Newly column: “Case Reports in Hybrid Operating Theatre”

I am delighted to have the opportunity to head the featured column of Hybrid Operating Theatre in Management of Thoracic Diseases in AME Case Reports (ACR). Hybrid operating theatre with advance imaging capabilities is a relative novelty in thoracic surgery.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to contribute towards this endeavor.

I was very proud to receive the invitation to join the Editorial Board of AME Case Reports (ACR) to head the Section “Case Reports in Urology”. The significance of case reports tends to be misunderstood by journal editors and academics because of their poor quality and because they “negatively affect the impact factor” of the journal!
