Gamma knife

I'm taking a poll.   I typed Gamma knife in an op report.  I looked it up in Tessier The Surgical Word Book to confirm that the G is capitalized, which it was when used with knife.   I had numerous 'typo' QAs and it was changed to  gamma knife.

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT or GGPT)
Subject: Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT or GGPT)

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT or GGPT) is also an enzyme produced in the bile ducts which may be elevated in people with bile duct diseases. Hepatitis and heavy alcohol consumption also increase GGT. Normal ranges from 12-55 IU/L.

(http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/factsheets_pdf/Lab_report2.pdf)

Here is a pretty good reference for labs:

Subject: it's not what we think, it is what is correct...

correct = nicked (verb: to cut nick into)

onelook.com is a good dictionary source on-line.
Were is correct.
Subject: Were is correct.

As the word remainder represents a portion, the verb to use is determined by the noun in the "of phrase" that follows. In your case, "forms" is plural so use were.

This rule also applies for other "portion" words such as none, all, some, part, etc. Hope this helps.

PS: See 'The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation' by Jane Straus.
