Abstract:
Substantial research interest has been shown over the past ten years in the management of burn injuries. This bibliometric analysis aims to identify and evaluate the most cited articles that have significantly advanced the field of burn injury management. The 100 most cited articles published from January 2014 to September 2024 were collated using the Web of Science database. The full text of each article was meticulously analyzed for descriptive parameters including subject matter, journal of publication, authorship, institutional affiliation, country of origin, and year of publication. The 100 most cited articles had an average of 203 citations, with the most cited article reaching 754 citations and the least cited article cited 105 times. The subjects ranged from enhancing wound care outcomes to metabolic support, fluid management, and infection prevention and management. These articles were distributed across 59 source journals, with 44% of articles having been published in just ten prominent journals. While bibliometric analyses do not accurately gauge scientific merit, this study illuminates the significant contributions to burn management over the past decade and provides valuable insights into research trends in the field.

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...
