Etiology

Hello, Robert,

I wanted to add an etiology section, but I wondered where to place it and whether it should be named Causes or something similar. How would you proceed?

Sounds great. I suggest following the outline at WikiPedia: Template for medical conditions. At some point, I think CZ needs a recommended standard organization for medical articles. - Robert Badgett 10:20, 23 January 2008 (CST)

Your opinion on linked articles here, and possibly other templates

What do you think of a separate article on insulin resistance, or should that be expanded in here -- maybe a tab? My immediate reason is that I am working on a set of articles dealing with understanding its mechanism and ways of overcoming it. My immediate plan is the article on Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in my sandbox, then to create articles on fibrates and TZDs, then go back and discuss the potential synergistic effect on TZD side effects of using those two families, which activate at different PPAR subreceptors. I suspect insulin resistance may deserve its own article.

Incidentally, I wrote initial articles on Coxiella burnetii and Q fever, as an experiment in working out how to pair articles on pathogens and the disease they cause. The outlines from which I worked are in my sandbox UUser:Howard C. Berkowitz/PathogenPage and User:Howard C. Berkowitz/DiseasePage; I haven't yet modified them to reflect the experience with the preceding two mainspace articles. Comments on structure are more than welcome. Howard C.
