Just thought I would pass on some information recently sent to me.

AAMT BOS  (Book of Style), 2nd edition

periods
Do not use periods within or at the end of most abbreviations, including acronyms, abbreviated units of measure, and brief forms. Use a period at the end of abbreviated English units of measure if they may be misread without the period. Better still, write out most English units of measure, thereby avoiding this use of a period at the end of an abbreviation.

wbc
WBC
mg
exam
prep
inch preferred to in. (Do not use in meaning inch without a period.)

However, use periods in lowercase drug-related abbreviations.
b.i.d.
q.4 h. = note it is "q.4" and then a space before the "h."
p.o.
p.r.n.

If a sentence terminates with an abbreviation that requires a period, do not add another period.
He takes Valium 5 mg q.a.m.
not He takes Valium 5 mg q.a.m..

plurals
Use a lowercase s without an apostrophe to form the plural of capitalized abbreviations, acronyms, and brief forms.
EEGs
PVCs
CABGs
exams

Use 's to form the plural of lowercase abbreviations.
rbc's
Use 's to form the plural of single-letter abbreviations.
X's

Hyphens and adjectives

0.75 mg

I'd stick with the national standard for clarity's sake unless instructed to stringently follow BOS.  There is staging that is very involved and would look convoluted without spacing in my opinion; i.e, pT2a pN3 MX, etc.

... scored in the low average range. Non-verbal problem solving was low average.

Anyone know?

and then nothing but Hasson everything else.  Hassan catheter is cross referenced as well. Never saw it like that either. I have always found the Surgical Word Book to be very accurate. Oh well....Wish someone knew if there was a difference! There must be - but what is it?

Always capitalize genus names and their abbreviated forms when they are accompanied by a species name.

Lowercase genus names used in plural and ajectival forms and when used in the vernacular, for example, when they stand alone (without a species name).
