Improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning without continual growth and progress. I write this editorial to welcome authors, reviewers, and readers to the third edition of the HSI Journal Volume 2Issue 1in 2021. It is my pleasure to announce that all 3 issues of the HSI Journal were published online on time and the print issues were also brought out and dispatched within a month of publishing the issue online. Towards this edition, the HSI Journal received several manuscripts-some were rejected in the preliminary screening and others after peer review process. A total of 43 research scientists from different juridictions reviewed the manuscripts submitted to this edition. Some of the accepted articles are presented in this issue. Altogether, there are 6 original research articles, 4 case reports, and a commentary. The average publication lag time for publication of an article was 2-3 months. The topics covered are broad but interesting and scientifically relevant. The HSI Journal is an Open Access publication with no article processing charges, and all published articles are accessible for greater dissemination. The Journal subscribes to the progressive thinking that access to scientific knowledge must benefit all without recourse to purchasing power. I take this opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of editorial board members and reviewers covering all related topics, especially during the final editing of the published articles. I would also like to express my gratitude to the publisher, all the authors, the advisory board, and office bearers for their support in bringing out yet another volume of the HSI Journal. I am indeed blessed with an excellent team. I look forward to their unrelenting support to bring out Volume 2 Issue 2 at the scheduled time. As the Editor-in-chief, I welcome suggestions, complaints, discussions, and thoughts from authors and readers to help us to maintain high standards. We look forward to publishing high-quality studies and making the HSI Journal synonymous with top quality in health sciences research. Thank you Acknowledgements The University of Ghana College of Health Sciences, the copyright owner, the patron, and sponsor of HSI Journal has always shown a deep interest in the affairs of its constituent institutions. The Journal is indeed grateful to the Reverend Professor Patrick Ferdinand Ayeh-Kumi, the Provost of the University of Ghana College of Health Sciences, for his immense support and leadership.

We are proud and honored to launch the inaugural issue of our new academic endeavor – Grande Medical Journal (GMJ), published by Academic & Research Department, Grande International Hospital (GIH). GMJ is an annual, open, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal that encompasses all fields of medicine and clinical practice. GMJ will be published both in print and online. It will be freely accessible via the internet through GIH’s website with open access to the full text of articles. There will be no subscription fees to the readers or processing fees for the authors. Publisher and authors who publish in the journal will jointly retain the copyright to their article. The editorial policy of GMJ will be guided by the high standards of scientific quality and integrity, professional responsibility, and ethical legacy. GMJ follows double-blind peer-review process. This minimizes the possibility of a biased opinion ensuring a responsible and ethical environment. GMJ will be initially published as one issue per year, and with contributions from national and international physicians and scientists, we aim to increase the frequency to two issues per year. GMJ will publish original research, clinical review, invited reviews, case report, clinical problem solving, clinical images, short communications, and editorials. This inaugural issue features fifteen scientific papers - 1 invited review, 3 original researches, 2 clinical reviews, 1 clinical images article, 8 case reports. The editorial board is committed to get the journal indexed in major search engines, indices, and databases to increase their visibility/ searchability and recognition in wider scientific community. For us to achieve these goals, in the forthcoming issues we seek to publish original, high-quality, peerreviewed papers including original clinical and editorials, clinical reviews, and correspondence on matters that will provide comprehensive coverage on all aspects and subspecialties of medicine. We would like to thank everyone who has worked diligently behind the scenes to bring this inaugural issue to fruition. This launch of the GMJ would not have been possible without the contributions from authors, and experienced and devoted reviewers who willingly signed up for timeconsuming workloads and enthusiastically agreed to provide their critical input to the review process. Thank you all for your trust and support. Indeed, it is a real honor to serve as the founding editors. Sincerely Yours,Prakash Kafle, MSEditor-in-Chief

As you can see, the title of the Journal has changed and this is intended to emphasize its educational direction. It will continue to commission articles covering general medical topics with a particular emphasis on the management of acute medical emergencies, aiming to reflect the challenges that face those physicians responsible for supporting the acute medical intake. The CME component will continue,so helping to facilitate the accumulation of CPD points in General Medicine. As always we welcome submissions for publication and these can take the form of original research in areas of relevance to Acute Medicine or case-reports. We will continue to commission review articles as otherwise it proves impossible to maintain the cycle and the combination of articles we have planned. I am particularly enthused by the combination of topics covered in this Edition and I do hope that you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed my editing duties. Profound thanks as always to those who have so kindly contributed;we do appreciate the extra commitment, especially in these days of inexorably heavier work-load for clinicians. This is my last Journal as Editor and I must extend my gratitude to those who have written articles over the past four years, to the member of the Editorial Board and of course to the Staff at RILA who have self lessly supported the Editor’s task. Unfailingly efficient they have been a complete pleasure to work with and very under tanding of the occasional memory lapse of this particular Editor! Chris Roseveare, Consultant in Acute Medicine in Southampton, takes over and the new editorial board will be announced in the next issue. Chris has some brilliant ideas and will lead this Journal to renewed success I am sure. I wish him the best of luck.

This year will see some fundamental changes at the Annals – changes that are aimed at both enhancing and maintaining its appeal across the broad range of surgical specialties. In this respect, there have already been some important refinements to the structure of the Editorial board. The Annals will now have representatives on its panel from the diapason of subspecialties. It is hoped that this will ensure an equitable apportionment of high-quality original research, review articles and case reports from across the surgical spectrum. It represents the single most tangible adjustment to the structure of the Annals in a generation and one of which I am sure Sir Cecil Wakeley would have approved. I would like to take this opportunity to formally welcome our new board members and invite them to join with our other long-term stalwarts into what is a uniquely collegiate editorial team. As many of our fellows and members will already be aware, there has been a significant shift made over the last few months in the handling of research contributions to the Annals. In recent weeks we have completed the transition to our new submissions portal and it is encouraging that reviewers and authors alike have commended it in equal measure. While we are sadly not in a position to accept much of the material submitted to the journal (we currently accept only one tenth of all the articles subjected to peer review) we can at least aim to improve and enhance the experience for all those involved. In many ways this digital migration is a precursor to a number of innovations that will fundamentally transform the way in which we produce the Annals, the most significant of which is the launch of our new digital platform this month. These innovations signal a gradual move away from the printed version as the principal conduit by which the Annals is distributed. Inevitably, there will be those who will lament the passing of this hitherto more familiar and tactile media and so measures are in hand to allow for a more limited production of a paper version of the Annals for RCS fellows and members who continue to elect to receive their Annals in the traditional format. Medical colleges around the world are currently undergoing similar deliberations and for some a digital version may represent the only opportunity to maintain editorial independence – unhindered by the implications of a commercial publishing partner. It is however hoped that for the vast majority of fellows and members, the new and enhanced digital platform will offer significant advantages such that the digital version becomes the de facto medium of choice. Matt Whitaker and the team at the Annals should be congratulated for their sterling efforts in making this transition. The new site, now live at http://publishing.rcseng.ac.uk , will enhance the experience of finding, accessing, reading, citing, sharing and saving articles from the Annals, Bulletin and FDJ. Sign-on will be much easier; page load times quicker and the search engine more powerful and intuitive. The new platform boasts improved functionality, full in-page article text and multi-media, citation tracking, reference generators and advanced social media integration. We are simultaneously launching a new video library where we will be hosting our technical videos. It will, I am certain, become a huge resource for our surgical fraternity. Our new platform will be followed later this year by the inevitable and ubiquitous app, which will allow readers to download issues of the Annals and read them offline and at leisure on whatever their tablet of choice might be. It is my belief that these and forthcoming changes herald the transformation of the Annals into a truly modern journal with all the digital services that authors and readers now rightly expect from their RCS publication.

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry, a new open access journal, which is dedicated to innovative, practically oriented original research on the fabrication, characterization, functionalization, and manipulation of biomaterials and nanomaterials, hybrid nanosized structures and nanocomposites, with a strong emphasis on the ecological and biomedical applications of nanosystems, new strategies for fighting antibiotic resistance and biofilms’ development in natural, medical and industrial environments, design of new synthetic compounds and the discovery of new natural bioactive compounds. The prime aim of Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is to publish first-class, original research articles under an open access policy with minimal fees for the authors. The quality of the published articles will be assured by a fast yet rigorous peer-review process. The editors will usually reject papers outside the scope of the journal with an immediate decision. Authors who wish to withdraw their manuscript (at any stage of the process) should contact the editorial board. Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is published as an online journal, distinguishing between different types of publications: reviews, which are expected to produce a coherent argument about a topic or a focused description of a field, full articles presented as comprehensive reports on original research of the highest quality and short communications, which should be concise, usually no longer than 2500 words and not intended to publish preliminary results, but an independent report representing a significant contribution to the field of interest. Short communications are also send to peer review. For reviews and full articles there will be no page restrictions in place. Our editorial policy inquires that all submitted papers should be complete in themselves and adequately supported by experimental details. We are looking forward to receiving some of your very best manuscripts for publication in Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry and to participate to an increased international dissemination of scientific information in fully-searchable electronic formats.

Background: Studies have shown that ICT adoption contributes to productivity and economic growth. It is therefore important that health workers have knowledge in ICT to ensure adoption and uptake of ICT tools to enable efficient health delivery.Objective: To determine the knowledge and use of ICT among students of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Ghana.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among students in all the five Schools of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Ghana. A total of 773 students were sampled from the Schools. Sampling proportionate to size was then used to determine the sample sizes required for each school, academic programme and level of programme. Simple random sampling was subsequently used to select students from each stratum.Results: Computer knowledge was high among students at almost 99%. About 83% owned computers (p < 0.001) and self-rated computer knowledge was also 87 % (p <0.001). Usage was mostly for studying at 93% (p< 0.001). Conclusions: This study shows students have adequate knowledge and use of computers. It brings about an opportunity to introduce ICT in healthcare delivery to them. This will ensure their adequate preparedness to embrace new ways of delivering care to improve service delivery.Funding: Africa Build Project, Grant Number: FP7-266474Keywords: ICT, health professionals, knowledge, students

Dear Readers, Authors, Reviewers, and Editorial Board Members, Special appreciation for your kind acknowledgment and continuous support of the Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry. Now, in mid 2020, I am pleased to announce the publication of Issue 1, Volume 11, 2021, in advance. This was possible thanks to the trust that all of you have in our publishing house (AMG Transcend Association). During 2020, the journal published 300 scientific articles, including research papers and reviews that cover essential topics in Applied Chemistry, which cumulate 1518 pages. All papers accepted for publication in the journal are published using a platinum open access policy that provides 100% permanent free access for authors and readers. It is essential to remind that the publisher is a CrossRef member, and the journal is indexed in Scopus and Clarivate Analytics (ESCI) databases, which provides high visibility of published articles. Our main goal for 2021 is to raise the quality of published content and extend the influence of the journal in the Applied Chemistry field, in order to be indexed in SCIE (Q1-Q2). The editorial team will provide prompt evaluation and rapid publication process by maintaining the peer-review process under 14 days, respectively, by limiting the final preparation of manuscripts at a maximum of 7 days. Finally, I cordially invite outstanding academic and scientific researchers to submit their recent studies, either original research or review papers, to be considered for publication in Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry.

Near Future

When I was invited to take over as Editor of this journal, I had little idea of the amount of work which went into its production. I am indebted to Paul Jenkins for staying on in the role of sub-editor, and for helping me up a very steep learning curve over the past few months. I am certain that regular readers will wish to join me in thanking Paul and his editorial team for all their hard work during the last three years. The new editorial board has been expanded to include physicians with a broad range of specialty interests. We will be making use of their expertise and their contacts within their fields to commission reviews on a range of topics relevant to Physicians involved in the Acute Medical take. The intention is to cover all of the common (and some less common) conditions presenting as medical emergencies over a four yearly cycle. Ultimately this will mean that regular subscribers will have access to a comprehensive ‘textbook’ of acute medicine, with ongoing regular updates. The cycle schedule has already been determined, and a provisional plan is listed on page 71. The second section of the journal will include some new features. Some of these will be commissioned, but we would also like to encourage submissions from the readership. Case reports of a ‘General Medical’ nature, pieces of original research and audits relevant to Acute Medicine would be most welcome for this section. ‘Viewpoint’ is intended as a soapbox for anyone with a strong opinion which they would like to air in around 1000 words. This edition contains reviews of the management of suspected pulmonary embolism, diabetic ketoacidosis, anaphylaxis and cellulitis, all relatively common presentations on an Acute Medical take. In addition, we have a detailed review of the management of severe asthma, written from an intensivist’s perspective. This should provide an insight into the management of this complex group of patients, for those of you who are unfamiliar with what goes on beyond the ITU doors. Our ‘How to do it’ feature for this edition is an ophthalmologists’ view of fundoscopy, and some key abnormalities of the optic disc. Self assessment questions and answers are included at the back of this edition. Unfortunately, external CPD credits cannot currently be accrued by completion of these, although we hope to remedy this in the near future. I am sure this will not detract from the enjoyment of reading the journal, which I hope you find as educational an experience as I have had in editing it.

This third issue compiles the papers sent during 2017 and some others sent in 2018, so I apologise all the authors for the delay and thank them for their patience. The 4th issue will be devoted to be the proceeding of the World Congress organized by Dr Lamberto Re in Ancona - Italy in 2017 and will be published by Summer-19. Issue number 5 will be devoted to spine diseases thanks to the wonderful effort done by Dr. Alberto Alexandre from Treviso - Italy. The rest of the papers already sent and new to come will be published on 2020. The indexation of this journal is so fantastic, thanks to the University of Valencia’s Publication Service, that it is quickly compiled in all open journals search indexes. We will be included in other search engines as soon as we fulfil their requirements. By the moment, the only thing we need is papers. This issue has scientific articles devoted to basic investigation, toxicity and security topics, AIDS, cardiology, hepatitis, neurology, odontology and osteoarthritis. All of them are very interesting and try to clarify some basic and clinical aspects of ozone therapy. I want to express my most sincere gratitude to all the reviewers - members of the editorial board - that have collaborated and really helped to increase the quality of all of them. Peer review process is our corner stone in order to publish a good quality journal, as I believe this is. For the readers, I thank them for reading our journal so much and download our papers so many times; you can read in the STATISTIC section (still on testing) the great impact our journal is having in the scientific community. I also encourage them to publish their experience. I know that many of them have never published and are afraid of doing it, but I promise I will help anybody that wants to write a paper to do it. Some of you have already checked this. I wait for your papers meanwhile we prepare the next issues! Prof. Jose Baeza-Noci WFOT Past-President JO3T Editor-in-chief
