Preparation

For the preparation and online submission of your abstract please make sure to read carefully the following guidelines before proceeding with the preparation and submission of your abstract. When you are ready for the submission, please proceed with the completion of the Online Abstract/Case Submission Form.

Guidelines

• The official language of the Congress will be English, so all abstracts must be prepared, submitted and presented in English.
• The Abstract/Case Submission Form should be completed by the author who will be responsible for all correspondence (correct email is really important).
• Length: Abstracts / Cases (text body) should not exceed 400 words. When a tableis included, then the text body should not exceed 350 words.
• Table(s): Table/diagram/picture should be saved as an image file (jpeg, gif, etc.) before being uploaded (otherwise will not be uploaded successfully). Use of such graphics will automatically reduce the number of words allowed (it should correspond to 50 words and must be included in the limitation of 250 words in order to fit the size of an A4 paper). A maximum of two (2) images can be included per abstract/case. The image(s) will be placed at the bottom of the text in all publications and may be resized to fit in the format of the final printed material.
• Structure: Abstracts / Cases must use the following structured format:

The abstract for original articles should be divided into the following sections:

• Background-Aim
• Methods
• Results
• Conclusions.

In the final version, the text will not be sorted into paragraphs.

The abstract for case reports should be divided into the following sections:

a) Background
b) Case report
