Sex versus gender

Sex is biological and was the sense meant in the lead. Thus restored. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:16, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

The ordering of content in the lead generally follows that of the body. Thus restored the discussion of the underlying mechanism to paragraph 2. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:49, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Diagnosis

I guess the question is how does one say "Plantar fasciopathy is a clinical diagnosis" in easier to understand language?[1]

User:TylerDurden8823 what do you think of "The presentation of the symptoms is generally the basis for diagnosis"

"The presence of appropriate signs and symptoms is essential for diagnosis" does not indicate that this is in fact how the diagnosis is made (ie it is generally based on a person's symptoms) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:10, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you are set on this second one, sure I guess. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:13, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doc James, I think it does indicate that that is how the diagnosis is made, actually. If you want to change it to say that the presence of appropriate signs and symptoms is required for diagnosis (instead of essential for diagnosis) for clarity, I think that would be fine. I think saying "is generally the basis for diagnosis" reads awkwardly when I say it out loud. Does that address the concern you have about how it's currently written?
