Writing for publication--Part I: Getting started.

Anyone who has ever been published will tell you that writing is hard work, even for professional authors. Although most students are taught to write during basic educational preparation, writing for publication requires certain skills. This special four-part series focuses on the basis of writing and includes tips to make the process easier.

Rehabilitation for the head and neck cancer patient.

As the economics of health care increasingly dictate the parameters of patient care delivery, the role of rehabilitation has taken on new meaning with regard to positive patient outcomes. This is particularly true for the head and neck cancer patient coping with devastating physical and functional changes. With treatment advances leading to increased survival, health-care providers must therefore focus on restoring function and assisting the patient to achieve an acceptable quality of life. For the head and neck cancer patient with multiple rehabilitation needs, this can best be accomplished through a comprehensive, coordinated approach, utilizing interdisciplinary clinical and community resources aimed at facilitating the rehabilitation process and ultimately achieving individualized rehabilitation goals.

Neurophysiology and neuropharmacology of cardiovascular regulation and stress.

Evidence has accumulated over the past several years indicating that environmental factors can have a substantial influence on cardiovascular dynamics. It has been hypothesized by many investigators that through these influence environmental stressors may be important to the etiology and maintenance of cardiovascular diseases. Since the nervous system is intimately involved in the regulation of cardiovascular function it may be assumed that environmental influences on cardiovascular dynamics are to a large extent mediated by the nervous system. This assumption is supported by the literature reviewed which indicates that there are many nervous system nuclei and neurotransmitter systems involved in the regulation of cardiovascular dynamics which are also involved in an organisms adjustment to environmental stressors. The conclusion is reached that further multidisciplinary research will reveal underlying neurophysiological and neuropharmacological mechanisms responsible for stress induced cardiovascular disease and lead to new methods of treatment.
