Summary
Palliative care research in Morocco has significantly increased since 2011, primarily focusing on oncology. This trend aligns with the growing integration of palliative care into the national healthcare strategy.
Area of Science:
- Medical Research
- Public Health
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Palliative care (PC) integration into Moroccan healthcare strategy lacks specific evaluation.
- No comprehensive bibliometric analysis of PC research in Morocco exists.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the evolution of palliative care research in Morocco over the past two decades (2000-2020).
- To map publication trends, collaborations, and key research areas in Moroccan palliative care.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of articles indexed in Web of Science and PubMed.
- Inclusion criteria: 'Morocco' and 'palliative' in content, French/English, Moroccan affiliation, published 2000-2020.
- Analysis of publication timelines, collaborations, journals, types, and topics.
Main Results:
- A significant increase in PC-related publications observed since 2011 (87.1%).
- Oncology dominates the research landscape (82.1%).
- Limited international collaboration (9.9%) with high rates of single-institution publications (48.5%).
Conclusions:
- Palliative care research in Morocco shows a notable upward trend, particularly post-2011.
- Research output is concentrated in oncology and areas with established oncology care infrastructure.
- Further investigation into fostering international collaborations and diversifying research topics is warranted.

01:21Cancer Survival Analysis
348
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

01:25Continuing Care
1.5K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

01:13Patient-centered Care
2.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

02:50Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
4.9K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
