Talk:Venous cutdown

message: The method of gaining venous access during intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) is sometimes called "venous cutdown", it is an extremely similar procedure with a very different context. It is a routine part of surgery, not an emergency procedure, and there is usually no cannula left in place after the anesthetic cocktail is instilled into the vein. Sometimes the terminology is that "the vein is dissected", and it is not termed a cutdown. See Henderson, et al., 1997, linked from the IVRA article. 209.6.225.254 (talk) 04:22, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Given the etymology of "caseosa" as noted in the article, it seems to be the historically dominant metaphor and on that basis an entirely appropriate description. Marktgordon (talk) 19:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Cheese-like is a valid medical symptom description. Cheese has a certain softness, gel-like character and a certain texture. I hate cheese, but certainly know what it looks like. By extrapolation, 'cheese-like' can be applied as a universal description of a symptom, and as such be included in textbooks and applied as a diagnostical tool.194.171.106.2 (talk) 01:39, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Voluntary commitment

message: I have voluntarily admitted myself to a mental hospital after voluntarily admitting myself to suicide watch in the United States, Illinois, when I was an adolescent. After filling out all the paperwork with my father, it was quite late at night. I went to sleep, woke up the next morning, and after seeing... well.. everything, by the time I was allowed a phone call, I wanted to leave. Later that night, I learned that despite my father filling out the necessary paperwork to get me discharged and my obvious desire to be discharged, I learned from my father that I probably wouldn't be able to get out of there soon. After "dealing" with this, some yelling and crying involved, I learned that they are allowed, Despite voluntarily committing myself to both Suicide watch, and the hospital, That they can hold me, Supposedly legally(Though they had no evidence I was a harm to myself or others, Except by my own word, And to this day I still call it illegal imprisonment) for up to 5 business days, and they fully intended to keep that long. Now, Technically, they actually held me for 7 days, because Saturday and Sunday are apparently not business days(even though the mental hospital never truly is closed), so unless you are admitted on Sunday night, expect to actually be held for a week. Yeah.
Just thought I would share my personal experience with supposedly voluntary commitment, in the hopes that someone will come along and research it a bit more, and perhaps improve this article.

replies: text: The Wiggers Diagram is undoubtedly a work of genius. The unavoidable truth behind the controversy regarding its origin stems to a fellowship Dr Wiggers spent with Dr Otto Frank in 1912. What he brought back home with him has remained a nightmare for legal intellectual property experts ever since. I think Dr. Wiggers fully understood what he was doing when he purloined the work of Dr. Frank. The work since then delineating sounds from volumetrics and coaptation have helped many informed listeners for many years. @Lbeben lbeben 00:36, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Talk:Wolff–Chaikoff effect

message: I believe what you describe is the Jodbasedow phenomenon.  The Wolff-Chaikoff effect is the normal inhibition of iodine organification and hormone formation once the maximum level has been reached.  It is the "shut-off switch" for the system.  With the Jodbasedow phenomenon, the shutoff is not working and iodine continues to be transported across the membrane, organified and hormone made, resulting in an iodine-induced hypothyroidism.

Talk:Writer's cramp

message: This article seems to be describing Writer's Cramp as two different things: (1) The temporary affliction of the muscles in the hand caused by extensive use, and (2) The chronic condition affecting motor control of the hand, caused by the chemical deficiency in the basal ganglia (dystonia).
This should be clarified and expanded upon.  If Writer's Cramp refers to both in different contexts, this should be mentioned.  I will spearhead this effort if no one else does, but I don't have an MD or DO and feel unqualified to rewrite this article without extensive research 64.221.248.17 17:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The invention of the teddy bear has also been attributed to Morris Michtom (and his wife Rose).

The last reference, the Teddy Bear Museum, gives some context.  
* 1894 - an early stuffed bear by German toy company Gebrüder Sussenguth.
* 1897 - Steiff company toy has toy bear in catalogue and at toy fair
* 1899 - Margaret Steiff gets patent on a few soft toy bears
* 1902 - Morris Michtom sells the first "Teddy’s Bear" in his toy shop in the U.S.

Talk:Abrasion (medicine)

message: In the days after a serious depth abrasion, there is a thick, sticky, yellow-tan exudate/ooze that comes out of the abrasion. What's this?
It's stretchy, and sticks to a cotton bandage, if it happens to come in contact with it. It also can dry out, and become like glue. But will soften again, if soaked with water. I absorb it with a paper towel. But within an hour, more is produced.
DaveDodgy (talk) 11:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Its lymph. Its normal for lymph to be produced for days/weeks or longer, depending on the depth of the injury.  Use teflon-based non-stick pads.  If there's no scab, and you've cleaned it out really really well, so that there's no sand or other dirt/gunk left under the wound, then try tegaderm or hydrocolloid bandages (no wikipedia article for these?  WTF!) Be sure to read and follow the instructions!  In my experience, a few days/week of antibiotic+bandages is enough to expell all the dirt, after which the hydrocolloid bandages become safe to use.  Make sure that there is no infection (red, angry skin around the edges); it there is, you must treat the infection first. Topical antibiotics, and if you've been out getting it wet, dirty, e.g. swimming, then povidone-iodine each time.  If it itches, povidone. If you let a scab form, its too late; sometimes bandages and antibiotics will melt away scabs if they'e still thin. Heals much much much faster, better, cleaner if you never let the scab form.

* Half of the subtopics here have already been merged.
* These articles are very short in length (1-2 sentences) and have not been edited significantly in 3-4 years.
* This knowledge shouldn't be obscured from readers of this article by virtue of being isolated in an obscure article of 1-2 lines.
* These topics may receive more attention by being mentioned in the main article.
* The articles, if needs be, could be re-expanded at a later date.
