Peer review remains a cornerstone of scientific publishing, ensuring the integrity, rigor, and relevance of the biomedical literature. However, structured training in peer review is rarely provided, particularly for early-career clinicians and researchers who are increasingly invited to contribute. This article presents ten practical considerations aimed at supporting first-time reviewers in delivering high-quality, fair, and constructive evaluations. These include selecting appropriate review invitations, recognising the importance of mentorship, minimising bias, and maintaining ethical standards. By combining experiential insights with established principles, this guide seeks to demystify the peer-review process and promote best practices among emerging reviewers.

Mechanism of Breathing I: Inspiration
The respiratory system, an essential network for breathing, comprises the conducting and respiratory zones, each playing a crucial role in the overall process of respiration. Let us explore the detailed mechanism of inspiration, or inhalation, which is the first phase of the respiratory cycle.
Pathway of Air during Inspiration
During inspiration, air enters our body through the nose or mouth and moves through the conducting zone,...
