Celebrating 50 Years of Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis—Part II
Emmanuel J. Favaloro
Abstract
Welcome to another issue of Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis (STH). This is another very special issue, being the second of a series of issues we will publish to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the journal. As explained more fully in a prior editorial,[1] STH has been part of the thrombosis and hemostasis landscape for almost 50 years. STH was first published in 1974, and so will turn 50 in 2024. As we head toward this landmark date, we believed it is appropriate to celebrate with a series of STH issues containing content of a somewhat historical nature. The current issue of STH, the third for 2023, marks the second of these issues, and celebrates the 50th year of publishing for STH. We have not yet reached 50 years of age; this birthday comes in 2024, but we are getting close. As an update to the prior editorial,[1] I can also report that STH online is now "whole." At that time, I reported that the online content of STH was complete but missing the first issue of the journal, as published in early 1974. I am now happy to report that a copy of the first issue has been found and since scanned and posted online (https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/issue/10.1055/s-012-55744). Many thanks to one of our senior editors, Ton Lisman, for tracking down a copy of the first issue for us.
