"Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is at present a well-known Indian originated scientific journal which started with a humble beginning. I have been associated with this journal since many years. I appreciate the Editor, Dr. Hemant Jain, for his constant effort in bringing up this journal to the present status right from the scratch. The journal is multidisciplinary. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career. At the same time the journal also caters for the high quality articles from specialty and super-specialty researchers. Hence it provides a platform for the scientist and researchers to publish. The other aspect of it is, the readers get the information regarding the most recent developments in science which can be used for teaching, research, treating patients and to some extent take preventive measures against certain diseases. The journal is contributing immensely to the society at national and international level."

" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal."

Dr. Mamta Gupta,
"It gives me great pleasure to be associated with JCDR, since last 2-3 years. Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer.
It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.
The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles.
Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it.
An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help one’s reviewing skills.
My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR".

"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words.
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.


Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journals–No manuscripts–No authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal.
Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards.
Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.
Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.
In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them.
It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal.
Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR."

Dr. Shankar P.R.

"On looking back through my Gmail archives after being requested by the journal to write a short editorial about my experiences of publishing with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), I came across an e-mail from Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March 2007, which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal.
Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement.
My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did!
Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review.
Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors.
Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts was not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed.
Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work."

Abstract

Introduction: Variations in the venous drainage pattern of the face and neck are quite common. The objective of this study was to observe the variations in the formation and the drainage of the common facial vein.
Methods: The variations of the superficial veins of the neck were noted in thirty five specimens (17 belonging to the left side and 18 to the right) of the South Indian population which were used for routine dissection, for teaching the medical graduates in Christian Medical College, Vellore.
Results: This is a a report on the unusual drainage of the common facial veins into the subclavian and the absent external jugular veins bilaterally. Another interesting variant is the undivided retromandibular vein continuing as the external jugular vein and the anterior facial vein opening into the internal jugular vein. In three cases, the common facial veins were found to open into the external jugular vein at varying distances from the base of the mandible. The embryological basis for the variations is discussed here.
Conclusion: The knowledge of the varying venous patterns in the neck is important for clinical practitioners who perform procedures like cannulation and venegraft harvesting in endarterectomy.

Keywords

Introduction
The veins of the head and neck have a complex developmental pattern which predisposes them to variations in formation and drainage. Usually, the anterior facial vein begins at the medial angle of the eye as the angular vein, by the union of the supra-trochlear and the supra-orbital veins. The superficial temporal vein unites with the maxillary vein to form the retromandibular vein. The retromandibular vein divides into the anterior and the posterior divisions within the substance of the parotid gland. The anterior division joins with the anterior facial vein to form the common facial vein and it drains into the internal jugular vein. The posterior division, after union with the posterior auricular vein, continues as the external jugular vein which drains into the subclavian vein (1).
The superficial veins of the neck are often used for cannulation, either for intravenous infusion or for central venous pressure monitoring. Furthermore, these venous segments are used as a patch for carotid endarterectomies. Hence, a thorough knowledge of the normal anatomy and their variations could be useful in performing these procedures.
Variations in the drainage pattern of the veins of the neck and face have been reported earlier (2). The present study was aimed to look at the formation and the drainage of the common facial vein in specimens of the South Indian population. We are reporting here, the rare occurrence of the common facial vein draining into the subclavian vein bilaterally, in addition to other anomalies.

Material and Methods

A total of thirty five specimens of both sexes, seventeen of the left side and eighteen of the right side, were dissected to look for the variations in the formation and the termination of the common facial vein on the cadavers that were donated to the department of Anatomy of our institution for the purpose of teaching and research. Of the 35, 14 specimens were from seven individuals, and the rest were isolated prosected specimens.

Results

Of the thirty five specimens that were studied, 29 of the common facial veins were found to confirm to the normal pattern of formation and drainage. Six specimens showed variations in their terminations.
The rare bilateral drainage of the common facial vein into the subclavian vein and the bilateral absence of the external jugular vein
In one cadaver, there was no division of the retromandibular veins into the anterior and posterior veins on both sides. The common trunk of the retromandibular veins joined with the anterior facial veins to form the common facial veins. The external jugular veins were absent bilaterally. On the right side, the common facial vein passed deep to both the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the superior belly of the omohyoid, reached the anteroinferior angle of the posterior triangle of the neck and drained into the right subclavian vein (Table/Fig 1). On the left side, the common facial vein passed under the cover of the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid, but superficial to the omohyoid muscle. When it reached the medial end of the clavicle, it ran towards left, to open into the left subclavian vein, at its union with the internal jugular vein. The terminal parts of both the common facial veins were found to be abnormally dilated (Table/Fig 2).
The variant formation of the common facial vein
In another specimen, the undivided retromandibular vein continued as the external jugular vein on the right side. The anterior facial vein, after receiving the submental vein, formed the common facial vein and drained into the internal jugular vein (Table/Fig 3).
In three specimens, the common facial vein opened into the external jugular vein. In one prosected specimen, on the right side, the common facial vein ran separately for almost the whole length of the neck and opened into the external jugular vein, approximately 3 cms superior to the clavicle (Table/Fig 4). In two other cadavers, the left common facial vein drained into the external jugular vein, while the right vein drained into the internal jugular vein.

Discussion

The first identifiable vein of the face and neck is the ventral pharyngeal vein (VPV). It drains the mandibular and the hyoid arches and opens into the common cardinal vein. As the neck elongates (10 mm embryo stage), the termination of VPV is transferred to the cranial part of the precardinal vein which later becomes the internal jugular vein. The ventral pharyngeal vein receives the linguofacial vein, which drains the face and tongue. The primitive maxillary vein which drains the territory of the ophthalmic and the mandibular divisions of the trigeminal nerve anastomoses with the linguofacial vein to form the anterior facial vein. The retromandibular vein draining the temporal region, opens into the linguofacial vein to form a common trunk known as the common facial vein, which ultimately drains into the internal jugular vein. In the upper limb, the preaxial vein becomes the cephalic vein. The external jugular vein develops as a tributary of the cephalic vein from the tissues of the neck and anastomoses secondarily with the anterior facial vein. The cephalic vein forms a venous ring around the clavicle, from which it is connected to the caudal part of the precardinal vein. The deep segment of this venous ring forms the subclavian vein and receives the definitive external jugular vein (1). In the normal course of development, the external jugular vein has an anterior connection with the facial vein and a posterior connection with the retromandibular vein (Table/Fig 5). The anomalous patterns could be explained by the regression and / or retention of the venous anastomotic channels. In the first case, the cranial part of the external jugular vein fails to develop. The common facial vein, instead of draining into the precardinal vein, anastomoses with the caudal part of the external jugular vein. This explains the reason as to why the common facial vein drains into the subclavian vein (Table/Fig 6). A unilateral termination of the common facial vein into the subclavian vein on the left side has been reported earlier (3). The variation in the formation of the common facial vein in the second case is due to the absent communication between the retromandibular vein and the linguofacial vein (Table/Fig 7).The drainage of the common facial vein into the external jugular vein could be explained by the persistent anastomotic channel between the primitive linguofacial vein and the secondarily developing external jugular vein (Table/Fig 8) (4).The facial vein drains into the external jugular vein with varying degrees of obliquity in a Y- shaped, U- shaped, tuning-fork shaped, N-shaped, inverted A-shaped or a stepladder-shaped pattern (2). Variations in the patterns of termination of the facial vein into the external jugular vein with a higher preponderance on the right side have been reported (5). In the present study, the opening of the common facial vein into the external jugular vein at a higher level on the left side, approximately 4 cms below the base of mandible, was observed in two cases, with a third opening on the right side and at a much lower level (Table/Fig 4).
The superficial veins, especially the external jugular ones, are often utilized for cannulation to conduct diagnostic procedures or intravenous therapies. The ease of access of the external jugular vein has facilitated its use in patients undergoing transjugular liver biopsy and portosystemic shunts. It has also been used to monitor central venous pressure (6). The absence of the external jugular vein should be borne in mind while attempting surgical procedures.
The common facial vein has been used as a patch material for carotid angioplasty, as it is almost always available at the carotid exposure site. It can be harvested by the same incision by a simple technique and at no extra operating time (7), (8). The common facial vein has also been used in ventriculojugular shunts for the management of hydrocephalus 9 and for placing the central venous catheter for hyper alimentation and venous pressure monitoring (10). Variations of the common facial vein, which have been noted in this study, could be of assistance to vascular surgeons and also to radiologists.
The knowledge of the variations of the superficial veins of the neck is essential for avoiding undue bleeding during neck surgeries and also the effective utilization of these veins for grafting in endarterectomies.

Key Message

: Variations in the formation and termination of the common facial veins are common. A thorough understanding and knowledge of the variations are essential in order to avoid complications during clinical procedures.
