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
Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous bacterial infection caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium leprae (M.leprae) that primarily affects the skin and peripheral nerves. Leprosy is a multi-organ infectious disease that can cause severe disability. Lepromatous leprosy is considered to be at the systemic and infectious end of the disease spectrum and correlates with an absence of an immune response to M. leprae antigens. Tuberculoid leprosy form correlates with adequate immune response, lesions are not usually large or numerous and it may resolve spontaneously. Multidrug therapy treatment is a highly effective cure for leprosy. Leprosy may be complicated by episodes of immunological instability including type-1 and type-2 reactions (erythema nodosum leprosum).
