Line 7:7 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong> Resnick and Niwayama criteria</strong>'

Prefix Hyphens

warning

"However, this represents end-stage DISH and others ²⁷ have suggested using a vertebral span of three or even two levels in the setting of prominent extra-spinal enthesopathy. Other criticism includes that only axial manifestations form part of these criteria ²⁴."

Line 14:163 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'extra-spinal'.

Acronyms

warning

"controversial as some studies have shown ALL not to be involved ²³"
