Dear Annals of Medical Research family,

As the last issue of 2021, we are happy to publish the December 2021 issue, again full of articles with rich content. The contribution of you, our esteemed readers, authors and reviewers, in reaching this stage is enormous. At the Annals of Medical Research, we hope that your contributions will accelerate in 2022. Although we, as Annals of Medical Research, are already included in many international indexes, we hope to be included in even more prestigious indexes this year (DOAJ, PubMED, Scopus, Web of Science,....).

With the wishes that 2022 will be the year that the pandemic ends, it will bring health, happiness and peace.
