Schizophrenia

I have answered you on my talk page. Please consider reverting back to my edit as there is scanty information on prevention. Please see: The greatest risk for developing schizophrenia is having a first-degree relative with the disease (risk is 6.5%) and A number of drugs have been associated with the development of schizophrenia, including cannabis, cocaine, and amphetamines. This is not original research simply math that shows the addition of genetic and environmental factors. Glennconti (talk) 16:19, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thus, it seems that cannabis can be conceptualized as a cumulative causal factor in some individuals, acting in concert with other vulnerability factors to promote the manifestation of the illness in some individuals who might otherwise have remained schizophrenia free. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2659306/

Doesn't the above confirm that "Children of schizophrenics might try to avoid substance abuse so as not to increase their chances of developing schizophrenia" and might be included in the article as a fact to aid in prevention? Glennconti (talk) 19:56, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We already state this on the page and do not need to state it twice.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:09, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you absolutely sure that a mention in the "Prevention" section is not warranted?Glennconti (talk) 20:18, 1 January 2012(UTC)

You could ask for others input on the talk page but that would be my position. Unless of course there is a review articles which stated that avoiding drugs/detox/drug prevention programs are useful for prevention.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:29, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your input and concerns. I have initiated a section on the talk page. Glennconti (talk) 20:48, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, happy to hear what others feel. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:49, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for mentoring me through wikipedia medical article updates. Just a question --- with your edit "While cannabis use is accepted as a contributory cause of schizophrenia by some" you are stating "some" while my edit implied "many". Is "some" really an accurate term to describe the current state of affairs? Again I appreciate your help. Thanks again. Glennconti (talk) 21:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to be so bold as to change your edit to "many" from "some" based on the "now widely accepted" quote. Please revert if it is not accurate. Glennconti (talk) 22:19, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have the distinct feeling that I am a bull in the china shop as far as featured medical articles are concerned. Please be frank with me. Am I adding to this article or just making more work for other people to clean up? My last edit i had hoped was important but I don't want to do anything to jeopardize the FA status. Glennconti (talk) 20:04, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There might be some value to PMID 19748375 or PMID 18844804 for this. Also, I note that PMID 19609589 is clear that cannabis is neither a necessary nor sufficient cause, rather it is part of a complex interaction which is not well understood.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year James! Hope this one is a good one for you. This edit summary amused me. Can you imagine what might happen if the "lay public" wrote medical articles on Wikipedia? One shudders at the thought :-).

I've added some more student activity stats to User:Colin/Introduction to Psychology, Part I.

I've written an essay at User:Colin/A large scale student assignment – what could possibly go wrong?. Could you review it and let me know if there are mistakes and what your thoughts are. I'd like to present this to a wider audience, including WP:MED. The next assignment begins 28th January. It is my opinion that it should not go ahead as currently designed. Indeed, I think that if such a large scale assignment is to be performed, then a radically different set of tasks should be chosen. Colin°Talk 22:10, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and same to you. Will have a look. I am fine with it running if there is a Wikipedia who will volunteer to review ever edit that is made to make sure it is in compliance with WP:MEDRS.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:14, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note

I saw your comment at Wikipedia_talk:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Index#Help_setting_up_the_WikiProject_medicine.2FTranslation_task_force. and responded there. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:28, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I set things up, and it seems to be working [1]. Please let me know if you run into any problems. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:45, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to trauma section of Tranexamic Acid

Hi,

I was just wondering why my edits to the 'Trauma' section of the 'Tranexamic Acid' page have been removed...?

The CRASH-2 trial provided some really important results which I think are of interest to readers of the page. I also think that it is useful to reference the trial results published in the Lancet.

I'd be grateful for your thoughts, especially any advice on how this section can be expanded in a way that is acceptable to Wikipedia.

Kind regards, CtuLSHTMCtuLSHTM (talk) 17:02, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of dispute messages

The message on Schizophrenia clearly states:"The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved." The dispute is not resolved, and the discussion is still fresh (several contributions within last week). So please do not remove the message until the dispute is resolved. ViezeRick (talk) 17:35, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing that you had not added anything to the talk page until now... And the other discussion involved something different... And your edits do more than just add a NPOV tag... And you are over 4 reverts in 24 hours... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:45, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is no valid reason to remove the pov tag, so it does not matter how often I revert the removal of the tag. The tag is not to be removed while there is an active dispute (wheter that be two or one disputes is irrelevant when it comes to removing the tag) ViezeRick (talk) 18:10, 3 January 2012 (UTC). Why are you opening a discussion about the same topic on my talkpage while there is already one on yours? ViezeRick (talk) 18:10, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for fixing those Gallstone image templates!

And now I can see it was a simple matter of premature ']]'. -Reagle (talk) 19:42, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translation Project

Hey Doc: Seasons Greetings/Happy New Year etc. Nice to hear from you! I am in the middle of a career change now, and planning on (hopefully) moving out west sometime in the next 3-6 months. Therefore, my Wikitime is unfortunately going to be limited (again) for a bit. I will, of course, be very happy to do what I can when I can on the Translation project ... and will do it just for you, James :-)

Thanks for keeping me in mind, try to keep me posted on all the stuff you're doing. You do great and voluminous work on here, Doc, and I have TREMENDOUS respect for your dedication and efforts. See you around.

Your fan and buddy: Cliff (a/k/a "Uploadvirus") (talk) 02:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Cliff. Thanks for the words of encouraging. Good luck with your move.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:26, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Inline citation

I apologize for bothering you with a trivial matter like this. I’m working on rewriting Athletic training and I’m getting an error on a second use of the same reference and I cannot for the life of me figure out what I’m doing wrong. The page is User:ITasteLikePaint/Athletic training and I’ll write in a comment near the reference. Thanks in advance! ITasteLikePaint (talk) 05:56, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't seem to like the quotation marks you where using. I never use quotes in the ref names tags. Cheers --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's silly. Thank you very much! ITasteLikePaint (talk) 06:51, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Dental avulsion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cell structure (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

local allergic rhinitis

thanks! I'm shocked by how unknown local allergic rhinitis is, the allergists I've seen had never heard of it - so I'm trying to publicize it. That missed diagnosis must be affecting millions of people. Puffysphere (talk) 13:22, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Puffysphere[reply]

Ok, I will translate that page. --Sbassi (talk) 18:45, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
