The article is new enough (July 28), long enough (7,946 characters and 1,252 words, per WP:DYKCHECK), and well-sourced. Hook is interesting. QPQ done. Hook reference is a professional medical journal, but paywalled, so accepted in good faith. Jackdude101 ^talk ^cont 01:37, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
