 Edward Loftus Reviewer: 
Reviewer's report: 
General 
This is an interesting case report. The authors have responded to most of my concerns. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Major Compulsory Revisions (that the author must respond to before a decision on publication can be reached) 
There are still numerous typographical and grammatical errors throughout the manuscript. 
Practically half of the sentences contain an error. The authors need to enlist the help of someone 
who is completely fluent in written English in order to make this readable. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Minor Essential Revisions (such as missing labels on figures, or the wrong use of a term, which the author can be trusted to correct) 
Figure 3 is not cited in the text. It should probably be cited in the middle paragraph of page 5. Also, 
please provide a figure legend for Fig 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discretionary Revisions (which the author can choose to ignore) 
 Unable to decide on acceptance or rejection until the authors have responded to the What next?:
