| == Baaclofen == | |||
| 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.

MethamphetamineHi 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:

Edit conflictI will section edit Cluster headache#Signs and symptoms to avoid ec. Regards, Lesion (talk) 04:28, 3 January 2014 (UTC) CitationsI 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.

RfCHi Doc James. FYI - I revised Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Medicine/RFC on medical disclaimer using your user name. -- Jreferee (talk) 16:29, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
EquianalgesiaHey there. I wanted to ask if you'd be willing — over the next month or two — to assist me in verifying, referencing, and restandardizing the data contained in this chart. Best, — C M B J 11:42, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
SynesthesiaI 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)

Re: BotHi Doc James! BattyBot 25 is working to fix dates in references that do not meet MOS:DATEFORMAT. Eventually, dates in incorrect formats will have a Check date values message visible for everyone to see, so the goal of the bot is to fix many of the common unambigious formats before the message gets switched on. We're still finding lots of creative bad date formats (as you can see on my talk page), which is why the bot is on its second run through Category:CS1 errors: dates. All of the changes are getting bundled together for future runs, as you suggested. We haven't decided how often the bot should run, but your input at Help talk:Citation Style 1 would be appreciated. It would be great if we could change the citation templates so whatever format people put in would be displayed properly. If we only had one valid date format for all of Misplaced Pages, that might even be possible. However, with multiple acceptable formats, I don't know how this could be done. Any programming expertise you could provide at Help talk:Citation Style 1 would also be appreciated. Most importantly, I understand that the standard watchlist only shows the most recent edit to an article, and if multiple people (or bots) edit on the same day, it takes more clicks to view the entire history to keep an eye out for vandalism. I recently learned that if you set your Preferences to Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist and Expand watchlist to show all changes, not just the most recent, you'll be able get a more complete picture of all the edits that were recently made to an article. So instead of Hepatitis C just showing BattyBot, you could see on your watchlist that Donpayette and Flaming Ferrari also recently edited the page. (You may also want to increase the maximum numberof changes to show in expanded watchlist, depending on how many pages you're watching.) Thanks, and happy editing!

Your GA nomination of EpilepsyHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Epilepsy you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.
Scalable reference columnsHi Doc James, I may agree with you about the refs being too wide for 30em . 45em may be better - in my browser the average refs are now one or two lines. How does that compare to fixed for you? Widefox; talk 23:32, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
