Hello Doc James, It was some time since i was on Wikipedia and I found some mesages on my page also observed with your helping eye. 1. I have today sent a permission for free use of the 4 pictures on Plasma-Cell Gingivitis page. 2. I need your help with a detail on the Smoker´s melanosis page. I see that "there is no page for Smoker´s melanosis" but för Smoker Melanosis. You will notice the problem, when you go to Google and search for the following subject in Wikipedia and see the following text:
There is no page "Smoker´s melanosis. You may create the page "Smoker´s melanosis", but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered.

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you again on your holiday but I'm creating a new table for the flavonoids page in my sandbox comparing the various properties of the different flavonoid compounds and what I wanted to ask you is for some help on some formatting issues. See I'm trying to get the top row in the table "Flavonols" vertically centerred at the left-hand side of the row and an image (namely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FlavonolGen2DACS.svg) in the center of the row and I'm failing miserably at it.

Nope, I know how to do that. Thanks anyway. I meant without the line between the flavonols and the image. Fuse809 (talk) 18:59, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you deleted my corrections on Melanoma topic (about treatment), because I copy-pasted information from resource. I worked on my mistakes and changed the text, so please don't delete it, if it's OK right now. If not, will be happy to receive any recommendations.

Please use high quality references per WP:MEDRS such as review articles or major textbooks. Note that review articles are NOT the same as peer reviewed articles. A good place to find medical sources is TRIP database Thanks.

Have just added 7 meta analysis looking at the subject in question. Looks like if anything they prevent some types of cancer. As Wikipedia editors are not in and of themselves verifiable the content added must be supported entirely by the references they are associated with.

Hi James, any chance you know how to fix the formatting problem in this article's infobox with the ICD10 bit? Also, I'd like to ask you if you'll help me improve the article further. If you have any suggested articles that would be suitable for inclusion in the article, let me know. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 06:02, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello Jmh649: I added a citation to a JAMA article that used the term "arteriosclerosis." If that's wrong, please let me know. Hill's Angel (talk) 21:20, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Marfan syndrome has pending revisions by an IP editor. They seem OK to me, but I don't know how to "approve" the edits... any ideas? Lesion (talk) 23:34, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the message. I usually use the preferred method, but it was just more convenient to copy-paste from another source in this case and I was hoping a bot would parse it into better formatting for me. I really need to commit to memory how the numbers at the end of journal citations translate to volume, issue, etc. mcs (talk) 06:21, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
I'd ask that you kindly please stop removing the link to the Febrile Seizures Organisation. As you know we are non-profit and have helped thousands of parents find information into this devastating condition. And with no money we have few other means of them finding us than via wikipedia. No-one else has ever complained in the year that it has been there and thousands of parents have thanked us. Your removal of the link denies thousands of parents the peace of mind that the information on our site brings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.7.37.5 (talk) 09:25, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
Apologies for the previous edits. This is emotional stuff. We cant afford google adwords and all the free google search results are generic local health authority pages. We started the site to finally unify all the world's information and research on FS into one place. So we have editted various sections with where relevant references to our site where we definitively lead the world in information so those links are 100% valid and justified. Our intentions are purely charitable and in 'good faith' and without an outreach of some sort from wikipedia we might as well shut up shop. That would be a very sad day indeed.
James - We have synthesized hundreds of articles (often conflicting) into a concise summary and definitive resource. We even cleaned up some of the misleading and inaccurate content for the topic. You should be ashamed that you have removed all the detail in the causes section, in general cheery-picking references and have now left a page that is factually inaccurate. Your arrogance to simply wipe out peer reviewed detail when you have no idea about the topic beggars belief. And you continue to remove all references to our site or acknowledge any of our work. Our site is the best reference site for febrile seizures and your continued vendetta against us is an embarrassment to your profession and wikipedia itself. This page is now a testament to your ignorance. Read this article and listen - http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/520446/the-decline-of-wikipedia/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.7.37.5 (talk) 09:48, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
Ok, so the cabal continues. You guys should be ashamed. I assure you we are working with all the experts in the field and have numerous published articles to draw upon. But our site is NOT for academic reference, it is for the 20 million, yes 20 million parents today that are living with a child who has seizures. They don't need peer-reviewed citations, they just need accurate advice and support. Which pathetically wikipedia does not now have and they now have no way of finding us. If you want accurate information for your page then I suggest you read our site and see what you can 'synthesize'. Pathetic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.7.37.5 (talk) 10:02, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello,
Thanks for relying to my edits suggestion. The studies mentioned are published in Nature and Science, top scientific journals, and attract a lot of attention online. Of note, in the last three years, the role of host innate immunity in HIV pathogenesis has became a main the focus of research in HIV/AIDS biology, as more and more HIV-interacting host proteins are being identified. (Search for HIV and innate immunity, SAMHD1, TREX1, IFI16, etc). However, because this fast developing ares of research, there is no review yet that summarizes these findings. I still think that Wikipedia cannot ignore these important and relevant scientific developments.
A lay language summary of these latest developments may alternatively be found here:

I've been watching the battle royale going on at cough medicine and the disclaimer discussion. I'm happy to jump in and support, if you want, but sometimes I find it's better not to engage with certain wikieditors as they have little desire to build consensus. Either way, I agree with tact you're taking by asking for good evidence. Just say the word if you'd like more help with the point-by-point arguments. Ian Furst (talk) 19:23, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
I would like to draw your attention towards Eb1999 (talk · contribs). This user had left a note on my userpage without including a topic heading or signature. I have doubts to whether there is any validity in what he has said. In response to what I wrote on his talk page he included the text Last week,i found out that from the day of pentecost as recorded in the bible,believers in Christ are filled with the Holy Spirit as though ,the Spirit came upon them as stated in the bible<in Acts 2>--EB1999 14:20, 28 December 2013 (UTC) which in no way relates to what I had been saying.

In the Adverse Effects section it states that "Circumcision does not appear to decrease the sensitivity of the penis, harm sexual function or reduce sexual satisfaction. The Royal Dutch Medical Association's 2010 Viewpoint mentions that 'complications in the area of sexuality" have been reported.'" I added it to the top of the page since it states the first claim and not the second. --Prcc27 (talk) 03:37, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

The use of Baclofen has progressed in France to the point that the national agency which considers the safety of medicines has changed its position and has now recommended unanimously that the drug be given an RTU, a recommendation to use. Here is the discussion: http://baclofene.fr/pdf/CR_CT012013023_Pharmacovigilance.pdf
There are two issues which arise in respect of public health. First, there is he question of whether it should be used by doctors in treating alcoholism, even if it is an off-licence use because of the seriousness of alcoholism. There is also the public health issue which is arising as a result of the now widespread use of the drug by a growing community of people who are self-prescribing and getting advice on internet forums from other self prescribers. They are buying this medication over the internet.
As the drug is now being used by tens of thousands of alcoholics in France alone and is going to be approved for use in France, it is impossible to turn back the clock and stop people finding out about this drug so there is a Catch-22 situation. One cannot ignore the users of this drug and not deal with the issue that the use of the drug is escalating exponentially since 2009. If the argument against doctors prescribing has to do with lack of trials, nevertheless, they have to be made aware that the drug is being used by a growing self prescribin community.
In relation to the prescribing of the drug and the need for trials, the medicine does not require licencing to be prescribed and can be used now. I have correspondence from the General Medical Council in the UK confirming that it is appropriate for doctors to prescribe baclofen in consultation with their patients now as is the case with many off-licence applications of drugs in other areas. I expect the position in respect of off-licence use is the same everywhere. There are forums for baclofen users in France, Germany and the USA. Here is the French site run by doctors in Paris: http://www.baclofene.fr/portal.phpBurdenedwithtruth (talk) 06:54, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
"Circumcision does not appear to have a negative impact on sexual function." is also said more than once in the article as well. --Prcc27 (talk) 08:48, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

I had heard that wikipedia is unfriendly to new contributors and now I see why. I put a lot of effort into that and you blew it away in a few minutes with a canned response. The current initial paragraph on treatment is about 7 years out of date as NNRTIs are now only one of four preferred first line regimens. The referenced WHO guideline includes NVP based regimens which have been shown to have increased mortality and have been taken out of all current guidelines. You also reverted the citation of the US DHHS guidelines to a prior version which has been revised twice since. I'm sorry if my style is not correct, but the substance was improved.

I noticed your recent edits to the article on Synesthesia. I can see you put a lot of hard work into that. I just wanted to ask you about something. The caption under the illustration to the right of the section on "Diagnosis" that starts "2Reaction times" does not make sense to me. Major: The syntax needs to be fixed in order for it to make sense. Minor: "2Reaction" needs a space between "2" and "reaction", and I don't think "reaction" needs to be capitalized.CorinneSD (talk) 22:34, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi JMH,
I decided to work on meth for GA since it won't take me very long to fix and it gets a lot of traffic. I've added all the sections that I intend to expand or rewrite and re-cite in that article, but I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at the layout and make any necessary changes or add any relevant new sections. I did intentionally deviate from MEDMOS on two things though:
Regards, Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 23:34, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Since this is right up your alley and I'm not 100% sure I paraphrased this correctly, could you take a look at/copyedit Methamphetamine#Emergency treatment? The page should be ready for GA-review after that.
The source is the Desoxyn label:
OVERDOSAGE
Manifestations of acute overdosage with methamphetamine include restlessness, tremor, hyperreflexia, rapid respiration, confusion, assaultiveness, hallucinations, panic states, hyperpyrexia, and rhabdomyolysis. Fatigue and depression usually follow the central stimulation. Cardiovascular effects include arrhythmias, hypertension or hypotension, and circulatory collapse. Gastrointestinal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Fatal poisoning usually terminates in convulsions and coma.
Consult with a Certified Poison Control Center regarding treatment for up to date guidance and advice. Management of acute methamphetamine intoxication is largely symptomatic and includes gastric evacuation, administration of activated charcoal, and sedation. Experience with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis is inadequate to permit recommendations in this regard.
Acidification of urine increases methamphetamine excretion, but is believed to increase risk of acute renal failure if myoglobinuria is present. Intravenous phentolamine (Regitine*) has been suggested for possible acute, severe hypertension, if this complicates methamphetamine overdosage. Usually a gradual drop in blood pressure will result when sufficient sedation has been achieved. Chlorpromazine has been reported to be useful in decreasing CNS stimulation and sympathomimetic effects.
Sorry for bother you again with all these requests! Thanks/Regards, Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 02:46, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
