Con el objetivo de explorar la producción científica latinoamericana en economía de la salud, se realizó un estudio bibliométrico utilizando las bases de datos Web of Science (WoS), Scopus y Lilacs.

Background: Vitamin B12 deficiency is a nutritional problem that can present with neurological and hematological manifestations. There are limited reports on the appearance of involuntary movements when initiating cyanocobalamin treatment. Case report: A 5-month-old infant presented vomiting, paleness, and difficulty holding his head.

Conclusion: Little is reported about the occurrence of involuntary movements when vitamin B12 deficiency is corrected. Follow-up...

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Research activity in Latin American countries might be the key to solving, or at least improving, the understanding of stroke-related issues in the region. Our aim was to describe and analyze the research output on stroke in Latin America. Methods: We performed a bibliometric analysis of studies on stroke in Latin America reported from 2003 to 2017 in Scopus-indexed journals. We extracted the annual research, countries, journals, authors, institutions, citation frequency, and journal metrics. The data were quantitatively analyzed. Publication activity was adjusted to the countries by population size. Also, the results from an author and country co-occurrence analysis are presented as network visualization maps using VOSviewer. Results: A total of 2298 Latin American stroke-related reports were identified, most w...
