STM Publishing and the Peer-Reviewing Process

Peer review is a process vital to scholarly research publication. Research work is appraised by peers or contemporaries to the author of the work. In this way, the quality of published academic literature is maintained for the scientific community.

In this regard, the quality of medical and scientific research publication is of much greater concern and necessitates a stringent peer-review process. There are many noteworthy names in the industry of scientific journal publication, for instance, Elsevier, Bentham Science Publishers, Wiley and Taylor Francis.

Bentham Science Publishers follows the single-blind peer-review procedure which does not only guarantee an impartial evaluation of the merits of a manuscript, but also ensures maximum quality standards and valuable contribution to research. They have qualified, experienced reviewers and editorial staff who follow rigorous peer-reviewing. Usually, an article is checked for the merit of the research, plagiarism, ethical review and approval of experimental investigation and re-publication. The process is rapid and professional, as disclosed by an author of a Bentham Science journal, Recent Patents on Inflammation & Allergy Drug Discovery:

“I would like to thank Bentham Science for considering my paper for publication. With regards to my publication related matters, I found it quite easy in dealing with the editorial office and also the publication process. The quality of service provided by the editorial office was excellent. The article review process was fast and the final decision was taken without delays. I really appreciate the excellent quality of the service provided with regards to my publication. I would definitely consider Bentham Science Publishers for my future publications as well.”

Diabetes

Diabetes is a set of metabolic diseases which are distinguished by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. It is caused by the deficiency of insulin secretion or its action. It is also known as Diabetes Mellitus.

Normally, blood glucose levels are strongly controlled by insulin. It is a hormone secreted by the pancreas. When the blood glucose level rises, insulin is discharged from the pancreas in order to balance the glucose level. The absence or inadequate production of insulin causes hyperglycaemia inside diabetic patients.

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition even though it can be controlled or can last for lifetime.

Some of the major symptoms of diabetes include increased blood glucose levels, dehydration, weight loss, blurred vision, fatigue, nausea and loss of glucose in urine.

Diabetes can be diagnosed by performing fasting blood glucose (sugar) test. The test is convenient and simple to execute. After the overnight fasting of the patient (at least 8 hours), a single blood sample is taken and sent to the laboratory for diagnosis. Alternatively, it can be accurately measured inside a doctor’s clinic with the help of a glucose meter.

Amazing Scientific Inventions and Discoveries

There are various amazing scientific inventions and discoveries. In the field of synthetic biology, Scientists have found a new way to treat diseases. An Escherichia coli cell has been discovered by the scientists, which upon interaction with certain pathogens naturally explodes, killing both itself and the pathogens.

Scientists have found a better way to fight with dengue fever as well as malaria. They have done so by hereditarily modifying mosquitoes which live longer and are naturally opposed to malaria. They help in stopping the spread of malaria and in eliminating it.

Scientists have been trying their level best to modify plants so that they can hunt for bombs. Dr. Jane Medford is doing a research on plants which will turn white while exposed to explosives as well as environmental pollutants.

Synthetic Telepathy is another amazing discovery. The military has been developing a scientific device which can read electrical movements inside a human`s brain. It makes sense of all the ideas and forwards them to fellow soldiers in the form of text messages or voice mail.

Scientists have discovered an amazing way to help people in regenerating the lost parts of the body. They have accomplished it by using ECM (Extracellular Matrix) with the combination of physical therapy. ECM has the power to reawaken the body`s natural therapeutic capabilities.
