Types

[edit]

It'd be nice to have brief laymen descriptions of the different types. I did some looking on the 'Net, but all the descriptions I found used medical jargon which I'm not familiar with. —Frecklefoot 15:05, Apr 22, 2004 (UTC)


Yes but if you search for the pages on here they will give you some information...If they are not already good and informative articles then I will make them like this onver the next couple of weeks! (I am about to start now!) Adam2307 (talk) 11:49, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As previously stated you can’t catch this, because Ichthyosis is caused by a genetic defect. A doctor usually can diagnose ichthyosis by looking at the skin. A family history is also very useful. In some cases, a skin biopsy will be done to help to confirm the diagnosis. In a biopsy, a small piece of skin is removed and examined under a microscope. In rare instances, genetic testing may be helpful in making a diagnosis. People are equally at risk, it is not more common in any certain race. There is no way to prevent ichthyosis. Like other genetic diseases, there is a risk that children of an affected parent will inherit the gene.

Is the literal translation "fish SKIN"? I think that -osis is just used to signal some kind of disorder, and doesn't translate literally (or at all, for that matter) to just "skin". Demonkey36 01:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no literal translation of it but you are on the right lines...the "icthy" bit as you rightly said is from fish and the "-osis" just refers to it being a medical condition Adam2307 (talk) 11:49, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

potential intro edit

[edit]

I have drafted a potential update to the intro section in my sandbox. Let me know what you think please. Thanks! Swineha9 (talk) 16:03, 2 March 2016 (UTC)swineha9[reply]

Hey Bethany! I wasn't able to find your sandbox for your edits, so I read it off of the D2L journal. I think that your edits did a really nice job! You mentioned that you had a had time writing in a way that sounded professional and could be applied to such a public website like Wikipedia, but I think that you did a really nice job! I have to admit, you used a lot of really large words that I had no idea what they meant, but I think that that's a good thing for an article on such a heavy topic. The only thing that I would work on it your use of unnecessary words, such as "many" and "also", those tend to bind up your sentences and then it takes much longer to get your point across. Overall, nice work! Happy editing! Doengesm (talk) 17:54, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bethany King Leading Section Peer Review

[edit]

• The section uses many data and facts that make the section more persuasive. It gave the audiences the basic information about ichthyoids in a professional ways. It not only introduce the definition of the ichthyoids but also the different types and systems of each of types • The whole section is organized very well. I think you have too many professional terms that make me a little bit hard to understand. But I can understand that because your topic is very professional. If you could explain those hard words more could be better to improve. And I do not know the reason that why I cannot find your sandbox on the on D2L.
