How to get your paper published in a scientific journal

In general, when you write a paper to submit to scientific journals there is high competition from other authors and research groups. It can be a challenge to get your work published, especially in your early career. It is important that you can create interest of your research results by capturing editors and reviewer's interest. It can be stressful getting a paper published in a scientific journal.

>> Here are some tips so you hopefully don't get stressed during the preparation of your manuscript, submission and reviewers' comments!

Noninvasive diagnostic imaging of pelvic venous disorders

Szkodziak F, Wozniak S, Szkodziak PR et al.

It is estimated that chronic pelvic pain (CPP) may affect up to 24 % of women. Unfortunately, very often, despite extensive diagnostics, the cause of CPP remains unknown. The pathophysiology of CPP could be explained to a large extent by the occurrence of pelvic venous disorders (PVD). Although pelvic venography is still considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of PVD, noninvasive diagnostic imaging techniques seem to be instrumental in the initial identification of patients with PVD. This literature review aimed to analyze and evaluate the usefulness of noninvasive diagnostic imaging techniques like transvaginal ultrasonography, transabdominal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance, and computed tomography in the diagnosis and identification of patients with PVD.

 

3D ultrasound evaluation of fetal ears in prenatal syndrome diagnosis – a comparative study

Roosen AM, Oelmeier K, Möllers M, et al.

The aim of the study was to assess fetal ears on prenatal 3 D ultrasound and compare ear surface patterns and measurements between fetuses with syndromes and healthy fetuses. Our study is based on 3D ultrasound images of 100 fetuses between the 20th and 37th week of gestation. We compared 50 ears of fetuses with syndromes (syndrome group) to 50 gestational age-matched ears of healthy fetuses (control group). The syndrome group consisted of fetuses with Trisomy 21 (n = 13), Trisomy 18 (n = 9) and other syndromes (n = 28). The evaluation was based on measuring the ear length and width as well as developing categories to describe and compare different ear surface anomalies.

Ultrasound Changes in Salivary Glands after Radioactive Iodine Treatment in Benign Diseases and Differentiated Cancer of Thyroid Glands in Consideration of Dose and Time Dependency

Koch M, Fauck V, Sievert M et al.

To assess ultrasound (US) features observed in salivary glands after radioactive iodine treatment (RAIT) in relation to the dose and time interval after RAIT. A retrospective analysis of US findings regarding the salivary glands of patients presenting after RAIT due to thyroid cancer (Group 1, n = 99) or benign thyroid diseases (Group 2, n = 25). The control group consisted of randomly selected patients (no RAIT, Group 3, n = 100). Groups were compared regarding RAIT dose, symptoms, and US findings (duct dilation, hypoechoic/heterogeneous parenchyma, parenchymal loss). The association of the presence of US parameters after RAIT with various dose levels (2000 – 15000 MBq) and time intervals (24, 60, 120 months) and the differences between the groups was evaluated.
