Abstract

From the Editor’s Desk...

Salaam Alaikum,

It’s a pleasure to address you all through this issue of MJHS, I am very happy to pen few words for this issue. It is rightly said by Benjamin Franklin as “either write something worth reading or do something worth writing”. There are different rules for reading, for thinking and for talking. Writing blends all three of them.

At the outset let me thank the Rector, Dr. Khalid bin Saad Al Meqrin and the Vice Rector for Graduate Studies and Scientific Research Prof. Dr. Mohammad Bin Abdullah Al-Shaaya’a for entrusting me with this responsibility of developing and bringing out the prestigious journal of our university, which I hope is fulfilled with all the coordinated efforts from the editorial team. I am pleased to receive many scientific articles from authors belonging to various universities inside and outside the kingdom for our journal that is good news from the point of journal’s progression in the right direction. Reading and writing are life skills that everyone should have the opportunity to learn and MJHS is one such platform for academicians inside and outside kingdom.

The editorial team strongly believes that this issue of MJHS will be a useful reference study material for undergraduate and postgraduate student community of medicine and health sciences. The clinical research, case series and case reports stimulate the students to pursue research projects. This reminds me the famous quote “One who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all” – Sir William Osler.

Good news is that our journal is one step away from getting indexed in popular academic search engines like Copernicus. I hope in near future our journal will achieve the landmark of being indexed in Pubmed. I like to extend my whole hearted thanks to the members of the editorial team for their untiring efforts in bringing this issue in proper form and on time. Also like to thank the reviewer’s for their time bound completion of task. As the chief of editorial team I thank all the authors for submitting their original work to our journal.

Editor-in-Chief, MJHS

Professor. Dr. Mohammed HS Al-Turaiki
