Semicolons

suggestion

"Gelastic seizures begin at an early age (2-7 years) and are typically drug-resistant ^8,11. Semiologically, they are of short duration (2-30 seconds) and are characterised by uncontrollable mirthless laughter ^8,11, without impairment of consciousness; this contrasts with frontotemporal gelastic seizures that are usually longer lasting and can result in loss of consciousness ⁴. While gelastic seizures are typical, other seizure semiologies (e.g. dacrystic seizures) can also occur ^8,11. Very rarely children with hypothalamic hamartomas can enter into 'status gelasticus' ⁴."

Line 6:275 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"A hamartoma is a focal malformation that resembles (but is not) a neoplasm (cf. other CNS neoplasms); it is not a malignant tumour, and it is composed of tissue elements normally found at that site that grow in a disorganised mass."

Line 10:118 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Line 88:222 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"gelastic is a term often used in medical terminology to indicate an association of a symptom or syndrome with laughter; the word originates from the Greek “gelaein”, which means “to laugh”"
