Abstract

Radiation injury has a complex pathophysiology and can result in long-term impediment of the dermal barrier function. Historically, its treatment has been no different to that of thermal burns and it is not always possible to prevent an unpredictable and uncontrolled extension of the radiation-induced reactions. Non-invasive physical plasma, a highly energised gas encompassing a combination of various reactive species, positively affects the key players involved in wound healing and proves to be a promising treatment option for chronic wounds and inflammatory skin disorders. Recent clinical evidence also suggests preliminary efficacy in radiation injury following therapeutic irradiation as a part of cancer therapy. Further research is warranted to also investigate the clinical value of non-invasive physical plasma in the context of unplanned or accidental radiation exposure, either as a topical treatment or possibly as an intraoperative procedure, to potentially improve the dermatological outcome and reduce symptoms in radiation victims.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 March 2023.
All research outputs
#17,301,727
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Wound Repair & Regeneration
#839
of 1,103 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#249,128
of 424,068 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Wound Repair & Regeneration
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,103 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 424,068 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
