Semi-protected edit request on 6 February 2018

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please change "The disease may be classified by where it was acquired with community, hospital, or health care associated pneumonia." to "The disease may be classified by where it was acquired with community or hospital acquired pneumonia."

Health-care associated pneumonia is no longer a classification. You will have to do some research yourself however, I was taught this at med school. 146.232.65.206 (talk) 20:14, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Nihlus 21:33, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the suggestions 146.232.65.206 I have posted your suggestion on the talk page for WikiProject Medicine so our medical editors can see if they can help find a source to substantiate this. We greatly appreciate your efforts to improve the evidence base and accuracy of the medical articles. JenOttawa (talk) 01:38, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Lead image

More classic
Better quality

IMO the more classic version is superior in the lead. The better quality but less classic can than go in the body. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:43, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

I am not hugely impressed with the "classic" version. Only a very small proportion of pneumonias presents with such florid changes and it is not representative. Furthermore, I am not so sure whether it cannot also interpreted as showing collapse (some volume loss, unconvincing air bronchograms). Can we dump it please? JFW | T@lk 12:55, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Agreed - the "More Classic" image is not representative. — soupvector (talk) 13:50, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
User:Jfdwolff and User:soupvector do you think we go with the second one or do you have another image in mind? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:41, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
The second one depicted at right seems typical to me. — soupvector (talk) 13:49, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Edit Request - Cost

Mohamad Christi created a cost-effective invention to help children with pneumonia in low-income countries. It works similarly to a bubble-cPAP, however, it is made out of a simple shampoo bottle filled with water and some tubing attached. This simple invention cut the price of treatment by approximately 90% which helped parents in low-income countries who could not afford bubble-cPAP treatment for their children with pneumonia.

Would need a recommendation by say WHO. Also do we have a good ref to support bubble CPAP in pneumonia?
Seems like the trials are ongoing https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28883928 Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:28, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
This review says "More research is needed on the implementation, cost and effectiveness of CPAP in the management of pneumonia and in neonatal care in developing countries" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24165032 Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:33, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
