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
Calcium-binding protein (CaBP) (molecular weight, 10,000) was measured in small-intestinal biopsy specimens from 36 patients with malabsorption syndromes: short-bowel syndrome (n=13), untreated coeliac disease (n=4), coeliac disease in remission (n=7), patients with intestinal bypass owing to morbid obesity (n=5), and in patients with chronic diarrhoea of unknown cause (n=7). Twelve patients with no signs of malabsorption who had the irritable bowel syndrome were used as controls. Patients with small-bowel resections showed reduced concentrations of CaBP (p < 0.01) and low intestinal calcium absorption (p < 0.05). Small amounts of CaBP were found in intestinal specimens from patients with coeliac disease in remission (p < 0.01), and CaBP was almost undetectable in patients with a newly diagnosed coeliac disease and avillous jejunal biopsy findings (p < 0.001). Patients with chronic diarrhoea and patients with an intestinal bypass had CaBP concentrations comparable to those of the control group. A direct correlation was found between CaBP and the fractional calcium absorption in all patients (p < 0.05). CaBP may therefore be considered an indicator of the efficiency of the small intestine to absorb calcium. © 1988 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
