Author Response
1. Line 23: stomach was listed independent from GI tract, which seems redundant.
Response: Removed stomach, thank you.
2. Line 34 might read more clearly if the word “formation” was removed.
Response: Removed stomach, thank you.
3. Line 35 might read more clearly if altered from “are associated to acquired” to something like “are associated with acquired”
Response: changed, thank you.
4. Table 1: I like the idea of a single graphic presenting this type of summary; however, the graphic was somewhat difficult to follow due to the numerous acronyms used (even though they were detailed in the legend).
Response: author rely on final editor decision. Thank you,
5. Line 57: I am not sure what the asterisk is referencing
Response: It was a mistake, removed thank you.
6. Line 66 & 67 consider the verb “supplies” instead of “give off for” and “ran” to make sentence easier to read
Response: changed verb in several sentences. Thank you.
7. Line 90: The word “systematically” was likely meant to read “systemically”
Response: It was a mistake. Now changed, thank you.
8. Fig 4: The yellow labels on the yellow surfaces are difficult to read
Response:
9. Line 166: “ad” is likely meant to read “as”
Response: yes, thank you .
10. Line 170: Is CM intended to be contrast medium? Consider writing the words out for clarity.
Response: I agree. Now written out.
I noticed some spacing inconsistencies between periods and numbered references in the text throughout the document.
Response: yes, thank you.
Regarding overall content, the review is very clear and well-referenced.
