Abstract

The review focuses on the current knowledge and the most pertinent hypotheses regarding the local host immune response as the key factor for the pathogenesis of implant-associated infections. Although bacterial biofilms have long been recognized as causative agents, the link between the infection and the devastating inflammatory response, particularly the localized tissue destruction and bone degradation is less well understood. Understanding these consequences of infection, however, is of utmost importance, because suppressing inflammation and preventing bone destruction could be a novel, alternative therapeutic option in cases when eradicating the infections fails.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 10 November 2016.
All research outputs
#5,767,273
of 22,899,952 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#890
of 4,953 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#91,623
of 393,780 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#82
of 443 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,899,952 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,953 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
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 393,780 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 443 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
