  • Gut Health in Veterinary Medicine: a Bibliometric Analysis of the Literature
    animals Article Gut Health in Veterinary Medicine: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Literature Elena Colombino 1,*,† , Daniel Prieto-Botella 2,† and Maria Teresa Capucchio 1 1 Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, 10095 Grugliasco, Italy; [email protected] 2 Department of Surgery and Pathology, Miguel Hernandez University, 03550 Alicante, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Equally contribution. Simple Summary: Gut health has been a main topic in veterinary medicine research after the ban on the use of antimicrobial growth promoters. Gut health has been defined as absence/prevention/avoidance of gastrointestinal disease so that the animal is able to perform its physiological functions. A biblio- metric analysis is a set of statistical methods used to explore trends in the scientific literature such as number of publications, most prolific countries and main research areas to highlight publication dynamics and gaps of knowledge. In this case, a bibliometric analysis was performed on veterinary gut health using the database Web of Science and the R package Bibliometrix. A total of 1696 docu- ments were retrieved between 2000 and 2020, showing an increase of 22.4% in the number of annual publications. Pigs (34.8%), poultry (chicken, duck, turkey and quail—33.9%) and aquaculture (fishes, crustaceans and frog—15.0%) were the most studied species while a scarce number of publications was found on felines, cows, horses, rodents, goats and sheep. China (24.7%), USA (17.2%) and Canada (5.7%) were the most productive countries. Three main research lines aimed to explore animal nutrition, prevention of inflammatory diseases and microbiota composition were identified.

  • 775 Sixth International Conference on Webometrics, Informetrics And
    Sixth International Conference on Webometrics, Informetrics and Scientometrics & Eleventh COLLNET Meeting, October 19 – 22, 2010, University of Mysore, ALGORITHMIC GENERATION OF SPECIALTY PROFILES FOR MEDICAL JOURNALS Pudovkin A.I Institute of Marine Biology, Vladivostok 690041, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] E. Garfield ThomsonReuters Scientific, 1500 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, PA 19130-4067, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A procedure for generating a topical profile of a medical journal is proposed. The procedure consists in calculating of the relatedness index Rgeom of a target journal with all 50 JCR medical categories and identification of top-related ones. The set of highly related categories (3 or 5) may be regarded as the specialty profile of the target journal. We illustrate the method by considering the content of 7 medical journals, 6 specialized ones and a leading multi-scope journal: Annals of Surgery, Circulation, Clinical Infectious diseases, European Heart Journal, Gut, Shock, and New England Journal of Medicine. The data for our analyses are taken from the 2006 and 2009 JCR Science Edition ―Related Journals‖ listings for each medical category. It is shown that the resulting specialty profiles are quite stable in time and well correspond to JCR‘s assignment of journals to subject categories. JCR‘s category assignment is a heuristic procedure performed by an expert, while our procedure is comletely algorithmic. KeyWords: journal topical specification; medical journals; JCR; Journal Relatedness Indexes Introduction The problem of classification, that is, specialty characterization of journals is an old and difficult one (Katz and Hicks, 1995; Boyack et al., 2005; Klavans and Boyack, 2006; Leydesdorff, 2006; Zhang et al., 2010a, b).

Received: 13 October 2020; Accepted: 30 October 2020; Published: 1 November 2020 Abstract: Gut microbiota represent an interesting worldwide research area. Several studies confirm that microbiota has a key role in human diseases, both intestinal (such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, intestinal infectious diseases, irritable bowel syndrome) and extra intestinal disorders (such as autism, multiple sclerosis, rheumatologic diseases). Nowadays, it is possible to manipulate microbiota by administering prebiotics, probiotics or synbiotics, through fecal microbiota transplantation in selected cases. In this scenario, pancreatic disorders might be influenced by gut microbiota and this relationship could be an innovative and inspiring field of research. However, data are still scarce and controversial. Microbiota manipulation could represent an important therapeutic strategy in the pancreatic diseases, in addition to standard therapies. In this review, we analyze current knowledge about correlation between gut microbiota and pancreatic diseases, by discussing on the one hand existing data and on the other hand future possible perspectives. Keywords: pancreatic diseases; microbiota; microbiome; gut microbiota; acute pancreatitis; chronic pancreatitis; diabetes mellitus; pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; pancreatic cystic neoplasms 1.
