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.

Article Description
Introduction Young children with significant ventricular dilatation or large intracranial fluid spaces often have a very thin cortical mantle as a result of persistently raised intracranial pressure. This rim of cortex has a tendency to fall away from the dura into the cavity during and after intracranial surgery, due to the lack of support, once the pressure in the fluid cavity has been reduced. This can lead to tearing of cortical bridging veins and the formation of post-operative subdural haematomas. Methods We describe a simple technique that attempts to prevent this phenomenon occurring using tissue glue. Once the craniotomy has been performed and the dura has been formally opened, tissue glue is applied to the underside of the dura around the edge of the wound, prior to corticotomy. Results and conclusion This results in the cortical mantle adhering to the undersurface of the dura and prevents the mantle from falling into the cavity either during the procedure or post-operatively. © Springer-Verlag 2009.
