Week 2 has mostly been using the Sebastian textbook to provide information regarding the different types of polyps classified base on gross anatomy and histology. Most of editing this week involves updating the section on the classification base on gross anatomy and histology. Also made changes to the section on hereditary syndromes such as lynch syndrome and FAP. Their history of discovery, psychopathology, and criteria for diagnosis. Also included was a section on the link between polys and invasive carcinoma and the haggitt's criteria for classification and stratification of risk. The main issue I had this week was not knowing how to properly insert a diagram of haggitt's criteria that I found from a paper from Pubmed. I was not sure about the copyright and whether or not i was allow to use it on my article. The tutorial provided by this course was helpful but I still have some minor questions that hopefully will be addressed during this session. The article is one that I have been using to update my article and here is the link https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2780260/#r21286-11. My plan is to complete the section on hereditary syndrome and start working on the prevention and treatment section this week.

For this article there are limited information provided regarding the structure of the polyps and the syndromes that are associated with the colorectal polyps. The sections that I would like to modify are structure of polyps, many of the genetic syndromes that are associated with polyps. There is no section on the article regarding imaging studies such as endoscopic procedure and it would be good to add that to the article. Signs and symptoms are another area that could be improved upon along with treatment and diagnosis.

Sections to prioritize: -Symptoms and Signs further elaborate on the duration and prevalence of symptoms and signs. -Treatment and Prevention further details regarding various treatment options available and their respective success rates and contraindications. Provide more details regarding recommendation for prevention including lifestyle modifications. Sections to add -Imaging studies provide detail importation regarding the various studies available and their respective sensitivity and specificity. -Associative Genetic Syndromes elaborate on the associated genes and the psychopathology of each syndromes.

For this topic I will be using textbooks such as CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Gastroenterology, Hepatology, & Endoscopy, 3e and Sabiston Textbook of Surgery along with review articles and journals provided through Access Medicine and Clinical Key. These resources are being used currently and I will expect to have more information regarding the topic by the end of this week. I will actively use Access Medicine and Clinical Key along with google search throughout this course to better research the topic. Regarding what things such as signs and symptoms to include and leave out, I will mostly be including things that are pertinent to the topic and by pertinent I mean things that have a strong research results to back the claims. I will also exclude treatments that are still in trial and will only include treatments that have good evidence of success. The two digital textbooks I have included will be new links to the article and I expect to be adding more reference links as I progress. To improve and ensure that the information presented is well written and communicates effectively with the general public, I will mostly be using succinct words, active rather than passive grammars, and using simple to understand terms. I will try to avoid medical jargons and I will utilize resources such as everyday words for public health communication, readability calculator by online utility, and improving health literacy guide by U Michigan.

Work plan For this week, I have largely been putting together a list of resources such as textbooks and journal articles on the topic of colorectal polyps. The sections That I have primarily focused on are signs and symptoms, Treatment and prevention. There are still a great deal of research to be done treatment and thus research resources are still lacking. I have mostly been using the textbook, "Essential Surgery: Problems, Diagnosis and Management, Fifth Edition," and the journal, "Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2017-07-01, Volume 86, Issue 1, Pages 18-33." I plan to make revision to the signs and symptoms section this weeek. I will continue to work on other sections of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musc2019 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

What is the source for the incidence pie chart?

Struggling to find if this data is legitimate, especially since the incidence rates are hard to find in the literature. 2601:197:800:905:E9DC:F480:7832:EACB (talk) 04:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
