The original research article by Kipourgos et al. assesses the knowledge, behavioral attitudes, and vaccination willingness among medical students in order to elicit valuable insights for the development of targeted educational initiatives, training programs, and public health campaigns. Lastly, this issue includes four review articles. The first review, by Papantoniou et al., investigates the importance of patient preparation and medical evaluation prior to endoscopic procedures, the potential need for medication dose adjustments, limitations in sedation, and strategies to ensure compliance with medical instructions. Additionally, it discusses the possible risks and optimal preparation for the two most performed endoscopic procedures, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy and analyzes potential complications and safety measures associated with other endoscopic procedures. The review by Papageorgiou et al. explores the range of mechanisms employed by infectious diseases, which contribute to the occurrence of T-cell immunodeficiency. The review by Papanikolaou et al. provides an overview of the existing evidence regarding abbreviated double antiplatelet therapy duration with a focus on the management of patients with specific comorbidities, anatomical and technical issues during percutaneous coronary intervention. Lastly, the review by Katagi et al. demonstrates the genetic and molecular aspects of human hydrocephalus associated with congenital disorders and other complex pathologies including common syndromes such as primary ciliary dyskinesia and Dandy-Walker malformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yours sincerely,<br \/>\nC Triantos<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Associate Professor in Internal Medicine<br \/>\nand Gastroenterology Faculty of Medicine,<br \/>\nSchool of Health Sciences, University of Patras<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Editor-in-Chief of the journal \u201cACHAIKI IATRIKI\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACHAIKI IATRIKI | 2024; 43(4): 162 Letter from the editor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[426],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-volume-43-2024-issue-4"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1554"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1560,"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1554\/revisions\/1560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/achaiki-iatriki.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
