Journal Guide

Anthropology & Medicine is an interdisciplinary journal which expands upon the growing theory and research linking anthropology with medicine. It publishes original papers and reviews within the broad framework of medical anthropology, for a world-wide readership. Whilst biomedicine continues to grow in its technological sophistication and a proliferation of disease categories, anthropology has extended its boundaries to embrace newer frameworks. The globalisation and politics of biomedicine, narrative approaches to illness, new reproductive technologies, indigenous African and Asian medicines, local critiques of professional healing systems, modern and post-modern identities of individual states and their impact on sickness, together with developments that link ethology and population genetics to medicine are examples of topics addressed by the Journal. Anthropology & Medicine seeks to establish a critical platform for this diversity and promotes a cross-fertilisation of concepts at the borderland of culture and medicine. The journal solicits original contributions that advance the field. These could include bold innovations in methods or significant newer findings. Original and critical review commentaries are also welcome. The journal does not accept routine ethnographies and standard health services research unless authors can argue otherwise.

Anti-Cancer Agents in Medicinal Chemistry aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments in medicinal chemistry and rational drug design for the discovery of anti-cancer agents.

Anti-Cancer Drugs reports both clinical and experimental results related to anti-cancer drugs, and welcomes contributions on anti-cancer drug design, drug delivery, pharmacology, hormonal and biological modalities and chemotherapy evaluation. An internationally refereed journal devoted to the fast publication of innovative investigations on therapeutic agents against cancer, Anti-Cancer Drugs aims to stimulate and report research on both toxic and non-toxic anti-cancer agents. Consequently, the scope on the journal will cover both conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy and hormonal or biological response modalities such as interleukins and immunotherapy.

The aim of the International Institute of Anticancer Research (IIAR) is to provide an independent platform for international cooperation in the fight against cancer. The IIAR will advance, protect and support throughout the world the ideals of freedom, peace, health, scientific knowledge, equality, welfare and mutual respect among communities in science and life.This site provides information on the aims and activities of the IIAR, including current cancer research projects and invitations for cooperation.The IIAR is supported by the three international peer-reviewed journals ANTICANCER RESEARCH, IN VIVO and CANCER GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS which are also available online through the Stanford University HighWire Press.

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy® features interdisciplinary studies that build our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic applications of antimicrobial and antiparasitic agents and chemotherapy. The journal also publishes studies involving animal models, pharmacological characterization, and clinical trials.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control is a global forum for reports encompassing all aspects of resistance development and prevention of health-care associated infections in all health-care settings Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control aims to be a global forum for all those working on the prevention, diagnostic and treatment of health-care associated infections and antimicrobial resistance development in all health-care settings. Infection Control wishes to cover a broad spectrum of 'preeminent practices' and 'best available data' to the 'best interventional and translational research' and innovative (technical) developments in the field of infection control.Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control believes that a better understanding of the factors contributing to the development and spread of multi-drug resistance pathogens, possibilities to prevent transmission and infections and insight into the difference between developed countries and countries with limited resources are key-factors to find future solutions. Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control needs to combine best practices, experience and latest research results from around the globe to overcome the challenge posed by healthcare-associated infections. Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control welcomes all manuscripts related to the filed of HAI prevention and infection control. Some examples are listed below: Prevention of health-care associated infection in hospitals.Infection control and antimicrobial-resistance in high-risk settings (e.g. ICUs).HAI prevention and antimicrobial-resistance in special settings e.g. long-term care facilities.Infection control and antimicrobial-resistance in community settings.Special problems with Infection control and antimicrobial-resistance in resource-limited countries.

This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles, it is primarily interested in well-designed, methodologically sound research reports, theoretical papers, and interpretative literature reviews or meta-analyses.

Die zunehmende Alterung der Gesellschaft stellt die Medizin vor etliche Probleme. Eines davon ist die steigende Zahl an Patienten mit akutem Herzversagen sowie terminaler Herzinsuffizienz. Bei deren Therapie nimmt die mechanische Kreislaufunterstützung mittlerweile eine bedeutende Stellung ein. Doch trotz immenser Fortschritte ist die Implantation der Kunstherzsysteme noch immer mit erheblicher Morbidität und Letalität verbunden. So zeigen Krabatsch und Kollegen im ersten Topthemabeitrag die technischen Möglichkeiten aber auch die Grenzen der mechanischen Kreislaufunterstützung auf. Trotz kontinuierlich weiterentwickelter und verbesserter Geräte ist noch immer der rechtzeitige Implantationszeitpunkt entscheidend. Im zweiten Topthemabeitrag erläutert Steffen Rex Strategien zur Einschätzung des perioperativen Risikos sowie zur Prävention und Therapie typischer postoperativer Komplikationen. Dabei ist vor allem das Rechtsherzversagen zu nennen. Abschließend gibt Ares Menon einen Überblick zu aktuellen Erfolgen und Risiken der mechanischen Kreislaufunterstützung. Seite 412.
