I was a peer-reviewer for the manuscript “Mechanisms of Disease: roles of nitric oxide and endothelin-1 in delayed cerebral vasospasm produced by aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage” by Agustinus Suhardja, published in the December 2004 issue.1 At the time of peer review, there were two authors on the paper, Robert Furchgott (a Nobel prize winner) as senior author and Dr Suhardja. In my comments I mentioned to the Editor that Furchgott's name added to the basic value of an otherwise quite mediocre manuscript. I also added “because of the anticipated increased interest among scientists in the field of vascular research that this paper could evoke, I strongly believe that this review should provide not only accurate up-to-date information but also avoid omissions and misleading statements, and should clarify the reasons why past efforts did not succeed.” I suggested the possibility of an Editorial to accompany the paper addressing my concerns, but the journal currently has no capacity for such articles. I also offered my help to make the paper suitable for publication, suggesting that, if the authors decided to incorporate all or most of my proposed changes, I would be happy and honored to work with them to do so. The journal's in-house Editor duly passed this information on to Dr Suhardja.
