Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The first (superior) part of the duodenum begins as a continuation of the duodenal end of the pylorus. It passes laterally to the right, superiorly and posteriorly, for approximately 5 cm, before making a sharp curve inferiorly into the superior duodenal flexure. It is intraperitoneal for the first 2-3 cm only. Relations ³:"

Line 7:141 · Use the Oxford comma in 'right, superiorly and posteriorly'.

"posteriorly: right psoas muscle, right ureter, gonadal vessels, aorta and inferior vena cava"

Line 29:77 · Use the Oxford comma in 'vessels, aorta and inferior'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"duodenal duplication: most commonly occurs at the medial wall of D2 or D3; appears as a cystic structure that does not communicate with the lumen ⁴"

Line 67:81 · Use semicolons judiciously.

suggestion

"History and etymology"

Line 69:1 · A bold element in the History and etymology section should be a person; it would be useful to have their lifespan details: '<h4>History and etymology</h4> <p><strong>Duodenum</strong> '
