Declining or Waning
- Traditional Hemapheresis Techniques:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies focused on traditional hemapheresis methods, as newer technologies and techniques gain prominence in clinical practice, leading to reduced interest in established methods. - Generalized Apheresis Protocols:
The publication of generic apheresis protocols without specific clinical context or outcomes has decreased, suggesting a shift towards more tailored and condition-specific research. - Single-Center Studies:
There appears to be a waning emphasis on single-center studies, with a preference for multicenter collaborations that provide more robust data and insights applicable across diverse clinical settings. - Basic Research on Apheresis Mechanisms:
Research focusing solely on the basic mechanisms of apheresis without direct clinical application or implications is less frequently published, as the journal prioritizes studies that demonstrate clear clinical relevance.
