Impressive additions to the Pregnancy article. Once we unprotect Abortion I'd love to get your input over there. Good luck and feel free to drop a line on user talk:tznkai if you have any questions or comments.--Tznkai 18:12, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Likewise, welcome, and thanks for your additions to pregnancy. As a matter of style and form, I'd suggest making vertical lists into two-colums (easier to read, saves space), and moving lists down below toward the middle. The reason being is that definitions arent always prerequisites for the average end user, and in fact, we can make it a footer, with each entry dynamically linked from the article. I would do it now, but Im done for today. Sinreg, and happy editing, SV|t 19:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] UTI

Thanks for expanding that article. Please note that boldface is only really used in the intro for the article title, and emphasis otherwise is made with italics. See the manual of style for details. PS have you joined WikiProject Clinical medicine. JFW | T@lk 07:00, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to wikipedia. I reverted a couple of your contributions related to puberty. If you look carefully at the restorations you will see that the original versions corresponded more closely and accurately to our current understanding of puberty and terminology usage. If you still need explanation of the differences or think something can be made clearer tell me what parts you thought needed to be changed and I would be happy to explain in more detail or revise. A pediatric endocrinology text would be a good starting point for honing your understanding of puberty. I've taught this topic to medical students for many years. alteripse 02:46, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MEN Syndromes

Hi I wasn't aware that they had renamed the MEN2 syndromes. Do you have a reference for this? Ta Ianmc 21:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE MEN syndromes

Im not sure why your user page isn't valid, but anyhow, I didnt change the naming convention on that wiki page, just the contents under each listing. Current naming convention is MEN 1, MEN 2A, and MEN 2B and not MEN 1, 2, 3.

[edit] Chaos

I agree that diabetes mellitus is particularly messy. I don't think everything should be in that article. It would be too long, and the details would distract from the main flow. I have outlined on Talk:Diabetes mellitus how I thought the article and its subarticles should be organised. So far I have not had the time to make that article better.

Pneumonia is a good example of a general-purpose article with subarticles. JFW | T@lk 07:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Acute pericarditis

Hey, there's already an article on pericarditis. Would it be cool if I merge your article into it and leave a redirect? Thx. -- Samir (the scope) 23:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, makes sense now... Constrictive pericarditis is all over the internal medicine textbooks because of the unique hemodynamics and P/E findings, but my understanding is that it's quite rare. Go ahead with the two articles, I'm sure you'll improve things, and then we can sort out the redirects -- Samir

(the scope) 01:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! You're doing a great job with the article! I'm looking to see if I kept an ECG of acute pericarditis -- Samir (the scope) 04:13, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dysphagia

I like the changes you made! I'm going to copyedit a bit. Couldn't find my pericarditis ECG, have to scour the office. -- Samir (the scope) 02:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hemorrhagic stroke

Hi, sorry to get back to you so late, I've been so busy it's stupid. Sure, I have no problem with the merge, but did you discuss it with others on the talk page of one of the pages first? That way if anyone else has a problem with it it can be discussed. You can also use the {{mergeto|X}} and {{mergefrom|Y}} templates to suggest the merge. Thanks for your hard work! Peace, delldot | talk 14:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ulcerative colitis

I like the changes that you made to the treatment -- kudos for that! As a gastroenterologist, there's a few changes that you made to the UC article that are not exactly legit... C Diff toxin IS part of the initial management of UC, IV cyclosporine is almost NEVER used in the era of ACT-2, UC is a systemic inflammatory disease, clubbing is caused by UC, C Diff can cause rectal bleeding, AXR is routine in management of the first UC patient, even though ACG guidelines suggest not surveying L sided colitis for cancer, AGA, ASGE, CAG, European guideliens suggest it, and you should always cannulate the TI if it can be done safely in order to distinguish UC from CD. Do you have refs for your diffs? Thanks. -- Samir (the scope) 03:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

And you're invited to help out. Please check out WikiProject Gastroenterology when you get a chance. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 08:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] neglected diseases

Hi, I was looking through your category of neglected diseases and I was wondering is there any references (ie from the WHO or CDC categorizing these listed diseases as being neglected? It seems that those diseases affect the neglected and the poor, which is why they are named as such, but I'm not sure if that term is generally accepted by international standards since there are so many other diseases that can affect the neglected. thanks. Andrewr47 02:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure who defined the 13 neglected diseases, but the list can be found in various/many places on the net. They were probably defined by the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi). The diseases are not diseases of neglected people, but diseases which are neglected by drug companies' R&D departments. —Pengo ^{talk · contribs} 02:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Please see the main article on Neglected Diseases instead of just the category. —Pengo ^{talk · contribs} 02:32, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
