Asian Medical Journal and Alternative Medicine

Editor’s Note

“Time files” is very true in my opinion as we are now approaching the end of the year 2024 and AMJAM has published its last issue of this year. The last month of the year has been the most favorite time for many people to celebrate, travel and meet up with their friends and family. This year, it is our pleasure to welcome the new Thai and international experts to join our editorial team and as always, we all commit to bring great research and review articles to our readers. We are now working with an international publishing company to further improve the quality of the article submission process and the visibility of the journal among national and international readers. We anticipate the significant changes in 2025. For this issue, AMJAM publishes original articles in various clinical aspects including imaging of intracerebral hemorrhage, degenerative parkinsonism and primary lung cancer, incidence and risk factors of iatrogenic pneumothorax after thoracentesis, characteristics and treatment outcomes of primary aldosteronism, effect of benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine on antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and ophthalmology competency among Thai medical interns. In addition, the case report in this issue provides insight on nutritional support in a patient with recurrent locally advanced breast cancer.
