Urb. has attracted considerable scientific interest because of its effects on wound repair, inflammation, antioxidant activity, collagen formation, scar formation, skin barrier function, and skin aging. In the current study, a bibliometric mapping approach was applied to investigate global research activity on <em>C. asiatica</em> in cosmetic and skin-related applications. The initial search generated 562 records from January 1, 2000, to March 31, 2026. The dataset was then restricted to English-language articles indexed in Scopus, resulting in 350 records. Through manual screening of the titles and abstracts, we noted that 27 review-like papers were incorrectly classified as articles, leading to a final corpus of 323 original research articles. Bibliometric analysis was used to evaluate publication trends, including top journals, authors, institutions and countries, along with citation networks, collaboration patterns, keyword clusters and evolution. The dataset included 7,032 citations (mean: 21.77 citations/article). The number of publications during the study period increased markedly and peaked in 2025, with 61 publications. Most research papers were produced in China, Thailand and India. The main themes were wound healing, asiaticoside, madecassoside, collagen, hydrogel systems, and skin barrier integrity. Studies on <em>C. asiatica</em> continue to focus on two major topics related to either therapeutic skin repair or mechanistic biology. However, while less developed, clinically based cosmetic applications are becoming better represented.</p> Rojjares Netthong Jeerisuda Orosram Krit Yingngam Nipaporn Muangchan Sisira Saengkaeo Prof.Dr.Bancha Yingngam Copyright (c) 2026 Interprofessional Journal of Health Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-09-30 2026-09-30 24 2 1613 https://li05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IJHS/article/view/1581 <p>Community pharmacists contribute to primary care, but their roles differ across health systems. Comparative evidence on service scope, legal authority, reimbursement, and healthcare integration in Thailand and other established pharmacy systems remains limited. To compare community-pharmacist roles in Thailand, the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (USA), and Australia and examine how health-system arrangements relate to service delivery. A comparative narrative review with a structured literature search was conducted. PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Thai Journals Online were searched for English- and Thai-language sources published from 2016 to 2026. PubMed Central was used for full-text retrieval. The final evidence base comprised 29 sources: 18 direct country- or service-specific sources and 11 contextual, review, professional, policy, or service sources. Findings were synthesized by country and service domain. UK evidence focused on nationally commissioned services, US evidence on jurisdiction-specific preventive and harm-reduction activities, and Australian evidence on structured medication review. Thai evidence described smoking cessation, digital communication, and NHSO-supported minor-illness care. Direct evidence for routine pharmacist-administered vaccination, formal telepharmacy, independent prescribing, and structured mental-health services in Thai community pharmacies was limited. Differences in source type and evidence coverage restricted direct comparison. Community-pharmacy roles vary in scope and organization across the four countries. International models may inform service development in Thailand but require adaptation to local legal, financial, and primary-care systems. Existing NHSO-supported services should be evaluated for safety, outcomes, referral, workload, and cost-effectiveness before wider expansion.</p> Pichamon Suwannaratch Varakrich Donmool Chaiyapat Jeerataweesook Chawanakorn Kaewsaiya Kraisorn Chairojkanjana Copyright (c) 2026 Interprofessional Journal of Health Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-09-21 2026-09-21 24 2 1581
