 127 171 authors were published in . From 1977 to 2023, the mean authorship count per publication exponentially increased (2.4 to 8.4, 2.0% annually) ( = 0.76), small authorship groups (≤ 5 authors) linearly decreased (90% to 37%) ( = 0.93), multinational authorship groups linearly increased (0% to 21.2%) ( = 0.95), and authorship affiliations per publication exponentially increased (1.3 to 4.6, 3.2% annually) ( = 0.65). From 1990 to 2023, female first authorship linearly increased (7.5% to 15.7%) ( = 0.93), Bachelor degree first authorship increased (0.6% to 12.5%), and MD/PhD senior authorship increased (6.2% to 24.7%), with more review articles and less case reports. Cerebrovascular topics dominated from 1980 to 2020, with spine topics most represented in the 2020s. Database utilization demonstrated an exponential, 4.6-fold increase from 2007 (0.38%) to 2023 (2.14%) ( = 0.63).

Conclusion: publications have demonstrated increasing authorship counts, authorship diversity, collaboration, and database utilization since the journal's 1977 inception, prominently publishing on topics in cerebrovascular and spine research.

Objectives: To identify differences in the reported vasoplegia incidence, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and 30-day mortality rates as influenced by different vasoplegia definitions used in cardiac surgery studies.

Design: A systematic review was performed covering the period 1977 to 2023 using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Emcare and a meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42021258328) was performed.

Setting And Participants: One hundred studies defining vasoplegia in cardiac surgery patients were systematically reviewed.

Uncovering early gene network changes of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) leading to differentiation induction is of utmost importance for therapeutic manipulation. We employed single cell proteo-transcriptomic sequencing to FACS-enriched bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from 15 healthy donors. Pseudotime analysis reveals four major differentiation trajectories, which remain consistent upon aging, with an early branching point into megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted health care systems and resulted in some delays of care, challenging health care engagement among people living with HIV (PLWH). Using in-depth interviews, we explored the experiences of PLWH during the pandemic and identified barriers to and facilitators of care engagement. We recruited 40 participants from a managed-care Medicaid plan in New York City and conducted phone interviews during fall 2023.
