Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
The pathological features of three European patients with plasma cell dyscrasia, osteosclerosis and a multisystem disorder, most frequent in Japan, that includes polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein anti skin changes (POEMS syndrome), are reported. The material was obtained from biopsies (peroneal nerve, lymph node) and general autopsy, including hypophysis, in one case. The most salient findings were: peripheral nerve lesions, including both segmental demyelination and axonal degeneration, with socalled uncompacted myelin lamellae (UML); angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia (AFLNH); and non inflammatory vascular changes. Though not specific, it appears that UML and AFLNH may be contributive findings in atypical cases of POEMS syndrome (incomplete forms, lack of underlying malignant plasma cell dyscrasia or circulating monoclonal immunoglobulin). Among the various autopsy findings we emphasize the skin thickening which was secondary to a hyaline sclerosis of the papillary dermis, and the presence in adenohypophysis of numerous cells showing positive reactions with the anti-alpha MSH antibody. Though immunological, vascular and hormonal disturbancies have been implicated at the origin of several manifestations of the disorder, the pathogenesis of the POEMS syndrome remains obsecure. © 1988 Springer-Verlag.
