Strong List Colon Position

error

"T1: isointense or hypointense"

Line 129:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T1: isointense'

"T1 C+ (Gd): intense enhancement"

Line 130:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T1 C+ (Gd): intense'

"T2: heterogeneously hyperintense (Antoni type A: relatively low; Antoni type B: high)"

Line 132:4 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T2: heterogeneously'

"T2*: larger tumours often have areas of haemosiderin"

Line 135:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T2*: larger'

Strong

warning

"There is also schwannomatosis, which consists of multiple schwannomas without the concomitant involvement of cranial nerve VIII."

Line 11:42 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'which consists of multiple schwannomas without the concomitant involvement of cranial nerve VIII'

Colons

warning

"Conventional schwannomas are composed of spindle cells that demonstrate two growth patterns: Antoni type A and Antoni type B ^7-9."

Line 50:95 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': Antoni type'.

"Associations"

Line 9:1 · "Associations" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Pathology").

"Subtypes"

Line 53:1 · "Subtypes" is not a recognised heading for this article type.

There Is

suggestion

"The vast majority of schwannomas are sporadic, with a peak presentation in the 5^thto 6^th decades. There is no sex predilection ⁹."

Line 4:125 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

"There is also schwannomatosis, which consists of multiple schwannomas without the concomitant involvement of cranial nerve VIII."

Line 11:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Antoni type A pattern: elongated cells are thickly bundled and organised in fascicles. Palisades are occasionally observed; when they are prominent they constitute Verocay bodies. The cells also have fusiform nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm. Antoni type A is a strongly Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) positive and immunoperoxidase assay for laminin ¹⁰."

Line 51:126 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"T2: heterogeneously hyperintense (Antoni type A: relatively low; Antoni type B: high)"

Line 132:84 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"most commonly found arising from large nerves, brachial and lumbosacral plexus and thus often in a paravertebral location"

Line 65:47 · Use the Oxford comma in 'nerves, brachial and lumbosacral'.
