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.

King George's Medical University Researcher Provides New Study Findings on Neurocysticercosis (Disseminated neurocysticercosis in a vegetarian: An intriguing case report)
2024 JAN 12 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily -- Data detailed on neurocysticercosis have been presented. According to
Article Description
Disseminated neurocysticercosis (NCC), caused by Taenia solium, is a significant public health concern in developing regions and responsible for epilepsy in majority of the cases. This case report presents an intriguing instance of disseminated NCC in a 35-year-old vegetarian male from an urban area in western Uttar Pradesh. The conventional mode of infection is through undercooked pork, raising questions about alternative transmission routes for vegetarians. Possible routes of infection for the patient include contaminated food or water, unhygienic practices, cross-contamination, exposure to infected individuals or animals, and changing dietary habits. This case highlights the importance of considering atypical transmission routes for NCC, even in regions where pork consumption is uncommon. Public health efforts must emphasize proper food hygiene and sanitation to reduce NCC transmission risk, and further research is needed to understand factors contributing to NCC in non-endemic and vegetarian populations.
