The Editors continue to be interested in facilitating publication of clinical and epidemiologic studies, editorials and reveiws. Publication time has been less than four months from date of acceptance. The international character of the Journal and absence of page charges makes it impossible to return all typescripts and figures to the authors. Every effort will be made to return original figures, but this cannot be assured. A cover letter should confirm that the contents have not been published elsewhere, that the paper is not being submitted elsewhere and acknowledge any potential conflict of interest.
Authors are responsible for providing a manuscript written in clear English.
Delay, or even rejection, may result when papers are poorly written. Where appropriate, authors should obtain the help of someone expert in scientific English so as to perfect the presentation of the study. Reference Format References should be typed double-spaced and listed in numerical sequence as they are cited in the text. Names of the first six authors should be provided. Both journal and book references should contain inclusive page numbers.
