Trending and Emerging
- Teledermatology and Digital Health:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of teledermatology, leading to an increased number of studies focusing on remote consultations and digital health solutions to improve access to care. - Biologics and Targeted Therapies:
There is a significant rise in publications regarding biologics and targeted therapies for chronic skin diseases, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, showcasing the shift towards personalized medicine. - Health Disparities and Social Determinants of Health:
Research addressing health disparities in dermatology, particularly among underrepresented groups, is gaining traction, highlighting the need for equitable healthcare access and tailored interventions. - Mental Health and Dermatology:
The intersection of dermatology and mental health is increasingly recognized, with studies exploring the psychological impacts of skin diseases and the importance of integrating mental health care into dermatological practice. - Environmental Impact and Skin Health:
Emerging research is examining the effects of environmental factors, such as air pollution and climate change, on skin health, reflecting a growing awareness of the broader determinants of dermatological conditions.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Dermatologic Procedures:
Research related to traditional surgical approaches, such as excisional surgeries for benign lesions, has seen a decline as newer minimally invasive and non-invasive techniques gain prominence. - Acne and Rosacea Treatment Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the number of studies focused solely on acne and rosacea treatments, likely overshadowed by the rise of biologic therapies and more complex dermatological conditions. - Aesthetic Dermatology:
The focus on aesthetic procedures and cosmetic dermatology appears to be diminishing, as the journal shifts towards more medically-oriented research that addresses significant health concerns and chronic dermatological conditions. - Use of Older Therapeutics:
Research focusing on older therapeutic agents and methodologies, such as topical steroid usage without the context of newer treatments, is declining as the field moves towards more innovative solutions. - Dermatopathology Studies:
There is a reduced emphasis on purely dermatopathological studies as combined clinical and translational research becomes more favored, reflecting a broader interdisciplinary approach in dermatology.
