Cochrane Collaboration meeting in Vienna, October 1st

Hi Doc James,

I 've heard you might be able to visit the Cochrane Collaboration meeting in Vienna. Somebody (User:FloNight?) reserved some time for a wikipedian pre-colloquium . We've skyped with FloNight about this recently, and several people would like to attend, but we need some details. Are you, or ia FloNight planning to give a speech, a workshop, or anything else? Do you want us to prepare something? What will be our objective? Please answer on our wikiproject's subpage, English is OK. - Or, if I'm completely wrong, please forward this to whom it may concern. Regards, --MBq (talk) 08:56, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks User:MBq yes I will be there. FloNight is the one leading efforts. Will let her provide further details. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:03, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
I replied on the wikiproject's subpage. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 18:16, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi again, Sydney and I will have a chat about this event, on monday, August 31th 21:00 CEST (19:00 UTC, 15:00 EDT). If you like, feel free to enter at any time, irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-de-rm . Regards, --MBq (talk) 08:17, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

FILWISE

FILWISE (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has edited a number of medical articles without adding sources. I see you warned FILWISE in 2013 more than a few times. Some of the added info seems rather dubious. Such as "runny nose" being a symptom of smallpox. I don't see runny nose in the source. I have looked at a number of FILWISE's edits and have yet to find one where a source is added. The edits are quite wide-ranging and I would be quite surprised if FILWISE is that competent in all those areas. Sometimes it seems that the edits are a simple rehash of material in the current article such as this. I suspect wp:competence. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:48, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes not sure what to do. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:32, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
Is this addition to Template:Influenza acceptable? Jim1138 (talk) 16:25, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
It is sort of okay. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:28, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Category:RTT

I think Category:RTT should have a link to some page with an explanation of the purpose of the category, or text outlining the purpose. Otherwise people will be puzzled and/or want to remove it. Or, like me, they'll come here! Johnuniq (talk) 00:13, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

I am guessing it has something to do with translation but yes i agree with johnuniq.. very mysterious! Jytdog (talk) 00:16, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks good point. Described its purpose here Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:22, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Sensational project (WP:RTTS), thanks! Johnuniq (talk) 00:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to make all this noise, but there is a technical problem of some kind at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Medicine/Translation task force/RTT(Simplified). I thought I might be able to fix it, but the html is above my pay grade. The issue is that Template:TTF tabs is putting a heading and logo at the top, but that is obscuring the navigation links—when logged on in Firefox, the edit and history buttons are hidden, and when not logged on, other bad things happen. That's probably due to "margin-top: -120px" but someone at WP:VPT should be asked to fix it. It seems to work in Internet Explorer. It's trivia but it should be fixed. If wanted, I'll ask at WP:VPT. Johnuniq (talk) 00:47, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

User:Johnuniq does that fix it? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:32, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Ouch, what a kludge! Yes, it works, but if you think many people are going to see a page using that template, it would be better to ask someone at WP:VPT to fix it. At the moment, a logged on Firefox user with the Monobook skin sees the logo overlap the "Progress (short)" tab so the final "ort)" is not visible. If not logged on, or if using the Vector skin, the logo is above the tab boxes and so is ok. In both cases, there are three large blank lines at the top. This is all trivia, and I guess your users won't have Monobook, so an optimum solution may not be worth the bother. Johnuniq (talk) 03:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
User:CFCF made that template. Carl what do you think?Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:29, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
I wrote the template only for vector (seeing as nearly everyone uses it), but there are some simple solutions that can solve the problem for everyone else. I'll add it to my to-do list. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 06:42, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Type-2 pericytes participate in normal and tumoral angiogenesis

If you search you'll see it's placed around as a citation, is it legit? I ask as a spam IP is posting it everywhere. I'll likely have reported them in minutes, but wondered if the rest should be removed? Jerod Lycett (talk) 04:15, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Doc James

I figured that website would be a good reference for https://en.wikipedia.org/Mercaptopurine because Dr. Bressler is my gastroenterologist. He wrote the article https://www.trustedtherapies.com/articles/29-imuran-azathioprine-and-6-mp-6-mercaptopurine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YuleMyOwnBalk (talkcontribs) 21:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Okay. I have updated it with a better ref from AHFS. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:43, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Email heading your way

It's a bit time sensitive. Hope you're in a position to respond. Thanks! Risker (talk) 20:34, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks as always :-) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

olanzapine article

Can you please just link it to the article about suicidal ideation without trying to rephrase it? Suicidal ideation is not the same as suicidal or thinking too much about suicide. Suicidal thoughts = considering suicide. Suicidal ideation = not necessarily suicidal, but preoccupied with suicide and especially suicide scenarios. Thus the "ideation." We don't need to dumb this down, anyone reading the article about olanzapine should be capable of knowing what suicidal ideation is or can click on the link to read more. Otherwise it needs to be clear that the side effect is not feeling suicidal or suicidal thoughts (if you're a doctor you should know that "Have you had suicidal thoughts?" is a key question.) Мандичка 😜 21:43, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

User:Wikimandia we should generally try to write in easier to understand language rather than medical speak. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:49, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
Ideation is not medical speak at all: Ideation (idea generation). If we have to change it, I feel the simplest accurate phrase is "preoccupation with suicide." Мандичка 😜 21:53, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
Yes and suicidal ideations means "thinking a lot about suicide" or "suicidal thoughts" per this low quality source . Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:55, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
Why would you want a low-quality source? Мандичка 😜 23:10, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
There are lots of sources. Here is a good one. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:18, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
From what I understand, suicidal is suicidal. If you have a strong will to live, but you fantasize often about suicide, that is a cause for concern from a suicide prevention point of view. I don't see the use in differentiating between the two. Andrea Carter (at your service | my good deeds) 09:21, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Teflon

Did you read the article. I think the testing that was done for the lawsuits against DuPont and DuPont's documented internal testing are quite convincing. Must the source come from a legal journal? Does it need to be peer reviewed? I'm new to Misplaced Pages editing, would you provide some guidance to me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wedgwoodblue (talkcontribs) 02:24, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

If you are making medical claims you need high quality medical sources yes. This is not appropriate to place the content so prominently or to use the huggingtonpost. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:26, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

TS

Hey, Doc! Why'd you make that change at Tourette syndrome? The narrative no longer flows or makes sense ... is there a MEDMOS change I should know about ? I will now need to restructure all of the text to recover a narrative that makes sense. To talk about TS, you have to first understand what a tic is, and to understand TS, you have to position it on the spectrum of tic disorders, which also requires first a basic definition of a tic. Could we please return to the narrative that was reviewed at FAC? Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:46, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
