Adjectival Hyphens

error

"The typical clinical presentation is chest pain (e.g. angina pectoris or atypical angina) or other symptoms such as dyspnoea on exertion. Symptoms might be provoked by emotional stress or a variable threshold of physical activity or palpitations. Chest pain might persist for a longer time period after physical activity or in the post-exercise recovery period or at rest. Moreover, it might show a slow response or even worsen to sublingual short-acting nitrates ^2-4."

Line 33:335 · 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-exercise'.

Line 44:313 · In a number range, there should not be spaces around the hyphen ('0 -2').

Isotope Notation

error

"PET-CT and PET-MR can quantify myocardial blood flow [mL/g/min] and demonstrate a reduction of myocardial flow reserve after intravenous injection of different flow tracers as ¹³N-ammonia, ⁸²Rubidium or ¹⁵O-water ^1-6."

Line 108:185 · Write the isotope as symbol-mass, e.g. F-18, not '13N'.
