Acta Informatica Medica (www. actainformmed.org) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal which publish original articles, professional articles, reviews, viewpoints, and case studies, covering issues in Biomedical and Medical/Health informatics, published by the Academy of Medical Sciences of Bosnia and Herzegovina (www.amn. ba) (1). Acta Informatica Medica journal (Acta Inform Med) has founded in the year 1993 by Izet Masic and Zoran Ridjanovic, as official journal of Bosnian-Herzegovinan Society of Medical Informatics (BHSMI). This year Acta Informatica Medica has accepted as official journal of the European Federation for Medical Informatics ( www.efmi. org), besides 3 other journals: International Journal of Medical Informatics, Methods of Information in Medicine and European Journal of Biomedical Informatics. Journal Acta Informatica Medica is abstracted and indexed in 25 on-line data bases, including Pubmed, Pubmed Central, Scopus, Embase, Hinari, etc. Also, we sent application for including Acta as official journal of International Medical Informatics Association (www.imia.org) and to Web of Science groups (exactly to The Emerging Sources Citation Index) and waiting result of the reviewing process. During the year 2018 in Acta Informatica Medica was published 58 papers (from total amount published papers, 76.9% was original papers), where it was more published original papers in the journal than in the year 2017 (Figure 1). The journal began with the practice to publish the articles of PhD students free of charge, and in that manner opened to this population, and began with the practice of populating biomedical information technology, both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the region. The journal opened to PhD students, and they embrace it through the official letter to the Editor, presenting their goals and problems. The purpose of the journal is availability in the future period, to those authors who are not able to pay a publishing fee (because the subscription fee should be secondary and the quality of the work at the first place) to publish their papers free of charge. The tendency for the future is to preserve the Open Access model, while enabling funding through the subscription and purchase of printed publications. The purpose of the journal is to continue the publishing of both its online and print edition, four times a year (ISSN: 0353-8109 (Print), ISSN: 1986-5988 (On-line)).

On December 8th of the year 2018 in Sarajevo held meeting “Days of AMNuBiH” - Days of Academy of Medical Sciences of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and The Second Mediterranean Seminar on Science Writing, Editing and Publishing (SWEP–2018). Venue of the both meetings were at hotel Holiday in Sarajevo (1).

Title of Days of AMNuBiH 2018” and “SWEP 2018” is “Ethical Dilemmas in Science Editing and Publishing”. Why? If one wants to create a scientific work, must have on his mind that creating a scientific work requires creativity and openness, honesty, trust, and obeying the ethical principles for writing a scientific paper. While working on a an biomedical research involving human subjects medical workers should have on mind that it is the duty of the physician to remain the protector of the life and health of that person on whom biomedical research is being carried out. The World Medical Association (WMA) has developed the Declaration of Helsinki as a statement of ethical principles to provide guidance to physicians and other participants in medical research involving human subjects.

Introduction: Austro-Hungarian monarchy had great impact on healthcare system in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), and consequences of that exist today. Aim: To launch of the section „The Most Influential Physicians in the Development of Health Care in Bosnia and Herzegovina“, in which, within next issues of the Medical Archives will be presented the prominent physicians, dentists and pharmacists who gave contribution to development of healthcare system in B&H. Results: This paper provides a full overview from the literature about health care circumstances during 150 years in Bosnia and Herzegovina and important of the role health care institutions and of all the doctors working in B&H during the Austro-Hungarian administration. To some of them is devoted more attention in the texts about their life and work and their contribution to the development of the health service in B&H. Also, author gave description of the others, except for the medical activities who have contributed to our homeland, such as Dr. Jozef Kecet, Dr. Julije Makanec, Dr. Teodora Krajewska, Dr. Josef von Preindlsberger, Dr. Hamdija Karamehmedovic and others, but there are many more that we should know about and mention them. Conclusion: The fact is Austro-Hungarian model of healthcare system in that time was functional for that period and great improvement in comparison to past and the fact is that that system represents a basis even for modern medicine in territory of B&H.

In medicine of the 21st century, which is essentially a digital medicine, Medical Informatics in theory should be an essential subject while studying medicine. This paper has a descriptive character, and represents an analysis of the existence of the subject “Medical Informatics” at the Medical faculties in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fact is that Medical Informatics in Bosnia and Herzegovina essentially does not exist, and that the establishment of the subject of Medical Informatics is necessary. How it came to this, the question remains, but the fact is that taking into account the modern clinical medicine, as well as modern scientific research, Medical Informatics still deserves a place in the syllabuses related to the study of clinical medicine.

Writing of scientific articles requires high competence and scientific awareness, and the respect of scientific patterns of behavior. Every article should essentially be followed by the IMRAD structure, which is generally represented, with minor modifications, in the entire modern scientific publishing. Writing articles must follow the thread, have a meaningful beginning and end, and from each and every part of the context. Also, it is indicate the benefits of the paper, to its defect, defining ambiguous points that would have the process for further analysis in some subsequent studies by the same or another group of authors. It means, the chapter - Discussion represents the heart of every scientific article. The writing of the discussion itself must point to the specificity of the results of the work itself. Author wants to point out the importance of quality description of chapter Discussion, when scientists prepare their articles with presenting own results comparing it with results of other authors with similar topic.

The book OCT Angiography is a handwriting which presents a good example of establishing a correlation with world literature in the field of new, sophisticated ophthalmology diagnostics. It represents a concise and sufficiently detailed monography on the new OCTA diagnostic method in ophthalmology. It is very important to note that the author of the book used their own material with her own descriptions and comments on every single image included, which gives the material a great value and worthiness. The book has 24 chapters: 1) Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography; 2) Choroidal Neovascularization; 3) Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration; 4) Neovascular/Exudative/Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration; 5) Central Serous Retinography; 6) Polipoidal Choroidal Vassculopathy, Idiopathic Polipoidal Choreidal Vasculopathy; 7) Diabetic Retinopathy; 8) Degenerative Myopia) 9) Retinal Artery Occlusion; 10) Retinal Vein Oclussion; 11) Sybvnchysis Scientillans; 12) Posterior Vitreous Detachment; 13) Epiretinal Membrane, Cellophane Maculopathy and Macular Pucker; 14) Vitreomacular Traction Syndrome; 15) Macular Pseudohole; 16) Lamellar Macular Hole; 18) Full Thickness Macular Hole, Stage 4; 19) Toxoplasmic Chorioretinitis; 20) Albinism; 21) X-linked Juvenile Retinoschisis; 22) Radiation Retinopathy; 23) Glaucoma; 24) Optic Neuritis and Papilledema. Auhors of these chapers are: Aida Kasumovic, MD; Emir Cabric, MD, PhD; Maja Zivkovic, MD, PhD; Lejla Muhamedagic, MD, MSc; Orhan Lepara, MD, PhD; Nesina Avdagic, MD; PhD and Tatjana Jeftic, MD. Authors are physicians and teachers from universities in Sarajevo and Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Nis (Serbia). Some of pathological cases are presented with ten to fifteen individual images and figures, aiming to help the reader properly read and analyse the patient from beginning to the end. Also, images are organized so the reader can easily compare and understand correlation between them. Documented findings give the physician a possibility of careful comparison with earlier findings of the classic OCT. The author of this work has very skillfully introduced a reader into anatomy, physiology and pathology of the most common diseases of the posterior ocular segment. The book gives also a very good overview of optic nerve pathology and OCTA findings.
