It should have the background of the study, methods, results and a final statement of the principal conclusion. The data should be presented as numbers rather than percentages. Three to six key words using where possible terms of medical subjects, heading list from Index - Medicus.

Introduction
It should commence on separate page and should very briefly review the current state of knowledge strictly concerning the topic of the paper. It should also reveal reasons for undertaking the study being reported and what it expected to achieve. No mention should be made of the results obtained or conclusion drawn.

Material and Methods
The material (patients, experimental animals etc.) used for making observations must be described along with all other relevant information. The methods used in the study should be described, giving sufficient information to permit the work to be repeated.

Method of statistical analysis should be specified if used. Standard observations are permitted. Abbreviations if used should be properly defined in the first instance.
Statements should preferably be supported by not more than five references.
All references should be consecutively superscribed and not written in Parenthesis. Avoid using full stops between abbreviations. (PET, not P.E.T.).

Results
Results should be presented in logical sequence in the text, tables and illustrations. The data presented in the tables or figures should not be repeated in the text, only important and significant observations should be highlighted.

Discussion
This should be limited to significance of the results obtained and what can and what cannot be concluded and why? Results should be discussed in the light of other synonymous works in that field. Negative studies should be included to give a balanced view to the readers. Speculative and pure theoretical discussions not related to the results presented will not be accepted. Cite tables and illustrations/ figures by numbers.

Acknowledgements
Acknowledge the source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipments, drugs or all of these; as well as person(s) who have made substantive contributions to the study. All acknowledgements must be grouped into one page after discussion.

References should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerical in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. They should be typed in double space on separate new page.
Accuracy of references is the sole liability of the authors.
Use the style and pattern for abbreviations given in the index medicus. Unpublished work should not be cited in the reference, but may be cited fully parenthetically within the text.
Reference from Journal
List all the authors when there are six or less but when there are seven or more, list the first three, then et al. The title of the journal should be abbreviated accordingly to the style used in the index medicus. Examples of correct form of references are given here :
Articles from Journal

Reference from Book
Author(s), title, edition, city of Publication, year of publication and publisher, the first page of citation e.g. Moss AJ & Adams FH : Heart diseases in infants, children & adolescents, 3rd edition, Baltimore, 1968, Williams & Wilkins, 81.
