Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references and Include a structured abstract of no more than 300 words for original articles, brief report (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions) and review articles(Objective, Data sources, Study selection, Results, Conclusions); an informativeabstract for viewpoint and case report.
Three to 6 words or short phrases should be provided at the top of the abstract page as keywords. Terms from the medical subject heading (MeSH) list of Medlineshould be used; if suitable MeSH terms are not yet available for recently introducedterms, present terms may be used.
Introduction should be short and arresting. State the purpose of the article and summarize the rationale for the study or observation. Give only strictly pertinentreferences and do not include data or conclusions from the work being reported.
Describe your selection of the observational or experimental subjects (patients or laboratory animals, including controls) clearly. Identify the age, sex, and otherimportant characteristics of the subjects.
Identify the methods, apparatus (list the manufacturer’s name and original country in parentheses), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers toreproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statisticalmethods; provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have beenpublished but are not well known; describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations. Identify precisely all drugsand chemicals used, including generic name (s), dose (s), and route (s) ofadministration.
Reports of randomized clinical trials should present information on all major study elements including the protocol (study population, interventions or exposures,outcomes, and the rationale for statistical analysis), assignment of interventions(methods of randomization, concealment of allocation to treatment groups), and themethod of masking (blinding).
Overall describe the major findings of the study. Present your results in logical sequence in the text, tables and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all the data inthe tables or illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations.
Summarize the major findings. Discuss possible problems with the methods used.
Compare your results with previous work. Discuss the clinical and scientific (if any)implications of your findings and their limitations. Suggest further work. Produce asuccinct conclusion.
