"Pathophysiologic “profiles,” based on standardised patterns of artifacts are then built, and a tentative pathophysiologic basis for the acute respiratory failure proposed. The chief aim of the protocol is to suggest a diagnosis with a target overall accuracy just over 90% (90.5%) with a simple, easy-to-purchase machine and a single, universal probe, without Doppler or other amenities."

Line 9:21 · Commas and periods go outside quotation marks (in nearly all circumstances).
