BRIEF
A case report describes a symptoms, signs,
patient's  diagnosis, therapy, and 
follow-up.
Case reports often describe a unique or unexpected event, 
 and as a result, they remain one of the foundations of  
medical advancement, generating several new medical  
concepts.
Some papers provide a comprehensive evaluation of the  
relevant literature.
The clinical cases in the medicine case report is a quick  
way for busy doctors to communicate when they don't have  
the time or resources to undertake large-scale research.
INTRODUC
TION
For many clinicians and other healthcare professionals,  w 
riting a case report is their first attempt at having papers  
published in medical journals, and it is seen as a valuable  
exercise in learning how to write scientifically because the  
process is comparable.
The purpose of medical case study report writing of case  
reports is to communicate a clinical message.
Regardless of the case report, they all attempt to improve the  
reader's understanding of the disease's clinical
presentations, diagnostic approach (with a focus on imaging  
modalities for case reports published in medical  
imaging/radiology publications), or treatment options.

As a result, a case report 
worth reading should have both practical and valuable  messages.
Although some consider writing a medical case report the lowest level of proof in
the medical  literature, they allowfor  the anecdotal sharing of personal  of
experiences, which are critical information foroptimal
 treatment. sources patient
Randomized controlled trials are at the top of the evidence-based medicine  
hierarchy, followed by systematic reviews and meta-analyses, prospective  
experimental trials, observational studies, case-control studies, case series, finally 
 observational studies, case–control studies, and case-control studies series.

The majority of authors are now familiar with the impact factor of journals to  
which they submit their work.
Because case reports are rarely mentioned, publishing c linical case report in  W 
riting Services lower the journal's impact factor. As a result, several editors  
have decided to eliminate case report sections from their publications.
THE REASONS FOR 
PUBLISHING  A CASE 
REPORT
The medical case study report writing are the most  
prevalent causes for publicizing a case: 1) an  
unanticipated link between illnesses or symptoms; 2)  
an unexpected occurrence when watching or treating a 
 patient; 3) discoveries that give insight on the  
pathophysiology of a disease or a negative  
consequence; 4) Characteristics of an illness that are  
distinctive or uncommon; 5) Differentiated therapeutic  
techniques; anatomical structural variation
The majority of journals publish case reports on one  
or more of the following topics:
Unusual observations
Adverse therapy reactions
Unusual combo of situations causing confusion
Illustration of a new theory  
Question about an existing theory 
 Personal influence

Pubrica's team of researchers and authors develop Scientific and medical
 research papers that can beindispensable tools to the practitioner/authors.
Our professionals understand the framework that follows the broad topic,  
problem, and background, and then moves on to a more specific topic to  
establish the hypothesis.

STRUCTURE OF A CASE 
REPORT
Clinical observation case reports are formatted  
differently in various publications.
It's usually good to read a few cases reports from the  
target journals to understand the sequence and  
structure.
An abstract, an introduction, a case, and a discussion  
are all standard components of all case reports. Some  
publications may require a literature review.
ABSTRA
CTThe case, the problem it solves, and the message it sends should all be
summarised in the abstract.
C asestudyabstracts are generally relatively concise, no more than
150  words in length.
INTRODUC
TION
The introduction provides a high-level summary of  
the subject addressed in the case, citing relevant  
literature as needed.
In most cases, the introduction concludes with a  
single statement summarising the patient and the  
whole situation that they are experiencing.
CAS
EThis section provides the details of the case in the following order:
Patient description
Case history
Physical examination results
Results of pathological tests and other investigations 
 Treatment plan
The expected outcome of the treatment plan 
 Actual outcome.
DISCUSS
ITOhis Nis the essentialsegment of the case report; it is the  
section that establishes the journal that the case is well-  
intentionedfor publishing.
This part should begin by building on what was discussed in 
 the introduction, concentrating on why the case is  
significant and its problem.
After that, there is a synopsis of the extant literature on the  
subject.
The existing hypotheses and research findings on the  
significant issue in the patient's condition are described in  
this section.
The investigation should focus on the cause of uncertainty or the case's principal  
problem.
Finally, the m edical case report writing service should be associated with local  
literature, with the message sent by the mentioned case.
The author should discuss if this research supports or contradicts existing  
assumptions about the condition and how this evidence might benefit future  
clinical practice.
CONCLUS
ION
Depending on the journal's structure, a case report  
finish with a conclusion or summary of ideas.
This segment should summarise the main points  
discussed in the case report.
The author might offer advice and recommendations to 
 physicians, instructors, and researchers in this  
section.
Some journals do not need a distinct conclusion  
section; instead, it might be the final paragraph of the  
Discussion section.
ABOUT 
PUBRICA
P ubrica medical writers help you write and edit  
the introduction by introducing the reader to the  
shortcomings or empty spaces in the identified  
research field.
Our experts are aware of the structure that  
follows the broad topic, the problem, and  
background and advance to a narrow topic to  
state the hypothesis.
