Experiments with animals should be done in accordance with the legal requirements of the relevant local or national authority. Procedures should be such that experimental animals do not suffer unnecessarily. Papers should include details of the procedures and of anesthetics used. The Editors will not accept papers where the ethical aspects are, in their opinion, open to doubt.

All illustrations including figures, charts and graphs should be clear with minimum resolution of 300 dpi. The caption must be placed below and numbered (1, 2, 3 etc.).  Use the bold font of the figure caption (e.g. Figure 1. Sex Distribution of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus).

All the tables should be prepared using the horizontal border style only (without vertical border). The caption must be placed above and numbered (1, 2, 3 etc.).  Use the bold font of the table caption (e.g. Table 1. Characteristics of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus). If necessary, footnote should be placed below the table, with smaller font size of the table font (Cambria font with size of 9).
