Hi
Recent edits to GynecomastiaHello, and thank you for your recent contributions. While the content of your edit may be true, I have removed it because its depth or nature of detail are not consistent with our objectives as an encyclopedia. Thank you! 🍺 Antiqueight 17:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
Book:Health care
Are Book:Health care (which I think numbers 100 entries, though I haven't verified) and the following table supposed to match each other exactly? Best. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 11:13, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Pharma companies exempt from Bright Line Rule?Many thanks for your comments about my contributions on this thread on Jimmy Wales' talk page. I'm still active, although, not so often as before. My open letter to pharma companies was meant to initiate discussions with them. My point was that they choose somebody from their company to reveal all conflicts of interests on his/her Misplaced Pages page and only suggest contributions to entries about their own products. This way we could transparently monitor their activities but they could ask our community to help with their entries. NCurse work 13:15, 23 October 2013 (UTC) Source for breast cancer imageHi James - I'm a bit confused by your comment at Talk:Breast cancer, indicating that " did not upload this image BTW". On the image's information page on Commons (File:RecurrentbreastCA1.gif) you are credited as the image's creator and the history looks like you uploaded it in 2009. If that information is not correct, please let me know so I can bring it to the attention of an admin over on Commons. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 12:44, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
SnakebiteHello, I'm the herpetologist (albeit a new, young and inexperienced one) that wrote the new section "Snakes of particular concern" and its sub-sections and I originally had galleries showing the species talked about in the article. I thought it was a good idea to make two separate galleries - one for the "Highly Dangerous" species category and one for the "Considerably Dangerous" species category - but you seem to think the galleries aren't necessary. I see you point, but I believe that most readers aren't as familiar with the species as you or I may be. Perhaps one gallery with only a few select photos of the more dangerous species (besides the black mamba and coastal taipan)? --DendroNaja (talk) 02:56, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

References and columnsIn the context of this edit, I would like to ask if there is any particular reason to prefer {{Reflist|colwidth=30em}} to {{Reflist|2}}. I prefer the latter (simple two column) as I have seen that the latter works fine whereas the 30em code does not work on many computers or browsers probably due to issues of browser or resolution specifications. I think that you would keep this in account. Diptanshu 07:37, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Removal of the MAOI reference on the nicotine articleHi, I was just curious as to why the part about how MAOI and nicotine co-administration increases dependency was removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.218.247.10 (talk) 12:13, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Nomination of Transcendental Meditation technique for deletionA discussion is taking place as to whether the article Transcendental Meditation technique is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Transcendental Meditation technique until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:57, 28 October 2013 (UTC) Re: Removing full citationsHi, sorry for using the {{cite doi}} template for those references. I was trying to tidy up the articles listed in the category Category:Pages_using_citations_with_old-style_implicit_et_al., and the {{cite doi}} template seemed to be the easiest way to include all the authors. For future edits I'll only edit the existing references rather than using the template. Cheers 564dude (talk) 01:44, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
nicotine maoi co-administrationThe article on nicotine used to have the following paragraph. Technically, nicotine is not significantly addictive, as nicotine administered alone does not produce significant reinforcing properties. However, after coadministration with an MAOI, such as those found in tobacco, nicotine produces significant behavioral sensitization, a measure of addiction potential. This is similar in effect to amphetamine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.218.247.10 (talk) 09:32, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Moving SectionsHi, James. This is a minor concern, but when you're moving sections like you recently did in dexmethylphenidate, it's better to move it all in one edit than it is to remove it in one and then add it in another. It just makes it easier to see what's going on in the diffs. Thanks. Exercisephys (talk) 15:12, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for input.My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Appreciate your comments about sources and writing style. Thank you. Just an FYI: These three links are the best overview of what's going on in psychiatry now, in my opinion, and where the field's heading (saw DSM-5 discussion at top of your page): http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=new-dsm5-ignores-biology-mental-illness http://www.nature.com/news/mental-health-on-the-spectrum-1.12842 Right now we have a 40% hit-rate with medication: meaning they work for only 40% of people upon being first prescribed, 30% of people they don't work for, another 30% they make symptoms worse or cause unintended new symptoms (these are the people us psychiatrists ought to be careful to protect; which is why family history, exclusions, and differentials are so important). I'm hearing from research colleagues that we'll have genetic tests in the next 7-10 yrs leading to more targeted treatment using our existing medications. This video gives a nice visual presentation of how the new research will be changing assessment and treatment: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/science-news/2013/introduction-to-rdoc.shtml Best wishes to you, Doc James, and thanks for your feedback.Youtalkfunny (talk) 23:40, 29 October 2013 (UTC) Dexmethylphenidate Intro
For the fifth time, I will state my point: that paragraph is bizarrely specific and does not summarize the article. Here are some questions that the intro should address that it doesn't:
Here is a question that should not be answered in the intro, but is:
That is not a summary of anything, it's something thrown in to make the drug appear threatening. This is something I deal with often as someone who edits articles about psychiatric medications. I can sniff it out with the nose of a bloodhound. Exercisephys (talk) 04:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Formation of New Tables. Do you have any corrections for themI am currently in the process of creating a table (see my Sandbox for its present form) with solely secondary/tertiary sources and where possible ones that are preferred by WP:MEDRS, although UpToDate is sometimes referenced where alternate cites are unavailable to provide the relevant information and from what I can tell the UpToDate page in question is free to access) and I wanted to know whether the Antidepressant page would be appropriate place to put it and whether or not there's something I missed in it that you would like fixed. Fuse809 (talk) 07:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Comparative adverse effects are the sources I gave, especially the UpToDate, Goodman and Gilman and AMH. As for the efficacy the 12 second-generation antidepressant lancet article and other efficacy sources (there's one specifically comparing agomelatine to the rest, there's also a few other sources I'm going to put up for drugs for which sources are currently not up (e.g. moclobemide). Fuse809 (talk) 09:12, 30 October 2013 (UTC) Oh and I've removed two categories (half life and dosing frequency as while they're interesting to me they're not really that interesting to laymen, or at least not unless they're looking for personal medical advice which is not the intended purpose of wikipedia med articles) to help the table fit the page better. Fuse809 (talk) 12:01, 30 October 2013 (UTC) While you're answering my queries I might as well ask a question about sources. There are several databases I access via Micromedex via my institution, two are DrugDex & DrugPoint two sources that seem unwelcome here but another, Martindale, which was (and still is but is less commonly updated as the book is huge and expensive) originally published as a book, seems like a respectable source (I may mention that drugbank is known to cite it from time to time) and I'm wondering how much of a problem it would be if I cited it. Fuse809 (talk) 15:06, 30 October 2013 (UTC) Wikis and Collaborative Writing Applications in Health Care: A Scoping ReviewHi James,
A kitten for you!Just wanted to say thanks for your input on the amph talk page. I doubt many people would have been willing to read through a thread that long. Seppi333 (talk) 23:28, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
SuicideHow Sati is a suicide? When it was done by the women, only for escaping from the invaders, like it's mentioned in main page? It's wasn't just practiced in India either, plus it's forbidden by hindu texts, so how it's a "hindu practice" either? It was never legal to do, but still women had to do, so that they can save themselves from getting abucted by the invaders. There's no proof if it was ever legal, it's same as saying that murder was legal everywhere until the court were established.. Bladesmulti (talk) 03:30, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Something like that. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:27, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
"Sati, a now outlawed practice, expected the widow to immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre, usually in order to save herself from getting abducted by invaders, either willingly or under pressure from the and society." Bladesmulti (talk) 14:35, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Move requestCan you please move Baller-Gerold syndrome to Baller–Gerold syndrome with the page history and redirect the other accordingly. Reason: Improper hypenation. I do not think that there would be any issue with the move. Diptanshu 07:52, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Mark Hyman (doctor)Would you do me a favour (no hurry) and take a look at Mark Hyman (doctor)? I think there was a G11 involved somewhere along the line, but it's late here, and the redirect trail has boggled me a bit for the moment. Thanks. Begoon 16:01, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Column width as per resoulutionRequesting you to participate in the discussion on my talk page. Wish to get your inputs on the topic. Hello, Doc James. You have new messages at Diptanshu.D's talk page.You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Diptanshu 17:03, 3 November 2013 (UTC) About your edits on AnencephalyConcerning the edit on Anencephaly, I have restored the previous format of the article which I believe has been decided after considerable debate on Talk:Anencephaly#Image move. We aim to WP:Request for comment to decide the ultimate form of the article. Apart from this I have tried to raise the issue on Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style#Collapsible galleries concerning content of difficult nature in medicine concerning medical images of graphic nature. As an administrator and a very active member contributing to medical articles on Misplaced Pages it would be of utmost value to hear your opinion in both talk pages Talk:Anencephaly#Image move & Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style#Collapsible galleries concerning content of difficult nature in medicine. I am also aware that WT:MOS states:
and
In my opinion the collapsible gallery makes Misplaced Pages easier when it comes to conveying information to both the general public as well as medical professionals, and the departure from WT:MOS may be a acceptable compromise. Looking forward to hearing from you. -- CFCF (talk) 23:24, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
DexamfetamineAccording to WP:PHARMMOS we are meant to use INN names as drug article titles. Yet for some reason that escapes me the dexamfetamine article is titled Dextroamphetamine which is the USAN. I don't know how to change the name of article but I assume it would be involve moving the article to the newly named article which I think is something only an admin, like yourself, is able to do. Fuse809 (talk) 01:36, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Administrator request to add new task forceHello, I hope you are enjoying your holiday! I was wondering if you would be so kind as to make the changes to the {{WP:MED}} template to include a new task force, society and medicine. It looks very complicated to make a change, and I'm not sure non-adminstrators are able (WP:MEDTF) The task force page is here: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Medicine/Society_and_medicine_task_force, and I've already created the relevant categories. I hope through this task force we can make a positive change to a growing subset of articles under the scope of WP:Med. LT910001 (talk) 06:08, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
Move requestCan you please move Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond syndrome to Shwachman–Diamond syndrome with the page history and redirect the other accordingly. Reason: The latter term in widely used in scientific literature whereas the former is not commonly used. Even the article lead uses the latter directly and not the former. I do not think that there would be any issue with the move. Diptanshu 10:00, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
The Signpost: 06 November 2013Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2013-11-04 HypercholesterolemiaHello Jmh649: I added the "See Also" section because I think The China Study adds something important to the discussion about why many people develop hypercholesterolemia. Why did you delete it? Are you familiar with the book? Hill's Angel (talk) 14:31, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Kanna Page -- Formatting problemHi, you're the only admin I know so I thought I'd ask you how I would put four images in a single cell. On the Sceletium tortuosum pages I have been trying to add four images of the plant's constituent alkaloids and I'd like to put them into a single cell at the end of the pharmacology section. Fuse809 (talk) 09:12, 11 November 2013 (UTC) Oh, never mind, I just figured the answer out for myself, thanks anyway. Fuse809 (talk) 09:34, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Dumb QuestionHey Jmh, how do I format the user:WPMED on my own page? Somehow mine is formatted differently and I'm unsure how to fix it. Any advice on that would be appreciated since it looks pretty bad ATM. Thanks buddy! TylerDurden8823 (talk) 05:11, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
RevertHi Jmh649, I noticed you reverted the "article alerts" page on WPMed. I'm guessing this was an accident, as it is pretty useless to see PRODs and AFDs etc from last month, so I've reverted back to the up-to-date version. --LT910001 (talk) 07:08, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
WP:BRDTelling me to look at policy when you yourself have failed to observe it is a smarmy and incongruous exercise. I have already discussed it. YOU are challenging it without discussion. I will keep reverting this everyday until you start discussing this. Now do I have your attention? -- Jodon | Talk 12:55, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
RevertI would like to know why you keep reversing the information on Omega-3 fatty acids, Cancer: risk of prostate cancer when The American Cancer society cancer.org and the American Cancer Centers, National Cancer Institute have the exact opposite position? http://www.cancer.org/cancer/news/news/omega-3-fatty-acids-linked-to-increase-in-prostate-cancer-risk Petmo100 (talk) 16:29, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
