Journal Guide

Nature Reviews' clinical content is written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline.In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals.Subjects covered * Acute coronary syndromes * Arrhythmias * Angina and coronary artery disease * Cardiomyopathy and heart failure * Concomitant disease * Congenital disease * Intervention (devices, reperfusion, revascularization, surgery and transplantation) * Disease markers * Genetics * Hypertension * Imaging and other investigations * Infection * Pathology * Public health * Stroke * Therapy (pharmacotherapy, dietary, exercise) * Thrombosis * Valvular disease * Vascular disease (including aneurysm, atherosclerosis, peripheral vessels, Raynaud).

The journal Neuroradiology publishes papers on neuroradiological diagnosis and treatment, the application of basic sciences to both, and the use of apparatus. Also presented is important information on normal neuroanatomy and those aspects of neurophysiology that affect radiology in its widest sense.The journal offers papers that give critical guidance on choosing techniques as well as those that describe new advances. CT is now of prime importance. Many older methods are still appropriate. Ultrasound, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are of growing significance.From time to time, the journal presents comprehensive review articles, invited or offered that are more purely didactic. Case reports describe examples of rarity or practical instructional content, as do single page case notes.
