Conflict of interest notification page

To prevent the information on potential conflict of interest for authors from being overlooked or misplaced, it is necessary for that information to be part of the manuscript. It should therefore also be included on a separate page or pages immediately following the title page.

2.Abstract

It should be written up to 350 words and must contains following headings

Background: It should be brief.

Objective: [write main objective]

Methodology: [main methods]

Results: [important results]

Conclusion: [based on findings]

Keywords: [Must be used from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) list of Index Medicus should be used]

3. Introduction

Provide a context or background for the study (i.e.,the nature of the problem and its significance). State
the specific purpose or research objective of, or hypothesis tested by, the study or observation; the research objective is often more sharply focused when stated as a question. Both the main and secondary objectives should be made clear, and any pre-specified subgroup analyses should be described. Give only strictly pertinent references and do not include data or conclusions from the work being reported.

4. Materials and methods

The Methods section should include only information that was available at the time the plan or protocol for the study was written; all information obtained during the conduct of the study belongs in the Results section.

(a) Selection and Description of Participants Describe your selection of the observational or experimental participants (patients or laboratory animals, including controls) clearly, including eligibility and exclusion criteria and a description of the source population. The guiding principle should be clarity about how and why a study was done in a particular way. When authors use variables such as race or ethnicity, they should define how they measured the variables and justify their relevance.

(c) Statistical analysis

Describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. When possible, quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence intervals). Define statistical terms, abbreviations, and most symbols. Specify the computer soft-ware used.

5. Results

Tables capture information concisely, and display it efficiently; they also provide information at any desired level of detail and precision. Including data in tables rather than text frequently makes it possible to reduce the length of the text. Type or print each table with double spacing on a separate sheet of paper. Number tables consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text and supply a brief title for each. Do not use internal horizontal or vertical lines. Give each column a short or abbreviated heading. Authors should place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. Be sure that each table is cited in the text.

 Illustrations (Figures)
Figures should be either professionally drawn/photo-graphed, or submitted as photographic quality digital prints. In addition to requiring a version of the figures suitable for printing, Asian Journal of Allied Health Sciences asks authors for electronic files of figures in a format (e.g., JPEG or GIF) that will produce high quality images in the web version of the journal; authors should review the images. For x-ray films, scans.

Legends for Illustrations (Figures)

Type or print out legends for illustrations using double spacing, starting on a separate page, with numerals corresponding to the illustrations. When symbols, arrows, numbers, or letters are used to identify parts of the illustrations, identify and explain each one clearly in the legend. and well as pictures of pathology specimens or photomicrographs, send sharp, glossy, black-and-white or color photo-graphic prints, usually 127 x 173 mm (5 x 7 inches). Letters, numbers, and symbols on Figures should therefore be clear and even throughout, and of sufficient size that when reduced for publication each item will still be legible. Figures should be made as self-explanatory as possible, since many will be used directly in slide presentations. Titles and de-tailed explanations belong in the legends, however, not on the illustrations themselves.
Photomicrographs should have internal scale markers. Symbols, arrows, or letters used in photomicrographs should contrast with the background. If photographs of people are used, either the subjects must not be identifiable or their pictures must be accompanied by written permission to use the photograph. When-ever possible permission for publication should be obtained. Figures should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they have been first cited in the text.

 Units of Measurement

Measurements of length, height, weight, and volume should be reported in metric units (meter, kilogram, or liter) or their decimal multiples. Temperatures should be in degrees Celsius. Blood pressures should be in millimeters of mercury, unless other units are specifically required.

 6. Discussion
Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from them. For experimental studies it is useful to begin the discussion by summarizing briefly the main findings, then explore possible mechanisms or explanations for these findings, compare and contrast the results with other relevant studies, state the limitations of the study, and explore the implications of the findings for future research and for clinical practice. Link the conclusions with the goals of the study but avoid ambiguous statements and conclusions not adequately supported by the data. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work
that has not been completed. State new hypotheses when warranted.

(a) General Considerations Related to References Although references to review articles can be an efficient way of guiding readers to a body of literature, review articles do not always reflect original work accurately. Small numbers of references to key original papers will often serve. Avoid using abstracts as references. References to papers accepted but not yet published should be designated as "in press" authors should obtain written permission to cite such papers as well as verification that they have been accepted for publication. Information from manuscripts submitted but not accepted should be cited in the text as "unpublished observations" with written permission from the source. Avoid citing a "personal communication" unless it provides essential information not available from a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of communication should be cited in parentheses in the text. For scientific articles, authors should obtain written permission and confirmation of accuracy from the source of a personal communication.

(b) Reference Style and Format Vancouver referencing style conform to the ICMJE:(https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_require ments.html). Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). References should be cited in consecutive numerical order as first mentioned in the text. References appearing in a table or figure should be numbered sequentially with those in text. Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. If there are more than six authors, write et al after the first six names. The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus (published by the National Library of Medicine).

Abbreviations and Symbols
Use only standard abbreviations; the use of nonstandard abbreviations can be extremely confusing to readers. Avoid abbreviations in the title. The full term for which an abbreviations stand should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard. unit of measurement.
