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
Anaphylaxis results from mast cell degranulation induced by allergen-specific IgE as well as various non-IgE-mediated mechanisms. It has been recently demonstrated that intrinsic abnormalities in mast cells, such as presence of activating D816V c-kit mutation, may influence susceptibility to anaphylaxis, especially in patients with idiopathic or hymenoptera-induced anaphylaxis. However, despite an improved understanding of the role of clonal mast cell disease in susceptibility to anaphylaxis, the basis of an apparent increase in susceptibility in the majority of patients remains poorly understood. In this chapter, we will review the potential mechanisms of mast cell activation as well as the range of symptoms and the differential diagnosis of patients suspected of having a disease caused by mast cell activation. In addition, we offer a global classification for disorders involving mast cells. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
