UCF COM Wiki Project Medicine Workplan

Hello, I will be working on this article for about the next month.

My Goals are.

1. Introduce a Indication-Contraindication section.
2. Make a more robust discussion over the History of the use of this medicine.
3. More organization to the Adverse Effects profile of the drug in other patient groups.
4. Once these are fixed, I may go more into details of the mechanism of action and pharmacology

Wiki Project 2020

Hi! We are students from McMaster University, and we aim to help edit and expand the Wikipedia Alteplase page during the next few months.

Goals:

• Expand on the Medical Uses section by creating subsections dedicated to STEMI, acute ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, and blocked catheters, as well as subsections on side effects and contraindications
• Expand on the Society and Culture section, add information on how Alteplase was recently included in the WHO Model List of Essential Medicine
• Create a new Safety section by referring to recent review articles on Alteplase’s safety and efficacy for each indication

→Welcome, I would really appreciate your input on the adverse effects section as well. Bleeding is obvious, but there seems to be very little secondary literature on any other adverse effects. Additionally, I am looking to add some images, but I am having trouble finding useful images without CC. Any thoughtsMitchell.mcelroy (talk) 22:50, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

→→I see that you have ordered contraindications into its own category. The reason I had those apart for each medical use was because the contraindications are in fact different for each medical use. Let me know what you think.2001:48F8:9:14F2:511C:4565:F971:FF3D (talk) 18:33, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
