“…However, as plastic and reconstructive surgery as a field works to close this gap, it is likely that the gap in academic productivity will close as well. 17 Additionally, our findings demonstrate a significant difference in mean weighted RCR between integrated and independent programs. This is consistent with research of academic plastic surgeons utilizing other bibliometric indices.…”

Background: The accurate assessment of physician academic productivity is paramount and is frequently included in decisions for promotion and tenure. Current metrics such as h-index have been criticized for being biased toward older researchers and misleading. The relative citation ratio (RCR) is a newer metric that has been demonstrated within other surgical subspecialties to be a superior means of measuring academic productivity. We sought to demonstrate that RCR is a valid means of assessing academic productivity among plastic surgeons, and to determine demographic factors that are associated with higher RCR values. Methods: All Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited plastic and reconstructive surgery residency programs and faculty throughout the United States were compiled from the American Council of Academic Plastic Surgeons website. Demographic information was obtained for each surgeon via the program’s website, and RCR data were obtained utilizing iCite, a bibliometrics tool provided by the National Institutes of Health. Surgeons were excluded if any demographic or RCR data were unavailable. Results: A total of 785 academic plastic surgeons were included in this analysis. Surgeons who belonged to departments with more than six members had a higher median RCR (1.23). Increasing academic rank (assistant: 12.27, associate: 24.16, professor: 47.58), chief/chairperson status (47.58), male gender (25.59) and integrated model of residency training program (24.04) were all associated with higher median weighted RCR. Conclusions: RCR is a valid metric for assessing plastic surgeon academic productivity. Further research is warranted in assessing disparities among different demographics within academic plastic surgery.

“…5,6 However, two recent studies on general surgery and plastic surgery residents revealed that there was no significant difference between male and female residents. 7,12 It is possible that there is a potential change underway in terms of increasing female representation in academic publications, which counteracts a long-standing trend of male dominance in academia that has been noted across various specialties, including ophthalmology. 13 We also found no significant associations between whether the resident had a doctorate degree or whether they held an MD or a DO degree.…”

Background The extent and impact of ophthalmology resident scholarly output is not well known. The authors aim to quantify scholarly activity of ophthalmology residents during residency and assess what factors may be associated with greater research productivity of these residents. Material and Methods Ophthalmology residents who graduated in 2021 were identified from their respective program Web sites. Bibliometric data published by these residents between the beginning of their postgraduate year 2 (July 1, 2018) until 3 months after graduation (September 30, 2021) were captured through searches via PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The association of the following factors with greater research productivity numbers was analyzed: residency tier, medical school rank, sex, doctorate degree, type of medical degree, and international medical graduate status. Results We found 418 ophthalmology residents from 98 residency programs. These residents published a mean (±standard deviation [SD]) number of 2.68 ± 3.81 peer-reviewed publications, 2.39 ± 3.40 ophthalmology-related publications, and 1.18 ± 1.96 first-author publications each. The mean (±SD) Hirsch index (h-index) for this cohort was 0.79 ± 1.17. Upon multivariate analysis, we discovered significant correlations between both residency tier and medical school rank and all bibliometric variables assessed. Pairwise comparisons revealed that residents from higher tier programs had greater research productivity numbers than those from lower tier programs. Conclusion We obtained bibliometric standards for ophthalmology residents on a national scale. Residents who graduated from higher-ranked residency programs and medical schools possessed higher h-indices and published more peer-reviewed publications, ophthalmology-related articles, and first-author publications.

“…Evidence of this increasing rates of plastic surgery can also be confirmed by the simultaneous increased publications on it, since 2010 to date (Maisner et al, 2022;Bezzini et al, 2021;Liechty et al, 2020;Plana et al, 2018). For empowering our women, plastic surgery has given many women the opportunity to climb higher in the academic ladder, profession and writing (Maisner et al, 2022;Reghunathan et al, 2020;Moak et al, 2020;Plana et al, 2018). In the years 2010 to 2019, the number of articles on cosmetic/plastic surgeries which used to be 747 has jumped like a frog to 1049 yearly (Liechty et al, 2020).…”

The recent increases in legally married couple ignoring each other’s sexual needs though it is one of the pillars for happy marriage must be a headache to all. It is an open secret nowadays to see and hear married partners complaining bitterly about being sexually neglected. Though men were not known for ignoring sexual demands of their wives, now women also complaint of their husbands avoiding them. But they are mostly later caught red handed cheating. Cheating used to be popular amongst only men but now women are also well known for cheating on their husbands. But shockingly, women who cheat have rebranded cheating; especially with their co-workers as “Office husbands”. Many men have also shared their painful experiences of catching their wives whilst they were also in the act of cheating. These are mostly as a result of partners’ inability to fully sexually satisfy each other in bed. Increasing refusal of partners to have sexual intimacy has not only contributed to increasing breaking homes and domestic violence, but homicides. Homicide especially in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region is the highest in the world that targets mostly young males. Evidence shows that sexual satisfaction during intercourse is one of the oils of family peace. One of the ways partners would surprise themselves often in bed and have stronger bonds; is by appreciating the roles that sensitive anatomical structures of their bodies play in making them sexually satisfied. But there is little available literature linking the anatomy, physiology and psychology of humans’ love, romance, and sexual satisfaction. To help promote individuals and family peace for global peace, quality health and entrepreneurship; this review was done help to educate couples and the public on how the anatomies and physiologies of their bodies after helping them win love can also help them maintain it. Through this review too, partners would also appreciate their anatomical structures and how they can help them not to only enjoy sexual intercourse but have orgasm. This review is also to encourage couples to freely communicate their feelings and how their partners should satisfy them. Sexual rejection by married partners would further increase with associated increasing cheatings, incest, break ups, and even homicides if nothing is done. This review would help legally married people identify how to satisfy their sexual needs and stay strongly bonded in their marriages. This will also contributes to peaceful and healthy families who can work for economic development.
