This section should state the relevance and background of the study, and its rationale and purpose.

Methods:

This section should include detailed information on apparatus, experimental procedures, and statistical methods. Studies involving humans, both volunteers and patients, or animals require approval by an Institutional Ethical Committee prior to performing the research and publishing the data.

Results:

Present your results in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations.

Discussion:

This should include the research findings and their limitations, with reference to all other relevant studies.

Conclusions:

This must summarize the main paper with major findings and possibilities for future research. The body of a review article should be a comprehensive, evidence-based review of the literature, accompanied by critical analysis and leading to reasonable conclusions. Wherever appropriate, details of the literature search methodology should be provided.

Acknowledgments:

The Acknowledgments section details special thanks, personal assistance, dedications, and financial support at the end of the manuscript before the references section.
