We are happy and proud to have successfully completed the seventh VII.

This congress, which 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.
Our congress, organized under the leadership of our university's Faculty of Medicine and Obesity and Diabetes Application 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 academicians, students and health professionals, a multifaceted and in-depth sharing of information on endocrine diseases has been provided.
Many current topics such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid diseases, neuroendocrine tumors and pituitary diseases were discussed in this year's sessions of our congress. Expert speakers shared the latest approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases by explaining innovative research and clinical applications in detail. 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 realization of this organization, 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 Readers,

Our journal, which started publication in 2017, has been indexed by TUBITAK UAKBIM TR Index since 2019 and continues to contribute to the literature with its current and scientific publications. As the national and international visibility of our journal increases, the flow of publications sent to our journal by valuable scientists also increases.
We are sharing an innovation with you in this issue of our journal. Our Editorial Board have decided to publish the graphical abstract of the articles to be published together. A graphical abstract should allow readers to quickly gain an understanding of the main take-home message of the paper and is intended to encourage browsing, promote interdisciplinary scholarship, and help readers identify more quickly which papers are most relevant to their research interests. Journals are increasingly requesting the submission of a “graphical” or “visual abstract” alongside the body of the article. This is a single, concise, pictorial and visual summary of the main findings of the article. It could either be the concluding figure from the article or better still a figure that is specially designed for the purpose, which captures the content of the article for readers at a single glance. Detailed information about the graphical abstract is available at https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/mjwbs/page/16765.
