Practice Points and Napoleon Bonaparte
The Nature Clinical Practice journals are now publishing their “Practice Point” articles in NPG’s advance online publication (AOP) programme. Practice Points put original research articles into context and offer expert opinion on best practice for clinical researchers and clinicians. They are available in each of the eight journals in the Nature Clinical Practice series. With the addition of this AOP feature, the definitive versions of these articles will now be available online before the print issues of the journals appear.
More information about the Nature Clinical Practice journals is available here. You may have heard about a current article in NCP Gastroenterology and Hepatology on the death of Napoleon Bonaparte. It seems that rather than being poisoned, as is often suggested in history books, the emperor was suffering from gastric cancer. The article is currently free access, so read the fascinating, if gory, details at the link.
