Dear colleagues,

In the current issue, the editorial by Palaiologou et al. highlights the opportunities that artificial intelligence (AI) has primarily brought to public health and healthcare administration, while also exploring its potential future impact on disease prediction, epidemiology, and the improvement of healthcare quality. The editorial by Syrmas et al. reviews the current applications of AI in liver ultrasound elastography, with a particular focus on the assessment of chronic liver disease.

The original research article by Leontari et al. evaluates serum vitamin D levels among the residents of Karystos, investigating vitamin D status in a population with sufficient sun exposure throughout the year.

The first review, authored by Papageorgiou et al., discusses current diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for primary angiitis of the central nervous system, emphasizing the need for continued research on this rare neurological condition. The review by Malliou et al. delves into the therapeutic benefits of thermal water therapy for patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Finally, the review by Zarkavelis et al. presents the latest insights on the optimal sequencing of therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer, emphasizing the role of molecular characteristics in shaping treatment strategies.

Yours sincerely,
