Declining or Waning
- General Anatomy Reviews:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications focused solely on general anatomy reviews, as the trend shifts towards more specific studies with clinical implications. - Historical Anatomical Studies:
Research centered around historical anatomical practices and classical descriptions is less frequent, indicating a move towards contemporary applications and relevance in modern medical practices. - Animal Anatomy Studies:
Although animal anatomy remains relevant, the frequency of studies dedicated exclusively to comparative anatomy in non-human species is diminishing, possibly due to a greater focus on human anatomical variants and their clinical applications.
