Okay, sure, you know for 3 years one or two times in month i see like that gifs for half second, they are what i see but if you think it's not correct i fix them. but please tell me exactly what i should create for Oscillopsia?--Mr.Polaz (talk) 00:24, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Concerning your revert Ref says o.4: This is not true. The source clearly says that 0.4 is for the symptothermal method only, which is exactly what I was trying to clarify. --rtc (talk) 10:38, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
User:JzG has reverted my most recent attempt to find a version that we can both accept on birth control, and threatens to block me again because I allegedly dispected you as "a qualified medical professional with peer-reviewed publications to his name". What is your own opinion on my new version? Do you agree with User:JzG that my version is still not good? --rtc (talk) 19:23, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
@JzG, you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about personal attacks. It is not an attack to suspect someone may have misunderstood a surprising mathematical property and hint him at this possiblity. @Doc James: I well understand your opinion (which I don't share) that nothing is wrong with the preexisting content, but that was not my question. My question was about your opinion on my most recent version, reverted by JzG --rtc (talk) 22:14, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Again you did not answer my question. And, frankly, I find it quite provocative that you now started reverting more of my changes. The source does not use the notion of "total sexual abstinence". Nor does it advocate such a thing. In fact, it presents both various degrees of abstinence from any kind of sexual activity, and it presents abstinence from vaginal intercourse, which it calls "outercourse". --rtc (talk) 22:19, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
MS Walid
Have you heard of MS Walid? Is he notable? He has been a naughty boy.
Yup, mainly complete now, but just wondering if this is actually a noted authority. I don't think so, but I don't want to degrade content. Guy (Help!) 16:40, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
At the risk of seeming picayune, I still think we should use "prevalence" up front (and linked), because 1) most readers will not know what "at some point" refers to (yes, they can click the link, but I think we should use precise terminology up front whenever possible); and 2) prevalence refers to a specific point in time (unless one uses one of the three more specific forms of the term, as discussed in the first paragraph of prevalence. Consider the following:
prevalence: The number or proportion of cases or events or conditions in a given population.
Prevalence refers to the total number of individuals in a population who have a disease or health condition at a specific period of time, usually expressed as a percentage of the population.
Prevalence—The number of cases of a disease, infected people or people with some other attribute present during a particular interval of time. It often is expressed as a rate.
Glossary of Public Health Terms - Iowa Department of Public Health
Prevalence is the proportion of people in a population who have some attribute or condition at a given point in time or during a specified time period.
At "some point in time" simply means "the percentage of people affected at some point in their life". Seems to be fairly clear English to me. Not sure what you feel is not understandable about it? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:44, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
I appreciate you debating this with me because it forced me to think more carefully. I now realize that my concern is that there are different types of prevalence, about which most laypeople--and many professionals--are not aware, or do not understand fully. For example, although I've had graduate coursework in public health & epidemiology, I usually have to look up definitions to make sure I understand the type of prevalence referenced in an article. As I thought about this question, I also realized I better double check DSM-5 to ascertain which type of prevalence they use. I'm glad I did so because DSM-5 indicates that lifetime morbid risk is 8.7% (DSM-5 uses a less common term, "projected lifetime risk") and 12-month prevalence is 3.5%. I changed the infobox accordingly - see what you think. Thanks - - Mark D Worthen PsyD(talk)06:50, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
I was trying to get "intrusive" in there, but I actually like your wording better--"disturbing" connotes intrusive and your phrasing is succinct. / I also like your edit to "12-month risk". :O) - Mark D Worthen PsyD(talk)05:25, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
I added rectal gel because a suppository is a solid dosage form that is inserted into the rectum while a rectal gel is not solid clearly you are not a real doctor if you do not not know the difference between a suppository and a rectal gel trust me i am not a doctor and i know the difference between a rectal gel and a suppository as i have taken laxative suppositories and they look very different from the diazepram rectal gel but the laxative suppositories look like the photo on the suppository article you should read the article on suppositories wikipedia has a article on them — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.169.153.34 (talk) 12:37, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi James. Please could you tell me whether this message (see the link) would be suitable to post at the discussion board for WikiProject Medicine?
My understanding is that the complement system is relevant for WP:Physiology, but that seems inactive. But then maybe WP:Physiology is a subgroup of WP:Medicine? Anyway, please give me your thoughts on whether I should post it on WP:Medicine at all (I was thinking here), if you have the time to check. Thank you! --Treetear (talk) 17:06, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
I think your inclusion of an unpublished meta-analysis in an obscure journal is not justified, and should be deleted. Better to wait for CDC/WHO to continue to review the evidence and see if they change their evaluation of the evidence. I only read the abstract because I won't pay for reading an non-peer reviewed article. Did you review the entire article and decide that this is recommendation-changing evidence?
