Talk:Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder

message: I was wondering if anybody had any references for the types of treatments that are currently being used for Nueromyelitis Optica? Although the section on treatment suggests that there is currently no cure for the disease, I know that there are a number of treatments that are currently being carried out. I think that treatments such as steroids and other procedures should be included.

message: As a previous contribution says:
The blood-brain barrier is weakened in Devic's disease, but it is currently unknown how the NMO-IgG immune response leads to demyelination. Current research points to an accumulation of glutamate due to the NMO-IGg attackAutoimmune Disease May Be Triggered By Neurotransmitter Defect . As User:Jfdwolff points out, the given reference is a brief report that requires confirmation or a secondary source, but at the same time, is the best explanation we have at this point. Therefore, I move it here until a confirmation or refutal is found.--Juansempere (talk) 08:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Something to watch closely

message: Dear Sir
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO or Devics disease) is a condition affecting the optic nerve causing blindness and poor vision AND the spinal cord causing paralysis of limbs
We have recently designed a website www.nmouk.nhs.uk and wondered if you would add this to your list of conditions as a link/resource
Thankyou
Kerry

replies: text: Dear Kerry, because your site contains detailed information that would be outside the scope of what even a good article on NMO would be like on WP, I am tentatively adding a link to your resource and will await feedback from other editors. Thank you for letting us know, --PaulWicks (talk) 18:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  new website www.nmouk.nhs.uk 

message: There is obviously quite a literature on NMO coming through currently, and there is a huge temptation to make this article as cutting edge as possible. However, one must be careful not to fall prey to WP:RECENTISM and I would strongly recommend that the references be pared back and limited to WP:MEDRS-compliant secondary sources.

replies: text: Thanks for sharing this . It is great to have students helping to improve the readability and evidence shared in these articles. Please be sure to include a high quality secondary source as per WP:MEDRS following every sentence you add to medical content on Wikipedia and also consult the medical manual of style WP:MEDMOS for suggestions regarding appropriate headings and sub headings for each article type. Also, if you need any help, reach out on the talk page. Many Wikipedians would be happy to help! Thank you again. JenOttawa (talk) 15:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Edits Discussion 

message: I'm wanting to move this page from "Neuromyelitis optica" to Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders"
From 2015 diagnostic guidelines
After this, I propose merging Anti-AQP4 disease with this article, since it also describes diseases of the same diagnostic criteria, pathogenesis, and treatment (it is simply a subset of NMOSD).
Any thoughts or objections?
