Original Research Articles
Cover Letter
A cover letter is required. The cover letter must briefly summarize the important points of the work and state that the manuscript is an original novel study, has not been previously submitted to or accepted by another journal, has been approved by all authors, and disclose any conflicts of interest.
Abstract
A structured abstract is required. Abstract must not exceed 350 words. The abstract must be structured. The abstract must include a Clinical Trial Registration heading when applicable, giving the unique identifier and the URL of the publicly accessible trial registry website.
Manuscript

Provide a word count for the main text, a separate word count for the abstract, 3–10 keywords after the abstract, the number of figures and tables, a conflicts of interest section, and a Declaration of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process section when AI tools were used.
References
References must be cited as sequential numbers in square brackets and listed numerically, consistent with Vancouver-style numbering. List all authors when a reference has fewer than six authors, list the first six followed by “et al.” when there are more than six authors, use standard journal titles, and include page numbers.
Figures & Tables
No more than 12 figures and tables are permitted in total. Figures and tables must be inserted into the main text close to their first citation and numbered in order of appearance. Tables must be real editable tables rather than images, and figures and tables must be cited in ascending numeric order.
Review
Cover Letter

References
References must be cited in the text as sequential numbers in square brackets, the reference list must be sorted numerically, and entries must list all authors if fewer than six or the first six followed by “et al.” if more than six.
Figures & Tables
Figures and tables must be inserted into the main text close to their first citation and numbered in order of appearance. Tables must be created as real tables rather than images, and figure legends must provide a short title and enough explanation to make the figure intelligible without reference to the text.
