Plethora?

Never heard of that term in medicine. The dictionary describes it as archaic. I'm no DR., but it seems that, in this context, they were referring to "facial edema," so I changed it. If an expert has a better term, please use it. The myoclonic jerk (talk) 11:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SVC Syndrome vs. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

The previous edit implied that these were synonymous terms. They are not. They are two different diseases with completely different pathogenesis and natural history.

Orphaned references in Superior vena cava syndrome

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Superior vena cava syndrome's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:17, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
