Dear readers,
With the arrival of spring, nature has begun to awaken-flowers are blooming, trees are budding, and the weather is warming, signaling renewed vitality all around us. As we approach the end of another academic year, we also look forward to the summer break-a well-deserved opportunity to rest and recharge. In the first week of June, we will come together with our loved ones to celebrate Eid al-Adha.
On this occasion, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the members of our editorial team-including the Managing Editors, Editorial Board, Statistics Editor, and all other contributing editors-for their dedication and valuable efforts in preparing each issue of our journal.
We also sincerely thank our esteemed reviewers, whose timely and thoughtful evaluations are essential not only for the academic development of our submitting authors but also for ensuring the punctual publication of each issue. We kindly emphasize the importance of responding to referee invitations within the designated timeframe, as peer review is a cornerstone of scholarly publishing.
On behalf of our journal, we express our heartfelt thanks to all authors who have submitted their work, our diligent referees, and our valued readers for their continued support.
The second issue of 2025 features one review article, nine original research articles, and one case report.
We wish you a healthy, happy, and peaceful season ahead and look forward to reconnecting with you in the third issue of 2025.
Best regards,
M. Ali Gülçelik, M.D., Prof.
Editor-in-Chief
