Journal Guide

Aims and Scope: ALTEX, edited by the Swiss Society ALTEX Edition is the official journal of CAAT (Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA), EUSAAT (European Society for Alternatives to Animal testing) and T4 (transatlantic think tank of toxicology, Baltimore, Konstanz, Utrecht). ALTEX, issued by the Swiss society ALTEX Edition, is the official journal of ASCCT, the American Society for Cellular and Computational Toxicology, CAAT, the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing at the Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, USA, CAAT-Europe the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing Europe at the University of Konstanz, Germany, EUSAAT, the European Society for Alternatives to Animal Testing, t4, the transatlantic think tank of toxicology (Baltimore, Utrecht, Konstanz) and the Doerenkamp chairs in Germany, India, The Netherlands, Switzerland and USA. ALTEX publishes original articles, short communications, reviews, as well as news and comments, meeting reports and book reviews. ALTEX is devoted to the publication of research on the development and promotion of alternatives to animal experiments according to the 3R concept of Russell and Burch: Replace, Reduce, and Refine. Animal experiments are defined as all experimental procedures involving the use of animals in testing, research and education or to obtain tissues, organs, and other animal-derived products which may cause pain or distress to animals. ALTEX further publishes manuscripts on the bioethics of the complex relationship between humans and animals. Articles published in ALTEX must express a basic concern for the dignity of living creatures and the recognition of animals as our partners. All articles are judged according to stringent scientific standards. Manuscripts submitted to , ALTEX are evaluated by two reviewers. The evaluation takes into account the scientific merit of a manuscript and its contribution to animal welfare and the 3R principle. Please visit www.altex-edition.org for further information.

By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new digital academic era. .

The link beetween Research, Biology and Clinical practiceAnnales de Biologie Clinique reports on progress in knowledge, techniques and materials, but it is above all a pre-eminent space for providing information and exchanges of views beetween all clinical biologists.This new-look edition is closer to practicalities and is aimed at hospital and private biologists, researchers in biochemistry, bacteriology, hematology and virology, the pharmaceuticals industry, teachers and students.Annales de Biologie Clinique is the journal of the Société Française de Biologie Clinique.The online version of Annales de Biologie Clinique is available. All articles published since 1997 can now be accessed online. Recent articles are available by pay per view or by subscription while older ones have free access. .

One of the world's foremost in its field, Annals publishes fully refereed papers of international authorship that contribute to existing knowledge in all fields of clinical biochemistry, especially that pertaining to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human disease. It also publishes papers on immunology, genetics, biotechnology, haematology, computing and management where they have both biochemical and clinical relevance.

This journal provides complete coverage of the diagnostic and prognostic applications of immunohistochemistry (IHC), its contributions to the understanding of the biology of tumors and other lesions, and the technical aspects of setting up a laboratory and interpreting results. Each issue features original, peer-reviewed articles, discussions of difficult diagnostic cases, rapidly published notes on new or improved technologies, and a technical question-and-answer section. Comprehensive review articles discuss different classes of antibodies and markers and aspects of the basic science of IHC. Superb full-color illustrations are included in each issue.

Welcome to the website of the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine (APLM). APLM is the monthly, international, peer-reviewed journal of the College of American Pathologists. The results of the PERQ/HCI 2011 Custom Study show that APLM is the most highly read journal/periodical title among US practicing pathologists.Published since 1926, APLM was voted in 2009 the only pathology journal among the top 100 most influential journals of the past 100 years by the Bio Medical and Life Sciences Division of the Special Libraries Association. Online access to the full-text and PDF files of APLM articles is free.We appreciate your interest in APLM and welcome your input regarding the journal and website.

Bioanalysis delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for the modern bioanalyst. The content is uniquely targeted to those working on the analysis of drugs and metabolites in biological matrices. The articles have wide appeal to analytical chemists, mass spectroscopists, chromatographers, pharmacologists, clinical chemists, analytical toxicologists, and those involved with studies of drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, bioequivalence and metabolomics.

poisoning and infection control biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare. Biomedical scientists work in partnership with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to perform many different roles in NHS laboratories. Without biomedical scientists the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment, and research into the causes and cures of disease would not be possible.Doctors treat their patients based on results of the vital tests and investigations that diagnose often serious and life threatening illnesses such as cancer, AIDS or diabetes. Without biomedical scientists departments such as Accident & Emergency and operating theatres could not properly function. The many roles of support by biomedical scientists for A & E and theatre surgery includes tests for emergency blood transfusions and blood grouping as well as tests on samples from patients who have overdosed on unknown substances, or may have leukaemia or are suspected of having a heart attack.The work of a biomedical scientist must be accurate and efficient because patients' lives may depend on their skills. They are continually increasing their knowledge as laboratory techniques develop and research transforms the cutting edge of science and medicine. Scientists learn to work with computers, sophisticated automated equipment, microscopes and other hi-tech laboratory equipment. They employ a wide range of complex modern techniques to perform their.

The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal's scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered.
