message: I am not an expert on mental health, so I did not want to add something I was not sure was correct, but would it be appropriate to add catatonia as a "related" article? --Jprg1966 (talk) 15:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Catatonia?

message: Searching for this term in journal articles and in the sources seem to imply that it's only a slowing of individual physical movements (as opposed to decreased ability to carry out daily activities, though that would certainly be related). The examples given in the body of the article seem to be something else entirely. Can we get a source for each example? 72.174.158.241 (talk) 00:23, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, the examples given in the examples section of the article are not representative of psychomotor retardation. I was a mental health nurse and I experience psychomotor retardation due to depression, and it's about the slowness of movement, not daily activities. There can absolutely be functional impairment secondary to that, but reduced ability to carry out activities of daily living is not what characterizes psychomotor retardation. I can try to work on some new examples based on solid sources, but regardless, I think the examples that are currently listed should be removed. CrimsonBlueberry (talk) 00:32, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Resuscitator

message: While I generally refrain from referencing blogs, I believe that the blog page listed in External links -- "1907: The first mechanical ventilator: The Pulmotor," John Bottrell (registered respiratory therapist), April 19, 2017, Asthma History blog, retrieved April 12, 2020 -- is a reasonably valid and valuable reference because:
:* The blog's author is (at least by his own identification, which appears credible and not extraordinary) a "registered respiratory therapist" -- professional qualification appropriate to the topic.
:* The "Pulmotor" is an item from long ago, for which there is relatively little photographic or early-source reference online. 
:* The article contains detailed photography of actual manufacturers' and distributors' public representations of the Pulmotor.
:* The blog provides a collection of technical and historical detail beyond what is commonly available online, in any one place, but is generally consistent with the limited bits of info scattered across various other, more traditional, sources.
:* The product under discussion is out-of-production, and out-of-use, long, long ago -- and thus there is no plausible conflict-of-interest that any current author is likely to have regarding this topic (with the exception of the corporation that invented the Pulmotor, Drager, whose detailed online booklet is listed in "External links").

Talk:Chills

message: Hi,
The term 'Rigour' as in to be rigorous with methodology and the medical term 'Rigor' need to be disambiguated.
Typing 'Rigor', the correct spelling of the medical terminology defined in this article, directs the search the page for 'Rigour/Rigor' as in rigorous with methodology. Therefore I suggest a page to disambiguate the two terms.
I cannot find any info on creating a disambiguation page so I have left this message for a more experienced user to implement the change.

Where there was inflammation, distension of the caecum and appendix caused pain.

Talk:Sharps container

message: Re-using of needles is not a common practice in underdeveloped countries the same way it's not common practice in the so-called developed countries.
Disposal of needles are enforced everywhere today but, if someone don't do it, it's not a matter of WHERE the wrongdoer resides, but more an exception in the general rule. Developed countries are not free from doing it, reusing needles. If someone claim that re-using of needles is a common practice among underdeveloped countries, without a clear and certain proof of it or source, I think we've a clear cut case of prejudice against peoples and nations here.
:Your rules don't apply in Jagd.  If a nation hasn't received medical technology--including training to use other technology, such as modern handling standards for needles--then it will practice as it sees fit.  Needles were invented and used before blood-borne disease was understood; between being expensive and thus non-disposable and being sterilized by alcohol or other agents, the practice of reusing needles was accepted for reasons of inadequately-evolved medical technology extending as far as simply undeveloped methods for controlling disease.  Our technology has evolved to include these handling methods; underdeveloped countries are underdeveloped because they lack access to technology, such as medical technology, including an understanding and practice of handling methods for biological hazards.
:In many developing countries, both apply.  Some syringes cost 3 cents per; auto-disable syringes cost twice as much, and used to cost even more.  Doctors in poorer countries have routinely switched the needle tip and *reused the syringe*, which is dangerous and disease-spreading.  In some cases, this is done when syringes are sufficiently affordable, because the common practice *has been* to change the needle tip, and the doctors believe that is sufficient.  Until both problems are fixed, the problem persists. Both problems are economic. --John Moser (talk) 18:17, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

message: The article currently states that the test has a positive predictive value of 13.7 and a negative predictive value of 0.1. The calculation for positive predictive value is given as the ratio of true positives to true positives plus false positives, meaning that the value lies between 0 and 1. Thus, a predictive value of 13.7 makes no sense. If the statement is taken to mean 13.7%, then the follow up that the Simmonds' test is an accurate indicator of an achilles rupture would be wrong. I do not have access to the literature source used to make this claim, however the sources that I can find give substantially different values of 0.93 and 1 for positive and negative specificity respectively. If anyone can provide some clarification on this point, it would be greatly appreciated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1203:C659:3501:F5AF:F98F:5664 (talk) 03:54, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
