thread_title:  Wow. 

message: I still haven't figured out how to do the references here, so I'll just list them in the order that they were used, and hope that someone else will fix the formatting. There are some cases where multiple sources say pretty much the same thing, which makes it even more confusing.

I know that other sources were also used, I just have to relocate them. Thanks in advance! --Kyoko 12:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  References section 

message: Just making a note so I don't forget (but if somebody gets to it before I do, thanks), the fact that during transplantation nerves are severed and aren't reconnected so feelings in the lungs are gone. While an obvious side effect it adds more danger since it's harder for the patient to tell if there is phlegm that needs to be removed from the body, if it's harder to take in air, or if there's an infection settling in the chest. I would say this might not even need a mention but since nerves are cut it is easier for a patient to get sick without realizing it since they don't feel bad or heavy in the chest. I don't have references for this right at the moment or else I'd add it myself. --ImmortalGoddezz 17:10, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow. I didn't read your message, and just added content about this very topic. You might want to reword it or move it to another section. I wasn't sure about where it should go. I'm just very surprised that we seem to have thought the same thing at almost the same time. --Kyoko 17:18, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Haha, yeah I noticed... strange. I meant to put it in last night, or at least make a mention of it.. --ImmortalGoddezz 01:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Also to be mentioned... 

message: Hello, I wikilinked the term "excess fluids" (post-transplant) to Pleural effusion, but I was wondering if there is a more specific term that might be more appropriate. I've found articles like Hemothorax, Hydrothorax, and Chylothorax. I don't know enough about the subject to tell what the fluids are, but I would guess that it would be a combination of blood, lymphatic fluid, and serous fluid. Is just the pleural effusion link OK? Thanks. --Kyoko 06:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be mostly serous fluid, but linking to pleural effusion covers it all nicely. --WS 22:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Let's see... when I think about it, the blood vessels to the lung(s) would have been tied off, and any blood would probably have been suctioned off during the surgery, so yeah, that makes sense. --Kyoko 23:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  what are "excess fluids" exactly? 

message: Hi there, do you think it would be worth mentioning the process of preparing donor lungs, i.e. their removal, inspection, prostacyclin wash, etc.? --Kyoko 06:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, that would be very interesting. --WS 23:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to add this info, but I'm away from my sources right now and will be far away on wikibreak very soon. Thanks for the input! --Kyoko 19:59, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  worth mentioning the process of preparing donor lungs? 

message: Hello, in one of the other pages that I've edited, I encountered the viewpoint that things should generally be in prose rather in lists, particularly if the article is under consideration for Good Article or Featured Article status.
As you know, the lung tx article currently has a lot of lists. I personally feel that keeping things in lists makes it easier for a reader to process a large amount of information, as in the list of requirements for potential recipients. There are also some things that I feel must be in a list or graph form, such as the list of qualifying conditions. I would appreciate some opinions on this.
Another thing: I'm considering submitting this to the Article Improvement Drive, in the hope that a wider audience might be able to fill in the gaps. I myself tend to hop from subject to subject here on Wikipedia, but I hope to get back into building this article again. --Kyoko 21:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  2 things: lists vs. prose, and possible [[WP:AID]]? 

message: Sometimes things get into the literature for no real justified reason. By what reason are the mentally ill to be refused life saving treatment. I noticed that drug therapy for hepatitis C also has this contraindication for the mentally ill, but the reason given for that is the drug therapy itself sometimes causes CNS symptoms, but even that is shaky. I am not trying to editorialize, I just question the reasoning, what is it based on?

replies: text: In the case of hepatitis C, interferon treatment is known to frequently cause severe depression, which often affects compliance with the treatment regimen (and can contribute to the risk of suicide). That said, sometimes the risk needs to be taken. As to lung transplants, I have no idea. 203.45.65.153 (talk) 15:55, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
