Units

error

"increased bone turnover, especially skull and long bones (^99mTc MDP bone scan)"

Line 70:71 · Put a space between the number and the unit in '99mTc'.

Isotope Notation

error

"increased bone turnover, especially skull and long bones (^99mTc MDP bone scan)"

Line 70:71 · Write the isotope as symbol-mass, e.g. F-18, not '99mTc'.

Sulfur Spelling

error

"increased haemopoietic activity (sulphur colloid scan)"

Line 71:41 · Use the 'f' spelling: 'sulfur' rather than 'sulphur'.

Colons

warning

"mast cells in the bone marrow, blood, or another extracutaneous organ express one or more of the following: CD2, CD25, or CD30"

Line 11:114 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': CD2, CD25'.

List Caps

warning

"B, high burden of disease (without organ dysfunction)"

Line 49:4 · In general, we don't start a list item with a capital letter. Exceptions are proper nouns.
