We are excited to announce a special opportunity for researchers in celebration of our seven-year collaboration with the International Microsurgery Club. The International Microsurgery Journal (IMJ) is pleased to offer a full waiver of the USD 790 article processing charge (APC) for original research articles submitted from now until the end of August. This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting the scientific community by ensuring that groundbreaking research in the field of microsurgery is accessible and widely disseminated. By publishing with IMJ, authors benefit from a rigorous peer-review process, rapid publication timeline, and extensive visibility. Importantly, authors retain full copyright ownership of their work, allowing for complete control over its use and distribution. Researchers are encouraged to take advantage of this exclusive offer by submitting their manuscripts via our submission portal by August 31. For submission details and inquiries, please visit our submission portal at IMJ Submission Portal or contact us at contact@scitemed.com. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and continuing to advance the field of microsurgery together. Warm regards, The IMJ Team

As we approach the seven-year milestone of our alliance with the International Microsurgery Club, we are delighted to extend a gesture of appreciation by offering a waiver of the usual publication fee of USD 790 for submissions of all article types to the International Microsurgery Journal. This waiver is a testament to our sustained partnership and our commitment to advancing the field of microsurgery. Kindly be aware that this special promotion will end on November 30, 2023. We encourage our respected contributors to seize this exclusive offer.

Our Editor-in-Chief Dr. Holger Sudhoff and Deputy Editor Dr. Chin-Lung Kuo of AOHNS were recognized in the list of the World's Top 2% Scientists published by the prestigious Stanford University. The SciTeMed Publishing group would like to congratulate Dr. Holger Sudhoff and Dr. Chin-Lung Kuo for this honor that has brought great pride to our publisher.

To celebrate nearly 5 years of partnership with International Microsurgery Club, we are waiving the publication fee (USD 790) for any submission of original article or review article to International Microsurgery Journal. This offer ends on Oct. 31, 2021. Join us today!

There have been several developments in the management of epistaxis. In this article, the author has reviewed the literature on epistaxis, its anatomy, etiology, and the current developments in its treatment. The stepwise treatment algorithms and flow diagram provided in the article will guide the clinicians to produce better results in epistaxis management.

Tracheomalacia is a rare congenital abnormality of the tracheobronchial cartilage causing the collapse of the airway and obstruction of expiratory flow. It is very difficult to manage infants with severe tracheomalacia. Severe cases lead to worse respiratory conditions and may become life-threatening, and necessitate immediate surgical treatment. Takeshi Yano of the University of Miyazaki, Japan has published an article in the Annals of Case Reports and Images Journal, in which a method to manage severe tracheomalacia patients using muscle relaxant has been discussed.

The study by Dr. Chin-Lung Kuo provided strong evidence, which was unrecognized earlier, to establish the potential link between cholesteatoma and depression. It is necessary to conduct routine psychiatric screening and monitoring of cholesteatoma patients for detection and treatment at the beginning stage itself. Despite the accuracy and acceptability of this population-based study, more prospective studies need to be carried out for additional confirmation.

The Institute of Safe Medication Practices has listed Oxytocin and Magnesium sulfate as high-alert medications causing significant harm to patients when used in error. Since these medications are frequently used in Labor & Delivery (L&D) units, safe administration to prevent medication errors is necessary for these units. As a part of the Safety Program for Perinatal Care (SPPC) of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), several L&D units opted for implementing safety science principles for the safe administration of oxytocin and magnesium sulfate. The research team led by Kayla B Gray has published a qualitative research article in the Research on Women’s Health Journal, which describes the experiences of 25 L&D units, which have opted to implement the safety science principles for the safe administration of these medications.

Oropharyngeal hemorrhage is a serious complication of oropharyngeal tumor that occurs instantly without any warning and may result in airway obstruction and respiratory distress. The bleeding, if not controlled effectively, can be life-threatening. The management of such cases without prior experience can make the situation too complex. Considering the critical nature of such bleeding, a simulation scenario was created where the junior Otolaryngology residents (interns) could learn to manage the patients with oropharyngeal hemorrhage safely and properly interact with the fellow healthcare providers. This simulation scenario was designed and developed by a team of senior medical professionals from New York, led by Joshua Feintuch. A detailed article of the simulation program is published in the Archives of Otorhinolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Journal.

It is our pleasure to invite Dr. Chin-Lung Kuo to be Deputy Editor in Archives of Otorhinolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery!
