The Journal of Basic & Clinical Medical Sciences (JBCMS) is pleased to announce the release of its inaugural volume, Volume 1, 2022. This significant milestone marks a major step in our commitment to advancing the field of basic and clinical medical sciences by providing a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of high-quality research.

Volume 1 features a diverse collection of articles addressing critical topics within the medical sciences. Highlights include a viewpoint piece titled "To breathe or not to breathe: implications of hazardous air quality" by Faiza Javaid Tariq. Among the original articles, Alishah Malik explores the outcomes of the Butler neural mobilization technique and manual therapy for chronic low back pain, while Javeria Saeed examines the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pelvic floor muscle exercises among pregnant women visiting public hospitals.
