Talk:Plasmodiidae

message: I'm working on the classification of these protozoa. many of the species listed under related infect blood cells but are currently classified in a different branch of the apicomplexia. This section may perhaps be better classified as 'Other parasites infecting blood cells.' 
The literature on these organisms is not well organised and its proving tricky to sort this out.  DrMicro 20:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: At present there are a number of taxa that do not strictly belong on this page. They have been placed here on a temporary basis until I or some one else can figure out where they belong in the taxonomy of this phylum. 
While other there have been proposals after Euzéby's these have been less complete and have focused either on the relations of this phylum with other organisms or on a number of taxa within this phylum. It seems unlikely that Euzéby's taxonomy will be completely vindicated when (?if) molecular studies are completed on all the genera in this phylum. However at present it is the most comprehensive that has been proposed to date and for this reason it remains useful. 
As noted earlier the taxonomy of this phylum is a horrible mess with descriptions of the genera scattered in multiple different journals. Please tolerate these extraneous taxa being located here until the relevant pages have been created on wikipedia. DrMicro (talk) 23:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Having reviewed the material on WP I now think it is reasonable to delete the other familes from the taxonomy here. These are listed in the article on Haemospororida. The taxonomy criteria for inclusion in this family should stay. DrMicro (talk) 17:44, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Plasmodium ovale

message: Hello! I cut the following sentence out of the article because it appears to be the opinion of the editor who added it. I know next-to-nothing about how much we need updated epidemiological information for P. ovale, so if someone can find a source of some experts proclaiming that a fresh global map is needed, perhaps we could rephrase the sentence and stick it back in there.
:The epidemiology of this parasite is in need of updating because the most recent global map of its distribution was produced in 1969.

replies: text: CPAP is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, PEEP is Positive End Expiratory Pressure.  PEEP is applied upon exhalation and CPAP is applied all the time.

Talk:Professional courtesy

message: *The following unsourced language, appearing likely to be factually inaccurate was removed "Among first responders, professional courtesy most typically applies during mass casualty incidents. When a first responder is injured in the line of duty, that responder skips triage and received immediate treatment. All other patients on scene are treated or not based on severity." While it may be possible for this statement to be true, it would be a distinct minority and it is not the widely supported view of the majority. Additionally, while some types of first responders provide emergency medical care, none are considered to be physicians, nor do other first responders such as police officers provide any emergency medical care. The generally accepted practice of mass casualty treatment involves the standard use of triage. SomeThingsLaw (talk) 03:17, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Nowadays, does this phrase not get a much much wider meaning than simply doctors and policemen? There would seem to be oodles of examples where members of any numbers of professions (and included by implication, of "trades" as well) provide their own services or otherwise show "courtesy" to their own, often (or even especially) where they might be considered to be competitors? For example, TV stations often show coverage from competitive stations/networks, where of course they will acknowledge that this is a courtesy.

Talk:Promazine

message: Please contribute to this article if you can. It seems to be very difficult to find reliable information about promazine. It is an older pharmaceutical which has been largely superseded by newer ones. As far as I know, one reason for the decline of its "popularity" was the number of accidental deaths when used concurrently with alcohol. However, it still has off-label uses, at least as a non-addictive sleeping aid in very small doses (compared to the dosage used for the treatment of schizophrenia). Comparison of effects, metabolism, side-effects etc. with other neuroleptics would be very welcome. Jedku (talk) 13:30, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Psychodermatology

message: Today I made some significant changes to this page over many edits which I want to document here for any other interested editors. It seems to me that the page was a mash-up of at least three only loosely related things:
*The non-controversial psychological treatment of BEHAVIORAL disorders (hair-pulling, chronic picking, etc) 
*The non-controversial psychological treatment of a delusional skin condition, Morgellons. (This appeared just once in a list of conditions.)
*The controversial concept that psychology can heal REAL skin aliments.
After doing some research including using some of the citations, it seems to me that the first two topics really are not directly related to psychodermatology, and this article should only be about the third. Therefore I removed that material and revised what remained accordingly.
I also modified the lede so it is CLEAR that this is what psychodermatology is about. Let me know if anyone sees this differently. If I am missing the boat and all of this falls under this topic, I believe there should at least be subsections to explain the differences.
Note that the the first 4 citations should be reviewed to see which are actually applicable to the material remaining. RobP (talk) 21:52, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
