Cochrane Collaboration meeting in Vienna, October 1stHi Doc James, I 've heard you might be able to visit the Cochrane Collaboration meeting in Vienna. Somebody (User:FloNight?) reserved some time for a wikipedian pre-colloquium . We've skyped with FloNight about this recently, and several people would like to attend, but we need some details. Are you, or ia FloNight planning to give a speech, a workshop, or anything else? Do you want us to prepare something? What will be our objective? Please answer on our wikiproject's subpage, English is OK. - Or, if I'm completely wrong, please forward this to whom it may concern. Regards, --MBq (talk) 08:56, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Ehaugsjaa (talk) 23:07, 2 July 2015 (UTC) HypoglycemiaHello Doc James, I suffer from congenital adrenal hyperplasia and one of the main symptoms I have when my cortisol levels are too low is hypoglycemia. During an adrenal crisis one suffers from seriously low blood sugar and also eleoctrolyte imbalances (low sodium/high potassium). In this article you have mentioned very briefly that cortisol should be checked in patients presenting with hypoglycemia but you never state explicitly anywhere that one of the causes of hypoglycemia could be Addison's disease, or other types of adrenal insufficiency - I think this is a serious oversight that should really be corrected. It is such a problem that often, those of us with Adrenal insufficiency who go to the emergency room because we are having a crisis get brushed off, or accused of being on drugs or alcoholics because even medical professionals don't think that it could be low cortisol - even if we are wearing medical jewelry stating that we have adrenal insufficiency. A friend of mine changed hers to read "Give Solu-cortef or watch me die" because she was left vomiting on an ER floor for 3 hours having an adrenal crisis. Please do what you can to help people be aware of this serious condition by including it where relevant in your wikipedia entries! Thank you for your time, Lahoma J.

CopyrightI believe you are in error. I did not add copyrighted material. My article that was published in the American Journal of Public Health is copyrighted, but the reference to the journal article is not copyrighted per se. The correction I made was to the entry for Impacted Wisdom Teeth. The reference No. 8 lists my last name and the title of the article but it does not list the name and issue of the journal, which is standard for such references. There was no copyright violation in my entry. Reference no 8 should read: Friedman JW "The prophylactic extraction of third molars: a public health hazard." Am J Public Health 2007;97(9):1554-1559.

Which specialty: RAS?I recall this concern was raised when this paramater was in discussion.

Gabor RaczYou know, Doc - a BLP isn't a journal entry. It's a biography. Why do you want it to read like a science paper? It's one thing to create dry scientific articles about drugs and such, but this is a BLP. FA criteria clearly states: "its prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard;" That doesn't mean dry and scientific. Your addition of the template with an edit summary that reads, "this article has serious issues" isn't very helpful. Why don't you point out the issues instead of templating a GA article? Your the medical professional or is there a reason you are refraining from editing and trying to improve this BLP? Atsme 17:12, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

PBCYou made some recent edits reverting compromise changes I made to the use of "cholangitis" or "PBC" rather than "cirrhosis". I had previously reverted much more major changes and established a section on the Talk:Primary_biliary_cirrhosis page to discuss this renaming. The patient groups have won almost universal support for this change in name which have been referenced. As I understand it, there will soon be publications in the scientific literature supporting this and will cite these when it has occurred. Thanks for watching these pages and please feel free to contribute to the Talk page! Jrfw51 (talk) 14:15, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages ReviewDear Doc James, I've again reviewed the vitamin D and cancer topic in Misplaced Pages and found that the section still remains somewhat scant. The first reference is to a popular press article about sales of vitamins in general. The remainder seems to trivialize the 35 years or so of active scientific research in this topic area. Rather than citing any original articles, it relies on a single tendentious review. Since students use Misplaced Pages to learn about the progression of scientific investigations as well as the latest findings on a topic, I wondered if we might consider rewriting this section together to reflect both the historical advancements in the understanding of vitamin D and cancer, as well as results of the latest laboratory, observational, and large cohort studies. I would like to suggest that we set-up an editorial board of subject matter experts who would then together revise this section. We would then submit a final draft to you as the Misplaced Pages editor. I have several colleagues listed below that I think would likely be very interested and willing to undertake this project. If you are amendable to this suggestion, please respond to my office email. We can then begin circulating revisions to this section. Many thanks. Very respectfully, Ed Edward Gorham, MPH, PhD Adjunct Professor Department of Family Medicine and Public Health School of Medicine University of California, San Diego (619) 990-3848 Email: edward.d.gorham2.civ@mail.mil Dr UVB (talk) 14:51, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank you, Jytdog and Jrfw51, Site specific cancer studies would, in my view, be an important addition to this section. Many dietary and serum studies have been carried out for both colon (1) and breast cancer (2), and for cancers of other sites. Nested case-control serum studies have certain advantages over dietary studies of vitamin D since it doesn't matter whether the vitamin D is dietary or sun-derived. 25(OH)D is relatively stable and an optimal biomarker for vitamin D status. Results from large cohort studies should not be discounted, such as the prospective EPIC study of serum 25 (OH)D and colon cancer in countries across Europe (1). These are important primary sources, and deserve their own citation. In vitro cell studies of antineoplastic effects of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)D in several tumor lines should at least be mentioned. These potent vitamin D metabolites act as hormones and influence tight junctions between cells, promote apoptosis, and down-regulate oncogenes. Vitamin D is not simply another nutrient when it comes to cancer. The review of supplement sales is overly broad, not particularly relevant to this section, and should be considered for deletion. The role of most nutrients in disease causation has been contentious since they were first identified (3). This should not discourage us from their study or fair reporting of results of these investigations. Very respectfully, Professor Gorham 1) Jenab M, Bueno-de-Mesquita HB, Ferrari P, van Duijnhoven FJ, Norat T, Pischon T, Jansen EH, et al.

Thank you again, Jytdog, for your thoughtful response. Controversy is an inevitable part of scientific progress. EV McCollum himself, who first isolated vitamin D, was widely derided for the idea that it might prevent rickets. The proof of vitamin D in rickets prevention was based on observational and animal studies. Dr. Taylor's commentary represents a certain point of view, but there are many others who would not be so quick to dismiss the importance of vitamin D in public health. I'm attaching a link to another commentary, just for interest. There is incidentally a randomized controlled trial by Lappe et al that meets this highest level of medical evidence which is unfortunately omitted in Dr. Taylor's commentary, but included below. The temporal sequence, consistency across study designs, strength of association, and the dose-response findings each help address the causality issues you question. These factors should be noted in Misplaced Pages. The important thing in my view is to establish a balanced panel of subject matter experts who could improve this section of Misplaced Pages, as I've suggested above. Very respectfully, Professor Gorham Dr UVB (talk) 00:10, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Incidentally, a randomized controlled trail does exist (abstract also provided below) which found exactly the level of evidence you are seeking. In fact, these investigators observed a 60% reduction in incidence of cancers of all sites in the vitamin D and calcium treatment arm of this trial. These and many similar results are overlooked in the review by Taylor, et al. This is a drawback of relying solely on reviews. Elevation of this section of Misplaced Pages to an external panel of experts, such as those suggested above, could, in my opinion, improve this section of Misplaced Pages substantially. By almost any objective measure, it is currently lacking, both scientifically and factually. If you will not approve, may I request that we elevate to a higher echelon in the Misplaced Pages review process. Sincerely yours, Prof. Gorham Lancet. 1989 Nov 18;2(8673):1176-8. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and colon cancer: eight-year prospective study. Garland CF, Comstock GW, Garland FC, Helsing KJ, Shaw EK, Gorham ED. Abstract Blood samples taken in 1974 in Washington County, Maryland, from 25 620 volunteers were used to investigate the relation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) with subsequent risk of getting colon cancer. 34 cases of colon cancer diagnosed between August, 1975, and January, 1983, were matched to 67 controls by age, race, sex, and month blood was taken. Risk of colon cancer was reduced by 75% in the third quintile (27-32 ng/ml) and by 80% in the fourth quintile (33-41 ng/ml) of serum 25-OHD. Risk of getting colon cancer decreased three-fold in people with a serum 25-OHD concentration of 20 ng/ml or more. The results are consistent with a protective effect of serum 25-OHD on colon cancer.
Abstract Numerous observational studies have found supplemental calcium and vitamin D to be associated with reduced risk of common cancers. However, interventional studies to test this effect are lacking. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the efficacy of calcium alone and calcium plus vitamin D in reducing incident cancer risk of all types. This was a 4-y, population-based, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial. The primary outcome was fracture incidence, and the principal secondary outcome was cancer incidence. The subjects were 1179 community-dwelling women randomly selected from the population of healthy postmenopausal women aged >55 y in a 9-county rural area of Nebraska centered at latitude 41.4 degrees N. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive 1400-1500 mg supplemental calcium/d alone (Ca-only), supplemental calcium plus 1100 IU vitamin D3/d (Ca + D), or placebo. When analyzed by intention to treat, cancer incidence was lower in the Ca + D women than in the placebo control subjects (P < 0.03). With the use of logistic regression, the unadjusted relative risks (RR) of incident cancer in the Ca + D and Ca-only groups were 0.402 (P = 0.01) and 0.532 (P = 0.06), respectively. When analysis was confined to cancers diagnosed after the first 12 mo, RR for the Ca + D group fell to 0.232 (CI: 0.09, 0.60; P < 0.005) but did not change significantly for the Ca-only group. In multiple logistic regression models, both treatment and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were significant, independent predictors of cancer risk. Improving calcium and vitamin D nutritional status substantially reduces all-cancer risk in postmenopausal women. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00352170. Dr UVB (talk) 20:58, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Cochrane excludes all observational epidemiologic studies including prospective cohort studies, nested case-control studies, and of course, case-control studies, and ecological studies. I don't want to turn this into a discussion of Cochrane, but public health advances linking cigarettes to lung cancer, lack of sunlight and vitamin D to rickets, passive smoking to heart disease, and numerous other medical advances would never have occurred if held to Cochrane criteria. John Snow, to his undying credit, did not randomly allocate people to drink or not drink cholera-tainted water from London's Broad Street pump. We have an opportunity to improve this section of Misplaced Pages substantially by admitting much published, peer-reviewed evidence approved medical journal editors and excluded by Cochrane. Koch's postulates of causality don't depend on Cochrane. If Cochrane is the current Wiki standard, the result will be to arbitrarily exclude all the lines of epidemiologic evidence described above. I would respectfully request an appeal of that decision, and a repeal of that standard. To whom should I address this request? V/r, Prof. Gorham Dr UVB (talk) 22:20, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
By the way here are the IOP's conclusions "For extraskeletal outcomes, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders, the evidence was inconsistent, inconclusive as to causality, and insufficient to inform nutritional requirements." Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:37, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Excellent! So observational epidemiologic studies including prospective cohort studies, nested case-control studies, and of course, case-control studies, and ecological studies are admissible. Our panel will review and submit these for inclusion. Thank you, Dr. James. We'll get started on this right away. I'm not sure I completely follow your statements regarding toxicity. It is rarely an issue in vitamin D until serum levels of 25(OH)D exceed at least 100 ng/ml. This would be the approximate equivalent of a daily oral intake of 10,000 IU per day for several weeks. 50,000 IU per week is the prescribed replenishment dose for treating deficiency, or approximately 7,000 IU per day. I hope this is helpful. V/r, Prof. Gorham Dr UVB (talk) 22:52, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Okay, so I am not talking about vitamin D for treatment, although there is evidence that vitamin D is an effective adjuvant in cancer treatment. Vitamin D is a nutrient with important hormonal metabolites that have critical endocrine and autocrine functions. There is much epidemiological evidence suggesting that vitamin D (as a nutrient, not a treatment) is important in chronic disease prevention. Are you restricting this page to prevention trials? If so, this page in Misplaced Pages will not represent the current level of understanding of the role of vitamin D in cancer prevention. It will remain lacking both scientifically and factually. Is that your decision? If so, how may I appeal it? V/r, Prof Gorham Dr UVB (talk) 23:17, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Well, Doc - I hope the following will ease your mind regarding what you thought was a copyvio:
And also
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to issue warnings of blocks without specifying what I did wrong is inappropriate, and carries the strong scent of retaliation. I'm not a bad editor and I actually am competent not to mention thorough. I'm not perfect but I strive to be. Let's say for example 3 editors here on WP told you that the surgery article you created, co-authored and had promoted to GA was incorrect, full of inaccuracies, that it was garbage, should be deleted, and was a violation of your Hippocratic Oath when all that actually needed improvement were a few upgrades to RS, a correction in wording of a treatment, and the rest being POV regarding style of writing - how would you respond? (just trying to provide a scenario to which you can best relate because a copyvio to me is like a Hippocratic Oath to you, of course on a much lesser scale). You know what you know - you're not just experienced at it, you're skilled at it - so please, let's try to exercise a little professional courtesy here. I addressed all of your concerns at Racz.

CBT PageDoc, I understand the majority of your edits on my section today, but I don't understand why you took out the quote and the absolutely vital information about the Beck treatment manual. I worked really hard on that article and getting the section added last night. I worked hard to narrow it down to just the most pertinent information. I really feel that quote is necessary so as that readers know that the interpretations of the study are the authors' and not those of the wikipedia user putting the information up. I understand you're a moderator, and that I have to show good faith. But, I can't understand what the point of contributing is when you are going to habitually follow up after me and "tidy up" everything single thing I do. I work very hard to make my posts count. I am not a casual "adder" to wikipedia. If you have a problem with what I am posting, then please let me know and I will stop contributing because I don't want to be putting in the kind of time that I do just to have it consistently edited and/or undone by you. Please, restore the quote and the comment about the manual. I completely agreed with your other edits, though. Urstadt (talk) 18:48, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Health videos - Konkani Misplaced PagesHello Doc James, I noticed the note regarding videos you posted at Vaishali Parab's talkpage on the Konkani Misplaced Pages. The video you posted is not in Konkani; I think it's probably the Kukna language. Regards, The Discoverer (talk) 15:44, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Cranial Electrotherapy StimulationHello, I'm ColumbiaLion212. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Cranial electrotherapy stimulation with this edit on July 22nd, 2015, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Your contributions to Misplaced Pages are obviously welcome, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Misplaced Pages, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject. All editors are required to comply with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible. If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Misplaced Pages's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. For information on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Would you please let me know if you or an entity that compensates you have any relationship with companies that sell behavioral, neurological or sleep related products or services, or organizations (ie, Public Citizen) that have a documented interest in Cranial electrotherapy stimulation? I've noticed coordinated activity on both the Cranial electrotherapy stimulation pages and Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) dating back to 2013 that are inconsistent with Misplaced Pages's policies on neutrality. It seems as if the standards of reliability for medical sources have been altered, at least partially, for the purpose of undermining the integrity of the CES page over the past two years. What is particularly concerning is that there seems to be a coordinated effort on the part of you, Alexbrn, Jytdog, and SandyGeorgia, among others, in facilitating this. Please reply at your earliest convenience. I will be monitoring this page closely. ColumbiaLion212 (talk) 17:06, 24 July 2015 (UTC) |
