As I have never heard of this condition before, this article proved to be a great introduction. The information was compiled very clearly, and I could right away group key information such as causes and effects of this condition. I also appreciated the many links for more information or help with clinical trials listed on the bottom, as I could easily explore further when available. This article was very nice to browse, and I feel much more informed thanks to it.
