Introduction. The Rome Foundation and Rome III.
نویسنده
چکیده
It is a great pleasure to introduce the commentaries by Drs Kellow and Quigley on the pros and cons of the new Rome III criteria.

In this introduction, I will briefly discuss who we are, and offer the rationale and value of its activities and some future challenges.
