message: Could someone confirm:
"2.low urine sodium < 10 ( because kidney saves sodium and water,hence low urine sodium and increase urine osmolarity)"
I thought that in a case like CAH due to 21 alphaOHase deficiency there was a salt wasting dehydration that led to prerenal azotemia.  Would this result not result in excess natriuresis? Ibrmrn (talk) 20:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This article seems to have been taken over and re-written by someone with an axe to grind, violating Wikipedia tone/neutrality standards, especially since no sources are given for any of the claims in the first paragraph, and only two in the next three paragraphs! The bulk of the article is devoted to the claims of a single author. This seems all seems off. Shouldn't the procedure be to summarise the most commonly known/famous story (I consider it famous, anyway,) in the opening so that people know they've got the correct article, and then note that controversies exist? Also, no mention is made in this article of the case having inspired the character of Mowgli in Kipling's The Jungle Book, which seems like a pretty glaring oversight. --H  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.198.203 (talk) 20:19, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Belmont Report

message: This Wikipedia article lists six fundamental ethical 'principles' for using any human subjects for research:
(1)	Autonomy: Respect for persons: protecting the autonomy of all people and treating them with courtesy and respect and allowing for informed consent;
(2)	Beneficence: maximizing benefits for the research project while minimizing risks to the research subjects; and
(3)	Justice: ensuring reasonable, non-exploitative, and well-considered procedures are administered fairly (the fair distribution of costs and benefits to potential research participants.)
(4)	Fidelity: fairness, and equality. Balance of Risks and Benefits
(5)	Non-maleficence: Do no harm.
(6)	Veracity: Be truthful, no deception.
However, the Belmont Report (1979) itself lists only THREE (3) ethical principles for HSR (human subjects research):
•	Autonomy
	obtain informed consent
	protect privacy
	maintain confidentiality
•	Beneficence
	assessment of risk/benefit
•	Justice
	equitable selection of subjects
Where are proportionality and the balance of risks and benefits?  Fidelity or Non-Maleficence?  
Well, the Belmont Report itself lists only the first three principles, and the six ethical principles Wikipedia cites for human subjects research break out beneficence into and non-maleficence (so there is one of the extra ‘principles’), fidelity (balancing risks and harms) is usually included in the principle of justice  (so there is another one of the extra ‘principles’), and veracity is part of respect for persons (under autonomy) (so there is the final extra ‘principle’).
Hope this helps.  The article should be rewritten.

Talk:Biotelemetry

message: Not sure why the introduction of HDTV in the US would cause spectrum crowding - ATSC digital broadcasts use the same amount of spectrum (6 MHz) as the old NTSC broadcasts, and use it more efficiently.  Additionally, the switch to ATSC causes VHF channels 2-4 to be discontinued, and reassigned higher UHF band channels above 51 to other purposes.  Was the author referring to the use of so-called whitespace equipment?  Even there, the equipment is supposed to be redesigned to avoid interference when possible, making better/more efficient use of spectrum...

thread_title:  Causes/water intake 

message: The article makes mention of breathing problems associated with bloating.  As one who occasionally suffers from breathing issues related to bloating, I think that this should be elaborated on more.  
There are many causes of bloating and many different kinds of breathing issues related to bloating.
For instance, bloating which is caused by excess gas may cause breathing distress by crowding the lungs.  This would cause a sensation of not getting a 'full' breath, as if your lungs don't expand all the way.  Abdominal muscle tension as well can be linked to gas and bloating and that may cause a sensation of diaphragm tightness which can make breathing uncomfortable.  As alarming as these sensations are, they are not normally dangerous.
On the other hand, bloating that is caused by something like congestive heart failure can also cause breathing difficulties, and these can be genuine medical emergencies.
I am not a doctor, I'm merely a sufferer, so I'll reframe from posting.  Hopefully a doctor sees this an elaborates on the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ECCarb (talk • contribs) 16:58, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Breathing 

message: This article is ambiguous.

replies: text: This is probably why I felt major bloating after eating some melon. Except that according to the article on dietary fiber, soluble fiber is readily fermented in the colon into gases while insoluble fiber is metabolically inert and absorbs water and eases defecation as it moves through the digestive system.

message: There is no question that this is a landmark case. There are numerous scholarly reliable secondary sources that say so, and analyze the case and its progeny at length.  The problem is that none of those sources are cited as references, and the article appears to be entirely original research on the part of the various editors who have contributed to it.  Simply summarizing cases based solely on the decision itself, without reference to secondary sources is original research. The reported decision of a court is a primary source and cannot be the sole basis for the article. The article needs to be rewritten with the text based instead on reliable secondary sources, which happily are readily available. Banks Irk (talk) 17:36, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
