Acronyms

warning

"The TWIST score can be calculated to determine the need for ultrasound ⁸."

Line 26:11 · 'TWIST' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"normal gray-scale and Doppler US if the torsion is partial or intermittent"

Line 37:34 · 'US' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"elevated resistive index (RI >0.75) ³"

Line 56:41 · 'RI' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Grey Spelling

warning

"normal gray-scale and Doppler US if the torsion is partial or intermittent"

Line 37:11 · Radiopaedia uses the 'grey' spelling: 'grey' rather than 'gray'.

Prefix Hyphens

warning

"torted testis due to increased intra-testicular pressure"

Line 113:39 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'intra-testicular'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Initially, torsion is sufficient only to obstruct venous outflow (incomplete torsion, less than 360 degrees), resulting in the gradual increase in intratesticular pressure and resistance. Over time and with additional twisting of the cord (greater than 360 degrees), arterial inflow is also obstructed; blood flow ceases when torsion exceeds 540 degrees, and viability decreases with time ^1-3,14."

Line 30:305 · Use semicolons judiciously.
