Cohen, Kassirer, and Harrington who suggested that a new feature should be included in each monthly issue of the journal. They suggested that it should employ a case discussion format such as that used frequently at specialty rounds in teaching hospitals, and that the discussion should place a special emphasis on the relationship between basic science and important problems in clinical nephrology. The summary of an actual patient history would first be presented to exemplify a particular clinical problem, a seasoned person of proven expertise would be invited to deliver a well-documented analysis of the relevant issues, and perhaps most ambitiously of all, a critical audience would be assembled to challenge the principal discussant in an open- ended, question-and-answer period. The entire affair would be recorded at the time of the live conference and transcribed subse- quently in preparation for publication as a \"Nephrology Forum. \" I must confess that I was somewhat hesitant at first to endorse their proposal because, at the time, Kidney International had just begun to establish a solid reputation for the publication of high quality, peer- reviewed manuscripts dealing with the clinical and laboratory research interests of the international nephrological community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45283510714519,"sku":"9780387907642","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780387907642.webp?v=1769305183","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nephrology-forum-9780387907642","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
