At the moment, the article page is in the midst of some merges both of material from other article and talk pages, as well as sources provided directly. Feel free to comment on the talk page, but I would appreciate it if there were no major edits on the article page while it's being constructed. This should be no more than a day or two, but, since the article does use features of clusters, it could not be constructed in a sandbox. Howard C. Berkowitz 04:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Definitions, when not existing, will be the closest term currently in the U.S. National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings vocabulary, which may not always agree with certain traditional terms. Also, wherever there are standard vocabularies, such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) from the World Health Organization, their terms will be preferred. Howard C.

Good start, Howard! I especially think the 'table' is useful.Martin Cohen 12:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
