9. The materials and methods or patients and methods section should describe materials or your subjects as well as the methods sufficiently in detail to allow other researchers to reproduce your study.
10. The results which are presented in tabular or illustrative form should not be reiterated in the text, but only the most salient findings should be emphasized.
11. The discussion should relate the relevance of the study抯 results to other data from the literature.
12. Grants or funding of the research from pharmaceutical firms must be stated in the Acknowledgements. Authors may also acknowledge institutional funding or grants as well as technical assistance and contributions not justifying authorship.
13. Use the Vancouver style reference system recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors: number references consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. Journal titles of more than one word are to be abbreviated according to the Index Medicus style. Journal titles of only one word should not be abbreviated at all. 玌npublished observations?and 玴ersonal communications?will not be accepted as references in the bibliography and should be inserted in the text in parentheses and the use of abstracts from meetings is discouraged. See examples in the PDF document.

Label each figure with the author抯 name, figure number (Arabic numerals) and indicate top of figure, using an adhesive label. Do not write directly on the backs of figures. Any photomicrographs must have an internal scale marker (do not give magnification because printing reduction will alter it). Cite all figures in text. Color photographs require extra cost on the part of the authors. Type figure legends on a separate sheet. Keep figures to a minimum.

Authors are responsible for complying with national, international or institutional guidelines on the care and use of experimental animals.
18. Describe statistical methods with enough detail to allow reproduction of the study by another researcher.
19. Use the International System of Units (SI) for measurements, i.e., metric units, Celsius for temperatures. Follow SI abbreviations, for example, write microgram as mg, not mcg.
20. Use standard abbreviations. Avoid abbreviations in the title or summary. Aside from standard units of measurements, indicate the full term the first time an abbreviation is used in the text. Do not overuse abbreviations as they impede comprehension.
21. Provide the full Latin genus and species name (in italics) of all microorganisms the first time they are mentioned in the text and abbreviate genus name thereafter. For example, use Staphylococcus aureus the first time and S. aureus thereafter.
22. The first set of printer抯 proofs will be sent to authors for correction and are corrected by the managing editor. Authors should keep a copy of their manuscript to use in proof correction, as this will not be sent back to them.

All papers are edited for English usage and for conformity to the journal抯 bibliographic style.
23. Authors will be sent a reprint price sheet and order form with the proofs. Reprints are available after publication of the article.
