Lint: inspissated-secretions

Prefix Hyphens
warning

"May be hyper-attenuating due to calcific components"

Line 4:11 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'hyper-attenuating'.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Inspissated secretions refers to thickened secretions with increased viscosity within ducts or body cavities (usually nasal, paranasal sinus, oral or ductal) that usually become thickened by dehydration (typically a chronic process). The secretions can then cause obstruction to respective airways or ducts. Some inspissated secretions may become calcified resulting in dystrophic calcification."

Line 1:166 · Use the Oxford comma in 'sinus, oral or ductal'.
