Summary
This bibliometric analysis of top pelvic organ prolapse (POP) articles highlights epidemiology and tissue engineering as key research areas. Future studies should focus on these to improve understanding and treatment of POP.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Gynecology
- Obstetrics
Background:
- Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a significant health concern affecting many women.
- Understanding the research landscape is crucial for advancing diagnosis and treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify key research themes and emerging topics in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) research.
- To analyze the 100 most-cited articles in the field using bibliometric methods.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 100 most-cited POP articles from the Web of Science Core Collection.
- Data analyzed using Bibliometrix, CiteSpace, and online metrology platforms.
- Searched using keywords 'pelvic organ prolapse' up to June 27, 2024.
Main Results:
- The top 100 articles received 26,894 citations and were published between 1993-2019.
- The United States led publications, with the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology being highly influential.
- Epidemiological research and tissue engineering for treatment were identified as major trends.
Conclusions:
- Key research areas in POP include epidemiology and surgical interventions, particularly tissue engineering.
- Future research should prioritize epidemiological studies and advanced treatments for better outcomes.
- Enhanced understanding of risk factors and population characteristics is needed for effective prevention and treatment.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
1.7K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

01:26Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum
6.9K
The muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, controlling continence, and aiding in sexual function, childbirth, and core stability. They are typically divided into the superficial perineal layer and the deep pelvic floor layer.
Perineal Layer
The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...

5.8K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

01:18Veins of the Abdomen and Pelvis
2.2K
The human body is a complex system of interconnected parts, and the circulatory system plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. One key component of this system is the inferior vena cava, a large vein responsible for returning blood from the abdominopelvic viscera and abdominal walls to the heart.
The inferior vena cava is fed by numerous smaller veins. The lumbar veins, for instance, drain the posterior abdominal wall, emptying both directly into the inferior vena cava and into the...

The lower urinary system consists of the urinary bladder and urethra, which are essential in storing and expelling urine from the body. Together with the internal and external sphincters, these structures work together to regulate urination effectively.Anatomy of the BladderThe urinary bladder is a muscular, stretchable organ behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. In females, the bladder is positioned anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus, while in males, it is located...

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...
