Edits from Lena

The article is great! There aren't a lot edits that need to be made, here are a few minor ones:

From section on Human Subjects •The right to end participation in research *at any time* ( I just know this because I had to do a bunch of IRB stuff)

•Benefits should outweigh cost: fair distribution of cost to benefit ratio (is this last part after the colon really necessary? It's a little redundant)

• Protection of privacy and well-being [20] (there is a space between the bullet and the text - I kind of like it better this way, but either way it should be consistent)

Under Human Subjects Abuses section

A famous example of such research were the Edward Jenner experiments, where he tested smallpox vaccines on his son and neighbourhood children. In an instance of self-experimentation, European physician Johann Jorg swallowed 17 drugs in various doses to record their properties.[21] (Could these two sentences be separated? Since they have little to do with one another)

Reed's vaccine experiments were carefully scrutinized, however, unlike earlier trials.[22] I don't think you need the word "however", it would be more concise if it read: Reed's vaccine experiments were carefully scrutinized unlike earlier trials.[22]

Under WWII section: the "Britain", "Japan", "Germany" subtitles are too small, hard to read.

Great job overall! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenasilva (talk • contribs) 21:06, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Response to Edit

Thanks for your suggestions Lena! I will make the necessary grammatical changes. Also, thanks for pointing out the disconnect between the Jenner experiments and the Jorg experiments. I intend to give further background information on these two cases. If I can't find sufficient supporting information I will delete them altogether. I will also provide more background on the other cases that I referenced for the 21st century. I don't think that I can enlarge the font for the subsections under WWII because they are subsections under subsections. I really appreciate your suggestions.

New medical organization

Hi

I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.

Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.

Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 21:14, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

• Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
• Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
• If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
