World Journal of Surgical Oncology

Written by admin on Apr 17th, 2008 | Filed under: Oncology, Surgery

World Journal of Surgical Oncology is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal publishing articles related to surgical oncology and its allied subjects such as epidemiology, cancer research, biomarkers, prevention, pathology, radiology, cancer treatment, clinical trials, multimodality treatment and molecular biology. Emphasis is placed on original research articles and clinical case reports. The journal will also provide balanced, extensive and timely review articles on selected topics.

World Journal of Surgical Oncology considers research in surgical oncology and related fields. Oncology is a multidisciplinary super-speciality of which surgical oncology forms an integral component, especially when it comes to solid tumours. It is a fast growing speciality. Surgical oncologists around the world are involved in research extending from detecting the mechanisms underlying causation of cancer, to its treatment and prevention. The role of a surgical oncologist also extends across the whole continuum of care. With continued developments in diagnosis and treatment, the role of a surgical oncologist is ever-changing. Hence, the journal aims to keep the new generation surgical oncologist abreast with latest developments in their field and in related fields that will ultimately influence the work of surgical oncologists.

There are very few journals in the field of surgical oncology; these are available at a subscription that is beyond many, especially in developing and under developed countries. Moreover, there is no Open Access journal catering for surgical oncologists. As most of the journals are print journals with space constraints, there was a demand for a journal where one could publish without space constraints but with a wide readership. As the journal had global readership without any restriction it was aptly named as World Journal of Surgical Oncology with world-wide representation on the editorial board.

Patient Safety in Surgery

Written by admin on Mar 29th, 2008 | Filed under: Surgery

Patient Safety in Surgery is an open access, online journal that publishes papers on all issues related to safety and quality of patient care in surgery and surgical subspecialties.
Morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgical procedures may, in large part, be preventable. The key to improving the management of adverse events in surgery is understanding their causes. These range from “simple” individual errors in surgical technique and perioperative decision making to system errors in hospitals, and extend as far as to general healthcare issues in politics.
An evidence-based approach to quality improvement in surgical care must include the analysis of incidence and pattern of adverse events. This is particularly true for the analysis of procedures that did not result in an adverse event but had strong potential to, thus bearing the risk of these cases being neglected or trivialized, instead of being reported and reviewed as a “true” complication.
The journal provides a scientific platform for specialists from all surgical fields and for other healthcare professionals to report, discuss, debate, and critically review all aspects related to errors, complications, and other safety issues in the management of patients undergoing surgical procedures.

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research

Written by admin on Mar 20th, 2008 | Filed under: Orthopedics, Surgery

 

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will encompass all aspects of clinical and basic research studies related to musculoskeletal issues.
Orthopaedic research is conducted essentially at clinical and basic science levels. With the advancement of new technologies and the increasing expectation and demand from doctors and patients, we are witnessing an enormous growth in clinical orthopaedic research, particularly in the fields of traumatology, spinal surgery, joint replacement, sports medicine, musculoskeletal tumour management, hand microsurgery, foot and ankle surgery, paediatric orthopaedic, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. The involvement of basic science ranges from molecular, cellular, structural and functional perspectives to tissue engineering, gait analysis, automation and robotic surgery. Implant and biomaterial designs are new disciplines that will complement clinical applications. Multidisciplinary research with collaboration amongst clinicians and scientists from different disciplines will be the trend in the coming decades. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research will provide the platform for exchange of new clinical and scientific information in the most precise and expeditious way to achieve timely dissemination of information and cross-fertilization of ideas.
