statistical methods used should be stated.

Results: These should be clearly and succinctly presented and only related to the methods described.Where appropriate data should be given as to the repro-ducibility of the findings. Statistical analysis should be included in this section. Due to technical reasons, images, tables and visual data should not be submitted.
