Why is this if someone wants to only know about the drug??

It doesn't do that anymore now. See Ecstasy --WS 11:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

hi everyone!!

Tunica Intima

The discussion of layers "the tunica intima (commonly known as the intima), the tunica media (commonly known as the media), and the tunica adventitia (commonly known as the adventitia" should indicate which is the inner and which the outer. (Unsigned by anon)

I added some information about venous aneurysms before I registered a user name (I added them as ip 24.13.36.66). Admittedly they are rare, but in researching them I did come across a few people who had them or knew someone who did from within my circle of friends/family/co-workers. They are different enough in risks and impact to deserve mention.User:Superclear

External Links

I would like to propose linking to www.touchcardiology.com/aneurism.cfm which aims to provide up-to-date information on treatment options and physician information Mergneed 14:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

"Clipping"

It seems a bit odd to link to clipping in the intervention section, a page which then has to disambiguate between the various meanings of the word. Perhaps "clipping" should be disambiguated? Anybody up to the task? Tim 01:21, 2004 Oct 8 (UTC)

How an Aneurysm Forms

What causes this disorder (aneurysm)?

a blow to the head or a cuncution of some sort.

Aneurysm Rate

How Common are Aneurysm's?

Aneurysm Treatment

I think there should be a separate section on the treatment of aneurysms. Currently, the section on 'Brain Aneurysm' treatment is ok, but there are a few added lines on the treatment of extra-cerebral aneurysms. I will try and clean this up a bit.

Disease/Condition Code

I've noticed that this is a health/emdical problem. But it has no code in the article, can you find it? Falconleaf

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst

Where should this be put? This is a kind of tumor, but it kinda fails to fall under any of the classifications we have here. I have first hand experience with these kind of extremely rare tumors, and if i could help by writing an article that would be great. Just let me know where i should put this under, or make a new article.

Symptoms and diagnosis

I find no indication of symptoms or the means of diagnosis. Can someone add this? --Tysto 01:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

cerebral hemorrage

Are Aneurysms and cerebral hemorrages the same thing? Related?

Fusiform - spindle?

The use of the term "spindle" to describe a Fusiform Aneurysm is ... not useful at all. I know there is another reference out there that uses the term spindle, but it's not an appropriate description, I had no idea what it meant and none of the dictionary definitions of the word fit. We need to come up with a better word/description. Do a google images search for "Fusiform Aneurysm" to see what we actually need to describe.

My first whack at it - "a fusiform aneurysm is a dialation of the entire circumference of the vessel". It'd also be really nice if we had some diagrams showing the types, as this would make it completely clear what they look like.

I'm also not so certain of the "Aneurysms are also described according to size" statement leading into the two types. This reference, although it describes aortic aneurysms, makes clear that it's the physical structure of the aneurysm that determines it's "type":

"three basic types are usually found. If all three layers of the vessel are affected and weakness develops along an extended area of the vessel, the weakened area will appear as a large, bulging region of blood vessel; this is called a fusiform aneurysm. If weakness develops between the inner and outer layers of the aortic wall, a bulge results as blood from the interior of the vessel is pushed around the damaged region in the wall and collects between these layers. This is called a dissecting aneurysm because one layer is "dissected" or separated from another. If damage occurs to only the middle (muscular) layer of the vessel, a sack-like bulge can form; therefore, this is a saccular aneurysm."
