Why should medical editors CARE about case reports?

"Always pay attention and record abnormal ... please post it." (1) - When William Osler considers the development of medical publications, people regret it under the conditions of re-enactment You may think about thinking about it. In other words, individual occurrence summarizes phylogeny, likewise at least the evolution of medical publication in that form, and the stage of scientific production in the clinician's career are presumed to follow similar advances in evolutionary stage It might be. In other words, modern "evidence-based" clinicians climbed a steep "evidence level" pyramid through his publications, re-summarized the growth of the pyramid itself, and in his first clinical stage a case report I am writing.

Most clinical journals publish case reports describing how patients are doing medical care, how the disease is progressing and the treatment given. A case report that publishes this information for many patients is called a case series. The main purpose of case reporting is to introduce clinical features, investigations, and / or treatments of patients with abnormal problems to clinicians. Case reports are often used as refresh training for clinicians to make it easier to diagnose and treat disease conditions more effectively. When reporting to the clinician's findings, case reporting may also produce hypotheses that lead to new research. The subject of the case report is usually column 7.6.

Case reports are still very popular in the medical field, as a publication for communication in that field, and as a publication for educational purposes. Briefly, case reports describe the medical problems experienced by one or more patients and are usually difficult to interpret or classify based on existing understanding of the disease or an understanding of physiology and pathology Diseases or analogs. Presentation medical cases use highly standardized expressions penetrating medical professionals during education and many of them comment on their highly standardized narrative structure and its cognitive and other influences (Hunter 1991; Hurwitz 2006). Cases often focus on practice-based observation and clinical care (rather than randomized controlled trials and other experimental methods) and often provide detailed information on disease performance, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome
