A complement to the H-index: a metric based on primary authorship
In an era of ever-increasing medical and scientific publications, metrics capturing research output are increasingly relevant. Currently, the leading measure for quantifying a researcher's publication record impact is the h-index. As proposed by Hirsch in 2005 it is a simple metric providing a number which is equal to the greatest number of publications by an author with each publication having a minimum of that same number of citations1. The h-index has continued to become more and more relevant for a researcher in terms of securing funding, vying for promotions, or applying for an academic position.

Popular biodiversity app to expand
The nonprofit that runs iNaturalist, a popular app and website for identifying species, has received a $10 million grant to expand. The funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, announced last week, will allow iNaturalist—whose website is one of the largest generators of crowd-sourced species-occurrence data—to add users, technology, and observations to inform conservation. iNaturalist hopes to grow in nature-rich parts of the world, such as Asia and South America, which have fewer users uploading data. Since iNaturalist’s founding in 2008, the ...

A cardiovascular polypill for secondary stroke prevention in a tertiary centre in Ghana (SMAART): a phase 2 randomised clinical trial
Lancet Glob Health. 2023 Oct;11(10):e1619-e1628. doi: 10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00347-9.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: A cardiovascular polypill containing generic drugs might facilitate sustained implementation of and adherence to evidence-based treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the impact of a cardiovascular polypill in mitigating atherosclerotic risk among stroke survivors has not been assessed. We aimed to compare a polypill regimen with usual care on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) regression after ischaemic stroke.METHODS: In SMAART, a phase 2 parallel, open-label, assessor-masked, randomised clini...

Innovation During Cardiovascular Training, An Unmet Need
With the rapid advancement of technology, cardiovascular medicine has seen some of the highest degrees of clinical innovation [1]. Though academic institutions are often the center of change, innovation has rarely been formally incorporated into cardiovascular training programs in this country. Unfortunately, attempts to include innovation as a core component of the cardiovascular fellowship curriculum are deterred by limitations such as funding, mentorship, and most notably time. Despite these challenges, we must find ways to make participation in these programs more feasible and accessible to post graduate medical trainees.

Protocol of a randomised controlled phase II clinical trial investigating PREoperative endoscopic injection of BOTulinum toxin into the sphincter of Oddi to reduce bile leakage after hepatic resection: the PREBOT-II trial
Introduction
Bile leakage represents a major cause of morbidity following hepatic resection. Although most patients can be managed non-operatively, this complication requires diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. Preoperative endoscopic injection of botulinum toxin (BTX) into the sphincter of Oddi represents an innovative approach to prevent bile leakage. The aim of the PREBOT-II trial is to generate the first randomised controlled trial data on the safety, feasibility and efficacy of preoperative endoscopic BTX injection into the sphincter of Oddi to prevent bile leakage following hepatic resection.
Methods and anal...

South Korea, a science spending champion, proposes cutbacks
South Korea’s government surprised many of the nation’s scientists last month when it abruptly proposed cutting research spending by 10.9% in 2024 and shifting resources into a number of new initiatives, including efforts to build rockets, pursue high-risk biomedical research, and build a U.S.-style biotech innovation ecosystem similar to the one that has grown up around Boston.
Officials said the dramatic restructuring—which could end a decadeslong surge in science spending that has helped make South Korea a global research force—was needed to help tame growing budget deficits and to focus resources on the mo...
