Figures

Every single figure in the text file should be in JPG/JPEG format. The figures need to be 75 mm or 155 mm wide and 300 dpi in resolution. In accordance with their citations in the main text, figures should be numbered. If the figure is a plate, each figure should be divided using upper case letters in a bold "Times New Roman" font size, if necessary, and uniformly. Multiple glossy photographs should be labelled A, B, C, etc. if a figure consists of more than one glossy photo. There should be a separate page devoted to each figure's legend.

Review article

This category will be used to post the topic's updated and condensed information. The word count of the article shouldn't exceed 4500. The general guidelines will apply to other directions as well.

Short communications

This category can be used to publish any condensed new discoveries, significant information, or preliminary findings. Not more than 100 words should be used. The general guidelines will apply to other directions as well.

Case reports

It is possible to report novel, intriguing, and unusual cases. They ought to be original, describing an enormous diagnostic or therapeutic difficulty and offering the readers a lesson. Priority will be given to cases with clinical relevance or implications. These communications, which may be up to 2000 words long, ought to start with the headings listed below: Unstructured abstract, keywords, introduction, discussion, case report, references, tables, and legends in that order.

The manuscript could be backed up by as many as 10 references. Six authors are allowed to contribute to a case report.

Letter to the Editor:

These observations ought to be succinct and conclusive. They ought should, ideally, be connected to previously published articles in the journal or viewpoints therein expressed.
