    It looks something like brochure of the product rather than an article.

    References are not cited properly within the manuscript.

     

    This manuscript is not a review of a literature as just 4 references are given.

  • Other Comments:
    1. This manuscript is not a review of a literature as just 4 references are given. 
    3. References are not cited properly within the manuscript.
    4. If we consider it to be published as "clinician's corner" even then it has to follow a proper format of journal, which I doubt is followed. Furthermore, it does not contain any good enough information regarding incognito system.  
    5. Headings and text does not match at all. 
    6. It looks something like brochure of the product rather than an article.
    7. Typographical and grammar mistakes are also there.
