| Abstract |
Significant exposure to elemental mercury can occur if a mercury-weighted medical device is damaged during use. We report a case of an elemental mercury spill into the peritoneum of a patient undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 February 2019.
All research outputs
#7,428,205
of 22,708,120 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Toxicology
#433
of 663 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,980
of 194,058 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Toxicology
#10
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,708,120 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 663 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.3. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 194,058 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
