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
Background: Hydatid disease is caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis or Echinococcus Vogeli. It is the most severe helminthic zoonosis, with a major medical, social, and economic burden in endemic areas such as the Mediterranean region, South America, Australia, Turkey, New Zealand, Alaska, Canada, and the Middle East. The cornerstone in the management of hydatid cysts is surgery, and its recurrence is due mainly to the spillage of hydatid scolices rich fluid into the surrounding tissues. Aim: In this study, we test a polymer benefit in intraoperative scolices spillage prevention, this polymer is called LeGoo. Methods: The LeGoo polymer was used here in vivo animal's hydatid cysts and in vitro hydatid cysts excised from human beings. Result: Microscopic examination of the aspirated fluid from human being and sheep hydatid cysts before LeGoo injection showed numerous alive scolices. All sheep lung hydatid cysts with LeGoo injection transformed into a solid gelatinous mass, microscopic examination of the content swabs showed no scolices. LeGoo polymer injection into human hydatid cysts in vitro changed them into a solid gelatinous mass that can be mobilized easily with negative swabs for scolices. © 2013 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.
