message: The current first paragraph (200812007) is misleading imho opinion in that it gives the new formula (as of 2006) with the original date of introduction (1958).

Talk:Age adjustment

message: Age-standardized mortality rate is basically a specific application of age adjustment - and the 'when standardisation is inappropriate' part in particular would be better placed here.

thread_title: Good essay

message: First of all, I dislike that we have directors and any "top level" decisions. I would prefer if there were no authority.
I also dislike separating users into groups with different functions! It makes it look like we can't be players and directors and goalkeepers and staff and whatever we want. Everyone can contribute to any area of the encyclopedia, and I certainly don't like being labeled (those user boxes saying that I'm a metapedian are just so people don't say "oh my god you have ten times more contributions to other spaces than to the mainspace, do you really think you're an useful contributor?" because I'm so tired of that kind of thing). Oh, sure, we can't all be directors, but that's a bad thing that should be fixed, as I said above. A.Z. 00:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there A.Z. - The point I'm trying to make with respect to the directors is that the arbitration committee are the people that have to step in if there's a problem. They're the people that make binding resolutions here. The community can deal with most things, but as a last resort, we have the arbitration committee and Jimbo, with no greater place to appeal. That's why I made the analogy. In essense, we are all equal here - and many users cross many different bands. I for one contribute in a number of different areas. I guess what I was trying to put across in the essay are the stereotypical types of wikipedians. Anyway, it's not meant to be taken seriously - it's my way way of adding a little humour in here :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 01:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

*Rapid healing trick falls foul of anti-doping rules
*UK Sport question 'blood spinning'

thread_title: Possible references

message: This article is extremely biased and lacks verifiability.
It implies that PRP is a known effective treatment, promoting healing at a rate "as much as five times faster." No unbiased or scientific sources are cited at all to support this claim, only newspaper articles.
Meanwhile, surveys of literature, such as this one, say "There is uncertainty about the evidence to support the increasing clinical use of platelet-rich plasma and autologous blood concentrates as a treatment modality for orthopaedic bone and soft-tissue injuries."
In addition, the lifting of the WADA ban, as mentioned, happened because of the same lack of evidence. From the Mirror source: "WADA banned intramuscular PRP injections in competitive athletes in 2010 but this was removed in 2011 because of limited evidence for a systemic ergogenic effect of PRP, but the growth factors within PRP remain prohibited." A reader of this Wikipedia entry might infer that WADA lifted the ban because of the supposed "calls to legitimize the practice," but that is entirely false and appears deliberately misleading.
This article is also biased towards the idea that blood-spinning should be a permitted practice. It does mention that it is controversial, but presents only the side that wants to legitimize the practice. Even that claim is extremely poor. The word "scientists" (what scientists??) is a weasel word, and no such scientists are identified. The argument that PRP doesn't improve performance, only recovery time, is completely groundless because that is already an acceptable reason to ban a substance. Anabolic steroids, for example, also do not improve performance, only recovery time, via increased production of proteins and decreased muscle catabolism. Reduced recovery time allows an athlete to train more than they would have otherwise, which leads to increased performance, and therein lies the unfair advantage.

Talk:Brioschi (company)

message: The advert (right) shows that there, is or was, a company based in Milan called Achille Brioschi & C. which had the exclusive concession for the sale of Farina Gegenüber eau de cologne in Italy and its colonies. This prompts two questions: was it this company, rather than the American one described in this article, to which Eco referred in The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana ? and is/was there a relationship between the two companies? Ian Spackman (talk) 06:09, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: O.K., I think my edits to the article, subsequent upon reading the bio in the DBI and the relevant section of Eco’s novel, have answered my own questions. I think the article is still rather confused, though. The American product seems to be the original fizzy-drink-making powder, repurposed as a medicine, rather than the medicinal cachet. Our description of the cachet is, I suspect, really a description of the original effervescente. All rather puzzling…. Ian Spackman (talk) 12:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

- what exactly is meant by insdustrial real-time systems? As opposed to what?

Talk:Combination therapy

message: Some examples that are typically treated with combination therapy and which illustrate its various motivations: 
HIV is treated with multiple antiretrovirals in order to avoid antiviral resistance which was a much bigger problem pre-HAART. 
Most psychiatric illnesses are treated with some combination of psychiatric medication and psychotherapy, however two disorders illustrate the intricacies best: bipolar disorder is often treated with a mood stabiliser plus an antipsychotic as mood stabilisers do little to treat an ongoing major depressive episode. However, in some cases an antidepressant is desired for its more potent antidepressant effect, but antidepressant monotherapy is not appropriate even for people with bipolar II as it can trigger a manic episode, mixed state, affective switching, or rapid cycling. As a result, bipolar disorder tends to be managed with various medications for a single patient, with the ones taken on a given day being dependent on if the individual is experiencing a manic or depressive episode or a mixed or euthymic state. While medication is the principal treatment for bipolar disorder, perhaps due to the complex medication regimen psychotherapy is often also used, particularly with the goal of preventing episodes from occurring to begin with. 
The other disorder which illustrates the goals of combination therapy is borderline personality disorder - quite frequently comorbid with bipolar disorder, as well as each disorder being misdiagnosed as the other - for which the treatment is psychotherapy only in most cases, with medication being used when indicated by a comorbidity or in patients whose impulsive anger is likely to be destructive, and with the aim being to cease medication when impulse control and emotion regulation have been improved with psychotherapy. Furthermore, medication is likely to be necessary in the first year of psychotherapy, because in the treatment of this disorder, it is common for considerable regression to occur in that first year. This makes the lack of specific pharmacological treatment for borderline personality disorder particularly frutrating, although medications used for bipolar disorder, particularly aripiprazole, are often used to rein in the extremes of mood which tend to be what triggers the acting on potentially destructive impulses.
