Takeshi Tsuda is a physician-researcher affiliated with Nemours Children’s Hospital Delaware whose indexed scholarly record includes work in pediatric cardiology, cardiovascular physiology, exercise performance, cardiomyopathy, and related clinical research. Institutional and bibliographic sources identify his affiliation with Nemours Children’s Health Delaware and associate his publications with the ORCID identifier 0000-0001-8110-1388. [1] [2]

Abstract

This academic recognition profile presents the research record of Takeshi Tsuda in the context of the International Soil Scientist Awards. The supplied bibliometric profile records 70 documents, 1,810 citations, and an h-index of 22. Independent institutional and bibliographic sources document a broader research program centered on pediatric cardiovascular medicine and quantitative clinical investigation. [1] [3]

Keywords

Introduction

Takeshi Tsuda’s documented academic activity spans clinical research and quantitative investigation in pediatric cardiovascular medicine. Nemours identifies him as a physician at its Delaware children’s hospital, while its researcher profile records research interests involving exercise physiology, cardiac rehabilitation, cardio-oncology, and dystrophic heart research. [2] These areas provide a substantial evidence base for examining how structured research data, clinical measurements, and analytical methods can contribute to biomedical investigation.

Research Profile

The supplied Scopus-based profile lists 70 documents, 1,810 citations, and an h-index of 22. Scopus-associated bibliographic information independently identifies author ID 7402162750 and reports publications across multiple biomedical journals. [1] The profile should therefore be interpreted as a bibliometric snapshot rather than a complete measure of research quality or significance.

Research Contributions

Published studies associated with Tsuda include investigations of cardiovascular abnormalities, exercise performance, cardiomyopathy, and pediatric cardiac conditions. For example, research has examined subclinical coronary abnormalities following arterial switch procedures, while later work addressed cardiovascular changes associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. [4] [5] Such publications illustrate the use of clinical observations, physiological measurements, and quantitative analysis in pediatric cardiovascular research.

Research Impact

The supplied citation metrics indicate a substantial indexed publication and citation record. Bibliographic sources also show continuing publications through 2026, including research on exercise performance and cardiovascular conditions. [1] [6] Citation counts and h-index values are useful indicators of scholarly visibility, but they do not independently establish the methodological quality, clinical importance, or originality of individual studies.

Award Suitability

For an award consideration process, the documented publication record, citation indicators, institutional affiliation, and identifiable research outputs provide material that can be evaluated against the award’s published criteria. The available evidence is primarily biomedical rather than soil-science-specific; consequently, any assessment should distinguish general research achievements from contributions directly relevant to soil science, environmental systems, or agricultural applications. The award committee may use the complete submitted record for its formal evaluation.

Conclusion

Takeshi Tsuda’s documented research profile combines an established bibliometric record with continuing scholarly activity in pediatric cardiovascular and quantitative clinical research. Institutional records and indexed publications provide verifiable evidence of his affiliation and research outputs, while the supplied Scopus metrics offer a concise representation of citation-based visibility.
