Article Turkish Thoracic Society Declaration on Peace and Health the Importance of Breathing in a World Without Ware(Galenos Publ House, 2026-01-30) Cetinkaya, Pelin Duru; Toreyin, Zehra Nur; Ozdemir, Hande Yuce; Yasin, Yesim; Kilinc, Oguz; Yorgancioglu, Arzu; Begic, Erencan; Bingöl, Züleyha; Erencan, Begiç; Kaya, Aslıhan Gürün; Demirdöğen, EzgiWar legitimizes the right to kill for its participants, equating victory with moral justification, however, this perceived legitimacy is largely Constructed on the deaths of civilians and other living beings. Medicine, by its very nature, is grounded in the principles of preserving ife, doing no harm, and adhering to scientific and ethical standards, and is therefore fundamentally opposed to the philosophy of war. Wars lead, directly and indirectly, to desaths, disability, displacement, poverty, and long-term public health disasters. Attacks on health Facilities, restrictions on access to food and water, environmental destruction, and air pollution disproportionately affect vulnerable Dopulations, particularly women and children. The psychological consequences of war often evolve into persistent neuropsychiatric conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and moral injury. Peace is not merely the absence of war, it is a prerequisite for health, environmental sustainability, and social well-being. The concept of positive peace strengthens health indicators hrough well-functioning institutions, equitable resource distribution, and the protection of human rights. Within this framework, health professionals and civil society organizations are critical actors in advocating for peace and in making human rights violations visible The Turkish Thoracic Society regards peace as an indispensable condition for public and respiratory health, affirms its opposition to all wars particularly the ongoing atrocities in Gaza-and reaffirms its commitment to sustained, health-based advocacy for peace,Letter The Necessity of Bronchiectasis Registries - The Turkish Registry of Bronchiectasis(Galenos Publ House, 2026-01-20) Kizilirmak, Deniz; Martinez-Garcia, Miguel Angel; Cicek, Sedat; Coskun, Aysin Sakar; Kilinc, Oguz; Edis, Ebru CakirBronchiectasis demonstrates a significant discrepancy between its high prevalence and the limited evidence base. Patient registries, both national and international, are key to collecting comprehensive data. However, the cost-effectiveness of this approach remains a subject of ongoing debate.1 In the opinion of the authors of this editorial, despite the significant costs and effort involved in establishing such registries, they are justified—provided that certain key characteristics are met. The registry must be sufficiently comprehensive in capturing relevant variables to avoid missing critical data that could impede meaningful research, particularly in areas such as therapeutic interventions, comorbidities, microbiological findings, and prognostic factors.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 6Effects of Bevacizumab Administration on the Hypoxia- Induced Pulmonary Hypertension Rat Model(Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2021-10-21) Demir, Canan; Karaman, Meral; Ucan, Eyup Sabri; Gokmen, Ali Necati; Gurel, Duygu; Coker, Sadiye Canan; Adali, Yasemen; Yilmaz, Osman; Gokmen, Necati; Coker, CananBackground/aim: Bevacizumab is a chemotherapeutic drug, which selectively binds to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and mainly inhibits angiogenesis and neovascularization. We aimed to study the possible effects of bevacizumab on right ventricular pressure (RVP), right ventricular hypertrophy, and VEGF, in hypoxia -induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) rat model. Materials and methods: 24 adult Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group -saline; Bevacizumab Group; PH Group; PH + Bevacizumab Group. In hypoxia -induced model, 10% oxygen and 90% nitrogen were applied in a plexiglas box for eight days to PH Group and PH + Bevacizumab Group. On day eight, RVPs were measured directly from the heart, and then animals were sacrificed. Heart and lung tissues were examined, and Fulton index was measured. Results: RVP, Fulton index, and tissue VEGF scores were significantly lower in PH + Bevacizumab group than PH group: median (ranges), RVP, mmHg, 37.8 (33.0-39.0) and 32.3 (28.0-35.0), p: 0.01; Fulton index: 0.30 (0.29-0.33) and 0.25 (0.24-0.26), p: 0.003; tissue VEGF scores: 5.1 (4.8-5.3) and 4.0 (3.8 4.1), p: 0.004, respectively. Conclusion: Bevacizumab, which is indeed an antineoplastic agent, might have a favorable effect on hypoxia -induced pulmonary hypertension.
