Dear colleagues

The July 15 issue opens with a special edition of the Journal Scan, featuring abstracts of six papers published in the last few weeks in major journals by nine of our colleagues from three Kauvery Hospitals-Chennai, Trichy, and Kauvery. This is a most inspiring achievement.

I most sincerely hope that this shower would stimulate a downpour and then a flood from all Kauvery Hospitals! Let us drench the land!

Dr. Subbaiah, Hemo-oncologist, Trichy, presents his dream that came true- a hematopoietic stem cell transplant center, offering transplantation, first to patients with Multiple Myeloma.

Dr. Anantharaman, Consultant Cardiologist, Heart Transplant Program, Kauvery Chennai, takes us back to the heart transplant scene yet again, with Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) - A reversible Tacrolimus induced neurotoxicity in a heart transplant recipient.

Dr. Chockalingam, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon, Kauvery Trichy, gives us once more a model of a case report that is worth emulating-on Prophylactic orthopaedic surgery.
