Executive Summary
Write an executive summary about the current research you chose according to the assigned disorder, in around 200 words.
To craft an effective summary, follow these succinct guidelines. Begin by setting the context of the disorder in a single sentence.
Clearly state the main objective of your term paper, outlining what you aimed to investigate or achieve. Describe the symptoms,
mechanism, treatment, recommended or ongoing research studies for advancement, and data sources. Summarize the significant
findings or outcomes, highlighting crucial data or trends. Briefly state the implications of the research findings and how they relate
to the theory. Explain sources of error. Keep the abstract within the word limit, using past tense for methods and results, and
present tense for conclusions. Utilize clear, concise language and avoid jargon.
Keywords: up to give (5) keywords only, separated by commas

Diagnosis
Use this subsection to enumerate ways to confirm the
presence of the disorder. Briefly explain each. Ensure that
methods are properly labeled and explained, and new
research findings are incorporated. [4]
Treatment
Present and explain methods to treat this disorder,
including new, and on-going research. This is where you can
detail the comparison of different methods of treatment,
their statistical data, clinical findings, among others.
Results and discussion
Begin with a concise presentation of your findings,
utilizing well-captioned graphs, charts, tables, and images to
elucidate complex data. Figure 3 shows a sample chart with
proper labeling and captions.

Ensure each visual aid is properly labeled and
referred to in the text. Describe trends, patterns, and
quantitative outcomes, using descriptive statistics to support
your observations. Maintain objectivity by stating facts
without interpretation. Table 1 shows the format of a table.

Transition from results to discussion by interpreting
your findings in the context of the underlying theory.
Address each key comparison individually, comparing them
to theoretical expectations. Explain correlations or
deviations by considering experimental conditions, potential
errors, or limitations. Elaborate on any unexpected
outcomes, exploring possible explanations. Engage with
relevant literature to provide a broader context for your
results. If results align with the theory, provide insight into
the theory's validity. If deviations occur, propose potential
refinements to the theory. [2], [3], [5]
Conclusion
Compose a succinct and impactful conclusion for
your research by following these guidelines. Begin by
summarizing the key findings and results of your
experiment. Concisely restate the objectives of your research
and their achievement. Highlight the most significant
observations that align with the purpose of comparative

factors that might have influenced the outcomes but refrain
from dwelling on them extensively. Your conclusion should
leave the reader with a clear understanding of the
significance of this research, and the potential it holds for
advancing scientific knowledge.
