Anatomical and Clinical Evaluation of Tympanic Tegmen and Mastoid Bone With Multidetector Computed Tomography
(Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2023) Sever, Sinem Nur; Cetin, Huseyin; Caliskan, Selma; Akkasoglu, Sinem; Basic Sciences
Tegmen level and mastoid bone thickness are important parameters of surgical risk in middle ear and mastoid region surgeries. This retrospective cohort study was conducted to provide a risk classification for the mastoid and middle ear regions. The study population comprised of 300 patients who underwent multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for various indications. Patients with no pathology that disrupted the structure of the temporal region were included in the study. A risk classification was generated by analyzing the data obtained from mastoid and tympanic tegmen depths and the mastoid bone thickness by MDCT. The mastoid and tympanic tegmen were lower on the right side than on the left. In women, the right-sided mastoid bone thickness and mastoid tegmen were lower, and low-level tympanic and mastoid tegmen on the left and thin right mastoid bones were more common. According to the risk classifications for mastoid and middle ear region surgeries, women demonstrated a higher risk than men. In addition, as the thickness of the mastoid bone increased, the levels of the mastoid and tympanic tegmen increased. The present study provides a proper risk classification that may be helpful for preoperative risk assessment prior to middle ear and mastoid region surgery.
Bibliometric Analysis of Publications on Stapedius Muscle
(Pera Yayincilik Hizmetleri, 2024) Sever, Sinem Nur; Sen, Esra; Turhan, Begümhan; Basic Sciences
Objective: The clinical importance of the stapedius muscle has been particularly emphasized in several publications. The purpose of this study is to bibliometrically analyze all publications on the stapedius muscle and to determine research trends related to this muscle. Methods: The publications related to the stapedius muscle were identified by the Web of Science database. A total of 548 publications were discovered throughout the literature review. Bibliometric techniques were employed to analyze the identified publications (VOSviewer Version 1.6.13). Results: The first studies were conducted in the 1980s. The highest number of publications related to the stapedius muscle was in 2020 (22 studies), while the lowest was in 1985 (2 studies). Most of the publications (90.11%) were written in English. The USA was the most prolific nation, with John J. Guinan having written the most articles on the stapedius muscle. Harvard University was also the most prolific institution. Conclusion: The findings demonstrated the researchers’ interest in the stapedius muscle and offered quantifiable information regarding the muscle’s position within the scientific domain. Recent years have seen an increase in studies on this topic. To the best of our knowledge, it can be said that this study is the first bibliometric analysis on the stapedius muscle.

Mapping the Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee: a Bibliometric Analysis
(Springernature, 2025) Oktem, Hale; Jamil, Yusuf; Sever, Sinem Nur; Basic Sciences
BackgroundThis study aims to evaluate research trends, key contributors, and thematic focuses in research of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee. It seeks to identify future direction for studies related to long-term clinical outcomes regarding ALL's role in rotational stability, especially in the context of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.MethodsA bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science (WoS) database, covering publications from 2012 to 2024 with the search term "anterolateral ligament". A total of 942 studies were identified. Descriptive statistics summarized publication trends, authorship, institutional contributions, and citation metrics. VOSviewer software was used to analyze co-authorship network analysis, keyword co-occurrence mapping, and total citation analysis. Yearly publication and citation trends were analyzed using WoS data. Studies addressing the ALL in other body regions were excluded. Additionally, only authors with at least one publication and one citation were considered, and documents with more than 25 authors were excluded. A total citation analysis was conducted, and 24 relevant keywords with more than 5 occurrences were identified using VOSviewer.ResultsAmong 942 publications, 707 were original articles. Research output peaked in 2017 (125 articles). Sonnery-Cottet was the leading author (75 publications), while Universidade De S & atilde;o-Paulo emerged as the top institution (57 publications). Key journals included Arthroscopy: Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery (143 articles) and The American Journal of Sports Medicine (131 articles). Keywords such as "anterior cruciate ligament", "reconstruction", and "rotational stability" dominated, reflecting a focus on ACL injury management. The top ten cited studies accrued 3,86 citations, with Claes et al.'s anatomical study leading (621 citations). Of the 942 ALL-related articles in WoS, 381 focused on anatomy (11,278 citations) while 814 addressed reconstruction (17,048 citations). Keyword trends shifted from anatomical to clinical terms, with anatomy declining and stability, injury, and outcomes gaining prominence from 2021 to 2024.ConclusionsThis bibliometric analysis underscores the growing interest in ALL research, peaking between 2016 and 2017. While foundational studies on ALL anatomy and biomechanics appear saturated, future research should prioritize clinical outcomes in terms of failure rate, reoperation, the long-term efficacy of ACL-ALL reconstruction, and advancements in imaging techniques.
Scientific Research on the Pineal Gland: a Bibliometric Analysis From Its First Publication
(Aves, 2024) Şen, Esra; Sever, Sinem Nur; Turhan, Begümhan; Basic Sciences
Objective: The bibliometric perspective examines publications using a quantitative way and statistics to analyze them. The purpose of the current study was to perform a comprehensive overview of the research on the pineal gland through bibliometric methods to determine the trends and rare topics related to the gland. Methods: The Web of Science database was used to identify the publications associated with the gland. The literature review exposed a total of 8719 publications. The identified publications were analyzed using the bibliometric approaches (VOSviewer Version 1.6.13). Results: The first studies on the pineal gland were in the 1970s. The most prolific country is the United States (2451). It was seen that most of the articles were published in Journal of Pineal Research. The majority of publications (97.09%) were written in English. The most prolific author is Reiter, Russel J. Moreover, the most prolific institute is the Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique (France). The most popular keywords in the articles were pineal gland, melatonin, circadian rhythm, rat, retina, photoperiod, circadian, aging, serotonin, oxidative stress, and brain. Conclusion: The results indicated the researchers’ interest in the gland and provided quantitative data about the place of the gland in the scientific area. Studies on this subject have tended to increase in recent years. As far as we know, this research is the first bibliometric study to provide a comprehensive analysis of scientific publications with an emphasis on the pineal gland since 1976.
