About This Special Issue

The medical researches have a great revolution over the last decades. The development of hundreds of subspecialist and their underlying sub-subspecialties lead to uncountable articles in different fields of medicine. Regional variation of the authors has been neglected in this type of publications. The middle east is a unique area of this world. It has different pattern of illness, epidemiology, and presentation of different disease. The social background of middle east made the approach to the illness and research is different among the researchers in the medical field. The presentation of medical researches of different medical specialties including general Medicine, gastroenterology, hepatology, and diabetes will help to focus on the medical problems in our middle eastern and Arabic communities. It will also include researches from liver transplantation field too. It is highly specialized field need to be in separate entity, though the ethical and regional background of our communities made it different from the same specialties in western countries.

1. Evaluate the ability of different researches from different subspecialties to reflect the disease pattern difference in Middle East.
2. Present the different medical capacity of this medical group to share same scope towards their communities.
3. It will highlight the areas of strength, weakness in our researches, and its reflection to the community demands.
