A comparison of the academic impact of plastic surgery units in the United Kingdom and Ireland using bibliometric analysis

Academic output is just one aspect of a successful career as a plastic surgeon. However, for those with a strong interest in academia, the academic output of a department will likely be a key factor when deciding how to rank jobs. The aim of this study was to quantify and rank the academic output of plastic surgery units across the UK and Ireland. The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science Bibliometric analysis tool was used to collate cumulative (1950–2016), 10 year (2006–2016) and 3 years (2013–2015) research output data for plastic surgery units in the UK and Ireland. Sixty-six plastic surgery units were identified. Departments were ranked for each time period according to the number of papers produced, number of citations (Nc) and h-index (a measure of the impact of scientific output). The top 3 departments for number of papers in the last 10 years were The Royal Free Hospital, London (226) Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford (218), and Morriston Hospital and Swansea (188). The top 3 for h-number were The Royal Free Hospital (21) Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester (18) and Morriston Hospital (17). Academic output varies across plastic surgery units in the UK and Ireland. A number of departments have consistently maintained high academic outputs across the years and will be of interest to surgeons hoping to pursue a career in academia.     

Cuboid nutcracker fracture in children: Management and results

Introduction

Compression fractures of the cuboid bone in children and adolescents are rare. Fracture morphology, associated lesions, treatment options and long-term outcomes of this very rare injury are published in a few case reports. This study with review of the literature aims to support the understanding of fracture pattern and optimize pathways of decision making.

观察不同温度下停循环选择性脑灌注在急性I期Stanford A型主动脉夹层中的应用效果

目的观察不同温度下停循环选择性脑灌注在急性I型Stanford A型主动脉夹层中的应用效果。方法以2010年10月至2019年1月在该院就诊的51例进行急性I型Stanford A型主动脉夹层手术的患者为研究对象,根据手术温度差异将患者分为A组(18~22℃,20例)和B组(23~28℃,31例),观察两组患者手术过程中和术后情况。结果B组患者的体外循环时间、主动脉阻断时间、深低温停循环时间、术中出血量及总住院时间均比A组降低(P<0.05),术后永久性神经损伤的发生情况减少(P<0.05)。结论急性I型Stanford A型主动脉夹层术中停循环选择性脑灌注时的不同温度,中低温(23~28℃)显示出更少体外循环机工作时间和术后永久性神经损伤的发生情况,提高手术安全性。
