General:
- Maybe number the figures so you can refer to them in the text
- Some minor grammatical errors
- I don’t think you used the citation code correctly, because they should be superscript and has a numbered list in the reference section. Plus, I was expecting to see most citations from peer-reviewed articles instead of wikipedia.
- Overall I think you did a thorough research on this topic and present it to us in the way that is easy to understand.
“Intro and Heart Overview”
- References for all these examples and claim?
- “Infective Endocarditis”
- “Blood will usually flow smoothly past the inner linings of the heart, but many things can cause attachment of microbes causing endocarditis.” - Awkward, maybe reword this sentence
- “However, in drug users who are injecting directly into their veins, ultimately ending up in the vena cava, will affect the right side of their heart and in term the tricuspid valve and will likely be cause by S. aureus” – first time mention here, so should write full name, also italicize the species name. Plus, be [caused] by S. aureus
“Diagnosis”
- Figure showing how well different interpreters agreed on different aspects of echocardiography does not have very high resolution, hard to read
“Causes”
- The links on the figure for Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas are not functioning
“Conclusion”
- A little bit on the short side, maybe consider to make it longer and thorough, or could point out some future studies? -Jiayu Chen
