SKIP Open Access Special Issue: Paediatric and Neonatal Pain Journal

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/26373807/2020/2/3

From Solutions for Kids in Pain: (SKIP): “We are excited to announce the release of an open-access special issue of Paediatric & Neonatal Pain, published in partnership with SKIP! This is the first of a two-part special issue focused on knowledge mobilization.

This edition features four articles that highlight how evidence about effective neonatal pain management can be mobilized via interprofessional interventions and social media. All four papers share a focus on moving knowledge about newborn pain treatment into practice, with the aim of improving outcomes for newborn infants and their families. Click below to access this issue’s four articles, and join the authors in their exploration of diverse and innovative research methods and interventions conducted in Switzerland, Brazil, and Canada.

Part two of this special issue will be released in December 2020, and will focus on knowledge mobilization in the context of pain in children and adolescents. Stay tuned!”

Call For Papers: Pediatric Cancer special issue of the journal ‘Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies’

Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies is inviting submissions of research papers to be considered for a special issue co-edited by Drs. Elaine Mardis and Andrew Kung, on the topic of pediatric cancers, which is planned for publication in August 2019.

Existing genomic data demonstrates that at least half of the drivers of childhood cancers are unique to pediatric patients. There are thus increasing efforts to perform more comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic analyses of pediatric cancer patients, especially in rare tumor types or in relapsed/refractory patients who have failed the standard of care. These data are being applied to refine patient diagnosis, to identify prognostic markers, and to aid treatment decision-making. The forthcoming special issue of Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies will focus on this area of clinical translation, and we are encouraging submissions of research papers describing oncogenomic profiling of pediatric patients. These papers should include clinical presentation, disease-pertinent findings, treatment history and outcomes (where appropriate). We also welcome reports of pilot studies describing new clinical protocols in precision pediatric oncogenomics, or non-sequencing based technologies to more comprehensively characterize pediatric cancers, bodily fluids, or the tumor microenvironment. Suggested areas for submission include manuscripts describing genomic identification and functionalization of novel variants leading to cancer onset or progression, exceptional responders, novel treatments based on genomic profiling results and their outcome, immunogenomic applications in cancer patient care or patient monitoring, integrative analytical approaches to identify cancer vulnerabilities, and combinations of therapies indicated by genomics and other diagnostic assays.

Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies is an open-access, peer-reviewed, international journal in the field of precision medicine. Articles in the journal present genomic and molecular analyses of individuals or cohorts alongside their clinical presentations and phenotypic information. The journal’s purpose is to rapidly share insights into disease development and treatment gained by application of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, biomarker analysis, and other approaches. It has a rapid peer-review process that is based on technical evaluation of the analyses performed, not the novelty of findings, and offers a swift, clear path to publication. We expect to coordinate the publication of these papers with commissioned front matter in the pediatric oncogenomics special issue. Accepted manuscripts will be published as Advance Online Articles in Molecular Case Studies prior to the Special Issue print publication. If you would like your work to be considered, please submit your manuscript online on or before June 15, 2019 at submit.molecularcasestudies.org.
