Yes; the group added a significant amount of information drawn from reliable sources which they cited. The article is well organized and thorough. The one problem I have found is they do cite original research on several occasions rather than secondary sources.

Has the group achieved its overall goals for improvement?

· Yes, the group wanted to add more information and headers for organization, which they did. They also made the article more inclusive and more accessible for the general public.Keochui ucsf (talk) 18:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[ reply]

Yes, the group added more information and improved the organization so that it was laid out like a medical article, which was their primary goal. They used lay language when possible and linked relevant medical topics to minimize jargon.

Does the draft submission reflect a neutral point of view?

·Yes, the draft has a neutral point of view. I did not find any words or phrases that seemed to have a certain claim.Keochui ucsf (talk) 18:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[ reply]

Are the points included verifiable with cited secondary sources that are freely available?

· The citations are not entirely secondary (ie: citation 3), however the vast majority of the sources cited are secondary. Additionally, not all cited secondary sources were freely available; for example, citation 2 is from a textbook which requires a subscription for access. ~

Typically, anal plugs are used in people whose symptoms do not improve with to typical treatments: this may include changes in diet, physical therapy, nerve stimulation targeting the sacral and tibial nerves, '''surgical repair of the anus, and utilization of a colostomy bag. Nerve stimulation involves the placement of electrodes near the nerves that travel through a person's hips and down their legs'''. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3140335/) Colostomy bags are bags that collect feces from their intestines through a surgically created hole on a person's stomach.

Children with certain conditions, including spina bifida and anal atresia, may struggle with leaks even after physical therapy and other interventions, so they may benefit from using anal plugs. Spina bifida is a birth defect where a part of the spinal cord is not surrounded by the vertebrae; either the spinal cord is still in the back, just not surrounded by the vertebral bones, or it can be bulging out in a sac. (Brea CM, Munakomi S. Spina Bifida. 2023 Feb 12. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2023 Jan–. PMID: 32644691.) Anal atresia is another birth defect where the rectum and/or anus is deformed: fecal incontinence as a side effect. (Singh M, Mehra K. Imperforate Anus. 2022 Sep 8. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2023 Jan–. PMID: 31747191.)
