Abstract

Idiopathic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a rare syndrome, characterized by clubbing, progressive enlargement of the joints, coarse facial features suggesting acromegaly, palmoplantar hyperhidrosis, fibrous covering at the ends of long bones (periostosis), and acro-osteolysis. It is a self-limiting condition but arthralgia may be as severe as limiting social life and activity, and it is the main complaint to be treated. We report on two siblings with pachydermoperiostosis (PDP), one of whom had arthralgia. Although several drugs have been used, we used tamoxifen for his arthralgia and his complaint disappeared. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case treated by tamoxifen reported in the literature.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 23 May 2014.
All research outputs
#7,453,350
of 22,786,087 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Rheumatology
#1,139
of 2,993 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22,602
of 64,609 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Rheumatology
#7
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,786,087 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,993 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.9. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% 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 64,609 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
