Abstract

The editorial presents the second issue of this journal with an appreciation towards the positive feedback received for the first issue, especially from His Excellency the Governor-General and the president of the Malta Medical Students Association. The editor of the "Bulletin of Hygiene" and of the "Tropical Diseases Bulletin", Dr. Burke-Gaffney expressed his approval by reprinting summaries of some of the papers in his Bulletin. Within this issue original works involving clinical and statistical research are presented, emphasizing the usefulness of research, besides the efficiency of the physician`s day to day work. An important section within this issue refers to a scientific publications list by graduates of the Maltese medical and dental schools since 1961. Of remarkable importance is the medical news section providing information regarding the academic achievements of lecturers and physicians. Additionally, the section “Where are they now?” provides updates regarding Maltese medical physicians working abroad. An Index containing an alphabetical list of the authors and the titles of the articles is also included. Interesting to note some advertisements promoting the names of certain pharmaceuticals at that time.
