Hi again,

Another thought about roman numerals: when roman numerals begin a line, 
especially, for example, when you are using them for the page numbers of front 
matter, the text will auto-capitalize the first letter but not the second. This 
is not helpful for print readers, or, apparently, for Braille readers. This 
doesn't necessarily apply to the question about medical terms, but I thought it 
worth mentioning, because I've seen it come up a fewtimes. Please keep the 
roman numerals consistently capitalized or not. Thanks!

Best,
