<P><FONT SIZE=2>I like the way the medical schema is filling out. This is really<BR>
looking useful.<BR>
<BR>
A more technical term for "disease cause" would be "etiology".<BR>
It might be useful to have a property on disease for affected<BR>
anatomical structure(s).<BR>
<BR>
For disease treatment with a compound (perhaps a more specific<BR>
co-type of disease treatment) it might be nice to have properties<BR>
for dosage, method of administration, and duration. Maybe these<BR>
constitute a prescription type?<BR>
