A case report--a brief written note that describes unique aspects of a clinical case--provides a significant function in medicine given its rapid, succinct, and educational contributions to scientific literature and clinical practice. Despite the growth of, and emphasis on, randomized clinical trials and evidenced-based medicine, case reports continue to provide novel and exceptional knowledge in medical education. The journal BMC Research Notes introduces a new "case reports" section to provide the busy clinician with a forum in which to document any authentic clinical case that provide educational value to current clinical practice. The aim is for this article type to be reviewed, wherever possible, by specialized Associate Editors for the journal, in order to provide rapid but thorough decision making. New ideas often garnered by and documented in case reports will support the advancement of medical science--one research note at a time.
病例报告——一份描述临床病例独特之处的简短书面记录——因其对科学文献和临床实践的快速、简洁且具有教育意义的贡献,在医学领域发挥着重要作用。尽管随机临床试验和循证医学不断发展并受到重视,但病例报告在医学教育中仍能提供新颖且独特的知识。《BMC研究笔记》杂志新设了一个“病例报告”板块,为忙碌的临床医生提供一个平台,用以记录任何对当前临床实践具有教育价值的真实临床病例。目的是让这种文章类型尽可能由该杂志的专业副编辑进行评审,以便做出快速而全面的决策。病例报告中常常收集并记录的新观点将推动医学科学的进步——一次一篇研究笔记。
