Semicolons
suggestion

"Chylothoraces may present with variable pleural fluid appearance and biochemical characteristics; they are usually exudative. Gross appearance of the fluid is generally considered not a sensitive diagnostic criterion for a identifying chylothorax. A non-milky appearance is common (i.e. can occur in over 50% of cases 6). Chylous effusions can rarely be transudative (especially in patients with cirrhosis)."
