Talk:Bronchiolitis obliterans

message: Can someone please update this article to reflect that BO can also be the side effect of an allogenic bone marrow transplant. That's how I became cursed with the disease. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001309.htm 70.192.194.63 (talk) 01:11, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Chronic Lung Graft Versus Host Disease

message: Removed sentence "Unlike water-soluble irritant gases which dissolve on the mucus membranes of the upper airway, oxides of nitrogen hydrolyze slowly into acids after penetrating to deep lung tissue." Sentence was clearly out of context in the Prognosis and Treatment section and does not appear to have any relevance to this article, at all. (can nitrous oxide also cause Bronchiolitis Obliterans? should be mentioned elsewhere if so). 129.79.145.94 18:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed oxides of nitrogen

message: Was the article written by a plaintiff attorney, popcorn workers lung may be a type of BO, but the article seems to over stress con agra, popcorn and toxic industrial fumes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.149.177.67 (talk) 11:45, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Written by a plaintiff attorney?

message: I just came here because B.O. was in the news and i wanted to read up on it. I found a stub, added some data about diacetyl and moved on -- only to go back to google and read the cached snippet they had there, which was entirly different than what i found online tonight. So i looked up the history and it is a FAR BETTER ARTICLE than what is here now. 
Meanwhile, this discussion age has some stuff about Popcorn Workers Lung deserving its own page, but that phrase redirects to the B.O. page. 
This looks like a hot button issue, but i am going to restore the older version as it is far more educational than what is online tonight. I will add an update on the Con Agra decision to drop diacetyl.

thread_title:  Is this page being vandalized? 

message: Clearly you are not a physician. BO is NOT just a manifestation of diacetyl---it is only ONE cause and is VERY rare compared to the rest of the BO etiologies. However the article, as you prefer it, implies BO is some new disease that is only seen in diacetyl exposure.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.149.177.67 (talk) 13:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: not scientific, popcorn people take it to a new article

message: This site keeps being by vandals, who are clearly lay people. Folks are trying to inject as many random facts about diacetyl as they possibly can, which is clearly not the medical perspective of BO. Diacetyl exposure is simply one (relatively minor) cause of BO.

thread_title: Vandals!

message: What's with the people from unsigned IP blocks, especially 209, and their program of continuing deletions? This is weird. 
The Con Agra decision to drop diacetyl from microwave popcorn, due to its link to BO in at least one consumer case and an unknown number of popcorn worker cases -- which was in the news yesterday and on this page yesterday might --  is now gone again! We had a clear response from industry, making a decision to eliminate the offending inhalant. Now it is gone. I restored it again, for the second time in two day.  
Is the person vandalizing this page working for a lawyer or public relations firm connected with the popcorn industry? I know it sounds strange, but it a reasonable question, because this sort of vandalizm of Wikipedia by interestd parties is not new.
User IP Block 209 has been warned about vandalism more than once on this page and more than once on his or her own user talk page.

thread_title:  Major deletions by anonymous IP Block users -- what's up? 

message: I have organized the 13 cited references and gave them consistent style tags. In doing so, i noted two "orphaned" refs -- refs which were not given as full citations. They were presented within the text as
*[NIOSH 1986; Lockey et al. 2002]. 
but due to lack of title, author, etc., they could not be listed in the actual ref section. 
If you know what they are or their full citation form, please add them to the appropriate text section in a form that will enable them to be seen as numbered refs in the ref list. If you do not know how to do the tagging / coding for that, please list them here and i will do so. 
Also, to anon IP block user 209: Your deletion of the Industrial inhalants section was not done "per discussion" as you claimed when deleting. Let's talk about it. You say:
 Flock workers lung is more of a DIP/IPF or BOOP picture than BO and should be removed (Chest. 2000 Jan;117(1):10-3.) [and] polyamide-amine paint (Ardystil syndrome) causes BOOP (Eur. Respir. J., August 1, 2006; 28(2): 422 - 446.)
Now, that may well be true, but why delete the entire section and the iinformation that battery workers' exposure to thionyl chloride fumes can cause BO?  Yes, thionyl chloride is listed in the etiology section, but THIS is a section about "Industrial inhalants" which is a different topic. Shortening the article is not a good idea. Removing information is not a good idea. If you want the nylon flock workers and the polyamide-amine paint wrokers out, that's okay, but don't delete the entire section. 
Thanks. cat Catherineyronwode 22:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The onus is on you--the sections says "Sporadic cases of Bronchiolitis obliterans linked to industrial inhalants have been reported in the published scientific literature in several industries" I think YOU need to cite the appropriate literature, or get rid of it.  Actually, you should move the whole thing to a more appropriate article on occupational lung disease; which is usually how it is handled in medical texts. In fact, the occupational lung disease article is pretty pathetic and I would be happy to see you expand it and you are welcome to link it to this page.  --209.149.177.67 23:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Found it and cited it. The cite is to the National Institutes of Health page on BO, listing industry-linked cases, so BO among nylon flock workers is now fully cited, with quotes from the NIH. Enjoy~ catCatherineyronwode 23:56, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

message: "Standard lung capacity is normally around 80% lung usage"
...erm dont you mean lung usage is 80% capacity?
:I also wondered about that -- but that's the way it was when i found it, and i didn't want to mess with it. Thanks for showing up, AnonEMouse -- it looks like this one is settling down. i found it an intersting topic. i'm off now to write about the Zancigs (stage magicians) or maybe to work on my own web site. seeya! cat Catherineyronwode 03:16, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible typo - otherwise needs clarification 

message: Reference six, "more than a cold" (http://www.morethanacold.co.uk/about-bronchiolitis/bronchiolitis-symptoms.aspx) refers to just bronchiolitis and not bronchiolitis obliterans and should be removed.
Also, some of the footnotes should be converted to inline references. Someone appears to have got the two mixed up. Captain n00dle\Talk 01:44, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Popcorn lung

message: I will be reviewing based on the outline provided in your workplan.
Introduction: I think you succeeded in expanding the introduction. The epidemiology, symptoms, clinical presentation, and association additions provided an introduction that flows well and encompasses major points across the article. Overall, did well to achieve adding new citations. I had no trouble reaching the couple links I tested from the introduction.
Signs and Symptoms: Doesn't like you were able to expand on the signs and symptoms section. I believe the idea of describing the different types of BO would be a great way to expand the section. If you decide to move on without expanding, I would delete that section and work that information into another sub-section.
Differential Diagnosis/Causes: The expansion on causes of OB was very well done with good substance. Did not see a differential diagnosis listed out, I think this would be a good future section. I had no trouble reaching a couple of links I tested from this section.
Diagnostic Approach: Medical imaging could have had more added to it. However, I think the section was well done overall. Images throughout the paper look good.
Overall: The article has a smooth flow with logical transitions between sections. No gleaming grammatical errors. Appropriate reading level. Quality multimedia. I have not identified any questionable citations or ones that I could not reach. I think this page would greatly benefit from some of the changes mentioned. Great job overall.

thread_title:  WikiProject Peer Review 

message: Thank you both for your insight into this article. I believe you both made great points on how to update and enhance the article. A few common themes presented in your critiques of the article, and that is what I focused on in regards to making edits. I was able to expand briefly on the signs and symptoms section, however as the signs and symptoms are relatively nonspecific, thus there was not a substantial amount of information I could add. In regards to the diagnosis section I added a differential diagnosis as requested. I also bolstered both the medical imaging and biopsy section, as I agreed with your input that they would enhance the article. Thank you again for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
