diagnosed By BreathID continuous online 13C-octanoide acid breath test a case
report.
Version: 1Date:7 March 2010
Reviewer: Roger Ackroyd
Reviewer's report:
Major compulsory revisions:
1. The title of the article needs revising. It need a hyphen of colon before "a case
report".
Minor essential revisions:
There are NUMEROUS spelling and typographical mistakes.
1. Fundoplication is consistently mis-spelt. In the abstract it is spelt
"funduplication" a total of 4 times.
2. In the first paragraph, the word "specially" should read "especially".
3. in the second paragraph, line 1, the word "which" should read "who".
4. In the "Background" section, 4th paragraph, line 2, the words nissen
fundoplication do not need capital letters.
5. In the "Case presentation" section, 2nd paragraph the term EG junction is
used. This has not been previously defined and should not be abbreviated like
this here.
6. In the "Case presentation" paragraph 5, line 1, the word "a" needs adding
before "small gastric erosion".
7. In paragraph 7 of the same section, the word "removed" should be replaced by
"divided" when speaking about the adhesions.
8. In the "Consent" section, it talks about "Consent forms signed by the patient is
submitted separately". This sentence makes no sense. Is it singular or plural?
Also ther is no full stop.
9. In the "Discussion" section, paragraph 4, sentence 1 makes no sense. The
English here is very poor and this sentence needs re-writing.
10. In the "Conclusion" section, the sentence beginning "The Breath" also makes
no sense. The English is again poor and it needs re-writing.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that i have no competing interests.
