The knee is a complex joint. It's not just about the big bones and muscles. There's a smaller player called the anterolateral ligament (ALL). This ligament is getting more attention from researchers. They want to know how it helps the knee stay stable. Especially when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is injured. The ACL is a big deal. It's crucial for keeping the...
Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a hot topic in lung cancer (LC) research. This method uses genetic variations to figure out if certain factors cause disease. Yet, there hasn"t been a thorough look at how this field has grown worldwide. This is where a recent study steps in. It dives into global research trends, key players, and new themes in MR related to...
The bond between religion and corruption is a topic that hasn't been thoroughly examined. The number of studies on this subject has grown recently. This growth shows a shift in focus. Researchers are now looking at religious factors as key players in the fight against corruption. This is a big change from the past, when the emphasis was mostly on economic, social...
Radiomics, a cutting-edge way to analyze medical images, has taken the medical world by storm since its introduction in 2012.
