The discussion must answer the problem and the purpose of writing a case report. Compare your case with existing literature. Discussion also reviews and interprets, and even finds new things that are linked or compared with existing cases. Presentation can be supported by tables or pictures. Each table or image is numbered sequentially. The table title must present the contents of the table and pictures written in the middle and include the source table or picture. At the end of the discussion, a summary of the relevant literature and clinical relevance of the case is written.
Conclusion answers the problems and the purpose of writing a case report. The conclusion is not a rewrite of the discussion.
2. ORIGINAL RESEARCH

These reports typically include randomized trials, intervention studies, cohort studies, case-control studies, epidemiologic assessments, other observational studies, surveys with high response rates, cost-effectiveness analyses and decision analyses, and studies of screening and diagnostic tests.
Each manuscript should clearly state an objective or hypothesis; the design and methods (including the study setting and dates, patients or participants with inclusion and exclusion criteria and/or participation or response rates, or data sources, and how these were selected for the study); the essential features of any interventions; the main outcome measures; the main results of the study; a comment section placing the results in context with the published literature and addressing study limitations; and the conclusions. 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 Celsius. Blood pressures should be in millimeters of mercury, unless other units are specifically required by the journal. Write the case concise and clear. Unusual abbreviations and footnotes are not permitted.
This section may be divided by subheadings. It should provide a concise and precise description of the experimental results and their interpretation.
Compare your results with previous work. Discuss the scientific of your findings. Discussion also reviews and interprets. At the end of the discussion, a summary of the relevant literature and clinical relevance of the case is written.
Consist of Conclusion and also suggestion. Conclusion should be the answer of research problem, unequivocal statement. Suggestion should be logical and appropriate.
Authors should made a conflict of interests disclosure statement or a declaration that they do not have any conflicts of interest. Such information will be held in confidence while the paper is under review and will not influence the editorial.
