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.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
Peperomia pellucida (ulasiman-bato and pansit-pansitan in Tagalog) was tested in vivo in rabbit models for its antimicrobial activity. Skin abscesses were induced in 14 live rabbits by inoculating intradermally with 24 hour old cultures of Staphylococcus aureus. Warm poultice of the stems, leaves and roots of the medicinal plant was prepared and applied over the abscesses. Rates of healing as indicated by diameter of involved area and amount of pus were compared with those of mupirocin (a commercially available topical anti-staphylococcal drug) and control (no treatment). Results showed that indeed pansit-pansitan had significant antimicrobial properties as shown by its ability to treat staphylococcal skin infections such as abscesses and boils.
