Talk:Death rattle

message: I added the accuracy dispute tag.  The article (even as a stub) needs a rewrite.  This is folklore about the death rattle with no medical basis, no specific description of the phenomenon, what causes it, how often, and with statements like "Once the death rattle occurs, it is a clear sign that the person or animal is about to die and there is almost nothing that others can do to prevent it."  Please.  I'll try and clean it up later, but someone with a medical background could do it more justice.  Tempshill 20:06, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It is original research. Having seen (too) many people die, I have yet to observe the specific sequence of events as outlined in this ghastly piece of work. The author is confusing Cheyne-Stokes respiration with the increased bronchial secretions commonly observed in dying people. The result is deep, bubbly respirations that are indeed a telltale sign of impending death (but often hours or even days, not minutes). Restlessness and movement are also observed, but these are either myoclonic jerks secondary to encephalopathy or an expression of discomfort. In my experience these are not particularly indicative of impending death. JFW | T@lk 21:16, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Dispute tag

message: I am glad to see this article was kept. Having just lost someone yesterday, and having seen this effect precede their passing, it is reassuring to read articles such as this (and of course other documents as well with more details) which state that this is often a part of the onset of death. In this case, it took over a week from the start of the swallowing problems until the final result. It was unclear to us and the hospice attendants whether they had a flu or cold or some other infection causing it initially.
There has been some talk (in many articles) about the time range from start of the rattle to the actual death. I think this article could benefit from the added notation of the fact that the instance/time of death may be more directly related to the actual lack of water/nutrients during the rattle phase, which leads to the impending moment of death. For instance, the moment of death onset can be prolonged by use of a feeding tube if the patient or family has willed it, making it not directly related to the onset of the rattle/swallowing issue. Perhaps someone could find a citation for this. In the case I just observed, death came approximately 35 hours after the person could no longer ingest water or food, even though a chewing reflex could still be initiated. Also of note, the patient also could not properly expectorate in addition to the lack of swallowing, thus the pooling of saliva/mucus in the throat. Aviedit 07:46, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Aesthetic Realism/Archive 4

message: I suggest that we have this section about an aspect of Aesthetic Realism that is as famous as any: the fact that persons are able to make informed choices about their lives through studying it. And, as a result, things in oneself that had seemed impossible to change actually do change. The documentation is voluminous in many reliable sources, and a number of references are provided here. Note: This is the general category of change about which there is so much interest.
Aesthetic Realism and Preferences
Numerous articles have described the Aesthetic Realism education as enabling persons to make choices that enhance their lives. They state that persons learn how to make ethical decisions, consciously, which result in more self-respect. Men have come to respect women more ; women have come to respect men more ; children respect parents more ; people of diverse ethnicities come to respect those who are different ; and individuals who study Aesthetic Realism have also, for example, resolved eating disorders . This is because emotion itself, Aesthetic Realism says, is a “for and against of self shown through the body”—that is, emotion is preference. We can learn to have our preferences more deeply and truly exact through increased knowledge of the world and people. Likes and dislikes may be based on adequate knowledge or insufficient knowledge. A bird likes to fly and knows it can fly: its love of flying is based on the facts. But when a man, Robert, says, “I hate Picasso. My little girl paints better pictures,” he may not be so accurate. Later he may take a course in cubism at a local museum and come to like Picasso very much. He may learn, for example, how the painting Dora Maar Seated shows in two-dimensional geometric forms the deep feeling of a woman looking in a mirror. .  Robert’s contempt for modern art has changed to respect based on the facts. More knowledge will always make for a more accurate response to any person or thing: to painting, food, clothing, men, women. So if our contempt for a thing is based on facts—for example, contempt for a superficial painting or for a person who is unjust to a child—then increased knowledge also increases the critical feeling (the feeling of against). Aesthetic Realism states that through study of history, science, humanity—including knowledge of one’s own disposition to have contempt for what is different from oneself—one's one’s ability to be for and against accurately increases. --Aperey 16:48, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm having trouble understanding this sentence: "Samba TNG is therefore best paralleled with Windows NT 4.0 plus some bits, whereas Samba is best paralleled with Windows 2000 / 2003 minus some bits." I do not often use Microsoft software, so this seems odd. Honestly, I can't tell what's really different between NT4 and Vista besides some GUI changes. Comparing both projects to immediate successor and predecessor operating systems make it more vague; it sounds like the author of the sentence intended to make Samba TNG sound less capable? But with my understanding, it might just as well be claiming that Samba is like NT4 ("Windows 2000/2003 minus some bits") and Samba TNG is like 2000/2003 ("Windows NT 4.0 plus some bits").

message: The section on Fuller's Synergetics seems out of place in this article.  I think it belongs in an article of its own.  I suggest moving this article from its current name, "Synergetics", to "Synergetics (Haken)" and then creating a new article "Synergetics (Fuller)" for the paragraph on Fuller's concept.  Finally, a "Synergetics (disambiguation)" page would route to both of these articles, and it would also have a note on the Synergetics company of Luk.  The old "Synergetics" link would be redirected to this disambiguation page.  So this is my plan, but I'll wait a bit and see if anyone has any problems with it.
