It is prohibited to publish any information that allows the identification of the patient (to indicate his name, initials, numbers of medical records in photographs, when compiling written descriptions and pedigrees), except in cases where it is of great scientific value and the patient (his parents or guardians) has given informed written consent to this. Upon receipt of consent, this should be reported in the published article.

It is MANDATORY to specify the ORCID for all authors. If there is no ORCID number, it must be obtained by registering on the website https://orcid.org/

To date, this is the only way to uniquely identify the personality of a scientist, especially in situations where the full names of the authors match.
