Journal Guide

The Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual is a companion to Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. Together with the Seminars, the Annual provides complete coverage of the specialty by focusing on important developments in pediatric cardiac surgery. The editor of each annual volume invites prominent congenital surgeons to review the latest literature and expertly detail the greatest changes taking place in pediatric cardiac surgery.2012 Topics:The Aortic Valve•Aortic Valve Insufficiency: Leaflet Reconstruction Techniques•Aortic Valve Reconstruction in Young Infants and Children •Valve-Sparing Aortic Root ReplacementThe Pulmonary Valve•Valve-Sparing Options in Tetralogy of Fallot Surgery•Timing and Techniques for Pulmonary Valve Replacement in the Patient With Tetralogy of Fallot•Options for Prosthetic Pulmonary Valve Replacement The Tricuspid Valve•Ebstein's Anaomaly of the Tricuspid Valve: The Cone Repair•Surgical Management of Congenital (Non-Ebstein) Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation•Tricuspid Valve Repair in Single Ventricle: Timing and TechniquesThe Mitral valve•Congenital Mitral Stenosis: Anatomic Variants and Surgical Reconstruction•Mitral Regurgitation in Congenital Heart Defects: Surgical Techniques for Reconstruction•The Rheumatic Mitral Valve and Repair Techniques in Children•Atrioventricular Valve Repair for Patient with Heterotaxy Syndrome and a Functional Single Ventricle

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis is a topic driven review journal that focuses on all issues relating to hemostatic and thrombotic disorders. It offers an informed perspective on today's pivotal issues, including hemophilia A & B, thrombophilia, gene therapy, venous and arterial thrombosis, von Willebrand disease, vascular disorders and thromboembolic diseases. Attention is also given to the latest developments in pharmaceutical drugs along with treatment and current management techniques.

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI is directed to all physicians involved in the performance and interpretation of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging procedures. It is a timely source for the publication of new concepts and research findings directly applicable to day-to-day clinical practice. The articles describe the performance of various procedures together with the authors' approach to problems of interpretation. Each issue is devoted to one topic and all papers are by invitation only.2012 Topics, Volume 32, Issues 1-6:FebruaryImaging in Pregnancy and the Postpartum StateAprilThyroid ParathyroidJuneImaging of the AortaAugustErrors and Malpractice in RadiologyOctoberENT Emergencies IIDecemberThe Pulmonary VasculatureBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Semiotica, the Journal of the International Association for Semiotic Studies, was founded in 1969 and appears in five volumes of four issues per year, in two languages (English and French), and occasionally in German.Semiotica features articles reporting results of research in all branches of semiotic studies, in-depth reviews of selected current literature in the field, and occasional guest editorials and reports. From time to time, Special Issues, devoted to topics of particular interest, are assembled by Guest Editors.The publishers of Semiotica offer an annual prize, the Mouton d'Or, to the author of the best article each year. The article is selected by an independent international jury.Semiotica is a peer-reviewed journal of international scope.
