Scientometric analysis of elephantiasis research output publications from SCOPUS database during 2007-2021

This study studies or evaluates elephantiasis research trends from 2007 to 2021 to discuss the possibility of employing data from the Scopus database. Between 2007 and 2021, Elevated body temperature results from a sickness that progresses to a chronic condition. Shaking, having a headache, and being worn out. Increased skin and tissue swelling. An annual rise in elephantiasis research articles of 1924 research publications and 26,703 citations.

The authors study purpose is to look at how scientometric elephantiasis research is evolving and to detect any trends in that development. On the basis of the sample data, it also seeks to identify historical trends in scientometrics published research articles on elephantiasis. The study examines how various countries have enhanced the productivity of this sector of research during the last few decades.

The overall fifteen-year study period identified a progressive growth in elephantiasis research pap ers from the Scopus database during 2007- 2021. The Relative growth rate is 0.72 in the year 2008 and 0.06 in the year 2021, according to the data. Articles contributed to a maximum of 1,506 (78.27%) research publications of this sort, while 199 unique writers contributed to the total. The level of teamwork is 0.89 on average. The CC value on average is 0.67. Average CI and MCC values are 4.22 and 4.25, respectively. Davey G. a researcher from the United States, contributed a maximum of 92 (15.75%) research papers, while Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine contributed a maximum of 157 (16.27%). Plos Neglected Tropical Diseases contributes the journals with a maximum of 239 (32.92) research papers and the nation with a maximum of 583 (26.55%) research publications by United State.

When severe, elephantiasis can result from filariasis, which most frequently affects the lower extremities. When they experience walking difficulties and/or dependence on others for everyday activities, the majority of affected people seek treatment with large lymph oedematous legs in the latter stages, 20 to 30 years after the first diagnosis. The main determinant in limiting impairment when surgery is chosen is postoperative rehabilitation. Only the 2007–2021 period is examined in this analysis.

The results of this experiment clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the current control methods. However, to increase community involvement in the framework of the primary healthcare system & increase the efficacy of disease control, health education should be done in communities in endemic areas, notably for the adenolymphangitis (ADL). Elephantiasis & hydrocele also ranked highly among the disorders that were reported, whereas ADL attacks were named as the condition that the local populations were most afraid about.

An infection brought on by mosquito bites leads to the parasitic disease elephantiasis. Worms clog the lymphatic channels, resulting in swelling and the buildup of lymphatic fluid. There are many asymptomatic infections. The kidneys and lymphatic system continue to be harmed by these symptoms-only infections. Drugs can be used to treat the condition. The greatest method of prevention is to stay away from mosquito bites and get rid of their nesting grounds. Elephantiasis is a parasite illness that typically develops in childhood and damages the lymphatic system. It is brought on by a mosquito bite infection. Other times, both acute and chronic symptoms may manifest; when the disease progresses to a chronic condition, it causes an elevated core body temperature. Shaking, having a headache, and being worn out. limbs, tissues, and skin that are swollen and enlarged (lymphatic oedema). Genitals swelling. Ulceration and roughness in the skin.
