Subject: An easier way to look at is, white matter isn't a type of infarct... SM

it is where the infarct took place.  So you would not hyphenate.
overread vs over-read vs over read
Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read

OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

They actually are not fragments as they contain necessary parts, but punctuation shows how they are related to the other thought.

PUNCTUATION, ETC.
Subject: PUNCTUATION, ETC.

Capitalize first letter after a colon. Forgot an apostrophe to indicate possessive case,as the cough belongs to a smoker. Forgot serial comma after nose.

As to format, if they let you get away with each system starting on a separate line it will be clearer and give you a higher line count.

Finally, to quote my medical editing instructor at Cornell Medical School, "The addition of "al" to an adjective does not make it any more "adjectival" -- I always got a laugh out of that line. I've been correcting docs and transcriptionists for years about neurologic and hematologic.
