relieved with rest[edit]

I added the cite needed tag after the statement "True claudication is relieved with rest from exercise." While the statement makes sense, it is a little misleading. There are numerous causes of claudication, and at least one that I can think may not necessarily be relieved by rest. If someone has an arterial stasis ulcer in their leg, circulation is continuously decreased distal to the ulcer. Resting may not help. Eyknough (talk) 14:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ancient Romans[edit]

The Roman emperor Claudius (who ruled from A.D. 41-54) was so named because he limped, probably because of a birth defect.

Or because he was a member of the Claudii. —Tamfang (talk) 07:27, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Treatment[edit]

"Some things to know before use are the following: contraindicated in patient with heart failure, should be taken 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal, and improvement of symptoms may not be evident for two to three weeks." This is hardly worthy of an encyclopeadia insertion. More likely comes straight from the leaflet that came with the drugs. Needs properly editing - or even deleting.Colin marks (talk) 14:04, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Organization per WP:MEDMOS[edit]

For signs and symptoms, pages should follow (per WP:MEDMOS):

Definition (current definitions)
Differential diagnoses or Associated medical conditions
Pathophysiology or Mechanism
Diagnostic approach or Evaluation
Treatment or Management (for the symptom itself, if any: e.g., analgesics for pain)
Epidemiology (incidence, prevalence, risk factors)
History (of the science, not of the patient: e.g., "The oldest surviving description is in a medical text written by Avicenna.")
Society and culture (e.g., cachexia was a literary symbol for tuberculosis in the 19th century and for AIDS in the 1980s.)
Research (Is anything important being done?)
Other animals
