Article collection: Cardiovascular Issues in Underrepresented Populations

We are pleased to announce our new 'Cardiovascular Issues in Underrepresented Populations' article collection. We are particularly interested in manuscripts reporting novel findings from currently underrepresented populations, with an emphasis on low- and middle-income countries. Relevant studies from high income countries, for instance focusing on ethnic differences and the elderly, may also be considered.

Opinion: Rapid publications risk the integrity of science in the era of COVID-19

Rapid publication of COVID-19 literature through expedited review is important for the medical scientific community, yet this amplifies the risks of unverified information. The authors discuss these issues and conclude that a collaborative approach is required to maintain a high standard of scientific communications.

Research: Cardiorespiratory fitness in children with cancer

In a national, non-randomized controlled trial, the authors measure cardiorespiratory fitness in children six months after cancer diagnosis, concluding supervised and peer-supported in-hospital physical activity is safe and feasible during cancer treatment.

Research: Biomarkers to predict mortality from sepsis in rural Thailand

The authors evaluated whether plasma biomarkers could predict 28-day mortality in infected patients. LASSO identified a three-biomarker model of sTREM-1, Ang-2, and IL-8, but inclusion of sTREM-1 in the model was essential in yielding the greatest mortality discrimination.

Aims and scope

BMC Medicine is the flagship medical journal of the BMC series.
