Dear Readers and Esteemed Authors,
As spring gradually gives way to summer, the renewal seen in nature reminds us of the importance of continued growth and productivity in academic life as well. With the completion of another busy academic term, the approaching summer break offers a valuable opportunity for rest and renewal. The recent celebration of Eid al-Adha also provided a meaningful occasion to reflect on the values of solidarity, generosity, and togetherness.
On this occasion, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all members of our editorial team—particularly the Managing Editors, Editorial Board members, Statistics Editor, and all contributing editors—for their dedicated efforts and valuable contributions to the preparation of each issue of our journal.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our reviewers for their careful and timely evaluations, which play a crucial role in maintaining the scientific quality of our journal and ensuring the efficient progress of the publication process.
On behalf of our journal, we sincerely thank all authors who submitted their valuable work, our reviewers, and our readers for their continued support.
The second issue of 2026 includes ten original research articles and one case report.
We wish you health, peace, and success in the coming months and look forward to welcoming you again in the third issue of 2026.
Sincerely,
M. Ali Gülçelik, M.D., Prof.
Editor-in-Chief
