Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Bowel and mesenteric trauma can result from blunt force, penetrating and iatrogenic trauma. CT is the gold standard imaging modality, but CT findings are nonspecific ¹²."

Line 1:71 · Use the Oxford comma in 'force, penetrating and iatrogenic'.

"The bowel and mesentery are injured in ~2.5% (range 0.3-5%) of blunt force abdominal trauma ^1,3,5,8. However, not surprisingly, bowel and mesenteric injuries are more frequent after penetrating trauma ⁸. Bowel injury has consistently been found to be the most common traumatic abdominopelvic injury missed on CT ¹¹."

Line 3:129 · Use the Oxford comma in 'surprisingly, bowel and mesenteric'.

"Gunshot wounds (~75%) and stabbings (~20%) are the leading causes of bowel and mesenteric injury from penetrating trauma ⁸. Motor vehicle collisions are the most common cause of blunt trauma, followed by falls, assaults and sports-related trauma ^4,6."

Line 6:226 · Use the Oxford comma in 'falls, assaults and sports'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"mural haematoma: discontinuity in the bowel wall with mural thickening (>3-4 mm); may be complete (i.e. perforated) or incomplete ^2,4"
