Dear Our Readers,

We are publishing the December 2024 issue of the Turkish Journal of Diabetes and Obesity by the Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Obesity and Diabetes Application and Research Center within the framework of the cooperation protocol with the Turkish Obesity Research Association.

Continuous developments in the field of medicine have the power to change the fate of not only individuals but also societies. In this context, the cooperation of both academics and practitioners is of critical importance in the advancement of science and the improvement of healthcare services.

This journal you are reading aims to present you with new discoveries, current research and practical applications in a wide range of medical literature. Each page is a reflection of the devoted work of scientists and healthcare professionals. The articles in this journal will not only increase your professional knowledge; they will also allow you to discover innovative approaches that will shape the healthcare services of the future.

When we set out eight years ago to increase knowledge in the field of diabetes and obesity and to build a bridge between scientists and health professionals, it was exciting to imagine that this journal would have such a strong impact in the health community. Today, we are happy to have achieved this goal with your support. For the past eight years, we have met with you with issues that include groundbreaking developments, innovative approaches and in-depth analyses in the field of diabetes and obesity. Each article was selected with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of these two global health problems and the development of effective solutions.

In the last issue of this year, we have included a wide range of valuable studies from the pathophysiology of diabetes to new treatment options and multidisciplinary approaches applied in the fight against obesity. In addition, we have full faith in the power of practical experiences and innovative research from the field to shape future health policies based on scientific foundations. We would like to thank our authors, referees and editorial board who have contributed to this successful process. The trust and feedback of our readers have been one of the most important forces that carried this journal forward. With our belief in the guidance of science in the fight against diabetes and obesity, we will continue to share developments in this field with you in the coming years and contribute to a healthier future.

We are happy and proud to have successfully completed the seventh Zonguldak Endocrine Days: Current Approach to Endocrine Diseases Congress in 2024. Our congress, organized under the leadership of our university's Faculty of Medicine, Obesity and Diabetes Training and Research Center, and with the support of the Turkish Obesity Research Association, has been enriched with the scientific contributions of important publications such as the Turkish Journal of Diabetes and Obesity, the Western Black Sea Medical Journal, and the Journal of Higher Education and Science. With the participation of academics, students, and health professionals, a multifaceted and in-depth knowledge sharing on endocrine diseases has been provided. This congress, where we came together to discuss the latest developments in the field of endocrinology, share current scientific knowledge, and strengthen interdisciplinary interactions, has made meaningful contributions to the scientific world. This year’s sessions of our congress covered many current topics such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid diseases, pituitary, neuroendocrine disorders and pituitary diseases. Expert speakers in their fields shared the latest approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases by providing detailed information on innovative research and clinical applications. In addition, interactive sessions and student participation that strengthened interdisciplinary collaborations also attracted great attention. We would like to thank all institutions and organizations that contributed to the organization of this event, academics who added value to the congress with their devoted work and participants who contributed with interest. We wholeheartedly believe in the importance of such events for the continuity of scientific development and the improvement of health services. We hope to see you again at the next meeting, believing that Zonguldak Endocrine Days will continue to shed light on the world of science.

Dear Scientists, Academicians and Students,

A Collaboration Protocol was signed between the Turkish Obesity Research Association and Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University by taking an important step from the Turkish Journal of Diabetes and Obesity. As the Turkish Journal of Diabetes and Obesity, we are proud to open the doors of a new era in scientific publishing. With the collaboration of the Turkish Obesity Research Association and Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, our journal will now serve as a joint publication platform.

Our new structure will both enrich our academic content and enable studies in these fields to reach wider audiences. We aim to carry out a stronger publication process in the light of science and with multidisciplinary collaborations in the future.
