Call for papers/Topics

All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields:

1. Foundational Biological and Medical Sciences

These topics provide the scientific understanding of the human body in health and disease. They are independent disciplines but are completely interrelated because you cannot understand abnormal function without understanding normal structure.

• Anatomy and Physiology

  • Gross anatomy and microanatomy (histology)

  • Organ systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, immune, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, integumentary, urinary, and reproductive)

  • Homeostatic regulation and feedback loops

• Pathophysiology

  • Cellular injury, inflammation, and healing

  • Genetic and hereditary disorders

  • Etiology and pathogenesis of systemic diseases (e.g., neoplasia, atherosclerosis, diabetes)

• Pharmacology and Toxicology

  • Pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion)

  • Pharmacodynamics (drug-receptor interactions, mechanism of action)

  • Therapeutic drug classes, adverse effects, and drug-drug interactions

  • Toxicology and antidote mechanisms

• Microbiology and Immunology

  • Bacteriology, virology, mycology, and parasitology

  • Innate and adaptive immunity

  • Autoimmunity, hypersensitivity reactions, and immunodeficiencies

• Biochemistry and Genetics

  • Metabolic pathways (carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism)

  • Molecular biology and gene expression

  • Genomics, pharmacogenomics, and genetic counseling

2. Clinical Medical Specialties

These independent branches focus on specific patient populations, organ systems, or types of medical interventions. They interrelate heavily through co-morbidities (e.g., a cardiology patient requiring surgery or psychiatric support).

• Internal Medicine and Subspecialties

  • Cardiology, Pulmonology, and Gastroenterology

  • Endocrinology, Nephrology, and Rheumatology

  • Hematology and Oncology

  • Infectious Diseases

• Surgery and Perioperative Care

  • General surgery and surgical subspecialties (orthopedics, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic)

  • Anesthesiology and pain management

  • Wound care and post-operative recovery

• Pediatrics and Neonatology

  • Growth and developmental milestones

  • Childhood illnesses and congenital disorders

  • Neonatal intensive care (NICU)

• Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN)

  • Antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care

  • Reproductive endocrinology and infertility

  • Gynecological oncology and disorders

• Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

  • Neurobiology of mental illness

  • Mood, anxiety, psychotic, and personality disorders

  • Substance use disorders and addiction medicine

• Emergency Medicine and Critical Care

  • Trauma resuscitation and advanced life support (ACLS/PALS)

  • Triage systems and disaster medicine

  • Intensive care medicine (shock, multi-organ failure)

3. Professional Nursing Specialties

Nursing science focuses on holistic patient care, human responses to illness, and the execution of medical regimens. It interrelates directly with medical specialties but operates under its own distinct professional framework.

• Medical-Surgical Nursing

  • Adult health alterations and acute care management

  • Pre- and post-operative nursing interventions

  • Chronic disease management

• Critical Care and Emergency Nursing

  • Hemodynamic monitoring and mechanical ventilation care

  • Rapid response systems and crisis management

  • Trauma nursing

• Maternal-Newborn and Pediatric Nursing

  • Family-centered care and labor/delivery nursing

  • Pediatric medication administration and therapeutic play

  • Well-child assessments

• Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing

  • Therapeutic communication techniques

  • De-escalation strategies and milieu therapy

  • Psychopharmacologic nursing care

• Gerontological Nursing

  • Atypical presentation of illness in older adults

  • Polypharmacy management

  • Cognitive impairment (dementia, delirium) and palliative care

• Community and Public Health Nursing

  • Epidemiological principles in nursing

  • Home health and hospice care

  • Occupational health and school nursing

4. Advanced Interrelated Concepts 

These topics belong exclusively to neither just medicine nor just nursing; they are the shared domains that allow both fields to function cohesively.

• Clinical Assessment and Diagnostics

  • Physical examination techniques (inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation)

  • Laboratory diagnostics (complete blood counts, metabolic panels, biomarkers)

  • Diagnostic imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound)

• Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) and Research

  • Quantitative and qualitative research methodologies

  • Biostatistics and clinical epidemiology

  • Translational research (moving science from bench to bedside)

• Healthcare Ethics and Law

  • Bioethical principles (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice)

  • Informed consent and advance directives

  • Malpractice, negligence, and scope of practice regulation

• Healthcare Informatics and Technology

  • Electronic Health Records (EHR) data management

  • Telehealth and remote patient monitoring

  • Clinical decision support systems

• Quality Improvement and Patient Safety

  • Root cause analysis and sentinel event reporting

  • Infection control and hospital-acquired infection (HAI) prevention

  • Interprofessional communication protocols (e.g., SBAR)

• Global Health and Social Determinants of Health

  • Health disparities, cultural competence, and humility

  • Health literacy and patient education

  • Health policy, insurance economics, and resource allocation
