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
People with alcohol dependence sometimes develop cognitive brain changes or dementia that limit the usefulness of benzodiazepines in detoxification. Memantine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor channel blocker, is postulated to reverse the upregulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor functions associated with prolonged heavy use of alcohol and has been shown to reduce alcohol craving. We report the case of a 65-year-old man with alcohol dependence, cognitive impairment, and persistent craving for alcohol after detoxification in whom craving and cognitive impairment were significantly improved on treatment with memantine.
