Talk:Perineal urethra

message: According to the hypospadias article, a "perineal urethra" is also known as a third degree hypospadia.

message: The article currently reads "The Trendelenburg position used to be the standard first aid position for shock". Is this no longer the case? 86.141.37.165 (talk) 18:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shock 

message: This is confusing.  Does the description mean the patient's trunk is horizontal and legs are raised, or does it mean the patient's entire body is essentially straight, but lying on a surface that is tilted at an angle so the feet are higher than the head?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.139.27.56 (talk) 19:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Have a read through the references and external links. The Trendelenburg position is generally what you describe second; your first description would be called "passive leg elevation", although some of the sources indicate it may be considered a "modified Trendelenburg position". Perhaps the article could be expanded to make that clearer. Hope that helps. --RexxS (talk) 22:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Description 

message: After reading the cited references, it seems to me that in contrast to the standard Trendelenburg position the modified Trendelenburg position is beneficial and should be used in emergency situations such as hypovolemic shock. Opinions? --Eleassar my talk 19:33, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Modified Trendelenburg position

message: I noticed that the citation for use in respiratory patients is from 1988, and I'm wondering if this is still in use? I found some more recent sources which discuss decreased functional reserve capacity and increased atelectasis caused by this position. Of course, the newer sources involved differing variables. I don't know much about this topic, but a 31 year old medical source is a bit of a red flag to me.

Talk:Tumescence

message: Good addition to this page would be the mecahnism of detumescence.  It has something to do with alpha andrenergic agonists.  It is interesting because without understanding this mechanism you can't understand why drugs like viagra don't cause eternal erection.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.106.197.96 (talk) 01:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. Detumescence redirects here. I was looking for a definition. We can at least find in Wiktionary detumescence. __meco (talk) 17:19, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Detumescence

message: This should be connected to the "breast sex" Wiki article (Mammary intercourse).  It has been documented that large breasts will produce higher levels of male tumescence than normal-sized or smaller breasts.  This will then result in a more satisfactory sexual experience for the big-breasted woman.  It proves that women with larger breasts have better sex.  Thus there is a need to connect that article to this one.  Thanks.

Talk:Uterine artery embolization

message: Can anybody evaluate the extent of these adverse effects? Is it 1%, 1/1,000, 1,10,000? The tone seems to emphasize the dangers. --Nbauman (talk) 23:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The tone indeed was overly alarmist, a comparison with hysterectomy and other alternative procedures is probably the most useful quantification of side effects. Wikipedia should not turn a blind eye to problems but also needs to provide a balanced perspective. Richiez (talk) 11:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adverse effects 

message: Seems the references to this procedure are from the United Kingdom, with one or two studies from Australia and the Netherlands. I'm wondering if this procedure is not usually offered in the USA? (hysterectomy is usually the first solution offered for post-childbearing women.) The Mayo clinic http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/uterine-artery-embolization/MY00502/DSECTION=results states that long term studies are not available on UAE. Also that five year surveys show similar results to myomectomy. But I'm wondering if American doctors generally avoid providing UAE (I won't speculate as to various possible reasons.) And perhaps the article focuses on the negatives for similar reasons. Tkech (talk) 22:05, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Vaginal mucus

message: Much of the content here overlaps with cervical mucus. I propose that Vaginal mucus be merged into Vagina. I think that the content of this article can easily be explained there, it is of a reasonable size that this merge will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. benrusholme (talk) 16:07, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Vulvectomy

message: This article sounds authoritative and knowledgable, but has no references, sources, or citations. Someone could be making it all up -- or not, depending on who they are. But either way, and no matter who wrote this entry, references and sources must be added. Just sounding authoritative isn't good enough. So I added an  tag. Timothy Perper (talk) 08:05, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I just checked the edit history of the page. The article was written first by an anonymous editor who gave only an IP as an identifier. Other anonymous editors have added material as well, plus some cleanup editing by registered editors. So unless this article can be documented -- and I mean documented, not just asserted -- it probably should be deleted as completely untrustworthy. And no, it is NOT my responsibility to supply references. Timothy Perper (talk) 08:19, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Can vulvodynia be caused by stress or anxiety? Can vulvodynia be caused by irritable bowel syndrome? Can any gynecological cancers cause vulvodynia? Is it possible for vulvodynia to extend to not only the vulva, but also the perineum and anus?

Talk:Abducens nucleus

message: There should be a link from this article to Duane syndrome. An isolated palsy of lateral rectus is possible, though it is not due to damage to the nucleus, as this article explains, but from the non-formation of the nucleus during development. I think this would be useful and relevant information to include.  Can someone make this edit?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.255.121.137 (talk) 12:22, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: What causes anisometropia?

message: This online calculator indicates that the distance used in the formula should be defined as that from the pupil to the back of the spectacle lens, rather than the cornea.  It seems reasonable to me.  If so, then the definition of h in the current WP article is not quite right.  
It would also imply that with contact lenses the severity of aniseikonia would be much reduced, but not strictly zero.

Talk:Anterior chamber of eyeball

message: In the large (excellent) picture, the text that points to the anterior chamber has a line coming from it which then indicates a span of space. That line actually ends directly within a vertical structure of grey fibers. 
# What are those grey fibers? In a 'companion' article, (the anterior segment of the eyeball), another picture, (second one down, there), seems to show this as trabecular meshwork, and I wonder if I'm understanding that correctly, and if that meshwork is not within the optical path of the eye, bur rather borders the cornea?  
# And are the two grey lines outside the two sides of that structure parts of the iris? 
# And the space between the inner part of the cornea and the first of those grey lines is aqueous humor? 
# And could that information be added to the diagram? (I don't know how, nor if I'm right.) UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 02:58, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Aphakia

message: It's bold to change this, but the references (1 and 2) are absolutely terrible.
The first reads like an advertisement and the second is just a hearsay article about a rumor. To be honest, the entire paragraph regarding being able to see "near-UV" wavelengths is suspect and not sourced with anything reliable.
If somebody can find better references, I hope they make use of them, but right now, that's not really all that reasonable.

thread_title: note

message: With note taken of the "Naming" discussion above, I would take issue with the description of this as "an old age syndrome".  The condition exists across various age ranges (and as the second sentence states, is present in newborns).  I would support using the most common name for the condition, as determined by citations from medical authorities, with the description altered to an unquestionably true statement (such as "prevalent in the elderly", or other appropriate phrase).

Talk:Central retinal artery

message: Ok.  So I went to my optometrist the other day and as he was looking in my eye he made a casual comment that he could see the vein in my retina pulsing.  Not being able to keep my mouth shut I stated that I was under the impression that arteries should be pulsing, not veins.  I told him that I believe him but that I didn’t understand how that could be.  He showed me a fundoscopic image of my eye and pointed to where he routinely sees a pulse—we both agreed that it was the central retinal vein.  I hypothesized that this pulse was due to its proximity to the artery but neither one of us had a truly satisfying answer.
Here’s what I found so far:  Bates’ Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking says that venous pulsation may be visible.  Swartz’s Textbook of Physical Diagnosis says that the central retinal vein may show “spontaneous pulsation” in 85% of patients.  The 39th edition of Gray’s Anatomy is woefully deficient in its description of the central retinal vein (ambiguously indicating forward flow (?)) but it does say that the central retinal artery generally does not have a visible pulse on opthalmoscopy.  Moore and Dalley’ Clinically Oriented Anatomy states nothing of venous pulsation but says that “pulsation of the retinal arteries is usually visible."  Ross and Pawlina’s Histology was useless.  Rhoades’ and Tanner’s Medical Physiology was also useless.  Barker, Burton, and Zieve’s Principles of Ambulatory Medicine (fifth edition) and Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine (thirteenth edition) also were useless.MorbidAnatomy (talk) 00:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
