Over the past decade or so, global warming has opened up the frozen waters of the Arctic Ocean in the summer months, prompting speculation that it would provide a shorter and faster sea route between Europe and Asia, thereby reducing the importance of the Indian Ocean as the 'key to the seven seas'. This article fact checks the reality of this assumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Bahrain Medical Bulletin published an article titled "Talent in Medicine" by Dr. Anil Kumar Chawla. The article discusses how individuals in the medical profession have diverse talents and interests outside of medicine, such as music, art, writing, and sports. It also mentions that some medical professionals apply their knowledge to fields like clinical practice, pharmacology, and folk medicine. The article includes two poems titled "Why?" and "Zero is Hero!" and invites contributors to submit their literary works. This issue of the bulletin also commemorates 25 years since Dr. Chawla's poems were first published in the journal. [Extracted from the article]

The medical profession is not different from other workforce, sharing common interests, hobbies and talents. The majority of these activities are unrelated to medicine. Many are musicians, performers, artists, writers, critics, astronomers, photographers, etc., not to mention their excellence in the world of sports. On the other hand, there are also instances when the practice of these activities takes the form of applied interpretation of what they know in human pathobiology and the concerned function. Thus, some may be historians of clinical practice, clinical pharmacologists of locally used herbs or clinical therapists of locally practiced folk medicine. This section of the Bahrain Medical Bulletin will be devoted to "Talents in the Medical Profession" to show and exchange with others common interests and applied experience. Contributors are therefore welcomed to submit their literary works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
