"Adrenal gland hyperenhancement has been described in paediatric and small adult series or individual cases of haemorrhagic shock, pancreatitis, sepsis and trauma 1-3 but has not been demonstrated in larger series of adult patients with traumatic hypoperfusion 4."

Line 3:144 · Use the Oxford comma in 'pancreatitis, sepsis and trauma'.
