Swollen Joints Subjects & Topics
For the main Gout Help Topics (Diagnosis, Treatments, and Diet), there are help sections including guidelines, factual explanations, and pointers to common myths that you and your doctor need to avoid. There are also relevant news items, and all these are listed on a Section hub page.
For Gout Reference Information, the sections are built round the Gout Pain Pathway (UDRP). Uric Acid leads to Urate Deposits, which cause an Immune Reaction, resulting in Gout Pain.
Thus, there are seven main sections, which are conveniently grouped on the menu that appears near the top of most pages.
Browsing To Fix Swollen Joints
The Menu Box organizes links to pages in a variety of ways. The first menu has buttons to access sub-menus, and some links to important pages. As you click sub-menu buttons, the menu is replaced with new links, with the top button changing to a link back to the preceding menu.
As you hover over a page link, the box to the right displays a short description of what the page is about. These are the descriptions at the top of the actual page.
Many are color-coded to identify the section they belong to. In addition to the main sections described above, there special pages that give vital help, and others that are not strictly about gout, but they are gout-related and of interest to gout sufferers and their carers.
Some pages cover more than one section, or cannot be categorized. These are coded with the default site colors.
