Summary
This bibliometric analysis identifies the 50 most cited articles in invasive neuromodulation, highlighting key topics like vagus nerve stimulation. These influential papers offer crucial insights for clinical education and research in neuromodulation.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Bibliometric analysis is a standard method for identifying influential research within scientific fields.
- Invasive neuromodulation, excluding deep brain stimulation, is a rapidly evolving area with significant clinical impact.
- A comprehensive overview of the most recognized literature is essential for clinical education and future research direction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and analyze the 50 most cited articles in invasive neuromodulation (excluding deep brain stimulation) published between 1900 and 2016.
- To provide a foundational overview of landmark publications to aid in clinical education.
- To assess the correlation between journal impact factor and the recognition of invasive neuromodulation research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Science Citation Index via Web of Science.
- Search terms related to invasive neuromodulation were employed to retrieve the top 50 most cited articles.
- The publication period was restricted to 1900–2016.
Main Results:
- The 50 most cited articles received a median of 236 citations (range: 173–578).
- Dominant research areas included vagus nerve stimulation (24 articles), spinal cord stimulation (9 articles), and motor cortex stimulation (6 articles).
- The majority of these highly cited articles (19) presented Level I, II, or III evidence, with a median journal impact factor of 5.57.
Conclusions:
- The most cited articles in invasive neuromodulation represent pivotal advancements driving the field forward.
- These seminal works offer enduring clinical and educational value for practitioners and students.
- Journal impact factor appears to be a significant factor influencing the visibility and perceived relevance of invasive neuromodulation studies.

01:23Mechanical Ventilation II: Invasive Ventilation
788
Ventilators are essential medical equipment used to aid patients with respiratory difficulties. Their primary function is to assist or replace spontaneous breathing by providing mechanical ventilation. There are two general classes of mechanical ventilators: negative-pressure and positive-pressure ventilators.
Negative-Pressure Ventilators
Negative-pressure ventilators create a vacuum around the chest or body to draw air into the lungs, simulating breathing. This method does not require an...

27.2K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

02:31Homologous Recombination
63.5K
The basic reaction of homologous recombination (HR) involves two chromatids that contain DNA sequences sharing a significant stretch of identity. One of these sequences uses a strand from another as a template to synthesize DNA in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The final product is a novel amalgamation of the two substrates. To ensure an accurate recombination of sequences, HR is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. At these stages, the DNA has been replicated already and the...

Calculating pH for Titration Solutions: Strong Acid/Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:

02:22Reaction Yield
60.4K
The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of product estimated to form based on the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation. The theoretical yield assumes the complete conversion of the limiting reactant into the desired product. The amount of product that is obtained by performing the reaction is called the actual yield, and it may be less than or (very rarely) equal to the theoretical yield.
