Lint: oligodendroglioma

oligodendroglioma
En Dash
error

"Oligodendroglioma is considered the third most common glioma accounting for 2–5% of primary brain tumours and 5–18% of all glial neoplasms 8."

Line 10:81 · Use a hyphen-minus ('-') instead of an en-dash ('–').

"Oligodendroglioma is considered the third most common glioma accounting for 2–5% of primary brain tumours and 5–18% of all glial neoplasms 8."

Line 10:115 · Use a hyphen-minus ('-') instead of an en-dash ('–').
Headings Spacing
error

"Pathology "

Line 15:1 · Never put spaces at either end of headings.
Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Post-contrast CT"

Line 44:5 · 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-contrast'.
Strong List Colon Position
error

"T1: typically hypointense"

Line 51:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1: </strong>typically'

"T2: typically hyperintense (except calcified areas)"

Line 52:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T2: </strong>typically'

"GRE/SWI: calcium can be seen as areas of "blooming""

Line 53:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>GRE/SWI: </strong>calcium'

"T1 C+ (Gd): contrast enhancement is common but it is not a reliable indicator of tumour grade, with only 50% of oligodendrogliomas enhancing to a variable degree, and usually heterogeneously"

Line 54:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1 C+ (Gd): </strong>contrast'
Isotope Notation
error

"11C-methionine studies can be used to differentiate oligodendrogliomas from anaplastic oligodendrogliomas. FDG uptake of oligodendrogliomas is similar to normal white matter. FDG uptake of anaplastic oligodendrogliomas is similar to normal grey matter."

Line 72:9 · Write the isotope as symbol-mass, e.g. F-18, not '11C'.
Acronyms
warning

"TERT promoter mutation"

Line 35:11 · 'TERT' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"MR perfusion (PWI)"

Line 63:26 · 'PWI' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

There Is
suggestion

"Oligodendrogliomas are usually tumours of middle-aged adults, occurring most commonly in the 4th and 5th decades of life, somewhat older for grade 3 tumours 10,11. There is a slight male predilection (M:F 1.3:1) 10."

Line 11:201 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The vast majority of oligodendrogliomas arise in the cerebral hemispheres, with brainstem, cerebellum and spinal cord being distinctly uncommon 9."

Line 17:84 · Use the Oxford comma in 'brainstem, cerebellum and spinal'.

"Tumours are of mixed density (hypodense to isodense). High-attenuation areas within the tumour are likely from calcification (70-90% of oligodendrogliomas are calcified) or, less commonly, haemorrhage. Calcification can be located centrally, peripherally or can be ribbon-like 4. The overlying skull may show pressure remodelling."

Line 43:235 · Use the Oxford comma in 'centrally, peripherally or can'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"DWI can be used to help differentiate oligodendrogliomas (generally lower grade) from astrocytomas (generally higher grade); astrocytomas have higher ADC values probably because of their lower cellularity and greater hyaluronan proportion 5"

Line 59:131 · Use semicolons judiciously.
