MD Conference Express ATS 2013 - (Page 4)

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the American Thoracic Society (ATS), we are pleased to present the official peer-reviewed highlights from the ATS 2013 International Conference, held in May in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While some research presented at the live conference was simultaneously published in the academic literature, many studies may not get published for some time. To help bridge the gap between live presentation and publication, we have partnered with MD Conference Express© to provide information for practitioners seeking to learn how the data presented at the conference may impact their practices. The application of a rigorous review process ensures the accuracy of these conference highlights and provides a reliable interim information source prior to the research being vetted by the standard journal peer-review process. We are happy to be able to provide our readers with a high-quality summary of the main findings from this year’s meeting. The topics selected for this special edition, which include articles in the area of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine, were determined in direct consultation with the scientific leadership of the ATS. All articles were written strictly from primary source data (no press releases, no third-party opinion). The faculty who presented these data live were invited to review and comment on the resulting articles. Finally, an independent board of world experts carefully peer-reviewed the content to ensure accuracy and a balanced perspective. We hope you enjoy this special edition of MD Conference Express and find it to be useful to your practice. We welcome your comments and hope you will plan to join us live in San Diego, California, for the ATS 2014 International Conference. You can learn more at http://conference.thoracic.org.
