Dear Readers;
We are delighted to be with you again in the final issue of 2025.
Bezmialem Science is the multidisciplinary journal of Bezmialem Vakıf University in the field of health. Bezmialem Vakıf University derives its name and stance from Bezmialem Valide Sultan’s foundation tradition of combining science and compassion. This legacy allows us to carry historical traces into today’s scientific advancements.
In this issue, we chose our cover image from the article by Yaprak Bayrak B and Akgul M, titled “Immunohistochemical Diagnostic Algorithm for Renal Cell Carcinoma with Fibromyomatous Stroma.” The article, which describes the immunohistochemical diagnostic algorithm for renal cell carcinoma with fibromyomatous stroma, emphasizes the need for a stepwise algorithmic approach, incorporating emerging immunophenotypic markers alongside the currently widely used and conventional markers in this field. We wanted to reiterate the importance of algorithms while sharing this concise yet significant proposal with you.
Other articles selected for the cover are:
“Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine Studies in Oncology: A Web of Science-based Bibliometric Network Analysis (2020-2024)” by Akalın B et al.
“Effects of Momordica charantia on Gastritis” by Iskurt Y et al.
“The Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) May Serve as a Prognostic Indicator in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Patients Undergoing Emergency Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery” by Uzun N et al.
In our journal, we believe that knowledge should be evaluated not only by citation metrics, but also by its impact on patient outcomes and policy and guidelines. Therefore, we seek the triad of methodological soundness, clinical relevance, and societal benefit in every article. This requires a great deal of effort.
I would like to thank our new assistant editor, section editors, and reviewers for their hard work and contributions, as well as their intense work schedules. Each of their contributions is invaluable to us.
We plan to move one step closer to our goals with the new issues we will publish in the new year with your contributions. I take this opportunity to wish you, our valued readers, and the Bezmialem Science family a happy new year.
I wish you all the best…
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Adem AKÇAKAYA
Editor-in-Chief
