The contact phone number of the author(s) for communication with the editorial board should also be indicated.

An article sent by e-mail does not exempt the author from the need to send the entire required package of documents in hard copy to the editorial board.

SIZE OF THE ARTICLE

The text of the article (the length of original articles, including figures, literature, abstracts, should not exceed 10 A4 pages (up to 5000 words) and may vary depending on the type of article).

- list of references (if the article contains references): for literature reviews - no more than 50 literary sources, for original and other articles - no more than 20;

- Tables ( not more than 5);

- Figures ( not more than 5) and captions to them.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

In the "Materials and methods" section, the organization of the research (design) should be thoroughly described.

The description of the research in the "Materials and methods" section should include the following details:

- Specify the research design, such as cross-sectional, longitudinal (prospective or retrospective), case-control, etc.

- Describe the inclusion and exclusion criteria for participants in the study.

- Indicate whether randomization was used and provide details about the methodology if applicable.

- Mention whether masking (blinding) was employed when using placebos or medications in clinical trials.

- Provide a detailed description of the equipment and diagnostic technologies used, including their key technical specifications and manufacturers.

- Include the names of commercial assay kits for hormonal and biochemical assays, along with the manufacturer and reference values for specific parameters.

- When using widely accepted research methods, provide appropriate references from the literature.

- Specify the precise international names of all drugs and chemical substances used, along with doses and administration methods (routes of administration).

In articles dedicated to original clinical research, it is essential to mention the presence of informed consent from patients for medical interventions. The research protocol should be approved by the local ethics committee.

The authors are responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Declaration of Helsinki ‘Guidelines for the Use of Human Subjects in Biomedical Research’ (1964, revised 1983), Directive 2001/20/ EU of the European Parliament and of the EU Council of 04.04.2001 (as amended).

In experimental work, it is necessary to indicate the type and number of animals used, as well as the methods of anaesthesia and euthanasia.

An integral component of the "Materials and Methods" section is a detailed description of the data analysis procedure. It is mandatory to specify the significance level "α" adopted in the specific study (e.g., "a critical significance level of 0.05 was used for hypothesis testing"). When determining the critical significance level, the issue of multiple comparisons should be considered. In each specific case, the actual significance level "p" achieved for the used statistical test should be reported (not just "p<0.05" or "p>0.05"). In addition, it is necessary to indicate the specific values of the obtained parametric and non-parametric statistical criteria (for example, Student's t test for parametric criteria, criteria χ2, Pφ, Pu, etc. for non-parametric criteria).

Definitions of all used statistical terms, abbreviations, and symbols should be provided, for example: M - sample mean; m (SEM) - standard error of the mean; SD - standard deviation; p - achieved level of statistical significance. When using expressions like "M±m," the values of each symbol and the sample size (n) should be specified. The precision of the mean can exceed that of the primary measure by no more than one decimal place (i.e., if the primary measure is reported to one decimal place, the mean value should be presented to no more than two decimal places). However, the standard error of the mean or standard deviation should be reported to one decimal place more than the mean. The name and version of the software packages and environments used for data analysis should be specified.

When working on the manuscript, authors should adhere to the ethics of scholarly citation. In references, the primary source should be cited with the following information: title, publication, year, volume, issue, and page numbers.

All symbols and formulas mentioned in the article should be properly defined and explained. Measurements should be provided in SI units and Celsius scale.

Abbreviations for individual words and terms should be avoided, except for commonly accepted abbreviations for units of measurement, physical, chemical, and mathematical quantities. Abbreviations should not be used in the title, conclusions and summary of the article. The full term, followed by the abbreviation, should precede the first use of the abbreviation in the text (unless it is a standard unit of measurement).

Chemical elements should be denoted by their respective symbols. Simple inorganic compounds should be indicated using chemical formulas. Organic compound names can be replaced with formulas if they are shorter than the name and clearly illustrate their structure.

Mixed abbreviations that include both Cyrillic letters and chemical element symbols in Latin transcription should be avoided. In such cases, the entire abbreviation should be written either in Latin letters or in Cyrillic without abbreviations. The manuscript text and abstract should not be overloaded with conditional abbreviations.

Additionally, if the cited literature contains five or more authors, this list should include all surnames without exception. If there are references to foreign publications in the list, they should be repeated in the list, but punctuation should be in accordance with the APA international standard.
