Talk:Oligoclonal band

message: It has taken me quite a while to understand the first sentence in the article:
"Oligoclonal bands are about two to five bands of immunoglobulins on protein electrophoresis of cerebrospinal fluid"
I'm not a medical person but I'm not below average intelligence, so I figure that if it takes me quite a while to figure out what the sentence means, others will be in a similar position.
I'm in the unfortunate position of having had the procedure which shows up the oligoclonal bands so I'm also interested in the subject matter.
I propose adding a "simpler" version to the end of the first paragraph, something along the lines of:
In layman's terms; a patient has a lumbar puncture performed, which removes
some of their cerebrospinal fluid.  A method of analysing the fluid (the method 
is called protein electrophoresis) is performed, a possible result of which is 
that about two to five bands of immunoglobulins (known as oligoclonal bands) 
are evident.
Would this be OK to add in? I think it makes it easier to understand but then again, I was never particularly hot at any of the science subjects.

thread_title: Various

message: The entry does not explain how the staining of the gel is performed. Since this has a direct effect on possible downstream analyses (e.g. mass spectrometry or a quantitative interpretation) I'd consider this helpful to state somewhere in the entry.
The oligoclonal bands consist of immunoglobulins secreted by plasma cells (B cells). They are called oligoclonal because there are several clones of B-cells secreting them; when they are only present in CSF, it´s assumed that they have been produced inside the central nervous system (CNS); if they are also present in serum (mirror pattern), they are not specific of CNS, so they are produced outside (CNS is separated from the rest of the body by different barriers). The presense of oligoclonal bands only in CSF confirms, in the appropriate cinical situation, multiple sclerosis, but they are not specific of this disease.
A monoclonal band is an immunoglobulin secreted by a single clone of B-cells (a clone is the set of cells deriving from one single cell, all producing the same immunoglobulin when applied to B-cells)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.126.10.220 (talk) 09:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Continued influence 

message: When Lymeswold was first produced, it went to cash & carries for the small village and independent shops. Those shops jumped on this and produced a substantial demand by the general public. The producers then pushed it into the supermarkets and deprived the smaller shops of supply. Because of this, many of those smaller shops refused to buy what small supplies were available. Obviously, the supermarkets could not promote it as well as the smaller shops and so it went the same way as many innovative food lines. 2A00:23C7:3BAD:9201:C934:F338:69A4:9D8E (talk) 20:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

The L-shaped main stand that houses the players dressing 
facilites and the supporters lounge was built when Raith 
sold Alex James to Preston North End F.C. in 1923. They 
didn't pay it off until 1946.
They didn't pay what off?
And what is the relevance to the sale of Alex James; it seems to have nothing to do with building the main stand other than it coincidentally happened when a player was sold.  Did the proceeds pay some/all of the costs of building the stand?

thread_title:  Needs pointer to the law that created the currency. 

message: The article should cite reliable sources for the currency symbol "CR" , since the symbols of previous currencies had many variants in common use.  In particular, care must be taken to document the use of capital "R" instead of lowercase "r", and whether the two-stroke dollar sign, specifically, was to be used instead of the single-stroke variant. Note that the decree that created the first cruzeiro (1942) used "Cr $" with the single-stroke variant, but in common usage the two variants were considered mere stylistic choices with no semantic value.Jorge Stolfi (talk) 13:37, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Calgary Dollar

message: It's xmas day here, so I don't have materials to hand, but I'll try to gather up references beyond the Calgary Dollars website over the next week or so. Off hand, I can recall articles published in the Calgary Herald, Calgary Sun, FFWD and Alberta Views, as well as clips on local news broadcasts. I'm not sure if there are any public reports from our key funder—the United Way—that would be useful (finding out will have to wait until January when folks are back in the office).
As to whether it is a currency or not, I've got a bunch of physical bills in my wallet right now and that says to me that it is a currency. (Local currencies are legally recognized as such by Revenue Canada—with specific rules governing taxation to go with that.) The project's predecessor, Bow Chinook Barter Community, was a mixed system that had a printed currency and also directly supported bartering. Since the reorganization into Calgary Dollars, there's no formal support for barter.
--GrantNeufeld 21:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree.  If you're my barber, and I give you 10 apples, each worth $1 in exchange for a haircut, Revenue Canada would expect you to report $10 of revenue when calculating your income for Income Tax.  As the consumer, I would be obligated to pay you $0.70 in GST on top of the 10 apples (or the service provider may deem the tax included in the $10 worth of apples).  In any non-currency transaction (e.g. barter), Revenue Canada measures the value of the item(s) using an appropriate mechanism, normally market value (if possible), and treats the transaction "as though" currency traded hands.  The fact Revenue Canada does this, does not mean it recognize apples, cars, houses, trucks, boats, hair cuts, Calgary Dollars, or any other such stuff as "currency".  The fact Revenue Canada doesn't allow a barter scheme to evade taxes, is not a signal of recognition.  As for the "Calgary Dollars" saying their currency, well the same is true of Monopoly money.  --Rob 22:50, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

According to my Canadian Press Stylebook (the bible for Canadian reporters), the Criminal Code prohibits the publication of any Canadian banknote or a recognizable portion of one. This does not apply if either, the length and width is less than three-quarters or greater than 1.5 times the length or width of a real one, if the likeness is in black and white only, or features just one side of the banknote. As well, the Bank of Canada may provide a replica of a banknote and agree to waive prosecution, usually to promote a newly issued note. These images may be transmitted. In sum, I'm sure the reason behind this law is to keep anyone from even thinking that a print-off of an image is real. I hope this helps. Scott--75.156.147.64 (talk) 00:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
