Biomedical Science template for 2021 conference
Template:
Abstract text less than 400 words, typed in Arial 12 point type size with single line spacing. Figures cannot be accepted.
Titles of abstracts should where appropriate:
-
give the type of animal used (common name or genus, including man).
-
state if the preparation made use of anaesthesia
-
state that isolated tissues were used.
-
Please name your word document “Biomedical,Category,Last name” e.g. Biomedical, Donegan, O’Halloran.doc or Biomedical, Poster, Jackson.doc
Where appropriate:
· state the species and anaesthesia used. If experiments have been carried out in vitro, this should be clearly stated and the tissue named.
· state that ethical committee approval was obtained for experiments on human subjects.
· for experiments performed on anaesthetized animals, include the name of the anaesthetic, its route of administration and the dose used. (In experiments involving paralysed anaesthetized animals, the abstract must provide evidence of the efficacy of the anaesthetic technique e.g. reference citation).
· include numerical data which, if presented as mean values, must include the S.D. or S.E.M.; n values should also be given. Statistical tests used should be named and the level of significance indicated where appropriate e.g. p<0.05.
· include, where possible, only those abbreviations accepted in the field. (New abbreviations should be explained within the text).
· include succinct descriptions of methods and clear descriptions of results and conclusions
