Strong List Colon Position

error

"grade 1: precursor state to cutaneous ulceration with skin erythema that does not blanch under fingertip pressure"

Line 26:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'grade 1: precursor'

"grade 2: partial-thickness erosion of dermis presenting as a superficial pink wound"

Line 27:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'grade 2: partial'

"grade 3: full-thickness skin erosion with possible extension to subcutaneous fat or fascias"

Line 28:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'grade 3: full'

"grade 4: full-thickness tissue necrosis with exposure of bone, muscle, tendons, or joint capsules"

Line 29:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'grade 4: full'

List Punctuation

error

"pressure irrigation using high-pressure water jets."

Line 51:54 · Do not put full stops at the end of a list item.

Litotes

warning

"Ultrasound is hard to perform on pressure ulcers because of gas, paraosteopathy changes, and skin thickness that does not allow ultrasound beam penetration ⁶. It may show fluid collections or abscess, but does not visualise fistulous tracts, bone, or joint involvement ⁶."

Line 35:122 · Consider using 'prevented' instead of 'not allow'

"Classification"

Line 23:1 · "Classification" should be H2, not H1.

Commas

suggestion

"More than 100 risk factors are identified in the literature, and the most important ones to assess are impaired mobility and sensory perception, moisture, malnutrition, low activity, friction, and shear ³."

Line 5:63 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

"Pressure ulcer results from sustained hypoperfusion and ischaemia, associated with a local inflammatory reaction and bacterial colonisation of the upper layers of the skin, extending progressively to the deeper layers leading to skin erosions, loss of all skin layers, necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue, and eventually necrosis of muscles, tendons, and bone."

Line 9:69 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"static or dynamic surfaces like cushions, foam, air or fluid-filled mattresses, air fluidized beds, pneumatic ripple beds"

Line 58:50 · Use the Oxford comma in 'foam, air or fluid'.
