Talk:Pectus excavatum

message: Found another way to fix the problem, but  it's only practiced at a University Hospital hospital in Minnesota.  Then again it has been done over 1,500 times by the doctor who created it and there are now two others at the hospital who do it.  Sounds interesting I just can't scrape that much together about it.  Any help would be appreciated! §hep  •  ¡Talk to me! 02:28, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I have this deformity and according to my doctor there is not always breathing problems in mild cases (e.g. mine). I would like to include this in the article, but I do not have any sources, some help finding some would be nice! Thanks.

replies: text: I don't see anything to suggest in the article that breathing problems are always present, but lung capacity is almost always affected. To my knowledge there are no sources that talk about problems that don't exist with the deformity as they would be too many to list and therefore texts only focus on problems that do occur. 174.102.83.126 (talk) (§hep logged out) 02:13, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

message: A mention of the Leonard procedure per above, incorporate some information from PMID: 20207934, and make a note that the 3MP currently appears to be in a Phase II Clinical Trial sponsored by the FDA per clinicaltrials.gov, but it should be over by now. The most recent results I've found on the trial were from January 2010 at doi:10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2009.10.032 §hepTalk 00:59, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Suggest moving Magnet Mover Procedure 

message: My wonderful grandson age 18 has this condition and he was struck in the right side rib cage last night. He said that the pain will persist for days. He was in extreme discomfort. What can be done for that and is there a way to develop bulk around the area to protect it? Can a blow like that be fatal? Can it be a medical emergency? Or is it just ASSOCIATED WITH MORE EXTREME PAIN THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON? I hate the caps lock key. I am very anxious about this because I love him very much and I do not like seeing him in duress. Thank you. Tom McCann.
:Yes, it can be serious, just as it can be serious for someone without this condition. Being punched near the heart and particularly being punched in the sternum is commonly associated with a lot of pain in all people. As a rule, avoid being punched. Yours, someone with this condition. 82.153.107.197 (talk) 22:28, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

message: "Pectus excavatum also occurs in about 1% of persons diagnosed with Celiac disease for unknown reasons.[citation needed]"
This un-cited comment seems irrelevant given the other content in the article.  Later, it's stated "Pectus excavatum occurs in an estimated 1 in 150-1000 births" (and provides a citation).  This suggests an occurrence of 0.1-1.5%.  Based solely on this information, I'm going to guess the "unknown reason" it occurs in 1% of people with Celiac disease is because it occurs in somewhere around 1% of the general population...
I'm not confident enough to delete the celiac comment, but I'd ask someone with more wiki-experience to consider it.  --68.112.202.234 (talk) 20:41, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

message: For the most part this entire section is seemingly an advertisement for a clone of the Nuss procedure. There is only one reference and that is literally just an advertisement for the surgery. CR055H41RZ (talk) 20:09, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
