As we come to the end of 2024, I extend my profound appreciation to our numerous Authors and Members of the Clinical and Scientific Communities for their resolute dedication, loyalty and support for the Health Sciences Investigations Journal since 2020.Amidst the challenges and difficulties, we face as a Journal, the Editorial Team, Technical Team and the Secretariat have demonstrated unwavering commitment to improving the quality of manuscripts submitted for publication. Collectively as a Team, we have made tremendous progress attracting manuscripts from several Authors across the globe. It is with much pleasure that I welcome you to volume 6 issue 2 of the Health Sciences Investigations [HSI] Journal. The HSI Journal remains committed to reaching the global community with open-access publications from basic and clinical health sciences. Reflecting on our journey together since the inception of the Journal, I am elated of what we have achieved as a Journal. Our dedication, commitment and discipline have enhanced our reputation as one of the leading Journals locally and internationally. In the current issue of the HSI Journal we have featured 22 manuscripts, comprising 20 original articles, a case-control study and a mini-review of 2 randomized control studies. The substantial increase in the number of articles published in this issue indicates the level of visibility attained and acceptance of the HSI Journal by the scientific and clinical communities
