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.

Book Chapter Description
Neurosyphilis is the consequence of the invasion of the central nervous system by Treponema pallidum and the associated immunological response. Neurosyphilis presents in variegate fashions. The most common form of neurosyphilis currently diagnosed is asymptomatic neurosyphilis. Typically, serological evidence of syphilis prompts cerebrospinal fluid analysis in the absence of neurological symptoms. Among the symptomatic disorders of neurosyphilis, the earliest to manifest is syphilitic meningitis. Meningovascular syphilis typically occurs 6–7 years after the initial infection. Tabes dorsalis is a parenchymatous form of neurosyphilis and typically has a latency of 15–30 years from the time of infection. The most distinctive and often heralding symptom is lightning-like pains, which may be triggered by touch and most often affect the legs and abdomen. Pupillary abnormalities are observed in more than 90% of patients. General paresis is a manifestation of parenchymatous neurosyphilis and, like tabes dorsalis, usually develops after a long (15–30 years) hiatus from the time of infection. Neurosyphilis should be diagnosed in persons with reactive specific treponemal serologies occurring in association with a reactive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test.
