I am a fourth year medical student who has selected this article as my topic of focus for the next month. I will be editing this article with the goal of improving the accuracy and quality of the medical content on Wikipedia. My planned timeline is as follows:

Week 1
Create this timeline, analyze the article for ways that it can be improved, and begin reviewing/collecting credible sources to cite for any added information. This will include but is not limited to:


 * Fact-checking the currently cited sources
 * Relevance of all of the information to the topic
 * Assessing tone of the article for potential bias
 * Checking for information that is out-of-date or incorrect

Week 2
Add more information to the lead section to make it more comprehensive and expand on some of the sections that are already present. I plan to focus on the "pathophysiology", "diagnosis", "treatment", and "prognosis" sections as they are less completed than the others, but I may also make changes in other sections. I will also see if there are any more relevant illustrations that can help strengthen the article.

Week 3
Add relevant sections that aren't already in the article, such as epidemiology. Continue to expand on the sections that are present but currently have only a sentence or two in them. Open to any feedback or advice on how I can improve the article.

Week 4
Make additional changes as per recommendations of peer reviewers (if appropriate) and proof-read the full article.

I look forward to working on this article for the next month and continue maintaining it thereafter, and I welcome any collaboration.
