Lint: thyrotoxicosis

Strong
warning

"Although commonly done, thyrotoxicosis should not be confused with, nor is it synonymous with hyperthyroidism. The latter term solely means that a patient has abnormally-elevated thyroid hormone levels, and maybe subclinical. This may in turn lead to overt symptoms and signs, which is called thyrotoxicosis."

Line 3:28 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>thyrotoxicosis</strong>'
Litotes
warning

"In subclinical thyrotoxicosis (normal serum free T4 and T3 with low TSH), the patient may not have any symptoms."

Line 15:94 · Consider using 'lack(s)' instead of 'not have'
Oxford Comma
suggestion

suggestion

"There are multiple causes of thyrotoxicosis 1:"

Line 19:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.

"excessive exogenous thyroid hormone iatrogenesis or ingestion (e.g. hamburger thyrotoxicosis, thyrotoxicosis factitia)"
