1. Case reports document clinical observations of individual patients and are an important part of medical education and scientific publication.
2. A case report should provide detailed information about a patient's symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes in order to communicate an unusual or unknown medical condition.
3. Key elements of an effective case report include an informative title, structured abstract, introduction describing the relevance of the case, detailed case presentation, discussion of the case in relation to previous literature, and a concise conclusion.
1. Case Report Writing? It's Easy If You Do It Smart
Medical Case reports (or the case study or the case history) disseminate clinical
practices, examines clinical scenarios, and illustrates a diagnostic or therapeutic
problem experienced by one or several patients. MCRs can be from any area of
medicine, nursing, dentistry, and veterinary science.
Case reports are defined as the scientific documentation of a single clinical
observation and have a time-honored and rich tradition in medicine and
scientific publication. Pubrica has extensive experience in developing a detailed
clinical case report that highlights the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment and
follow-up of an individual patient.
2. They should discuss investigations undertaken in order to determine a diagnosis
or differentiate between possible diagnoses and should indicate the course of
treatment the patient underwent as a result. As a whole, then, case Studies should
be an informative and useful part of every physician's medical education, both
during training and on a continuing basis. Another important general rule for
writing case report studies is to stick to the facts. A case study should be a fairly
modest description of what actually happened. Speculation about underlying
mechanisms of the disease process or treatment should be restrained.
So, what is the Medical Case report?
Clinical case reporting is communicating to the medical fraternity about an
unusual or previously unknown condition, a rare presentation or a new
complication of a known disease, or a new approach for curing a common
disease. It can also be said as a detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis,
treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient.
Why should a Medical case report be published?
Many reputed and renowned journals publish MCRs for the following among
other reasons:
● A clinical case report which illustrates the appropriate use of an
important clinical guideline or systematic review
● A new and unexpected association between diseases or symptoms
● An unexpected new observation found during the treatment of a
patient
● A clinical case illustrating an important best practice teaching message
● An adverse effect or any finding that sheds light on the possible
pathogenesis of a disease
● Rare and unique features of a disease
3. ● Variations of anatomical structures
● Unique therapeutic approaches
● A common disease presenting in a different and uncommon way
Our case Reporting Writing Services include
● Develop an informative title that attracts reader interest following
nominal and compound. Titles in general follow JCCA instructions
with a keyword from a standard list such as MeSH (medical subject
headings)
● Abstract: We clearly summarize the paper into a story which flows
logically. We follow one of two styles, narrative or structure. We adhere
to the JCAA recommendation for case studies such as structured
abstract that consists of Introduction, case presentation, management
and outcome, and discussion.
● Introduction: A brief introduction and our objective is to have the
reader understand clearly, but in a general sense.
● Case presentation: emphasize on raw data such as complaints that
brought the patient in a narrative format, summarize the results of
questioning, describe the results of clinical examination.
● Management and outcome: finally, plan for case as well as the care
which was actually provided and the outcome
● Discussion: identify any questions that the case report raises along
with summarizing the lessons learned from this case.
● Acknowledgement and references: highlight assistance with the
preparation, and references that actually used to support the case
study.
4. ● Legends, Tables, figures and permissions will be also being included as
part of the case study.
What are the key elements to be incorporated into a CCR?

publication in reputed journals.
● The given title should precisely reflect the case with a list of the full

should be structured into Background,an introduction,case
