Kompass Neumología is the latest journal from Karger Publishers that is tailored to the needs of clinicians from Latin America. It is therefore published in Spanish. The journal aims to close the existing knowledge gap between research and healthcare in this region.
Karger Publishers is launching Kompass Neumología, a journal which breaks down research into more accessible, practical content and presents those in the Spanish language. Research papers are usually written in English and often use a very scientific language which is not always relevant or directly applicable for healthcare professionals. They can, for this reason, sometimes be a bit overwhelming and the information provided difficult for local clinicians to use in their daily work. Kompass Neumología is part of the Karger’s Kompass product line.
The board of experts of Kompass Neumología has 17 experts in both pneumology and thorax surgery from Latin America. In this first issue, the experts investigate the origin of infections that lead to diseases like tuberculosis. They reflect and discuss the usefulness and applicability of different clinical and pharmaceutical approaches. Future issues will cover topics like degenerative chronic illnesses, cancer, associated sleep disorders, intensive respiratory care and rehabilitation.
The target group of Kompass are clinicians and medical specialists. The journals exist for the following subject areas: Dermatology, Pneumology (German and Spanish), Oncology, Ophthalmology and Autoimmun. They feature a special segment for young, committed physicians as well as clinical news from the subject area, and an event calendar. The format’s first issue was launched in March 2013. Its main objective is the knowledge transfer from research to practice, and the experienced advisory board places a special emphasis on the relevance of research findings for practical work with patients.
