any connection of onset of Rhabdomyolysis to a previous h.pylori infection? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpfan592 ( talk • contribs) 19:39, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ῥάβδος (rhábdos, “rod, wand”). It also explains rhabdomere. 2600:1700:4CA1:3C80:ED78:EA7D:6EE1:95DA ( talk) 06:04, 24 November 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks it's already included - PMID 35136842 CV9933 ( talk) 17:02, 26 January 2023 (UTC) reply

I noticed at least one cause was omitted from the in-text summary despite being in the cited source. So I added that one, and gave it a more recent and better source. I've found a bunch of other very recent sources, too, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to add those or if there are enough? Kalany ( talk) 23:33, 6 July 2023 (UTC) reply
