Talk:Allostasis

message: Allostasis is the process of achieving stability, or homeostasis, through physiological or behavioral change. This can be carried out by means of alteration in HPA axis hormones, the autonomic nervous system, cytokines, or a number of other systems, and is generally adaptive in the short term (McEwen & Wingfield, 2003).
If anyone knows how to format the footnotes so there are not all those ghost numbers, please make the changes.Ksvaughan2 15:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello.
I am a member of WikiProject Medicine, a Wikipedia wide project that maintains and improves articles that fall under the scope of medicine. Since your article has fallen under our scope, I have placed the correct template(s) on this talk page for verification. Upon reviewed of the article, I'd like to make a few points, as shown below:
*Assess article with class and importance factors
*Is this not a historical medical term?
*
Leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. I'm glad this article could fall within our scope, and I hope to see it grow large! Many thanks! Renaissancee (talk) 07:31, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Mind-Body, section 18

message: this article from the beginning, contains sophomoric turns of phrase that make one immediately skeptical of the quality of the content. I claim only enough expertise to recognise the low quality of the entry. The concept is increasingly important in neuroscience, so a more professional entry is called for. 2600:1700:4819:E150:441D:251B:5728:3650 (talk) 03:33, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  marginally literate 

message: Evidently written by students with minimal general knowledge in the field. While homeostasis is courted, the article should include reference to Homeorhesis (Waddington) and Autopoiesis (Maturana and Varela) 2600:1700:4819:E150:441D:251B:5728:3650 (talk) 03:38, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Wikipedia for the Medical Editor

message: Hello, I am a medical student editing this article. As someone has mentioned before, I believe that the concept of allostasis is rooted in the historical development of this term and edited the page to reflect this development (namely, Sterling and Eyer's seminal research). It is difficult to understand what allostasis is without having the context of the original researchers' theories and evidence. I have kept most of the information that was already on the page but reorganized them into later sections because they were more relevant as applied concepts of allostasis (most of the information was on allostatic load). Next steps could be to incorporate a 'Clinical Significance' section with subsections such as 'Hypertension', 'Diabetes', 'Cancer', specific psychiatric conditions, etc. as allostasis is gaining more traction as pathophysiological explanations in the medical field.
