Generative AI Use Declaration
When authors use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, these technologies should only be used to improve readability and language of the work, and not to replace key authoring tasks such as producing scientific or medical insights or drawing scientific conclusions. The authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work. The authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their manuscript before the Reference section.
References
References follow Vancouver referencing style with a digital object identifier (DOI) number at the end of each reference. The reference in the main article should be numbered according to its appearance in the text and placed in the upper right-hand corner (superscript without bracket) if multiple references are cited simultaneously in consecutive order, use (-) between the numbers of references. If multiple references are cited simultaneously but not in consecutive order, use (,) between the numbers of references.
At the end of the article, references should be listed in consecutive order as they appeared in the text. All references must have the DOI at the end.
