Talk:Poland syndrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could someone please expand the medical abbreviations in this article? "hypothal.-hypoph. axis abn. morphol." isn't the easiest thing in the world to read for a non-specialist. -- pne (talk) 12:47, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent revisions

I have added authoritative medical journal references to most of the facts presented (I do not consider medicineonline.com authoritative as it is merely a plagiarized copy of the emedicine.com entry) If you have any questions, please ask here before simply reverting Tsschwartz 05:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jeremy Beadle Relation

From a non-medical point of view, this article seems confusing. It is pointed to from the Jeremy Beadle article which states that he has a small hand whereas the article states that the condition causes webbed fingers. Is the reference incorrect or is there an area to the disease that isn't covered here? yet another Matt 19:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stalin?

I've never seen this before, but I just read this quote by Shostakovich on Stalin, "His right hand was noticeably thinner than his left. He kept hiding his right hand.". http://hsc.csu.edu.au/modern_history/national_studies/russia/russia_key_features4/page62.htm#anchor117059 Perhaps he had Poland Syndrome also?
