PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY AND CONSENT TO PARTICIPATION
Manuscripts reporting human studies must contain statements indicating that informed, written consent has been obtained (unless waived by the IRB/ethics committee) and that studies have been performed according to the Declaration of Helsinki. If individuals might be identified from a publication (e.g., from images), the authors must obtain explicit written consent from the individual. All case reports must include a statement of release or other written form of approval from the patient or patients indicating that they approve publication of the details of their case.
