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
Helicobacter pylori infection is responsible for a range of gastroduodenal pathologies including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric cancer and gastric MALT lymphoma. It is usually acquired in childhood and is persistent. It affects around half of the global population but its prevalence is diminishing. H. pylori exhibits remarkable adaptability to the acidic environment of the stomach. The pathophysiology of H. pylori infection involves complex virulence factors that initiate a cascade of inflammatory and immune mechanisms that result in distinct gastritis phenotypes which determine the eventual gastroduodenal pathology. It is a very important cause of gastric cancer. Both invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tests are available. Treatment consists of the combination of an acid suppressant and two antibiotics and/or bismuth. A key concern is the dramatic increase in antibiotic resistance and the need for antibiotic stewardship.
