JOURNAL OF FELINE MEDICINE AND SURGERY
Scope & Guideline
Championing the health of felines through open access knowledge.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Feline Health and Disease Management:
The journal emphasizes research on various feline diseases, including infectious diseases, chronic conditions like diabetes and renal disease, and cancer. It addresses both clinical management and underlying pathophysiology. - Surgical Techniques and Innovations:
A significant focus on surgical practices in feline medicine, including novel surgical techniques, postoperative care, and outcomes, is evident in the journal's publications. - Behavioral and Welfare Studies:
Research on feline behavior, welfare, and quality of life is a core area, exploring the interactions between cats and their environments, caregivers, and veterinary practices. - Diagnostics and Veterinary Technology:
The journal showcases advancements in diagnostic techniques, including imaging and laboratory diagnostics, as well as the use of technology in veterinary practices. - Pharmacology and Therapeutics:
There is a strong emphasis on pharmacological studies, examining the efficacy and safety of medications and treatment protocols specific to feline patients.
Trending and Emerging
- Telemedicine and Remote Care:
Recent studies exploring the attitudes and effectiveness of veterinary telemedicine suggest a growing trend towards remote care options, driven by advances in technology and the needs highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. - Precision Medicine and Genetic Research:
There is an increasing focus on precision medicine, including genetic studies that aim to understand individual health risks and treatment responses in cats, reflecting broader trends in veterinary and human medicine. - Chronic Disease Management:
A notable trend is the emphasis on managing chronic conditions, such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes, with studies focusing on long-term treatment strategies and lifestyle modifications for better outcomes. - Integrative and Holistic Approaches:
Emerging interest in integrative medicine that combines conventional treatments with alternative therapies is becoming more prominent, reflecting a holistic approach to feline health. - Innovative Pain Management Techniques:
The exploration of new analgesic protocols and pain management strategies highlights an evolving understanding of feline pain and the importance of effective management in clinical practice.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Breeding and Reproductive Studies:
Research related to traditional breeding practices and reproductive health appears to be waning, possibly due to a growing focus on genetic health and welfare rather than conventional breeding methods. - Historical Disease Studies:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focusing on historical perspectives of feline diseases, as newer data and evolving practices take precedence over historical analyses. - Niche Surgical Procedures:
Surgical studies that focus on less common or niche procedures are becoming less prevalent, perhaps in favor of more broadly applicable techniques and technologies that offer wider relevance. - Owner-Centric Studies:
Research directly focusing on pet owner behaviors and perceptions, while still relevant, has seen less emphasis compared to clinical and technical studies, indicating a shifting priority in feline veterinary research.
