* review and discussion can be divided into separate components of the article

Introduction.The introduction should briefly describe the research in a broad context and highlight why it is important. Provide data on epidemiology, prevalence and risk factors for disease, pathology, syndrome, etc. The purpose of the work and its significance must be stated. If necessary, indicate contradictory and divergent hypotheses. As much as possible, please make an introduction to understandable scholars outside of your specific field of study.

Aim. The goal should indicate the problem that the authors solve (what to do) and how it will be done (target group whose problem is solved by the project), and should indicate what, or how this goal will be achieved will be made).

Materials and Methods. This section should provide a detailed description of the research methodology.

1. Experimental studies. The authors should describe the principle of selection and quantitative characterization of material for research and division of research objects into groups, description of applied methods of experimental, histological, clinical studies and methods of statistical analysis of quantitative research results. It is necessary to mention the conclusion of the commission on bioethics.
2. Clinical studies. Authors should carefully describe the study according to its type - treatment, prevention, diagnosis, screening, quality of life, genetics, epidemiology. It is advisable to use randomized controlled trials, you can also use cohort studies, one-time studies and control cases.

To confirm the accuracy of the data used: 1. Authors should provide information on the design of the study, namely: the number of observations, criteria for division into groups, criteria for inclusion and exclusion from the study. The number of observations in the groups should be sufficient for proper statistical analysis. 2. Statistical processing of survey data should be performed using licensed software, license number and software package are listed in the methods section. 3. The chosen form of presentation and the statistical methods used should be briefly described in the materials and methods section.

3. Clinical cases may also be submitted. The clinical case manuscript must contain all the mentioned parts and meet all the criteria. The title of the section "Methods" is changed to "Description of the clinical case" and covers the algorithm of diagnosis and treatment in accordance with international clinical guidelines and standardized scales.

Non-standard abbreviations should be identified at first occurrence and entered only where reusability is used. Authors should not use abbreviations in the headlines.

The methods should be described in sufficient detail so that the reader can verify the results of the study. If there are any restrictions on the disclosure of some information or access to data, this should be noted in this section.

Results.This section presents the main material of the study with a full justification of the obtained scientific results. The submitted material must be logically connected, clearly stated and have an appropriate structure (if necessary, each part may have a name). Scientific style should be followed when presenting the material. The results of the calculation must be described by appropriate methods of biostatistics indicating statistical error / Value P
