Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Photodynamic therapy which involves the use of photosensitizer molecule activated by a light source was proven very promising for the treatment of dermatological diseases, especially the resistant ones such as recalcitrant Plantar Warts (PW). Objective: However, its efficacy is hindered by the poor permeation of the photosensitizer molecule required to initiate skin photo-induced effects. Methods: In this manuscript, the efficiency of the nano-vesicular system (transfersomes) as a potential topical drug delivery system for the photosensitizer methylene blue (MB) was investigated following clinical Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in patients suffering from PW. Results: Results revealed that MB transfersomal gel displayed a higher complete healing percentage for the lesions compared to the free MB gel (86.67% versus 53.57%) achieved at a lower number of treatment sessions (2.2 versus 4.14). Patients reported no signs of pain or inflammation, with no recurrence of the lesions during the follow up period of 8 months. Conclusion: PDT using transfersomal MB is an effective and safe therapeutic modality for the treatment of PW.
