Why was the boy's photo with Anaphylaxis removed?

I wanna know the reason for how the photo of that boy for the first thing you see in the article got removed, because I noticed it existed last time it was archived on https://archive.ph/d8Jru archived at 11 Jan 2024 23:38:56 UTC. Luigi Cotocea (talk) 10:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The image was File:Angioedema2010.JPG. It was removed in this edit on 11 May 2024 by an IP address which has made no other edit. The reason given was "Removal of angioedema which is not anaphylaxis. Angioedema is treated differently, has different pathophysiology and if linked with anaphylas could cause deaths. Get a picture of anaphylaxis rather than angioedema which is bradykinin induced when anaphylaxis is mast cell histamine induced." That edit also removed angioedema from the infobox. The photo is present in that article. I don't know anything about the merits of the edit. Johnuniq (talk) 10:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did some research. Apparently, angioedema is often treated with antihistamines or corticosteroids to reduce swelling, while anaphylaxis requires immediate epinephrine injection to counteract severe allergic reactions. Simple as that... Luigi Cotocea (talk) 15:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Concerning #Skin, I reviewed reference 6 and, unless the medical community uses the term "e.g." (for example) differently than most others, I revised the statement to describe swelling, specifically angioedema, of the afflicted tissues rather than solely that of the lips.  If there was a reason for the previous wording, please correct that portion of my edit; otherwise — and except for providing an example of steroid use under #Management —, it was strictly clean-up.

-:Used a specific part as an example to keep the wordier clearer, but yes swelling can occur in any tissue. Swelling of the airway however is of course more concerning.

-I think the following change to that section would be an improvement compared to the present summary of the source document, though perhaps it is a bit too terse for most readers.  However, I am not a physician, so, perhaps it is silly, but ''I'll'' only make the change if one such approves it.  Or whatever:  you could be a Barbary pirate, for all I'd know.  [[User:JamesEG|JamesEG]] ([[User talk:JamesEG|talk]])
-Anaphylaxis is highly likely with [[Analysis|analytic]] [[diagnosis]] of the following [[symptom]]s:
-#Acute onset (minutes to several hours) of an [[illness]] involving the skin and/or [[Mucous membrane|mucosal tissue]] — for example, generalized [[Urticaria|hives]], [[itch]]iness, [[Flushing (physiology)|flushing]], or [[Swelling (medical)|swelling]] ([[angioedema]]) of the afflicted [[Tissue (biology)|tissues]] — and at least one of the following:
-##[[Respiratory distress|Respiratory difficulties]] (e.g., [[Dyspnea|shortness of breath]],  [[wheeze]]s or [[bronchospasm]], [[stridor]], reduced [[peak expiratory flow]], [[hypoxemia]])
-##Reduced [[blood pressure]] or associated symptoms of bodily dysfunction — such as [[Collapse (medical)|weak posture, falling,]] [[Hypotonia|lessened muscular response]], [[Syncope|fainting]], [[incontinence]]
-If exposure to a likely [[allergen]] is known, onset (also minutes to several hours) of the following two or more symptoms can be used by a [[Medicine|medical]] expert:
-#Involvement of the skin or mucosal [[Tissue (biology)|tissues]], as described above
-#[[Respiratory distress|respiratory difficulties]], as above
-#Reduced [[blood pressure]] or associated symptoms, as above
-#Persistent [[Gastrointestinal tract|gastrointestinal]] symptoms, such as crampy [[abdominal pain]] or [[vomiting]]
-If a known allergen was encountered, the occurance (also minutes to several hours) of reduced blood pressure, determined by:
-#Infants and children: low [[Systole_(medicine)|systolic]] blood pressure (which is depentant on age) or a greater than 30% decrease in systolic blood pressure
-#Adults: systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mm Hg or a decrease farther than 30% from that person’s baseline
-:can be used by a medical expert to diagnose anaphylaxis.

-::The current wording IMO is less complicated and IMO should thus be prefered. Never used the phrase "analytic diagnosis" before for example. Additionally one can simply say "within minute or hours" and leave the technical term acute out all together.
