Your edits at this article extensively rewrote the existing content, but discarded all of the prior sources, leaving only once cited source (which appears to be your own paper). This would appear to be a case of original research on your part: writing your own knowledge of the subject rather than relying on what reliable sources have written. This is disallowed at Wikipedia. You appear to be quite knowledgeable on the subject; I recommend you get guidance from WP:WikiProject Medicine to help you apply your knowledge to this article within Wikipedia's editing guidelines.

Information icon Hello, Pete Nelson from UKY. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to sources you may be affiliated with.

Editing in this way is a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM); the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

If you wish to continue contributing, please first consider citing other reliable secondary sources such as review articles that were written by other researchers in your field and that are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite sources for which you may have a conflict of interest, please start a new section on the article's talk page and add {{Edit COI}} to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added. :Jay8g [VTE] 04:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Jay8g. Your point is well-taken but that is not my primary purpose at all. A lot of the papers I'm citing include me and a large group of others. But right now I'll go back to the page and add some appropriate citations that I am not involved in.
Thanks again,
