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.

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.

Cellular & Molecular Immunology is a bimonthly journal from the Chinese Society of Immunology and the University of Science and Technology of China. Covering both basic immunology research and clinical applications, Cellular & Molecular Immunology provides the latest information and advancements in our understanding of the immunological response of the host, both in vitro and in vivo.The journal publishes Research Articles, Reviews, Minireviews and Brief Reports in all areas of cellular and molecular immunology, including but not limited to: * clinical immunology * comparative immunology * immunobiology * immunogenetics * immunological techniques * immunopathology * immunopharmacology * infection immunology * neuroimmunology * transplantation immunology * tumor immunology * veterinary immunologyAs China's first English-language immunology journal, Cellular & Molecular Immunology is designed to serve both the Chinese and international communities as a vehicle to rapidly disseminate the latest studies in this field. The journal welcomes submissions that explore novel ideas or un- or contra-orthodox approaches, as long as they are underpinned by conventional scientific practice and present falsifiable hypotheses that are tested with empirical methods and evidence.Manuscripts must provide evidence that can be critically evaluated, and where applicable: * define disorders and clinical symptoms by standard clinical terms (e.g. allergy, asthma, lupus, etc.) * deem results 'significant' only using standard statistical methods in biological effects/outcomes studies * use consistent and defined amounts and mixtures of herbal formulas, or use purified monomer extracts.Terms that may be ambiguous to the broad audience of the journal should be clearly defined within the manuscript.
