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
This chapter presents the epidemiological and experimental evidence showing the importance of secondary metabolites of Fusarium microfungi in the etiologies of the human cancers of sex organs, the digestive tract and the brain. Fusarial secondary metabolites are sporadically present in livestock feeds and have been recognized as the cause of a variety of disorders, “mycotoxicoses,” some of which are fatal. The carcinogenic potentialities of fusarial mycotoxins have yet to be fully evaluated. Though the available experimental data are scanty, epidemiological and circumstantial evidence strongly indicates that the prevention of common human cancers may largely depend on the decrease or elimination of carcinogenic mycotoxins from the environment and food. Large scale disasters caused by mycotoxins occurred in people who were usually undernourished in the form of ergotism among populations consuming rye bread contaminated with ergot alkaloids produced by Claviceps purpurea. The greater efficacy of few large doses of such “natural” carcinogens over that of continuous low dosage tends to induce tolerance. The main hazards of mycotoxins appear related to the occasional exposure to very high levels as a result of unusual weather conditions.
