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.

Book Chapter Description
Neuropsychological symptoms in warfighters after exposures to blast have triggered considerable research interest in the pathophysiological manifestations of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI). Preclinical research models of blast are attractive tools to understand the prognosis of behavioral changes, identify relevant biomarkers and characterize the neurobiological underpinnings of blast injury. However, the lack of standardization among preclinical bTBI studies has led to numerous inconsistencies in the data. Inadequate characterization of blast simulators, incomplete understanding and interpretation of blast physics, improper use of animal restraining techniques, and misapplication of biomechanical loading conditions in animal research have led to laboratory results that all-too-often bear little resemblance and relevance to injuries sustained by warfighters. Another major challenge for the bTBI research community is inadequate reporting of methodological conditions such as total pressure, static pressure, positive pressure duration, negative pressure duration, and impulse, to name a few, which has also contributed to ambiguous and sometimes conflicting research outcomes. This report focuses on the requirements for standardization of rodent experimental blast exposure conditions, blast simulator characterization, and guidelines on the dissemination of blast injury research methodology.
