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.

MedViews: Epidemiological models are important tools for guiding COVID-19 interventions

Read another exciting MedView, written by an Early Career Researcher Dr. Robin N. Thompson, highlighting the importance of mathematic models for informing public health policies, especially now when the COVID-19 lockdown measures are being relaxed across the globe.

New Content Item (1)

Research: Serum free thiols and cardiovascular events

In a cohort study, the authors investigate the role of serum free thiols in the general population, finding they significantly predicted the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality, suggesting they could be targeted in therapeutic intervention.

Research: Minority ethnic groups in England may be at higher risk of COVID-19

Utilizing the UK Biobank data, this study shows that some minority ethnic groups, specifically Black and south Asian, have a higher risk of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, which could not be accounted for by differences in socioeconomic conditions and pre-existing health.

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.

Announcement: COVID-19 and impact on peer review

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
