error

"post-epileptic seizure"

Line 13:8 · 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-epileptic'.

"post-coitus"

Line 14:8 · 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-coitus'.

"post-exercise"

Line 15:8 · 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'.
Words We Never Use
error

"Usually, there is a correlation between prolactin levels and the size of the prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma. If the prolactin level is unexpectedly low given the size of the tumour, consider "hook effect", which is an artefact on some assays. Various techniques can be used to avoid this 12."

Line 91:229 · Radiopaedia always uses 'artifact' rather than 'artefact'.

Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Historically, determining whether elevated levels of prolactin were due to monomeric prolactin (which is biologically active and suggests underlying abnormal secretion) or macroprolactin was challenging, time-consuming, expensive, and thus not widely available. However, cheap and fast methods have become available (e.g. polythene glycol precipitation), and more laboratories are now able to make this important clinical distinction 7,10."

Line 6:266 · Use the Oxford comma in 'However, cheap and fast'.

"wide range of causes (stress, medications, hypothyroidism, liver or renal disease, pregnancy)"

Line 57:54 · Use the Oxford comma in 'hypothyroidism, liver or renal'.
Inline EG
suggestion

"When due to dysfunction of the normal infundibular portal circulation, hyperprolactinaemia may be associated with other endocrinological abnormalities (e.g. hypothyroidism - Pickardt syndrome)."

Line 19:155 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
Parentheses
suggestion

"Similarly, dopamine antagonists (such as the antipsychotics haloperidol and chlorpromazine) as well as a long list of other drugs ⁠- including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-I) and some tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), and verapamil ⁠- can cause hyperprolactinaemia 1,11."

Line 21:36 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.
