Jargon to define or replace with more common terms edit
- distal esophagus
- symptomatic patients
- present with episodes
- bolus (so the reader doesn't have to find the proper term in the diambiguation page)
- proximal to the gastro-esophageal junction.
- leading to the belief that many Schatzki rings may be asymptomatic.
- ring of fibrous tissue on autopsy
- there is evidence that Schatzki rings do not progress
- rigid or balloon dilators (or create a dilator article and link to it, as the esophageal dilatation doesn't do a good job of defining the term)
- endoscopic management
- this is empiric
Distal is an english word not jargon. So is symptomatic. So is proximal. So is autopsy. I like the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.130.246.2 (talk • contribs) .
GA Nom edit
Dropped by to review. I'd like to see the language of the article written so that an average layperson can understand it. I can, but that's because my wife has a Schatzki ring. I'd also like to see something more about how dialation is actually done and that the treatment, safe and effective, has to be often repeated over two or more times every few years. (although the last not needed for GA) I'll hold the article to let you all have a little more time with it. --CTSWyneken(talk) 11:14, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
GA edit
Do not believe that this is a GA article. Does not discuss history of the name and the condition. Nothing on its frequency (epidemiology). What about the prognosis.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
