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.

Article Description
Rhabdomyolysis is a condition characterized by the destruction of muscle cells and subsequent release of it's intracellular contents. It is typically asymptomatic, with moderate creatine kinase elevation. Severe cases can involve disseminated intravascular coagulation, liver failure, or acute kidney injury, with a mortality rate of up to 50 %. Nutritional supplements containing compounds such as synephrine, caffeine, and clenbuterol have been reported to precipitate rhabdomyolysis. This case describes a 26-year-old male who, after consuming a full jar of fat burners, developed severe abdominal pain, choluria, myalgias, and muscle weakness. He was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure, requiring intensive care unit admission. The unregulated use of nutritional supplements may be an underestimated risk factor for rhabdomyolysis, especially given the fact that many cases are underdiagnosed.
