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
Endocrine emergencies are rare in emergency medicine but with an increasing incidence. This article focuses on understanding the pathophysiology of endocrine feedback loops in order to improve the recognition and emergency treatment of endocrine emergencies of the thyroid glands, adrenal glands and pituitary glands. Thyroid storm and myxedema coma are life-threatening thyroid emergencies, which need intensive care treatment. Hypertensive crises can occur in Cushing’s disease, pheochromocytoma and hyperaldosteronism and thus need a specific treatment. Adrenal insufficiency is a life-threatening disease, which is often initially overlooked as it only leads to an unspecific deterioration of the general condition. Diabetes insipidus is the most dangerous acute pituitary disease, which in the case of somnolence can rapidly lead to a hypovolemic shock.
