Dear colleagues who closely follow the developments in medical science,

Preparations for the first issue of 2024 were spent in the fight against viral infections brought by the winter period. However, with the outstanding efforts of all healthcare professionals, it was overcome without a major social health problem arising. With the hopeful energy of the new year and your intense interest, our first issue is ready for publication, as if welcoming spring. An interesting issue awaits you, in which you will be satisfied with current developments with valuable original research and interesting case series covering different areas of medicine. In this respect, GMJ continues its work without compromising its inclusiveness.

On this occasion, we would like to thank our editorial board, our authors and you, our valued readers, for ensuring that this issue is presented to you in the best possible way.
