Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

3.0K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Services Research
  • Surgical Research

Background:

  • Web scraping is crucial for researchers needing large-scale data collection.
  • Limited technical guidance exists for surgeon-scientists on web scraping.
  • Public web data is relevant for surgical outcomes, health services, and policy research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a clinician-oriented technical guide to web scraping for surgical research.
  • To demonstrate a complete web scraping pipeline with a practical example.
  • To equip surgical researchers with foundational knowledge for data collection.

Main Methods:

  • Tutorial covers key web scraping concepts: static vs. dynamic websites, CSS selectors, browser automation, rate limiting, and ethics.
  • A worked example scrapes a surgical research group's publication page.
  • A reusable code template is provided for adapting the pipeline.

Main Results:

  • Successfully extracted structured publication data (titles, authors, abstracts, links) from a JavaScript-rendered website.
  • Generated an analysis-ready bibliometric database.
  • Demonstrated generalization to other surgical research applications (price transparency, residency data, quality metrics).

Conclusions:

  • Web scraping is a powerful tool for surgeon-scientists when used with technical rigor and ethical responsibility.
  • The tutorial equips researchers with the knowledge to design, implement, and adapt web scrapers.
  • This approach facilitates efficient data collection for diverse surgical research questions.
