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
The sensitivity in vitro of Plasmodium falciparum to mefloquine, quinine and artemisinin was assessed in an area of multi-drug resistance on the Thai-Myanmar border, using the World Health Organization's microtest, based on schizont maturation inhibition. Participating individuals were exclusively those who had contracted their infections within Myanmar. A total of 34 successful tests were carried out for mefloquine and quinine, showing a marked decrease in sensitivity compared to previously published results. Ten artemisinin tests were successful, with many failures due to the poor storage stability of the test plates. The implications of the shelf-life of the artemisinin plates is discussed. These results contribute to setting a base line of sensitivity to artemisinin in vitro.
