Summary
Single-Event Multi-Level Surgery (SEMLS) offers a streamlined approach to correcting lower limb deformities in children with cerebral palsy. This bibliometric analysis reveals key institutions and research trends in SEMLS, highlighting its impact on improving patient mobility.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Pediatric Surgery
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Single-Event Multi-Level Surgery (SEMLS) addresses soft tissue contractures and bony deformities in the lower limbs of children with cerebral palsy.
- SEMLS aims to improve gait and function through a single surgical session, hospital admission, and rehabilitation period.
- Three-dimensional gait analysis is crucial for planning SEMLS interventions to correct deformities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of Single-Event Multi-Level Surgery (SEMLS) in cerebral palsy.
- To identify trends, influential publications, and key research institutions in the field of SEMLS.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of studies on SEMLS in cerebral palsy.
- Data sourced from the Clarivate Web of Science Core Collection database (1900–May 2023).
- Inclusion criteria applied to identify relevant studies.
Main Results:
- Eighty-four studies met the inclusion criteria for the analysis.
- The most cited article was by Rodda et al. (2006) on crouch gait correction.
- Leading institutions included Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, Murdoch Children's Research Institute, and University of Melbourne.
Conclusions:
- The existing literature on SEMLS primarily comprises retrospective cohort studies.
- Institutions in Melbourne, Australia, are significant contributors to SEMLS research.
- Collaborative efforts among these institutions drive advancements in SEMLS for cerebral palsy treatment.

01:14Brain Imaging
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

01:20Parallel Processing
The brain processes sensory information rapidly due to parallel processing, which involves sending data across multiple neural pathways at the same time. This method allows the brain to manage various sensory qualities, such as shapes, colors, movements, and locations, all concurrently. For instance, when observing a forest landscape, the brain simultaneously processes the movement of leaves, the shapes of trees, the depth between them, and the various shades of green. This enables a quick and...
