Permissive hypertensionHey James, I just finished a morning report about permissive hypertension in management of ischemic stroke patients and wanted your input. I'm not sure it warrants an entire article, but we do have permissive hypercapnia and permissive hypotension. Thanks much! :) Keilana (talk) 13:01, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
Lyme - What text of the ref supports?What text of the ref supports? " However, retreatment may actually not be offered, because the guidelines do not define how to assess failure of the initial treatment.[1]" Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:43, 15 April 2019 (UTC) The document uses the expression "treatment failure" in Table 2 but never defines it anywhere (even in later papers, author JJ Halperin uses "treatment failure" in the same loose sense, without ever defining it.) On the other hand, the document clearly defines "post-Lyme syndrome" as "occurs in patients who have had Lyme disease, but, after treatment that would normally be expected to be effective, have continued to have residual chronic symptoms," and goes into a lengthy argument condemning antibiotic treatment for it and concluding "published antibiotic treatment trials of PLS provide compelling Class I evidence that PLS is not due to active Borrelia infection and is not responsive to further antibiotic therapy." So, when a North American patient with neuroborreliosis returns to the doctor with neurologic complaints after a full course of doxycycline, is that a case of treatment failure or post-lyme syndrome? The guidelines offer no guidance on this question. When I first read the guidelines, I found it obvious that in such a case a second, parenteral course of antibiotics would be given to the patient in an attempt to get him or her well. However, to my surprise, almost every doctor I know interprets the guidelines the other way and withholds further antibiotic treatment. I think this sentence should be reinstated in the article because it might be read by people trying to decide between treatment options for neuroborreliosis: They should know that, no matter what they think the guidelines mean, the first course of antibiotics is very likely to be the only one (from a mainstream doctor).
Also what text of the ref supports "Healing of facial palsy is not a sure sign of antibiotic treatment success.[2]"? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:44, 15 April 2019 (UTC) The text I see is "Although antibiotic treatment may not hasten the resolution of seventh cranial nerve palsy associated with B. burgdorferi infection, antibiotics should be given to prevent further sequelae (A-II)." Which does not support. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:46, 15 April 2019 (UTC) In "Background and Diagnosis of Early Neurologic Lyme Disease," just before "Recommendations:" "all patients with cranial nerve palsy in association with Lyme disease should receive antibiotic therapy, not primarily for the purpose of expediting recovery from the paralysis, which will usually resolve within a few weeks regardless of whether antimicrobial therapy is given, but rather to prevent later complications" The purpose of antibiotic treatment is to prevent later complications, not to resolve facial palsy. It should be considered successful when it prevents those later complications, not when the palsy resolves, which would be nearly as likely to happen regardless of treatment.

While it is certainly used frequently for cerebral aneurysms, the phrase "endovascular coiling" refers to a technique that is used various places in the body (splenic bleeding after trauma, type 2 endoleaks following EVAR), not just for cerebral stuff. The page should reflect this somehow. BakerStMD 13:01, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Doc James, I created this article on Swarup Sarkar after quiet a bit of research. May you kindly guide me- as to What changes can I do to remove the Advert template message that you have added? Usually there is a Personal Life column in the Living Person category articles. Hence I created that too. Can you kindly let me know the reason for deleting that column entirely?

Doc James, You expressed an opinion, but didn't vote. Votes need to be in bold for them to be counted by some of the software. The link you shared isn't working.

Currently, I am improving on both leptospirosis and meliodosis articles so that both articles can go through peer review and undergo publication in indexed journals. Just some questions I would like to ask you: I don't think I can bring both articles to publications by myself. Would appreciate your help or other peoples' help in providing opinions and improving this article. Thank you. Regards. Cerevisae (talk) 20:57, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
Rewording "mutation"Hi James, my understanding would be that reference to South Africa should be limited to the name of the diseases/ condition, and not be juxtaposed to the SA case as it is here. Am I right? Also, the text makes it sound as if these are mutations of an original variegate porphyria, whereas the mutations involved are further upstream, such as in/at the PPOX gene/ the HFE gene (I am making up that term here, as I don't know what the equivalent term is in medicine. Thanks for any help/ time you might offer. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 16:57, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
