Talk:Oxygen toxicity/GA2

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

I'm guessing that the writer/nominator is unaware of WP:MOSMED. The recommended style uses the following sections:-


 * Classification
 * Signs and symptoms or Characteristics
 * Causes or Genetics
 * Pathophysiology or Mechanism
 * Diagnosis (including Characteristic biopsy findings and differential diagnosis)
 * Prevention or Screening
 * Treatment or Management
 * Prognosis
 * Epidemiology
 * History (not patient history)
 * Society and culture (e.g., stigma, economics, religious aspects, awareness, legal issues)
 * Research directions
 * In other animals
 * See also (avoid if possible, use wikilinks in the main article)
 * Notes
 * References
 * Further reading or Bibliography (paper resources such as books, not web sites)
 * External links (avoid if possible)

 * "Classification": Is it classified by the cause, or by the target organ damage?
 * "Signs and symptoms" is likely to be the bulk of the article, containing a description of the effects.
 * "Causes" should include risk factors such as diving depth/duration and prematurity of infants.
 * "Pathophysiology" should be a review of free radical formation and effects.
 * "Diagnosis": Presumably in diving it's a diagnosis of exclusion, in conjunction with the history? How are retinopathy and bronchopulmonary dysplasia diagnosed in infants?
 * "Prevention": Safety devices when diving. Monitoring and minimizing pO2 for neonates?
 * "Treatment": although somewhat limited treatment options are available, this needs its own section with as much available info as possible.
 * "Prognosis": More missing information.
 * "Epidemiology": Frequency in divers? Frequency of retinopathy and BPD in premature neonates?
 * "History", "Society and culture", "Research" & "In other animals" are not required for GA status.

I am pleased to see that the current information is well-referenced. However there is a lot of missing information. Compliance with the recommended WP:MOSMED would help a lot. This article is not yet a good article. Axl ¤  [Talk]  10:14, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
