Risk of bias in standard and autobiographical case reports in medicine

What is the extent of bias risk between standard and autobiographical case reports in medicine and is there any medical journal (indexed or not indexed in MEDLINE) publishing or having a history of publishing autobiographical case reports?

Besides the ethics, this case report can be controlled and criticized by others officially, in order to be approved.

Surely, there is the risk of exaggeration, but this depends on an author's ethics.

Hello Srdjan Nikolovski

I totally agree with Theodore John Drizis that such case reports intuitively (and inherently) would be biased and/or exaggerated.

There are not any journals that are specifically dedicated to these reports but lots of journals have such cases. There are some issues for journals themed this way so that a whole issue is dedicated to this idea.

I was recently invited to be a speaker at a conference but it seems rather strange. I had to pay USD 700 for registration. The website is beautiful, and it is organized by this "Longdom Conferences" which apparently works in the production of many other conferences. They insisted that I registered quickly and the contact was through my whatsapp (I provided my phone number when I had to make a pre-registration, but they never mentioned they would contact this way...). When I mentioned the high price for an unknown conference, they kept giving me discounts and insisting that I register soon. Well, there are names of professors from universities all over the world. I checked this "Longdom Conferences" and it is on the recent Dolos List of predatory conferences:

To be honest, I was not even aware this list existed. The conference name is: " New Frontiers in Renewable Energy and Resources" and this is their website:
