Acta Oto-Laryngologica Case Reports is a new and independent peer reviewed open access journal, derived from Acta Oto-Laryngologica. The new journal will serve as an international forum for case reports from all fields of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and Head & Neck Surgery. Acta Oto-Laryngologica Case Reports will include case reports reflecting remarkable experiences with one or more patients with unexpected symptoms or clinical course. The objective of the case reports is to shed light on unconventional clinical situations that could benefit future patients. The journal has short publication times in order to bring this to the scientific community without delay.

Acta Oto-Laryngologica is a truly international journal for translational otolaryngology and head & neck surgery. The journal presents cutting-edge papers on clinical practice, clinical research and basic sciences and also bridges the gap between clinical and basic research.Features include: * Inner and Middle Ear * Otoneurology * Audiology * Central Labyrinthine Pathways * Nose/Sinus * Mouth/Pharynx * Larynx * Salivary Glands * Oncology * Facial Nerve The international board represents 30 countries and plays an important interactive role to maintain and increase the standards of the journal. Acta Oto-Laryngologica is published on a non-profit basis.

Acute Cardiac Care, formerly International Journal of Cardiovascular Interventions (Print ISSN: 1462-8848, Electronic ISSN: 1471-1796) and now endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Acute Cardiac Care, will combine forces to deal with the rapidly developing concepts in management of acute cardiac patients.

Since being founded in 1993, Addiction Research and Theory has been the leading outlet for research and theoretical contributions that view addictive behaviour as arising from psychological processes within the individual and the social context in which the behaviour takes place as much as from the biological effects of the psychoactive substance or activity involved.This cross-disciplinary journal examines addictive behaviours from a variety of perspectives and methods of inquiry. Disciplines represented in the journal include Anthropology, Economics, Epidemiology, Medicine, Sociology, Psychology and History, but high quality contributions from other relevant areas will also be considered. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of addiction, placing particular value on contributions that explore creatively new avenues of inquiry. Submissions to Addiction Research and Theory are peer reviewed and published if they are both good of their kind and are within the journal’s focus. Articles include theoretical, philosophical and political essays, research papers, state-of-the-science reviews, and descriptions of how to apply research on addictive behaviours to evidence-based clinical practice.Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/page/art/Description.
