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
A 60-year-old male presented with a 2-day history of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain 3 months after kidney transplantation. No clinical and x-ray signs of small obstruction were present. A CT scan of the abdomen showed incarcerated small bowel loop at the site of the earlier peritoneal dialysis catheter (Tenckhoff) that was removed 2 months before. The hernia was repaired by laparoscopic approach using a biologic mesh. Only a few cases of small bowel obstruction at the Tenckhoff catheter exit site have been reported in the literature but none, to our knowledge, has described a case of partial small obstruction (Richter's hernia). The presentation of Richter's hernia can be very deceiving, especially in transplanted patients because of the masking effects of immunosuppression on symptoms and signs of inflammation and difficult differential diagnosis in these patients.
