Adjectival Hyphens

error

"In addition, cardiac MRI has the ability to assess the myocardium regarding concomitant myocarditis and viability in a post-myocardial infarction setting or to detect myocardial infarction, if previously unknown."

Line 113:137 · 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-myocardial'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Pericarditis is defined as inflammation of the pericardium. It is normally found in association with cardiac, thoracic or wider systemic pathology and it is unusual to manifest on its own."

Line 1:129 · Use the Oxford comma in 'cardiac, thoracic or wider'.

"Aetiologies can be divided into infectious (viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic) and non-infectious causes (autoimmune, neoplastic and metabolic), with infections accounting for two-thirds of cases and non-infectious causes for the remaining third ^1,5."

Line 58:55 · Use the Oxford comma in 'bacterial, fungal and parasitic'.
