Call for papers/Topics

Topics of interest for submission include any topics on:

These topics provide the fundamental "building blocks" for both medicine and nursing.

Molecular & Cell Biology: Signal transduction, organelle function, and cellular metabolism.
Genetics & Genomics: Heredity, DNA sequencing, and the study of the human genome.
Microbiology: Bacteriology, virology (emerging viral threats), and mycology.
Human Anatomy & Physiology: Gross anatomy, histology, and systemic mechanics (e.g., cardiovascular, neuro, endocrine).
Medical Biochemistry: Metabolic pathways, enzymology, and hormonal regulation.
Immunology: Innate and adaptive immunity, and the biology of the immune response.

Traditional "Doctor-led" fields that focus on the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Internal Medicine: Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, and Pulmonology.
Surgical Sciences: Perioperative care, minimally invasive surgery, and transplant medicine.
Pediatrics & Neonatology: Childhood development, congenital disorders, and neonatal intensive care.
Obstetrics & Gynecology (OB/GYN): Maternal-fetal medicine and reproductive health.
Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences: Neurobiology of mental disorders and psychopharmacology.
Oncology: Cancer biology, chemotherapy, and radiation physics.
Emergency & Trauma Medicine: Advanced life support and disaster triage.

The "Art and Science" of patient care, focusing on human response to health and illness.

Nursing Fundamentals: The Nursing Process (Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation).
Nursing Theories: Frameworks for care (e.g., Orem’s Self-Care, Watson’s Caring, Nightingale’s Environmental Theory).
Community & Public Health Nursing: Epidemiology for nurses, health promotion, and rural health outreach.
Nursing Leadership & Management: Ward management, healthcare economics, and staffing logistics.
Specialized Nursing: Gerontological nursing, pediatric nursing, and critical care nursing.
Nursing Informatics: Managing electronic health records (EHR) and digital patient data.

These topics represent where the three pillars overlap significantly.

Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics: * Bio: Drug-receptor interactions.
- Med: Prescribing protocols.
- Nursing: Safe administration and monitoring of side effects.
Pathophysiology: The biological study of how disease alters physiological processes (critical for both diagnosing doctors and monitoring nurses).
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP): Integrating biological research and clinical trials into bedside nursing and medical protocols.
Precision & Personalized Medicine: Using a patient’s genetic profile (Bio) to select medical treatments (Med) which require specialized genomic nursing care.
Bioethics & Medical Jurisprudence: Informed consent, end-of-life care, and the ethics of gene editing.
One Health: The intersection of human health, animal health, and environmental biology.
Palliative & End-of-Life Care: Medical symptom management combined with holistic nursing support.

Digital Health & AI: Algorithmic diagnostics, remote patient monitoring, and AI-assisted nursing.
Microbiome Research: The role of gut bacteria in systemic disease and immunity.
Regenerative Medicine: Stem cell therapy and tissue engineering.
Health Literacy & Communication: Translating complex biological data into patient-friendly education.
Global Health Security: Pandemic preparedness and infectious disease surveillance.
