05:2705:27, 13 February 2024 diff hist +571‎ 2019 Samoa measles outbreak ‎ Provided additional context behind vitamin A deficiency and the role it had (and didn't have) in the outbreak Tag: Visual edit
05:2005:20, 13 February 2024 diff hist −145‎ 2019 Samoa measles outbreak ‎ The relevant risk factor for severe measles is vitamin A deficiency; the role of other micronutrients is ill-defined and not shown to be effective in the management of measles. As written, the link suggested that only 14% of Samoans were meeting their vitamin A requirement when in reality the source suggests that a substantially higher fraction were. Tag: Visual edit
05:1805:18, 13 February 2024 diff hist +983‎ 2019 Samoa measles outbreak ‎ The references did not indicate that there was a delay in getting vitamin A therapy initiated in response to the measles outbreak, merely that vitamin A was being shipped to Samoa. Furthermore, pediatricians on the ground reported that they did not see evidence of vitamin A deficiency in their patients and UNICEF was able to supply all needed doses of vitamin A by the beginning of October.

12:2412:24, 3 February 2024 diff hist +441‎ Antibody ‎ corrected some grammatical errors and clarified Tag: Visual edit

18:4018:40, 2 February 2024 diff hist +4,909‎ FCGR2B ‎ added information about the role of the transmembrane domain of the protein and emphasized its role in affinity selection of B cells at multiple stages of the immune response Tag: Visual edit

14:0614:06, 24 January 2024 diff hist +15,384‎ Antibody ‎ addressed multiple technical errors and added section on interchromosomal DNA translocation as a mechanism for antibody diversification Tag: Visual edit

14:3314:33, 19 September 2020 diff hist +5,347‎ T helper cell ‎ The section on T cell activation had the wrong description of the role of the different signals. Additionally it was missing signal 3. While we commonly think of 2 signals for T cell activation, the third signal specifies the effector module of the T cell and for the sake of completeness should be included. Tag: Visual edit

21:4121:41, 18 September 2020 diff hist +5,401‎ T helper cell ‎ Cleaned up the introduction a bit; some terminology was not strictly correct and some relevant pieces were missing. I think this page needs additional significant edits and I plan to return to it when I have some time. Tag: Visual edit
