BMC Medicine

New Content Item

Call for papers: Global Outbreaks and Responses

We are pleased to announce an upcoming collection on disease outbreaks. We are seeking submissions on all aspects of outbreak preparedness and response, covering a wide range of infectious diseases including Ebola, Dengue, H1N1, and the most recent Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).

New Content Item

Research: CRP as a potential biomarker for disease progression in dengue

This large multinational case-control study shows that C-reactive protein (CRP), measured in the first 3 days of illness, could not only be used as a useful biomarker for early dengue risk prediction, but may also assist in differentiating dengue from other febrile illnesses.

New Content Item

Research: Randomized trial to reduce c-section rates

A randomized trial including 20 hospitals in Shanghai aimed to evaluate whether a multifaceted intervention could decrease c-section (CS) rate in China, concluding targeted prenatal health education and improved hospital policies did not reduce the CS rate in the city.

Research: Brain structure interlaid with transcriptional data might shed light on AD

Diffusion MRI and transcriptome data identified brain regions synchronized at the molecular level (structural connectome), which suggest that glutamate and toll receptor signaling play pivotal roles in brain region intercommunication and may provide insights towards Alzheimer’s Disease etiology.

Aims and scope

BMC Medicine is the flagship medical journal of the BMC series. An open access, open peer-reviewed general medical journal, BMC Medicine publishes outstanding and influential research in all areas of clinical practice, translational medicine, medical and health advances, public health, global health, policy, and general topics of interest to the biomedical and sociomedical professional communities. We also publish stimulating debates and reviews as well as unique forum articles and concise tutorials.
