Talk:Intracranial hemorrhage

The

The original editing comment on this article is Intracranial hemorrhage diagnosis by CT but the article was titled Intracranial hemorrhage. This may explain the emphasis of the article. RJFJR 03:15, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

There is a problem that it seems to assume you know what an Intracranial hemorrhage is, before beginning to read the article. And the fact that the disclaimer at the bottom indicates it's for medical students or doctors. RJFJR 03:15, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

In spite of the disclaimer I can't find evidence of copyvio on google (but I'm not an expert on locating such evidence) RJFJR 03:15, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Couldn't find a copyvio via Google either, so just touched up a bit. Needs more editing. Alex.tan 06:07, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Too technical

I removed this material because it seems too technical.

First, basic principles: Normal brain tissue has CT numbers of about 30 HU (white matter) to about 40 HU (gray matter). Acute blood had a density of about 80-100 HU. With time, a collection of blood will become less dense, passing through a phase where it is isodense with brain tissue, and either becomes an area of encephalomalacia (density equal to CSF, or about 0 HU) or calcifies, and becomes heteregeneous and extremely dense (>200 HU).

If we're going to put it back we should re-write it in a clearer manner. RJFJR 16:24, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Redundancy

I think we should move detail about epidural and other subtypes into their respective pages and just leave a blurb about each one and a link. No reason to have the same material duplicated on this page. I just wrote the intra-axial and intraparenchymal pages and moved the detail about those from here to there. Hope no one minds.

Take off cleanup tag?

I've been working on the page and I wonder if the cleanup tag should come off. The page still needs work, but most of the too technical material is gone. I dunno if it merits the cleanup tag any more. As I see it, since there are pages on each type of intracranial hemorrhage, this page should be brief and just have links to those pages. Other opinions?

Also, is it cool to use the same images on two pages, as I've done with the subdural hemorrhage picture? --Delldot 22:09, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree that it's now good enough for the cleaup tag to come off. Thank you so much for everything you added. And there's no problem with using the same image more than once -- most of the anatomy pages recycle a few scanned images from Gray's Anatomy. A repeated relevant image is far better than no image at all. --Arcadian 15:51, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Exercise

In this article the author says it happened to him from exercise:

I'd just finished squatting and was repping out on leg extensions.

I felt a tremendous amount of pressure building in the back of my skull

I felt a sudden "pop" inside my head, followed by a sensation I can only describe as cold water being poured over my brain.

A few seconds later, I experienced the worst pressure and pain of my life.

The pain was maddening and so extreme I couldn't even think straight

I'd strained so hard that I'd burst a blood vessel inside my skull and caused intracranial hemorrhaging.

I would like to know if it is plausible for this to happen during exercise, and if so, what kind of hemorrhages it may be more likely to be and those which it would be less likely to be.

I would also like to know if almost-hemorrhage (enough stress to cause uncomfortable pressure but not enough to pop/coldwater) could explain discomfort in the skull during strenuous compound moves like pull-ups and overhead presses. 64.228.89.180 (talk) 05:49, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Rfc on the ENGVAR of this article

This article is currently an ENGVAR mess. The Greek word for blood, used as a part of many words in this article, is spelled hem- in American English versus haem- in British English. The article is named according to the American spelling, but in the article the usage is roughly 2:1 in favor of the British. There are 2 options:

1. Keep the title, replace all "haem-" with "hem-"
2. Rename the article, replace all "hem-" with "haem-".

Keep the title, replace all "haem-" with "hem-". (randomly invited by a bot) The article was originated using American ENGVAR. Since the content is not associated with any particular locale, we should keep the original ENGVAR, per WP:ENGVAR Jojalozzo (talk) 22:47, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Better, per MOS:RETAIN. Jojalozzo (talk) 22:56, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Agreed with Jojalozzo, replace "haem-" with "hem-" per MOS:RETAIN. This medical issue has no regional connection. Thanks, Animal lover 666, for raising the discrepancy, but I think an RfC may have been a little overkill unless there were previous objections and you could have made this change boldly yourself if our comments matched what you were already thinking. — Bilorv (talk) 21:04, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Agree with all of the above – per MOS:RETAIN and longstanding Wikipedia policy. —QueenofBithynia (talk) 21:28, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Changing language in first paragraph of title

Is it better to change lethal outcome to death? They both mean the same thing, with one being most straight forward than the other. Casint (talk) 15:03, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
