Abbreviations should be minimised and, if used, be indicated in brackets and spelt in full when first appear.
Generic names of drugs should be used.
Tables and illustrations should be on separate sheets with clear titles which enable interpretation without reference to the text.
Photographs, in slides, colour prints or electronic file, should be labelled with legends and personal features of identity concealed. Photographs should be taken with a uniform coloured background.
