Abstract A structured abstract (of no more than 250 words) will be published in both French and English. Translation is undertaken by the editorial office when needed but we appreciate your help in providing bilingual abstracts when possible. For clinical material, the abstract should consist of seven paragraphs, each beginning with its introductory heading: objective, design, setting, methods, main outcome measures, results, and conclusions. The abstract should state clearly why the study was done, how it was carried out, the results, and the conclusions derived from those results.

Figures Must be uploaded separately and should not be interspersed throughout the text. Electronic graphic files must be submitted as tiff or eps, 300 dpi, and scanned or created at the size they will be placed (usually approximately 10 cm in width). Powerpoint presentations and graphics embedded in wordprocessing documents are not acceptable. If colour figures are submitted and accepted, the full cost of printing these is to be borne by the author. A signed consent form must accompany all photographs of identifiable patients or, alternatively, the author must blank out the eyes in such a way as to make the patient unrecognizable.
Legends to Figures Each figure must be accompanied by a Legend uploaded on a separate page. Include magnifications of photomicrographs and identify stains used on preparations.
Tables, Charts, Graphs, and Audiograms Must be uploaded separately and should not be interspersed throughout the text. These must be legible, in black and white only. When preparing graphs, please remember not to use colour for contrasting different curves. Tables are adjuncts to the text and should not repeat material already presented. Audiograms should be plotted according to ANSI S3.5-1969 (R1973) standards using (ASHA) audiometric symbols.
Tables must be prepared in MS Word using the Table feature (NOTE: Tables cannot be used if they are in PowerPoint or Excel or if they are supplied as images). Tables and columns are all to have headings in place and provided with a title and numbered consecutively in the text with Arabic numerals. Avoid excessive use of horizontal lines. Tables should be provided at the end of the article, after the references and on separate page.
