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.

Data on Asthma Discussed by Researchers at N.K.P. Salve Institute of Medical Sciences (Role of interleukin-4 receptor a polymorphism in patients with asthma and its correlation with asthma severity)

Article Description
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. It is defined by the history of respiratory symptoms such as wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough that vary over time and intensity, together with variable expiratory airflow limitation. A personal history or a family history of allergy is the factor most strongly associated with the development of asthma. Our primary aim was to investigate interleukin-4 receptor α (IL-4Rα) polymorphism to determine whether the presence of the R576 IL-4Rα allele was associated with asthma and whether the presence of the R576 allele influenced the severity of asthma in affected individuals. The data obtained indicated asthmatic patients were characterized by a higher prevalence of positive family history of asthma (p<0.001) as compared to controls. It was found that the patients homozygous for mutant alleles had a 1.39-fold increased risk of asthma compared with individuals not homozygous for R576. Also, we found that females had higher odds (1.61-fold) of significant association with asthma (p=0.09; odds ratio=1.58). While this report clearly necessitates a more detailed study, it is plausible that IL-4 mutation has a significant role in the development of asthma and, thus, can play an important role in developing targeted therapy.
