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.

Data on Nephropathy Detailed by Researchers at Dokkyo Medical University (Direct Observation of Epoxy Resin Blocks for Renal Biopsy By Low-vacuum Scanning Electron Microscopy)

Article Description
To improve the resolution of low-vacuum scanning electron microscopy (LVSEM), the epoxy resin block for the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was observed directly with LVSEM. After observing ultrathin sections from renal biopsies of IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, diabetic nephropathy (DM), thin basement membrane disease (TBMD), Alport’s syndrome, Fabry’s disease, and renal amyloidosis, the epoxy resin blocks of the same sites were observed by LVSEM and compared. The LVSEM image of the epoxy resin block corresponds to the negative of the TEM image, and when the gradation is reversed, the LVSEM image was comparable to the TEM image. At a low magnification of 100 ×, the entire specimen, including the glomerulus, was obtained. LVSEM at 5000 × magnification was sufficient to identify paramesangial deposits in IgA nephropathy and subepithelial electron-dense deposits (EDD) and spikes in membranous nephropathy. Glomerular basement membrane thickening in DM and thinning in TBMD could be sufficiently diagnosed with LVSEM at 6000 ×. Accumulation of ceramide in Fabry's disease was easily identified, but amyloid fibril could not be identified by LVSEM. LVSEM of renal biopsy epoxy resin blocks can replace TEM up to moderate magnification.
