age-related macular degeneration: a scientometric analysis
Authors
abstract
age-related macular degeneration (armd) is a major cause of central blindness among working aged adults across the world. systematic research planning on any subject, including armd is in need of solid data regarding previous efforts in this field and to identify the gaps in the research. this study aimed to elucidate the most important trends, directions, and gap in this subject. the data extracted from the institute for scientific information were used to perform a bibliometric analysis of the scientific productions (1993–2013) about armd. specific parameters related to armd were analyzed to obtain a view of the topic’s structure, history, and document relationships. additionally, the trends and authors in the most influential publications were analyzed. the number of articles in this field was found constantly increasing. most highly cited articles addressed genetic epidemiology and clinical research topics in this field.â during the past 3 years, there has been a trend toward biomarker research. through performing the first scientometric survey on armd research, we analyzed the characteristics of papers and the trends in scientific production.â we also identified some of the critical gaps in the current research efforts that would help in large-scale research strategic planning.

amd بیماری تحلیل شبکیه است که عامل اصلی کوری در افراد بالای 55 سال در جهان غرب به شمار می-رود. در اثر این بیماری، لیپوپروتئین ها در شبکیه تجمع پیدا کرده و رگ زایی القاء می شود. ثابت شده است که عوامل ژنوتوکسیک محیطی مثل سیگار کشیدن، رژیم غذایی و نور در افراد پیر با زمینه ی ژنتیکی مستعد در بروز بیماری دخیل می باشند. بنابراین ما یک مطالعه ی مـورد- شاهـدی را ترتیب دادیم که شـامل 112 فرد مبتلا به am...
the genetics of age-related macular degeneration
age-related macular degeneration (amd) is the leading cause of blindness in old subjects. it is a multifactorial disease with both environmental and genetic factors playing some role in its pathogenesis. similar to many other genetic diseases, the inheritance pattern of amd does not fit into simple mendelian rules. these diseases are caused by the presence of multiple genetic factors and are ca...
full textMacular pigment and age related macular degeneration.
The present concepts of the pathogenesis of AMD include cumulative light damage by oxidative processes in the macular photoreceptors as environmental co-factor for the development of AMD. The direct causative connection of this hypothesis has still to be established but wide circumstantial evidence from epidemiological and basic scientific investigations are strongly supportive. Macular pigment...

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the developed countries. Approximately 8 million people in America have AMD and the number of advanced AMD is likely to rise by 50% by year 2020 due to the projected increase in the number of elderly people (Friedman et al., 2004). AMD is a condition of significant morbidity in terms of both physical and mental health (...
