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
Cannabinoid use is associated with an increased risk of numerous acute diseases. The most significant acute mental disorders due to cannabinoid use are intoxications. These can present themselves as delirium or acute psychosis. Cannabinoid use increases the risk of suicidal tendencies and self-injury, particularly in adolescents. Occasionally, cannabinoid withdrawal may require acute treatment. Chronic cannabinoid use may result in cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome that is characterised by episodic, stereotypical, acute nausea and vomiting accompanied by abdominal pain. Cannabinoid use has possibly proconvulsant effects. Chronic cannabinoid use may result in numerous pathological respiratory changes that differ from those related to tobacco smoking. The risk of sudden cardiac death and cardio- and neurovascular diseases as myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, atrial and ventricular fibrillation, peripheral arterial occlusive disease and stroke is increased in cannabinoid use. In addition, cannabinoid use is associated with sudden death and suicides. Compared with products from cannabis sativa, toxicity and risk of the abovementioned diseases are generally higher in synthetic cannabinoids. Cannabinoid use should be considered in the care of the abovementioned diseases.
