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
Purpose: The detailed efficacy of intraluminal l-menthol for preventing colonic spasm is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of l-menthol in preventing colonic spasm during colonoscopy. Methods: We analyzed 65 patients (mean age: 71.7 years; 49 men and 16 women) who were administered 0.8 % l-menthol (MINCLEA, Nihon Seiyaku, Tokyo, Japan) intraluminally for severe colonic spasm during colonoscopic examination at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine between February 2012 and May 2013. The efficacy of l-menthol was defined as the absence of colonic spasm during a period of 30 s, and its effect was evaluated at 30 s, 1 min, and 5 min after administration. Additionally, various characteristics of these patients were analyzed. Twenty-seven patients with severe colonic spasm were administered intraluminal water and assessed as controls. Results: l-Menthol was effective in preventing colonic spasms in 60.0 %, 70.8 %, and 46.5 % of patients at 30 s, 1 min, and 5 min, respectively. In contrast, water was effective in 22.2 %, 29.6 %, and 48.1 % of patients at 30 s, 1 min, and 5 min, respectively. There was a significant difference about the efficacy at 30 s and 1 min between l-menthol and water (P=0.0009, P=0.0006). Conclusions: l-Menthol (0.8 %) was effective in preventing colonic spasm during colonoscopic examination. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.
