Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Diffusion-weighted imaging is particularly useful when distinguishing a cholesteatoma from other middle ear masses. It is the only entity that demonstrates high signal intensity on DWI. However, the sequence is prone to artifact and care must be taken how the sequence is performed and interpreted ². Non-echo planar DWI is superior for the diagnosis of cholesteatoma and is therefore preferred if it is available ⁸. DWI (especially non-EPI DWI) is particularly useful in cases of suspected post-surgical recurrence."

Line 80:517 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-surgical'.

"post-inflammatory ossicular fixation"

Line 97:8 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-inflammatory'.

"Post-operative"

Line 100:5 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Post-operative'.

Line 20:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.

"There are a number of subtypes of acquired cholesteatoma, classified by location ¹¹:"

Semicolons

suggestion

"There are four hypotheses that relate to the formation of cholesteatomas; all may be true ^1,6:"

Line 20:76 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Although MRI is unable to adequately delineate bony anatomy, it can potentially distinguish non-specific opacification from cholesteatomas. It is particularly useful in the postoperative setting when CT may be indeterminate, since granulation tissue, scarring and recurrent cholesteatoma may all appear similar ²."

Line 72:247 · Use the Oxford comma in 'tissue, scarring and recurrent'.
