Thanks again :-) -- Doc James along with the rest of the team at Wiki Project Med Foundation 18:07, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- You're actually at the top of the list, not to mention the contributions from your staff and students we also owe to you. Amazing! Many thanks for making Wikipedia a more accurate and useful resource in this area! -- Beland (talk) 18:14, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks User:Beland this is a really amazing community :-) One I am exceedingly proud to say I am apart off. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:26, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Congratulations for the cure award. I know how it feels to get it. Great😀 Also good luck in the election. Best regards Adville (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Doc James, many thanks for your amazing work. I had to make some correction at the WP-statistics (Wiki Project Med Foundation), because some of our contributors were not listed at the right country - and did not get the Award in German WP. It will be nice, if you would send them the Award too. Thanks --Partynia (talk) 15:18, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks User:Partynia. The 2016 awards are based on these stats[2] and went to everyone who made more than 250 edits.
- Are you requesting that the 20165 award be sent to the correct wiki? Or were there 2016 awards that went to the wrong wiki? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:22, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- f. e. Drahreg01, Cvf-ps didn´t get any.f.e. Zieger M the award went to the wrong wiki. BTW, on which data the stats are based? --Partynia (talk) 05:33, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Ladsgroup did the data
- I have asked him to look into it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:39, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. Please look also at Uwe Gille. He is missing in 2016 stats, but is one of the most active users (medicine) in de. --Partynia (talk) 05:50, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe there is something wrong with the stats. Please compare the number of contributors (and their number of edits) in 2016 with 2015, 2014 and 2013 here. --Partynia (talk) 06:04, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I will check this soon. Ladsgroupoverleg 13:22, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I have requested that Ladsgroup look at the numbers again. Prior years were calculated by User:West.andrew.g. Agree with you that the numbers this year appear off. It is a complicated calculation. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:33, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the raw data and they were okay and then I checked the analysis script and realized it skips any user that doesn't have one edit in English Wikipedia medical articles (it counts all wikis when the person has even one edit in enwiki medical articles). I fixed that part and re-uploading again. That was entirely my fault and I'm sorry about that. Ladsgroupoverleg 09:33, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Updated in User:Ladsgroup/Top medical contributors (500, detailed). Sorry again. Ladsgroupoverleg 09:41, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks user:Ladsgroup. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:10, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Ladsgroup and Doc James.--Partynia (talk) 06:57, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This should be translated, only my opinion. People are still dying in those regions speaking those languages you want translated. I am progressing nicely with my translations. Best Regards,

+- 1 in 10 people using inhaled corticosteroids will develop trush ! So I find it weird you removed that part from the asthma page.
Or are side effects defined (here) as only severe things?
It is true that maybe this side effect does not belong with the long term use, but it should be mentioned somewhere.
Trush/inections in the mouth (+ perhaps even general problems with breathing as a side effect of the drugs, not the asthma itself, because people need to find their correct medication) is something that a lot of patients get!
In my opinion the part about the drugs/treatment is rather weak in terms of side effects and the search to find the correct drugs. Many patients end up on this page and it does not mention anything of this.
It does not mention that a direct (fast) side effect is: difficulty breathing due to a bad reaction to the type of inhaler (happens also in 1/10 patients) and the side effect of throat problems (like trush), the problem of increased hearth rate. Those 3 are very common problems ! GPs will see those all the time.
It is thus weird they are not mentioned. There is also almost nothing written about the search for a good delivery device for powder inhalers (many people have problems breathing in correctly if using brand A compared to brand B)
Garnhami (talk) 06:02, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Small update on what I feel is needed to be added:
- trush due to inhaled steroids as a side effect
- development of infections in the throat and or lungs due to the use of inhaled steroids (often causing the idea that breathing is worse, but that it (the breathing getting worse) is actually because of this infection and not the asthma itself)
- more difficult to breath when taking a new type (often MDs or specialists prescribe a certain drug, patient goes home, tries it and feels (sudden or after a few days) that he has more trouble breathing. A big part of the asthma patients has this problem! They change or get a new type of inhaler/drug and they get this type of symptoms.
- increate in hearth rate after using them (major side effect)
=> most commons problems GPs see with asthma patients are trush + bad reaction to the drug
=> check online forums for asthma patients and half of the topics is about the above 2 mentioned problems.
I agree that both are not severe, often happen rather fast (so no long term effect) but they are very important for many patients.
Garnhami (talk) 09:43, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Another big part that is missing, in my opinion, on this asthma page is the consequences of having it. It is somewhat mentioned in specific subchapters, but I would like to make some additions like:
I read nothing about diving, changing jobs (yes, there is a link to occupational asthma, but why not mention it shortly here that often people need to change jobs), , nothing about the need for a regular check up, need to take medications consistently ...
Garnhami (talk) 09:43, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- So I added "Risks include thrush, the development of cataracts, and a slightly slowed rate of growth."
- So how do you get to me removing it User:Garnhami?
- What I did do was replace a primary source with a secondary source.
- Please read WP:MEDRS that runs through what kind of sources need to be used. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:42, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Doc James:see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asthma&type=revision&diff=779251978&oldid=779233152 haha
- I saw that edit and there you removed the trush part. 1 minute later you changed it again, but for some reason I did not see that one. So I was referring to the one where trush was left out.
Garnhami (talk) 16:20, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- No worries. Was adjusting over a couple of edits. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:22, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I somehow stumbled upon your revision of the ciprofloxacin in the cellulitis topic, you removed it from the treatment list (as an alternative when allergic to penicillin because no reference was given.
I gave a reference and changed it again.
Feel free to check it and if needed alter it.
I know it is usually given for class IV cellulitis.
cheers,
Garnhami (talk) 12:54, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Have moved ciprofloxacin here.
- Here is the ref http://www.pharmaceutical-journal.com/files/rps-pjonline/pdf/PJ240813_193-196.pdf. ;
- Were does that ref say "In those who are seriously allergic to penicillin" it can be used?
- It is used for infections "caused by Gram-negative". Most skin infections are caused by gram positive.
- Yes it can be used but not by itself and not for typical causes of cellulitis. This belongs in the body. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:49, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- so if I get you , the ones mentioned on the cellulitis page are only those that can be used alone ? For your remark about the reference: http://www.acutemed.co.uk/docs/Cellulitis%20guidelines,%20CREST,%2005.pdf (maybe this is a better one, I might have used the wrong link, they do state to use it when allergic to penicillin. However I do agree, it is more for intravenous use and in combination)
ALso , another source: http://www.asp.mednet.ucla.edu/files/view/guidebook/SkinandSoftTissueInfections.pdf
They do use it, but as you said in combination and for gram negatives specifically.
Garnhami (talk) 16:50, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Garnhami This guideline says "use for class IV" together with clindamycin if pen allergic.[3]
- Class for is "sepsis syndrome or necrotizing fasciitis"
- It is not simple cellulitis. Thus should not go in the lead of the cellulitis article. It can go in the nec fash article. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:56, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Doc James aha, I see. Ok I am starting to get the set up of the articles. ThanksGarnhami (talk) 17:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering if you think the effects of aging section, on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageing is unneeded. the page already covers effects of ageing in other sections of the page, and dose it better, the section is just a list. Seems redundant to me for that section to exist.
- I provides an overview Ageing#Effects_of_ageing does. The other section more provides the underlying mechanism. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:03, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I get that but I am wondering if that overview is even needed. to me it is not the rest of the article provides more detailed information of what ageing is and about, the effects of ageing section dose not and like I said is basically just a list which makes me think it is not really needed to me
- I think it is useful personally. Have you asked for further input on the talk page. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:24, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
no I have not I wanted to get replies as soon as possible and I notice on a lot of talk pages questions can go unanswered for years which is why I am asking people who edit the page directly like you. to me the overview is not really useful the rest of the article goes into detail of what ageing is about and it's effects as well having a overview which is just a list of different things, some of which are talked about in more detail seems redundant and unneeded to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lankeyman (talk • contribs) 22:30, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- We tend to organize article per WP:MEDMOS. We have a section that presents the symptoms and we separate that from the one that discusses discusses that mechanisms that may bring about those symptoms. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:34, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- (talk page stalker) @Lankeyman: Why the removal of information and/or sources to Hypogonadism and Late-onset hypogonadism (no wp:ES)? You removed/changed the wording to hypogonadism to state that testosterone levels do not decrease with age which is contrary to sources. You also removed sources and changed the wording to Late-onset hypogonadism which also disassociated the link between aging and testosterone. Jim1138 (talk) 22:49, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is there an explanation of your removal of content and references here and your edit summary of 'hum' and 'moving'? A move didn't occur unless you meant re-move. Even a bot came after you to restore references.

- This [4] does not belong on that page. It belongs on the phytobezoars page if supported by proper sources. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:25, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We have got to get some consensus going here. Please take your concerns to the talk page of....I can't remember the name now since you changed it! Seriously, this is getting funny.Regards,Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 22:07, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
