Summary
This study analyzed research on osteoarthritis and depression, finding key hotspots like disability and prevalence. Future research may focus on treating depression in patients with multiple conditions.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Psychiatry
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is frequently associated with depression, a growing global concern.
- Understanding this link is crucial for patient well-being and effective management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on osteoarthritis and depression.
- To identify leading contributors, research hotspots, and future directions in this field.
Main Methods:
- Utilized Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) data from 1994-2024.
- Employed VOSviewer, R software, and CiteSpace for bibliometric analysis and visualization.
- Analyzed 2,342 publications on osteoarthritis and depression.
Main Results:
- The United States led publications; Boston University was the most prolific institution.
- Stefania Maggi was the most productive author; BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders published the most articles.
- Key research areas included the OA-depression relationship, disability, prevalence, and characteristics of older OA patients with depression.
Conclusions:
- The analysis highlights significant research activity and identifies emerging trends.
- Future research should explore multimorbidity, psychometric properties, surgical interventions, and other mental health conditions in OA patients.
- This work provides a foundation for future research and clinical strategies.

01:05Long-term Depression
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

01:11Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.

01:18Depression: Overview
Depression is a prevalent mental illness marked by persistent sadness and lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can take several forms, including major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and bipolar I and II disorders. Symptoms range from emotional changes like chronic worry to physical changes like sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. From a neurobiological perspective, depression is believed to be triggered by abnormalities in the brain's prefrontal cortex,...
01:27Depressive Disorders: MDD and Dysthymia
Depressive disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by pervasive feelings of sadness, diminished pleasure in life, and a significant impact on daily functioning. These conditions are most prevalent in individuals during their 30s and affect women at twice the rate of men. Contrary to popular belief, younger individuals are generally more susceptible to these disorders than older adults. Two key types of depressive disorders include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and...
01:27Depressive Disorders: Etiology
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.
