Abstract

Dear Colleagues,

As the Editorial Board, we are very happy to be with you at the 1st issue of Gaziantep Medical Journal (GMJ) for 2015. Unfortunately, we are still behind the schedule, because of the delay resulting from technical difficulties and staff shortage. Therefore, we are in process of transferring the management of publishing process of the journal to independent publishers. We are expecting to organize the July 2015 issue with an independent publisher. We believe this transition will not only speed up the publishing process, but will also improve the design and quality of hard copies of the Journal. Consequently, we think that we will be able serve better to both authors of manuscripts that we publish and to our respected readers.

As you may have already noticed, we re-organized the Journal’s Editorial Board with new members. I would like sincerely to thank to our members, who completed their term, and like to welcome the new ones, who joined to the Editorial Board. I believe that we will achieve a better and efficient editorial management of GMJ, all together.

In this issue, we have a good collection of interesting research studies, case reports, letters and a review from various disciplines of medicine and dentistry, which we hope will be useful to our readers.

We look forward to meeting you soon with the next issue of April 2015.

With best wishes,

Hasan Bayram MD, PhD.
The Editor
