Case report:
Case reports provide detailed information about symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment (including all types of interventions), and individual patient outcomes, and they usually describe new or uncommon conditions that advance medical care or highlight diagnostic approaches. The structure of case reports differs from articles and includes an abstract, keywords, introduction, detailed case description, discussion and conclusions, ,with a suggested minimum word count of 2,500 words. Particular care should be taken when submitting case reports to ensure that appropriate permission for publication is obtained from the patients who appear in the paper.
All case reports include the following components: summary, introduction, case, and discussion. Some journals may require a literature review.
• Abstract: It must summarize the case, the problem it addresses, and the idea it presents, preferably not more than 150 words.
• Introduction: Includes a brief overview of the problem addressed by the case, citing relevant literature where necessary, and ends with a sentence describing the patient and his/her underlying condition.
• Description of the case: It includes the details of the case in the following order:
   – Description of the patient (or patients)
   – Case history
   – Results of the physical examination
   – Results of pathological examinations and other examinations
   – Treatment plan
   – The expected result of the treatment plan
   – Actual result
Note: The author must make sure to include all relevant details and exclude unnecessary details.
• Discussion: This is the most important part of the case report; The part that convinces the journal that the case is newsworthy. The explanation of what was mentioned in the introduction is expanded, with a focus on the reasons for the importance of the case and the problem it addresses, followed by a review of the existing literature on this topic. In this part, existing theories and research results about the main problem in the patient’s case are mentioned, and the review must be narrowed to the source of confusion. Or the main challenge in the case, and the case report must be linked to existing literature, mentioning the message conveyed by the case.
Note: The researcher should explain whether the evidence supports or contradicts current beliefs about the problem, and how this evidence can add value to future clinical practice.
• Review literature relevant to the clinical situation.
• Conclusion: The main points addressed in the case report are briefly mentioned, and the author can provide suggestions and recommendations to doctors, teachers, or researchers, and the conclusion can be attached to the discussion paragraph.
Notes on patient consent: Patient consent must be submitted attached to the article, and if the patient is a minor, parental consent must be obtained, and the patient’s identity and any information that may be revealed must be concealed. Particular care must be taken with pictures, and ensure that pictures of the affected area do not Reveal the patient’s identity.

Short reports: (1000 to1500 words and do not contain more than 25 references)
These are articles suitable for presenting previously published extensive research, highlighting additional controls and confirmatory results, as well as negative findings, small-scale clinical studies, and clinical reviews. Authors should clearly state any work they are building on, whether published or unpublished. All data sets on which the paper’s conclusions are based should be made available to readers.
It should have an appropriate title for the study design, for example: “randomized controlled trial”, or “what is the effectWhatfactor X on subject Y?”

Communication reports: (maximum 3000 words)
Communication articles are short articles that present groundbreaking preliminary findings or important findings that are part of a larger study over several years. It may also include advanced methods or experiments, and the development of new technology or materials. The structure is similar to a research article: (introduction – results – discussion – materials and methods)

2- Manuscripts that are not subject to peer review:
Opinion:
They are short articles that reflect the author’s views on a particular topic, technique, or recent findings. They should highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the topic presented in the opinion.
