4. If the submitted manuscript includes extracts from other documents or publications covered by copyright, the authors must furnish written authorization for reproduction from the copyright owners and cite, in the submitted manuscript, the source of the original publication.
Ethics in publishing
Please see our information pages on Ethics in publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication.
Work submitted for publication must be conducted in application of current regulations concerning biomedical experimentation and comply with the ethical principles of the Helsinki declaration. More information on Ethics in publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication.
Studies in humans and animals
If the work involves the use of human subjects, the author should ensure that the work described has been carried out in accordance with The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) for experiments involving humans. The manuscript should be in line with the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals and aim for the inclusion of representative human populations (sex, age and ethnicity) as per those recommendations. The terms sex and gender should be used correctly.
Authors should include a statement in the ethics form that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
All animal experiments should comply with the ARRIVE guidelines and should be carried out in accordance with the U.K. Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986 and associated guidelines, EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments, or the National Institutes of Health guide for the care and use of Laboratory animals (NIH Publications No. 8023, revised 1978) and the authors should clearly indicate in the manuscript that such guidelines have been followed. The sex of animals must be indicated, and where appropriate, the influence (or association) of sex on the results of the study.
Informed consent and patient details
Studies on patients or volunteers require ethics committee approval and informed consent, which should be documented in the paper. Appropriate consents, permissions and releases must be obtained where an author wishes to include case details or other personal information or images of patients and any other individuals in an Elsevier publication. Written consents must be retained by the author and copies of the consents or evidence that such consents have been obtained must be provided to Elsevier on request. For more information, please review the Elsevier Policy on the Use of Images or Personal Information of Patients or other Individuals. Unless you have written permission from the patient (or, where applicable, the next of kin), the personal details of any patient included in any part of the article and in any supplementary materials (including all illustrations and videos) must be removed before submission.
Disclosure of interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the manuscript file. If there are no interests to declare then please state this: 'Declarations of interest: none'. This summary statement will be ultimately published if the article is accepted. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of the ethical statement form, is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.
Change to Authorship
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.

Authors’ names and institutional affiliation
Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors’ affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author’s name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.

Manuscript
Abstract
In English AND in French.
A concise, factual and structured English abstract is required. Abstracts contain 150 to 250 words. They present a brief description of the problem considered and the main conclusions of the work.
Care must be taken to furnish an abstract which can be understood alone, without reference to the body of the text.
For original articles, the abstract has four parts:
1)Objectives; 2) Material and methods; 3) Results; 4) Conclusion; For general reviews and updates, the abstract must not exceed 250 words. They must detail the purpose of the review and present the main points.
For case reports, the abstract must not exceed 200 words and must focus on the specific contribution of the illustrative case, the main results, and a conclusion.
Abbreviations and bibliographic references should be avoided. If necessary, references must be cited in extensor without the reference number used in the body of the text.
Keywords
In English AND in French.
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using British spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, ‘and’, ‘of’). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes
Manuscript writing and presentation
Type the manuscript with a word processor using a common font, size 12, and double spacing, one column per page. You can indicate the titles for sections and subsections by number (1.1.1., 1.1.2, etc.) or using a highlighting system (bold face, italics).
The reader should be able to follow the outline easily.
Text body
Original articles should include the following chapters: introduction, materials/patients, methods, results, discussion, conclusion and references.
– Introduction: background information with pertinent references from the literature explaining why the work was undertaken.
– Material/Patients: details based on precise criteria and in compliance with the ethical considerations mentioned above.
– Methods: detailed presentation, particularly concerning reagents used.
– Results: as precise as possible with numerical data when possible. Statistical methodology must be described. Redundancy (table, text, figures) should be avoided.
– Discussion: contribution of the original results by comparison with earlier data in the literature.
– Conclusion: a short conclusion can be provided but only if it provides a supplementary element to the discussion.
Authors are requested to limit text outlines to three levels of sections and subsections.
Care must be taken to submit a clear easily understandable text using concise language. Use clear English, avoiding medical slang. Abbreviations should be explained at their first appearance in the text and be coherent and invariable. Abbreviations cannot be used in titles and should be avoided in the abstract. To avoid confusion, use a limited number of abbreviations.
The body of the text is followed by the bibliographic references (see references below), then by captions for figures, titles for tables, tables, and figures.
Footnotes
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many wordprocessors build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
Nomenclature and Units
International nomenclature should be used for anatomic terms and international units of measure (for example minute is abbreviated “min” and not “mn”). The generic name of medications, biochemical products and biomaterials should be used (with their brand name in parentheses if needed).
Tables
Each table must be cited in the text as “Table” and numbered with Arabic numerals in the order of citation. A title for the table must be placed above each table. Footnotes for the table should be placed after the end of the table and referenced with lower case letters in the exponent position. Do not use vertical lines. Limit the number of tables. Do not repeat data already presented in the body of the text.
Tables should not exceed one page.
