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.

Study Results from Ohio State University College of Medicine Provide New Insights into Peritonsillar Abscess (Hair, there, and everywhere: Peritonsillar abscess formation initiated by pet hair ingestion)

Case Description
Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a common diagnosis, yet the pathogenesis is not clearly defined.This is the first reported case of hair-containing abscess in the peritonsillar space. An eight-year-old male presented with classical symptoms for PTA. During operative drainage, aspiration revealed hair protruding from the peritonsillar space. Further dissection demonstrates a 1.5cm soft tissue material admixed with a collection of terminal hair. Imaging was negative for mass. This case supports a hypothesis for PTA formation in which blockage of Weber's salivary glands located superolateral to the palatine tonsil leads to infection and suppuration of the peritonsillar space.
