  • Please check the spelling and grammar carefully. The abstract will be reproduced from your online submission - any errors in spelling, grammar or scientific data will appear in print.
  • Where possible please use the following subheadings in italic font:
    • Objectives: a sentence describing the purpose of the study
    • Methods: description of observations or experimental subjects
    • Results: description of results in a logical sequence
    • Conclusions: emphasis on important aspects of the study and conclusions drawn from them.
