Notes
– Dates of any congress where the paper has already been presented.
– Mention of any funding or research contracts or conflict of interest.
– Acknowledgements.

Abstracts and key words
Articles should include an abstract not exceeding 250 words. For original articles and technical notes, the abstract should be structured as follows: background (status of knowledge and aim of the study), methods (experimental design, patients and interventions), results (what was found), conclusion (meaning of the study). Key words should refer to the terms from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) of the Index Medicus. No abstracts are required for editorials or letters to the Editor.
Text
The article must be subdivided into the following sections: introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusions. The introduction should describe the present state of knowledge on the subject and clearly state the aim of the research. The Materials and methods section should provide enough information to allow other researchers to reproduce results and should include a statistics section. Drugs should be identified by their international non-proprietary name. If special equipment is used, then the manufacturer's details (including town and country) should be given in parentheses. The Results section should describe the outcome of the study. Data presented in tables and graphs should not duplicate those presented in the text. Very large tables should be avoided. The Discussion should include the interpretation of the results obtained, an analysis of the limits of the study, and references to work by other authors. Conclusions should highlight the significance of the results for clinical practice and experimental research.
Units of measurement, symbols and abbreviations must conform to international standards. Measurements of length, height, weight and volume should be given in metric units (meter, kilogram, liter) or their decimal multiples. Temperatures must be expressed in degrees Celsius. Blood pressure must be expressed in millimeters of mercury. All hematological and clinicochemical measurements should be expressed in metric units using the International System of Units (IS). The use of unusual symbols or abbreviations is strongly discouraged. The first time an abbreviation appears in the text, it should be preceded by the words for which it stands.
References
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication (a copy of the acceptation letter can be requested) in journals cited in peer-reviewed Index Medicus journals. Websites can also be cited providing the date of access. Bibliographical entries in the text should be quoted using superscripted Arabic numerals. References must be set out in the standard format approved by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (www.icmje.org).
Footnotes and endnotes must not be used in the preparation of references.
Journals
Each entry must specify the author's surname and initials (list all authors when there are six or fewer; when there are seven or more, list only the first six and then Òet al.Ó), the article's original title, the name of the Journal (according to the abbreviations used by Index Medicus), the year of publication, the volume number and the number of the first and last pages. When citing references, please follow the rules for international standard punctuation carefully.
