Postirradiation pseudosclerodermatous panniculitis presents as an erythematous indurated plaque, on a previously irradiated area. Histopathologically, thick and sclerotic septa and inflammatory infiltrate with foamy histiocytes and adiponecrosis are seen. To date, 12 cases have been reported worldwide. Hereby, we report the case of a 68-year-old woman who developed an indurated painful erythematous plaque on her right leg after radiotherapy for a soft tissue sarcoma, with a septal panniculitis and lobular adiponecrosis on histopathological examination. This is the 13th case reported and the second of extrathoracic location.
BACKGROUNDDisseminating information derived from systematic reviews is a fundamental step
for translating evidence into practice.OBJECTIVETo determine which features of dermatological SR are associated with systematic
review dissemination, using citation rates as an indicator.METHODSDermatological systematic reviews published between 2008 and 2012 were obtained
from Scopus, the ISI Web of Sciences and the Cochrane Skin Group. Bibliometric
data of every systematic review were collected and analyzed.RESULTSA total of 320 systematic reviews were analyzed. Univariable analysis showed that
the journal impact factor, number of authors, and total references cited were
positively associated with the number of citations. There was a significant
difference in the median number of citations with regard to the corresponding
author's country, type of skin disease, type of funding, and presence of
international collaboration. Cochrane reviews were significantly associated with a
lower number of citations. Multivariable analysis found that the number of
authors, number of references cited and the corresponding author from United
Kingdom were independently correlated with many citations. Cochrane systematic
reviews tended to be independently associated with a lower number of
citations.CONCLUSIONSCitation number to systematic reviews may be improving by increasing the number of
authors, especially collaborative authors, and the number of cited references. The
reasons for the association of Cochrane SRs with fewer citations should be
addressed in future studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
