Focus on “Inborn Errors of Metabolism” edited by Dr. Shibani Kanungo and Dr. Dilip R. Patel

Annals of Translation Medicine (ATM) focused issue: inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) is a one stop resource for all levels of learners from undergraduates interested in science to multiple subspecialties in the field of medicine, genetics and public health.

Reading Companion: Blooming Flowers -A call for paper

Parent's Comments: Huilongwo was built in the Qing Dynasty. It is now a historic and cultural district in Xuzhou, in the center of the city. The old building in the painting is a corner of Huilongwo. Generally, children’s life experience lacks deeper nuances to understand the historical implications of architecture, in this painting, you can still see traces of tranquillity and vicissitudes. The usage of colors in this gives the old building vitality.

Focus on “Novel Aspects in Ventilator-associated Pneumonia” edited by Dr. Saad Nseir and Dr. Ignacio Martin-Loeches

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) remains an important clinical problem, being associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this special issue of Annals of Translational Medicine, novel aspects regarding definition, diagnosis, epidemiology, and treatment of VAP are discussed by experts in this field.

Focus on “Respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated patients: from physiology to clinical practice at the bedside” edited by Prof. Paolo Pelosi and Dr. Lorenzo Ball

In recent years, the role of protective mechanical ventilation has gained increasing importance in the clinical management of not only patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, but also in those patients requiring respiratory support for non-pulmonary reasons or during general anesthesia.

Focus on “Cardiopulmonary Interactions” edited by Dr. Antoine Vieillard-Baron

This new issue of Annals of Translational Medicine is dedicated to the discussion of issues concerning the heart-lung interactions in critically-ill patients. This is indeed a key subject for several reasons: (I) many patients in the ICU are submitted to positive pressure ventilation; (II) the possible application of heart-lung interactions to bedside old but still very actual physiology makes for exciting study; (III) development of critical care echocardiography allows physicians to easily and accurately evaluate heart-lung interactions in the ICU;

Focus on “Rare and orphan disorders: an emerging challenge?” edited by Prof. Giuseppe Lippi and Dr. Elisa Danese

Rare (often called “orphan”) diseases are conventionally defined as those affecting a very low number of individuals, but which can be associated with inappropriate management, chronic debilitation and adverse health outcome, up to death. This problematic definition is, quite understandably, a major drawback that many scientists, clinicians and laboratory professionals recognize while facing very uncommon pathologies.

Focus on “New Image Diagnostic and Therapeutic Modalities in Thoracic Surgery” edited by Dr. Jin-Shing Chen, Dr. Mong-Wei Lin and Dr. Ke-Cheng Chen

Recently, there have been increasingly more advancements in new image diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for use in the diagnosis and management of thoracic diseases. The use of low-dose computed tomography screening is increasing, thus resulting in an increase in the detection rate of early lung cancers.

Introduction of ATM “Corresponding Authors” Column

Annals of Translational Medicine (ATM) editorial office has launched a column called "Corresponding Authors" to highlight their works published in AMT in order to express our gratitude for their continuous support to our journal.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Medicine: Evolving with the Times

The Annals of Translational Medicine (ATM) is putting up a call for new research and innovative ideas on the study of AI in medicine. Regarded as one of the hottest topics that the ATM is placing a huge focus on, all authors and articles are provided a spotlight to showcase their knowledge and studies with other experts. Interested authors may join the editorial board in leading special issues focusing on medical AI, or submit articles that demonstrate novelty in method and theory related to AI and computer science techniques. Any suggestions or ideas of medical AI topics that may spark debate and discussion are also welcome.

Rare diseases: exploration never ceases

Despite occurrence over a small percentage of the population, rare diseases are often chronic and life-threatening. Around five new rare diseases are described in medical literature every week. Attention to the special challenges faced by these patients has been sought internationally by an annual Rare Disease Day on the last day of each February.

In view of the elevating awareness and concern over the management of these diseases, Annals of Translational Medicine now opens new grounds for the studies of rare diseases. Any articles that encourage new understanding, solid theory, debate, controversy and reflection on any kind of rare diseases are welcome.

Testimonials for ATM from Eminent Experts Worldwide

ATM has received over 35 supporting letters from prominent experts worldwide, who are editorial board members, guest editors, authors and readers knowing ATM well. We are sincerely grateful for their approval and vigorous support to the journal. The editorial office will keep moving on to build ATM a robust academic platform in near future. Below abstracts some parts from their supporting letters.
