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
Absorbable gelatin sponge, commonly used in otosurgery, was mixed with high-molecular-weight, highly concentrated hyaluronic acid. The mixture was introduced into the middle ear cavities of rats. The postoperative changes were evaluated by morphologic techniques after two months and three months. The middle ear cavity contained a loose mass of connective tissue with few cells, forming sail-like bridles between air-filled spaces. The filling material was easily detached from the surroundings. The structure of the middle ear mucosa and the tympanic membrane was well preserved. Compared with the findings in a previous study, in which absorbable gelatin sponge alone was used, the combination of gelatin sponge and hyaluronic acid caused significantly less structural alterations in the middle ear cavity. It is concluded that hyaluronic acid, a natural component in most tissues, markedly reduces the formation of the fibrous connective tissue known to develop in middle ear cavities filled with absorbable gelatin sponge alone.
