The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) published guidelines in 2020 regarding the management of psoriasis with topical therapies. These guidelines are a framework that assist clinicians treating psoriasis patients with topical agents including steroids, calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), vitamin D analogues, retinoids (tazarotene), emollients, keratolytics (salicylic acid), anthracenes (anthralin), and keratoplastics (coal tar).

Plast Reconstr Surg

November 2020

From Albany Medical College; the Division of Plastic Surgery, Albany Medical Center; and the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Montefiore Medical Center.

  • Analysis of 971 articles published over two years shows strong correlations between the Altmetric Score and various article metrics, but only a weak correlation with the h-index.
  • The findings suggest that while both metrics provide insights into scholarly output, they serve different purposes and should be considered complementary rather than interchangeable.
