Formerly Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology Pathogens and Global Health Visit the journal homepage for instructions for authors, to subscribe online, to download a library recommendation form, and more... Sign up for Table of Contents alerts (get an email every time a new issue is published) Why the change of title for 2012? Pathogens and Global Health Formerly known as Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology The new title reflects a broader focus that embraces the biology, immunology, genetics, treatment and control of pathogens of great medical relevance beyond a regional definition. Several infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, AIDS, diarrhoea, influenza, dengue and pneumonia represent worldwide health problems that require global solutions. Furthermore, in recent years tropical regions have become progressively less homogenous as a consequence of the economic development and the implementation of disease control measures.

Formerly Annals of Tropical Paediatrics: International Child Health Paediatrics and International Child Health Visit the journal homepage for instructions for authors, to subscribe online, to download a library recommendation form, and more... Sign up for Table of Contents alerts (get an email every time a new issue is published) Why the change of title for 2012? Paediatrics and International Child Health Formerly known as Annals of Tropical Paediatrics: International Child Health This journal publishes papers relevant to developing countries, and the word ‘tropical’ is no longer considered appropriate for those countries which do not have a tropical climate, and therefore do not have tropical diseases in the strictest sense. The new title embraces the key subjects on which we publish: ‘paediatrics’, which encompasses clinical and laboratory aspects, and ‘international child health’ which covers the wide spectrum of subjects in community child health.

Big hopes for the children of the world: a review of the Millennium Development Goals Liz Keating, Megan Chock, Phil Fischer Video: A review of the MDGs with Phil Fischer, Liz Keating and Megan Chock. Double-click to enlarge. The Millennium Development Goals are a set of eight goals drafted by the United Nations in 2000 with the aim of improving the health and welfare of people worldwide. The goals provide specific targets to be met by 2015, using the 1990 basis as a standard. This review presents these goals as they relate to children, discussing progress and future aims. Although not all eight goals specifically address children, each has its own impact on global child health. Thus far, much progress has been made, but increased rates of improvement must be achieved in order to meet the goals by 2015 and improve the health of children worldwide.

Randomised trials in child health in developing countries Trevor Duke After experiencing first-hand the difficulties of accessing up-to-date and relevant health information in the poorest and most remote parts of the world, Trevor Duke started an annual project to summarise all the research that comes from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in child health in developing countries. Since 2002, he has compiled a booklet each year, of which there are now 9 issues. Read about why Trevor began this project, his summary of what the latest RCTs show, and access his booklet and official peer-reveiwed paper free online.
