thread_title:  [[Draculin]] 

message: This page was proposed for merger with draculin by Totodu74 on 10 January 2016 (wihout opening a discussion or making any query).
The pages should not be merged because desmoteplase and draculin are different proteins, albeit both from the saliva of bat, as made clear in the article by Low et al. (see ). In brief,
#Desmoteplase, discovered in 1932, is a fibrinolytic enzyme and plasminogen activator, actually exists is four types, smaller in size, and is used in clinical trial as a drug for acute ischemic stroke.
#Draculin, discovered in 1995, is a plasminogen inhibitor lacking fibrinolytic activity, and a much larger 88.5 KDa protein with no known—so far—medical use. 
Hence, separate articles are warranted. Chhandama (talk) 12:48, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Enzyme replacement therapy

message: "Enzyme replacement therapy does not "treat" the underlying disease, only the symptoms."
What is the treatment of the underlying disease called?
Sorry, i dont know how to wikipedia, but that line quoted above does not make sense to me too. If anything (depending on the disease) it does treat the underlying disease, specifically replacing the missing enzyme. Missing enzymes in not a symptom, "Oh doctor, my iduronate-2-sulfatase levels feel really low". What the author is trying to say is that the mutated or missing gene is not fixed and production of the protein is instead grown and then injected into the patient. Unfortunately there are currently very few successful gene therapy cases (being the only way to initiate production of the protein within the individual... and even that does not fix the original mutation unless homologous recombination is involved).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.35.243.48 (talk) 05:25, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Desiderata of the Lombards

message: Well, this certainly is not so:
"Although she is commonly referred to by the name Desiderata, it is now theorised that the name derives from an editorial error in a 19th century copy of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica which capitalised the D in desideriata filiam (Latin for desired daughter)."
Voltaire, in an edition of the the Annales de l'Empire published in 1754, mentions Desiderata as the wife of Charlemagne.  If there was indeed an error in reading the original source manuscript, it considerably pre-dates the Monumenta.

message: This article has been tagged for a while as having a promotional tone. As far as I can tell, the intro and episode descriptions are merely descriptive, but the WFF section of each episode was heavily promotional. Rather than edit each one to try to stick with the content of the episode, I just deleted the WWF section (I assume that the WWF page has some info for those curious enough to look. The intro talks about how the show is based on the WWF's efforts with each animal, in my opinion that should suffice.

replies: text: I don`t know, but I`d personally keep that section with perhaps adding link to eye droppers article, it adds a positive vibe of "Did you know that?" and it makes this article much better in perception of a reader (it did for me at least). By adding link on text "eye droppers" to relevant article about it you give already enough signal to the reader that this is not precisely about the same thing, but somewhat related. This is why I`d keep it and I don`t think it is against any rules.
