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
Status of serum vitamin C, β-carotene and α-tocopherol concentrations was evaluated in 17 camels suffering from pneumonia. The grossly affected lungs were collected for histopathological examination from camels at slaughterhouses, and serum samples were processed for measuring β-carotene (micrograms per decilitre), vitamin C (milligrams per decilitre) and α-tocopherol (micrograms per decilitre) levels. Based on histopathological examinations, camels under investigation were classified as acute bronchopneumonia (N = 3), chronic bronchopneumonia (N = 4), chronic pleuropneumonia (N = 3), interstitial pneumonia (N = 3), embolic pneumonia (N = 3) and control group (N = 4). The results revealed significant decreases in serum vitamin C and α-tocopherol concentrations in all investigated types of pneumonia. However, serum β-carotene showed insignificant changes. Results of the present study clearly demonstrated the importance of supplementing camels suffering from pneumonia with sources of vitamins along with the conventional systemic treatment to overcome the oxidative stress and to avoid the possible complications of α-tocopherol and vitamin C deficiencies. © 2011 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
