About me
I'm an English neurologist. I've also done some research into progressive nonfluent aphasia and related topics. I'd prefer not to discuss my real-world identity here: call me Neurotip (that's ˈnjʊə.roʊ.ˌtɪp, not njʊ.ˈrɒ.tɪp)!

Major edits

 * Neuropathy: various articles merged into Peripheral neuropathy, Polyneuropathy and Neuropathic pain; see also discussion and plan

Ideas for future edits
See Medicine and Neurology project talk pages.

Google project

 * the central Google project page
 * the WikiProject Medicine talk page entry
 * pages I might be able to help with: Sleep apnea, Cerebral arteriovenous malformation

Missing pages

 * Basilar artery thrombosis, Top of the basilar syndrome
 * Brachial diplegia, Man in the barrel syndrome (see Watershed stroke)
 * Brachial neuritis
 * Multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block
 * Multi-system disease
 * Neuronal migration disorder, but note Gray matter heterotopia, Cortical dysplasia
 * Retrovirus-associated myelopathy
 * Stroke scales:
 * ABCD2
 * ASPECTS score
 * Nihss and NIH_stroke_scale -- currently stubs, need expansion and redirects
 * ROSIER scale (will need a disambiguation page from Rosier!) (see Stroke page)

Pages in need of attention

 * almost all the opathies...
 * myopathy, myelopathy, radiculopathy, even encephalopathy (and coma for that matter)
 * also plexopathy, lumbosacral plexopathy and brachial plexopathy
 * not to mention myeloradiculopathy and encephalomyelitis
 * neuropathy articles still need work: peripheral neuropathy, polyneuropathy, neuropathic pain
 * and the patterns of weakness: hemiparesis, hemiplegia, paraparesis, paraplegia, diplegia
 * neurodegenerative disease...
 * Dementia, Cognitive impairment
 * Alcohol dementia, Normal pressure hydrocephalus
 * Frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Frontotemporal dementia, Progressive nonfluent aphasia, Semantic dementia
 * Proteopathy, Tauopathy, TARDBP (amend statement about mutations)
 * Neuroacanthocytosis
 * Parkinson plus syndrome
 * Gait abnormality and its children; of particular interest to me...
 * Antalgic gait, Festinating gait, Scissor gait, Spastic gait, Steppage gait
 * Myopathic gait and Trendelenburg gait: same thing?
 * Magnetic gait: same as Bruns ataxia? Gait apraxia and Apraxic gait are redlinked
 * gluten sensitivity and neurology...
 * Gluten sensitivity, Coeliac disease
 * Gluten-sensitive idiopathic neuropathies, Gluten-sensitive enteropathy associated conditions; should these pages be merged, or the section in the latter shortened and directed to the former?
 * see also mentions in HLA-DQ1, Ramsay Hunt syndrome type I, Anti-transglutaminase antibodies
 * Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy now exists!
 * Stroke (see discussion at neurology WikiProject)...
 * pathophysiology, prevention and to some extent treatment would be better in the articles on infarction and haemorrhage
 * Brain ischemia, Cerebral infarction and Cerebral hemorrhage are shorter, overlap considerably with Stroke and seem redundant
 * autoimmune encephalitis...
 * Voltage-gated potassium channel has no mention of disease at all!
 * Morvan's syndrome, Isaac's syndrome, Isaac's Syndrome, Isaacs syndrome, etc.
 * Limbic encephalitis, Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis, Encephalitis
 * Anti-voltage-gated potassium channel encephalitis
 * Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis
 * anti-ganglioside antibody: Bickerstaff's encephalitis, Miller Fisher syndrome
 * miscellaneous...
 * Cerebellar ataxia, though note Ataxia
 * Nerve compression syndrome (was Compression neuropathy) needs references!
 * Demyelinating disease
 * Mevalonate inhibition needs to be merged with Statin, and content needs review
 * Mitochondrial myopathy; merge with Mitochondrial disease?
 * Neurological examination
 * Superficial siderosis
