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
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare fibrosing disorder described among patients with renal disease. Currently, no standard therapy exists, although therapeutic modalities have included plasmapheresis, extracorporeal photopheresis, sodium thiosulphate, imatinib and renal transplantation. We describe a patient with NSF who was physically debilitated and underwent renal transplantation. After transplantation, the patient's lesions improved clinically, and the patient was ambulatory. Despite developing worsening renal function, her lesions remained unchanged. We conclude that renal transplantation improves symptoms of NSF, and believe that in patients with NSF, careful consideration should be made for early renal transplantation. © The Author 2011.
