How can I implement the function sort and compress in the vancouver bibliography style? Also, the last reference (\bibitem{sitoedta}) of the bibliography ends with a ';' instead of a '.' because it's a shorter reference and I have no access to the missing parts of the entry. How can I fix this?

\section{Renal function}
\subsection{Urine composition}
Uremic toxins can be classified in accordance with their physiochemical characteristics, which affect the removal process during dialysis \cite{RefWorks:102, RefWorks:6, RefWorks:94}: % SORT AND COMPRESS doesn't work
\begin{itemize}
\item
small and water-soluble compounds
\begin{itemize}
\item
they display a molecular weight lesser than 500 $Dalton$ ($Da$);
\item
the main molecules are urea, creatinine, uric acid and guanidine;
\item
they are easily removed through dialysis;
\item
they are not necessarily toxic;
\end{itemize}
\item
medium size molecules
\begin{itemize}
\item
they are compounds, mostly polypeptides, with relatively high Mw, such as $ \beta_2 $- microglobulin and leptin;
\item
they are solely removed with membranes equipped with pores large enough to allow the substances to pass;
\end{itemize}
\item
liposoluble and/or protein-bound compounds:
\begin{itemize}
\item
they display a low Mw, similar to phenols and indoles;
\item
these molecules are predominantly toxic and difficult to be removed by way of the majority of the dialysis methods available nowadays;
\item
their removal widely depends on the equilibrium between the free and the occupied sites;
\item
for this type of solutes, the use of adsorbent methods may be more effective \cite{RefWorks:9, RefWorks:105, RefWorks:143}. %16-18 cambiare stile bibliografia
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Peritoneal dialysis}
An additional limit is represented by the absence of hydrostatic pressure gradients able to guarantee convective mass exchange; the process is solely diffusive. The control over the removal of the fluid is obtained though the variation of the dialysate composition, for instance by adding glucose or icodextrin as osmolytes in dialysate \cite{sitoedta}.
