Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to introduce the last issue of the “Journal of the Turkish-German Gynecological Association (J Turk Ger Gynecol Assoc)” in the publishing year of 2023. This issue is consisted of seven articles and one review that we hope you will read with interest. Here we share some of our favorite articles that were published in this issue of the journal.
Unexpected placental adhesion at the site of implantation is referred to as the placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). There is variation in the reported incidence of PAS among women who have had prior cesarean deliveries, ranging from 0.91% to 1 in 313. Severe and occasionally fatal bleeding can result in maternal morbidity and death. To optimize the outcomes, antenatal diagnosis of PAS is particularly beneficial. You will get the occasion to read an article about the function of Doppler ultrasound in pregnant women with PAS.
One of the most prevalent hormonal problem affecting women of childbearing age is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The effects of several dietary supplements and herbal extracts on anthropometric, metabolic, and androgenic indicators in PCOS have been studied in a number of RCTs. You will have the chance of reading a systematic review comparing the effectiveness of several nutritional supplements and herbal extracts in regulating body mass index, waist circumference, androgenic indicators, blood glucose and lipid metabolism markers.
Dear Esteemed Researchers and Reviewers,
The annual number of scientific articles published exceeds 2.5 million, and this number is increasing rapidly. We’ve delivered excellent research to make progress in the field with your assistance. We acknowledge that your scientific achievements will have a significant impact on life-saving measures or raising standards of living.
As you may already be aware, our journal received its first impact factor, 1.4, in June 2023 since it is listed in the Clarivate’ Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)! In this sense, we would like to express our gratitude to each and every one of the reviewers, who played a critical role in this accomplishment. Along with this information, we hope that our open publication approach will inspire more researchers to submit their work to JTGGA so they can gain from a large readership and high-quality peer review.
