Publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW) has announced the publication of Collections of The American Journal of the Medical Sciences (AJMS). The publication – comprising new collections of grand rounds and case report focused reviews - is targeted at physicians seeking a source of clinical knowledge in cardiology and other areas of patient care. Published by LWW, AJMS is the official journal of the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation (SSCI).
AJMS subscribers and SSCI members can access the special topic collections by clicking on the ‘Collections’ tab on the journal website at http://www.amjmedsci.com. The collections seek to provide a convenient and valuable resource for knowledge of key clinical topics.
The six collections currently hosted on the AJMS website are seen to offer a wealth of clinical information, drawing on the experience of current and past AJMS editors and contributors. The collections include Cardiology Grand Rounds from the University of Texas Medical Branch and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, contributed by past editor Dr. George A. Stouffer.
Another highlight is a collection of Case Report Focused Reviews — an ongoing series by Dr. Fred A. Lopez of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. The reviews update the traditional case report format by presenting individual patient cases as the platform for a detailed, focused review of a clinical topic.
Other collections currently available on the AJMS website include Case Records of the VA Maryland Healthcare System, contributed by Dr. Philip A. Mackowiak of University of Maryland Medicine; and papers from the annual Southwestern Internal Medicine Conferences, contributed by Dr. Biff F. Palmer of University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center; and a series of trainee research reports.
Future collections will include Grand Rounds contributions from current Guest Editors Dr. Daniel J. Lenihan of Vanderbilt University and Dr. Stamatios Lerakis of Emory University — both protégés of Dr. Stouffer.
