50 Years of Renal Physiology from One Man and the Perfused Tubule: Maurice B. Burg.

In this study, we have taken a scientific visualization approach to study the scientific contributions of Dr. Burg and the isolated perfused tubule preparation as determining research impact by the number of research students, postdoctoral fellows, visiting scientists, and national and international collaborators. Additionally, we have examined the research collaborations (1st and 2nd generation scientists), established the migrational visualization of the 1st generation scientists who worked directly with Dr. Burg, quantified the metrics indices, identified and quantified the network of co-authorship of the 1st generation scientists with their 2nd generation links, and determined the citations analyses of outputs of Dr. Burg and/or his 1st generation collaborators as co-authors. We also review the major advances in kidney physiology that have been made with the isolated perfused tubule technique. Finally, we are all waiting for the discoveries that the isolated perfused preparation technique will bring during the next 50 years. PMID: 27122544 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
