  You can edit this article Click "show" for simple instructions: 

Getting started

  • Click any of the links within the article and type into the box near the bottom.
  • If you add a claim, or substantially modify one, cite a scientific article or textbook that supports your claim. (See below.)
  • Spelling and grammar corrections or stylistic improvements are welcome and need no citations.
  • When you're finished, briefly describe what you've done in the "Edit summary" box and click "Publish changes".

The editors at WikiProject Medicine will happily answer any questions you may have.

Be guided by these important principles

No original research

  • Misplaced Pages does not publish original thought: all material must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Articles may not advance a new position using new analysis or synthesis of published material.

Reliable sources

Use your own words

  • Accurately reflect sources but do not copy chunks of copyrighted text. In terms of expression, your contribution should bear little resemblance to your source.

Citing sources

  • Content not accompanied by an inline "citation" (a footnote marker like this linked to specified pages in a journal, textbook, etc.) that supports it might be deleted.
  • Copy the style of other references in the article and type your reference between <ref> and </ref>. When you publish your work, the footnote marker will appear in the text where you typed the above, and the full reference will appear at the bottom of the article in the list of references.

Enter your proposed edits below here and above the "References" heading. Also enter the exact quote that you are paraphrasing from your source textbook or article. Let me know on my talk page when you're ready for me to look at your work. If you have any questions at all, ask on my talk page. Anthony (talk) 22:17, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
