Title: Review of : impact of telemedicine on post-bariatric surgery outcomes and patient satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic : a retrospective observational study Authors: Mercieca, Lisa Abstract: The research provides a comprehensive investigation of the influence of telemedicine utilisation during the COVID-19 epidemic on bariatric surgery safety outcomes and user satisfaction with this follow-up.

Title: Brucellosis : The Malta Experience - A Celebration 1905-2005 Authors: Rizzo Naudi, John Abstract: Professor Rizzo Naudi provides a short description of what can be found in his book Brucellosis : The Malta Experience - A Celebration 1905 - 2005. He describes in some chronological order the progress made in the study of this worldwide disease of animals that also affects humans. Most of the important discoveries regarding this disease were made by English and Maltese investigators working in Malta during the nineteenth and twentieth century. In the words of Dr Kennedy one of the members of the Mediterranean Fever Commission, "The History of Malta Fever (Brucellosis) is practically the history of its study in the Mediterranean and more especially in Malta". This Book is an account of these important discoveries and the subsequent efforts to control and eradicate this disease in Malta, which are very interesting from a historical and social point of view.
