thread_title: Subtle vandalism?

message: "The ventral roots (motor pathway) are most prone to injury, as they are in the plane of greatest tension (anterior, sensory nerves are somewhat protected due to the usual inward movement of the shoulder)."
ventral and anterior mean the same thing, so you cannot contrast them against each other.
motor pathway is always ventral (anterior) while sensory pathway is dorsal (posterior).
I am not sure how to correct this paragraph because I don't know which is supposed to be more prone to damage, but as it stands the information is confused and doesn't make sense - it essentially says the front roots are most prone to injury while the front nerves are somewhat protected. One of them needs to be changed. THEMlCK (talk) 22:49, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the 2009 version of the sentence doesn't make sense (plane of force is also dubious). Nevertheless, it made its way, verbatim, into a 2016 textbook: . The 2008 version differs in that it routes the motor pathway through the dorsal roots. While this is in line with the stated mechanism (inward movement), it is just wrong (yes, the motor pathway is always ventral). Since none of the books I visited stated sensory losses to be dominating, just to the contrary , the mechanism must be wrong, too, and should be deleted. --Rainald62 (talk) 22:43, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Spasmodic torticollis

message: NOTE:  This sentence does not make sense:
"Relief from spasmodic torticollis is higher in those patients who take anticholinergic agents when compared to other oral medications. 50% of patients who use anticholinergic agents report relief, 21% of patients report relief from clonazepam, 11% of patients report relief from baclofen, and 13% benzodiazepines.[18]"
Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine, so how can 21% of patients report relief from clonazepam, while only 13% report relief from benzodiazepines?  Perhaps it's 13% report relief from benzodiazepines other than clonazepam, but this, too does not seem to make sense, as diazepam has much more of an effect on skeletal muscle relaxation than Klonopin (clonazepam). 
Suggest that this sentence be revised until these data are re-checked.

Talk:Acute severe asthma

message: As status asthmaticus is an acute exacerbation of asthma it seems a bit strange that it's characterized by muscle hypertrophy as hypertrophy is (I believe) usually caused by chronic diseases...

Talk:Stoma (medicine)

message: I think the title of the article should be changed from "Stoma_(medicine)" to "Surgical stomas". The intro paragraph should be revised. Surgical stomas can be internal or external. 
Note the MeSH definition: "[| Surgical Stomas]: Artificial openings created by a surgeon for therapeutic reasons. Most often this refers to openings from the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT through the ABDOMINAL WALL to the outside of the body. It can also refer to the two ends of a surgical anastomosis."
Wiki should follow [| NLM], high authority for American medical language.  NLM differentiates between [| stomata] and [| Surgical stomas]. 
Also the plural form: NLM uses the plural stomas for artificial surgical therapeutic openings and the plural stomata for natural internal or external openings, i.e. [| Peritoneal stomata],  [| Plant stomata].

thread_title:  Plagiarism 

message: Subclinical rumen acidosis is also commonly referred to as "grain overload". The low pH environment from consumption of a surplus of rapidly fermentable carbohydrate sources (i.e., grain) promotes development of S. bovis. Diets high in carbohydrates are called high concentrate diets. Wheat, barley, and corn are the most rapidly fermentable carbohydrate sources in the rumen. S. bovis is an amylolytic bacteria that ferments the grain. Lactic acid is produced as a by-product, leading to lactic acidosis, systemic dehydration, decreased heart rate, a distended rumen, decreased rumen motility, and diarrhea.

Talk:Stretch reflex

message: As this is a medical/scientific article I believe the first paragraph should more accurately read:
 The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is a muscle contraction in response to stretching 
 within the muscle. It is a monosynaptic reflex which provides AUTONOMIC 
 regulation of skeletal muscle length.
rather than stating that it is "automatic".  I believe it to be a function of the autonomic nervous system but have no specialised knowledge to be certain of this and so have left it as it stands.

Talk:Subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord

message: The Presentation section needs amending. The first part: "If someone is deficient in vitamin B12 and folic acid, the vitamin B12 deficiency must be treated first to avoid precipitating subacute combined degeneration of the cord" is correct. But the part in parentheses - "(giving folic acid first will turn the remaining B12 into methylcobalamin which will not be able to participate in fatty acid metabolism)" - is not. The correct reason is that this switches on the 'folate trap' which results in folate being trapped as methyltetrahydrofolate and not being available for the DNA synthesis and methylation processes required for myelin production.

message: The article states that tachyphylaxis and tolerance are synonymous; this is not quite true.  Tolerance refers to anything that decreases the biological response to a drug and refers to both short and long-term mechanisms.  Tachyphlaxis is a subtype of tolerance that refers to rapid, short-term blunting of the response (a good example is drugs that release monoamines; once all the monoamines have been released and depleted, any further administration of the drug does not produce an added response.  This is also in contrast to receptor down-regulation which occurs usually over weeks to months and is distinct from tachyphylaxis.
