Hi Doc Thanks for the feedback on the Malnutrition article which you are right to say i (almost) cut and pasted So if I paraphrase / edit and resubmit with a link is that OK? I can also get a research link to Maury Massler's work ... Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4Destiny2020 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The source is also not sufficient per WP:MEDRS User:4Destiny2020 Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:10, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Probable copyvio

Hi James, these edits don't pass the smell test (note the copypasted ref numbers) but I don't have time now to hunt down the source. Could you manage a check? LeadSongDog come howl! 23:26, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GA review on Milk allergy starts Friday

GA review on Milk allergy starts Friday. I just added a Regulation of labeling sub-section, and am considering adding content on cross-reactivity with soy. You are welcome to chime in. David notMD (talk) 04:08, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Noam Weisbrod

Recently you added a maintenance template to the Noam Weisbrod article. As part of a COI edit request I was reviewing, I rewrote much of the article and removed the template. I wanted to ask if you could visit the page at your earliest convenience in order to garner your support of this change. If it still does not meet with your approval, please let me know asap and I will re-add the template. I look forward to your response on the article's talk page. Thank you for your time.

User:Spintendo the article is not based on secondary sources but is simple a point form descrition of the primary sources they have published. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:08, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alfuzosin

The side effects on Alfuzosin don't match those on https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a604002.html#side-effects How does one go about updating the list? May I just copy/paste the list to the article? Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 21:38, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jim1138 Most lists of side effects vary some between sources.

Can one copy and paste? The source you point to is fully copyrighted by the ASHP and thus you would need to paraphrase from their list. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:03, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to paraphrase a list of specific items... I'll just add it as a reference. Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 01:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kallmann syndrome

Thank you for the updates.

I hope to do the treatment section next. I have the text prepared with references. I do have the concern that I will end up using 3 review articles for the bulk of the article but I think with a condition as rare as Kallmann syndrome the choice of reference is limited if I am going to stick to review article only.

I hope the changes I have made so far look ok. I have prepared a change to the gene table which is in the Talk section of the page.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

These are good sources User:Neilsmith38

Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

.....thank you. I have copies of those articles printed out and will be using them when I update the Treatment section. Thank you for the update today, the only reason I moved it was because I did not want to repeat too much in the article, but I can see the opening section should contain all the relevant basic details.

I hope I am going the right direction with this article. Thank you for your input.

Westbrook University entry

Hi, Doc,

Thanks for your note.

I can appreciate why you reverted the Westbrook entry to what you had written. My concern is that, to me, your entry all but dismisses Westbrook as bogus. My research suggests otherwise.

I certainly agree with the legitimacy of pointing out that Westbrook is not accredited by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation. Indeed, I added that detail to the version I submitted earlier today. But, to me, ignoring any of Westbrook’s credentials, including its recognition by the American Academy of Family Physicians as an approved CME provider, is incomplete and, to me, suggests a negative bias.

I just did a LinkedIn search and found many accomplished healthcare professionals with advanced Westbrook degrees, including Massachusetts General Hospital’s Wellness Center director, whose Westbrook Ph.D. the hospital recognizes. (I say it recognizes it because I also read the Wellness Center director’s bio on the Mass General website.)

I hope we can find some middle ground that is accurate and fair.

Meniere's disease, not Tinnitus

You are quite correct, there is not mention of Lipo-flavonoid for Tinnitus. The intent was to insert the statement and reference for Meniere's disease, the topic of the 1st reference and for which the 2nd reference indicates there is no recognized treatment, but by error it went into the wrong (Tinnitus) article. Thank you for noticing this. --Zeamays (talk) 01:31, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:MEDRS Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:10, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your revert. Please take no further action without community agreement in the Talk:Lipo-flavonoid page. --Zeamays (talk) 14:02, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Community consensus is to follow WP:MEDRS for medical content. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:36, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When Editing

Do you mind making a quick note about the changes you're making, particularly when reverting a portion of recent edits. You altered one of my edits here. I can see that you added back in the repeating reference (all the half lives come from the same source, so why not just have one reference after sublingual/buccal?), but I'm not sure why. Thanks.

Sure, I removed one of the extra h's from hours, added back a ref, and we only really need one image of fentanyl patches.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:49, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pneumonia

Hi James, I am done with the pneumonia article for today. Would you mind reviewing the vaccination section? Hope your week is going well, Thanks. Jenny JenOttawa (talk) 03:36, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kallmann syndrome.

Hello Dr James,

Thank you for keeping an eye on the article. I hope the changes I have made so far have been acceptable so far. I am trying to improve the quality of the article the best I can.

I left a couple of suggestions on the Kallmann syndrome talk page but one question I wanted to ask was about the mentioning of notable people with a certain medical condition. I think with a condition as rare as KS it would be good if we could mention a couple of patients. I did have two patients in the past, both of whom have Wiki articles, Jimmy Scott and Brian Brett. Having KS is mentioned on both their articles and have influenced their careers. They have been mentioned in the article before but were deleted by another author. I was thinking of mentioning them again in the "History" section. I hope this would be acceptable.

Thank you. Regards. Neilsmith38 (talk) 15:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
