Good Article Nom review underway for Egg allergyThis an FYI/invite because you've edited the article in the past. The reviewer started off with a copyright violation concern, but I was able to make a convincing argument that it was in reverse - the website content he found had been copied from Wikipedia. I expect to be able to address the reviewer's issues/comments in a timely fashion, but wanted to give you an opportunity to add your own thoughts. David notMD (talk) 11:35, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
Opioids, naloxone, and naltrexoneOpioids like heroin and morphine are competitive agonists. Naloxone and naltrexone are reversible competitive antagonists.
The clinical significance of this is that opioids like heroin and morphine can overcome the effects of naloxone and naltrexone when these opioids are taken at sufficiently high doses, regardless of what dose of naloxone or naltrexone is administered beforehand. In contrast, it would not be possible to OD on opioids if an insurmountable opioid receptor antagonist were administered beforehand (NB: opioids with non-opioid receptor targets would still be able to affect the body/brain through their secondary targets in this case, but they wouldn't cause lethal respiratory depression via excessive mu-opioid receptor activation because a high dose of an insurmountable antagonist would always block this drug effect).

Hey! I wanted to ask you a question before I started working on the List of medical schools in Asia. Although its technically not "medicine-related", I wasn't sure who to ask so I came here (hope you don't mind me doing so). A lot of the entries in the list are red-linked and in my opinion, non-notable. Is it best to just remove those entries altogether, or should I delink them but still keep their names in? Or perhaps there's a guideline regarding notability of universities that I'm supposed to follow? I worked on a different list here yesterday, so if you have any other suggestions, they'd be much appreciated. Cheers! Jiten talk contribs 08:48, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Nitrous oxide / open access journal and stuffSomething I saw off-wiki made me think that there's some advertising going on around use of nitrous oxide in ambulances. I wonder if some recent SPA edits here are related? Could you take a look? ☆ Bri (talk) 18:17, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
I wish someone would look at these videos I recorded. To me it's real. I feel bugs crawling under my skin. My skin didn't heal and the sores had weird scabs. I recorded these bugs when they seemed active. I tried to show doctors and they called me crazy. I got rid of these bugs with herbs and body cleanses. My skin is healed and I don't feel them crawling anymore. Everyone even my family didn't believe me. That was why I recorded these thing which if it's not real please explaine why I have video of these things. Maybe the video isn't real but I would like for someone to watch and tell me that it's not on the video when I see it. I have no mental illness in my family and I'm not crazy. Just give me a chance to show what I'm seeing or not seeing but at least let me show these videos. In person too so I can point out what I see and then you all can tell me it's not there .. that's all. Birkholzbob (talk) 17:14, 11 November 2017 (UTC) Don't classify this as made up.. because it just may not be made up I might have proof that it's real. Keep an open mind. Please Birkholzbob (talk) 17:16, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
trimmed per sockingJust curious, but what does it mean: "trimmed per socking" ? I noticed you removed some synthesis information on a few pages, but why should it be removed? Garnhami (talk) 12:53, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Requesting Revdel on my user pageHello there, Recently a user vandalized page I was on. I rolled back his edit and now he is vandalizing my user talk page. An example of an edit he made is here. Could you please revdel all the edit summaries and revisions if possible as they contain swear words in a way that bypass the filter (if any)? I would also be fine with it if you remived just the inappropriate summaries at your discretion. The vandalism has been constant so the page has been protected for a while. Thanks for your help. --Sau226 (talk) 13:09, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

The lede left the incorrect impression that GTN might explode. I added content explaining that it could not explode, and why. I will watch this spot to learn why you reverted my edit. Comfr (talk) 18:15, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello Doc James I am not familiar with Wikipedia's way of communicating. I was wondering if I could discuss with you an issue regarding a removed page in italian language on Dr Franceschi. The page is in waiting state in my sandbox. Thank you.Geiss (talk) 23:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC) HeadingThank you for being so concerned as to remove my peer-reviewed articles, but simultaneously blindly accepting biased articles written by men in psychological denial published in exactly the same peer-reviewed journals! — Preceding unsigned comment added by UnethicalSurgery (talk • contribs) 02:31, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
RepostReference style in Miscarriage I am sorry that we didn't get to finish up this discussion before it was archived. I apologize if this is the 'wrong' thing to do on a talk page. Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 10:04, 13 November 2017 (UTC) There is no way to use a medical textbook and reference each page that contains information as a separate entry. I have used this referencing style in dozens of articles where a bibliography is used. References to this source will be used extensively in this article and if we use the referencing style you recommend, the reference section will quickly become populated with the same textbook (with different page numbers) to end up being confusing and unnecessarily long. A book needs to be cited once and then page numbers indicate exactly where in the book the information has been found. There is no guideline that states that a certain type of referencing system is required. In this article, and others that I have written, this type of referencing has been acceptable to copy editors, bots, other medical editors. The reference you identified as being adequate is from a 2005 paramedic textbook. The reference you removed was from a Post-graduate, medical gynecological textbook published in 2014.
Thank youThank you for contributing comments that helped guide Egg allergy to Good Article status. I intend to move on to Milk allergy. About the genetically modified content I added to Food allergy, I also added it into Soy allergy (with minor changes), but do not intend to paste it into the other common food allergies. I did soy because that is already identified as a commonly occurring allergy trigger and is the only plant in those lists (US, EU, Japan) which is also approved for genetic modification.

From the primary source: "A phenotype-driven approach to molecular autopsy based in a multidisciplinary team comprising clinical and laboratory genetics, forensic medicine and cardiology is described. Over a 13 year period, molecular autopsy was undertaken in 96 sudden cardiac death cases. A total of 46 cases aged 1–40 years had normal hearts and suspected arrhythmic death."
A cup of coffee for you!

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:02, 15 November 2017 (UTC) HeadingThank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:32, 14 November 2017 (UTC) Hello, note that any other items (besides the Vasovagal/Reflex syncope item that you created) on this IP@ talk page are not of my doing. I do not vandalize pages, just fyi. You didn't accuse me of this, I know, but had to state that. I will review the guidelines on references/citations. I did use the citation tool, however. So one of the 'food poisoning' references was sourced from the same 'high-quality' source as another reference (for the TMS cause) in the wiki article. This source refers to NTS, where salmonella caused severe hemorrhagic cystitis, leading a patient (with other complications, in this case) to 'syncope'. [7] The other 'food poisoning' source cited salmonella ingestion correlated with an extreme drop in blood pressure. Although, it does not correlate this further with a vasovagal interruption episode, although that is mentioned later in the reference (as a drop in blood pressure is an underlying symptom). ["Low blood pressure and dizziness (MPKB)". Marshall Protocol Knowledge Base. Autoimmunity Research Foundation. Retrieved 13 November 2017.] References on the correlation to salmonella are not easily found, and I am not a graduate student who may have more time to find them. The cause listed as 'Environmental triggers: light (television or strobe, as well), atmospheric or other such similarities to past syncope episodes' is something I have not seen referenced before. However, psychological and physiological triggers are known to contribute to causation and/or enhance symptoms, and I am very certain they played a role in my own experiences. Personally, I have had FIVE episodes. Each time leading to a greater understanding of the reasons, indications and circumstances of my own syncope. Not all triggers/causes are relevant to everyone who has experienced this, as we know. Each episode, I can recall the details quite well (and my detection of onset improved each time, as experience goes). In EVERY one of my syncope episodes the common denominator has been the ingestion of chicken tainted with salmonella and time period of 8-9 hours. This created the physiological conditions that provide the window of opportunity where the resulting syncope can occur (combined with environmental factors, perhaps genetics and/or my own development). Two episodes were in an environment very similar to the first episode, the other three had just some environmental similarities. I feel it is very important to note this in the article, especially for those who may be able to further research and/or try to understand their own syncope's. I would not list anything that wasn't relevant or try to sway loose causation for personal/egotistical reasons. I would appreciate your help with my contribution to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.101.1.122 (talk) 19:53, 15 November 2017 (UTC) "Well known long term paid editor"James: this. This has shown me just how poorly you understand or are familiar with my own edit history, my contributions to Wikipedia, or the motivations behind what I do and don't do here. My respect for you continues to go down. Even if you believed the statement you made there about me to be true, characterizing me in terms of it was unnecessary and was done in order to help you phrase a Village Pump proposal in the most inflammatory of terms/ to get the most possible support for a pet project you felt was important to get passed. You know so very little about me, and what little you do know you have chosen to paint black. If I am the only person you can use on a crucifix for this, then maybe the crucifix isn't all that great an idea. I am becoming exhausted by your mistreatment, mischaracterization, and your refusal to apologize for recent errors you have made with regard to me and my work (errors pointed out to you by others). Prior to August of this year, you and I had been able to interact under civil, even positive terms. But what you are doing to me now is puerile. I won't ask you to stop it again. I am appalled that someone in your role and with your experience would even do it once. Thanks KDS4444 (talk) 23:57, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Couldn't resist....
Jim: Hey Dr. Ellis, this is Jim from the Vascular lab. Have an outpatient here with an external iliac occlusion with cold foot pin and numbness that started 3 days ago. What should I do with her? Crissy: Hi, this is Crissy. I think you have the wrong number, but I looked it up on Wikipedia and I’m pretty sure u need to put a stent in her left radial artery. Best of luck, Jim! Jim: Oh, sorry Crissy! Wrong number. She actually ended up getting a stent. Took an hour longer for med pros to figure out what took you 3 minutes. Crissy: Alright, well...are you hiring?
