A maximum of two (2) images can be included per case. The image(s) will be placed at the bottom of the case in all publications and may be resized to fit in the format of the final printed material.

• Structure:Cases must use the following structured format:
  -Background-Aim
  -Methods
  -Results
  -Conclusions.
  In the final version, the text will not be sorted into paragraphs.

• Title:The case title should be submitted strictly in capital letters and not exceed a limit of 25 words. Please do not use abbreviations.
