Harikrishnan S. From the Editor's desk. PVRI Review 2011;3:65 |
In my previous Editorial, I mentioned how the role of PVRI Review has been redefined within the spectrum of PVRI Publications. I am pleased to say that the last issue of PVRI Review, which introduced the new content type, was generally well received by its intended audience, as the general feedback indicated. However, I must announce that with PVRI Review's new role, my role within the Journal will also change. As of 2012, I will step down as Editor-in-Chief of PVRI Review, although I will continue to assist my successor for the year.
Change is constant, and the source of life. In that view, PVRI Review wholeheartedly embraces the future both in content and management. In practice, this means that PVRI Review will pursue a more interactive Editorial Board, which will elect an Editor-in-Chief from among its rank see the box in page 111.
My resignation will be formally announced at the 6 th PVRI Annual General Meeting in Cape Town, February 2012. Senior Editor Ghazwan Butrous will temporarily take over the role until a successor is appointed. I look forward to meeting interested candidates in Cape Town and seeing PVRI Review surge into the future with a new management model, new content, and new faces.
One new face that is officially presented in our Journal today is that of Dr. Simon Campbell. Dr. Campbell has recently joined the PVRI Board of Directors. An introduction can be found on page 78, and I would like to hereby welcome him to the Institute.
This current issue contains a reflection on the year that has been, in the form of the PVRI Annual Report. The report is a collective effort of PVRI Taskforces, meetings organizers and attendees, collaborators and researchers, and PVRI management alike, and details all the activities of the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute over 2011. The current report includes detailed reports on the Panama City conference, the 2011 Leh Symposium, the joint PVRI/SAPH meeting and much more, as well as updates from the PVRI Webinars, Publications, Administrative Office, and all the Taskforces and Regions. It is heartening to read the accomplishments of the Institute over the past year, and its clear goals for the future.
This issue also contains an interview with the PVRI Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Taskforce, which made waves at last year's AGM with the presentation of a new classification of Pulmonary Hypertension in Pediatric population. In PVRI Review they answer questions posed by PVRI Managing Director Ghazwan Butrous with regard to the changes that have been brought on since the presentation, and the ways in which they expect to adapt and improve the classification and its impact on the diagnosis and treatment of PPH.
'Commentary' is provided by Eduardo Oliver1, PhD, who reviews recent Spanish language publication Hipertensión pulmonar en niños, a product of Drs. Gabriel Diaz (FPVRI), Julio Sandoval (FPVRI), and Augusto Sola.
This PVRI Review issue also contains the Table of Contents of the Cape Town abstracts, which will be presented at the PVRI AGM in February. For more information on the Cape Town Agenda, please see page 67; all necessary details with regard to the Gala Dinner are given there. Finally, an erratum has been included for an error in "Impaired oxidative metabolism and enhanced glycolysis in right ventricular hypertrophy: The Warburg effect," which was published in PVRI Review 2009, vol. 1, issue 3.
As we step forward, I am confident that PVRI Review will continue to grow and improve. Our quality content is only made possible through the efforts of the many Fellows and members of the PVRI, and although there may be changes within the publication, I do not doubt that its heart, which comprises all the people within the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute, will continue its enthusiasm, dedication, and hard work. I feel privileged to have served as Editor-in-Chief of this flagship Journal. Dear reader, I thank you.
