thread_title: note

message: Could someone with some time please edit this entry, and certainly remove the diagram? Miller-Dieker syndrome is NOT autosomal dominant in the usual sense because people with it do not survive to adulthood, so cannot become parents. A much better description is given at the U.S. National Library of Medicine®'s Genetics Home Reference, http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/miller-dieker-syndrome
Thanks.

thread_title:  Not autosomal dominant in the usual sense 

message: I have just removed several misleading mentions of autosomal dominant inheritance, plus the misleading (according to the article text, which is not well referenced) infobox.
Autosomal dominant inheritance from an affected parent does not seem to be a usual way of acquiring this condition due to its reduced life expectancy; indeed, I am unclear if there is any evidence it has ever happened, and emphasising it is at best unhelpful.
Autosomal dominant is where the gene causing a state is dominant thus leading to its expression in the phenotype whenever present.  This type of inheritance requires an affected parent and leads to a 50% chance of inheriting the condition when one parent is affected and the other not.  
According to the article text, no two unaffected parents have that chance of having an affected child, even if they have the balanced translocation.  The infobox in particular suggested both this 50% chance and that one of the parents must be affected, and that is not merely misleading but potentially very distressing for parents with no previous knowledge researching their child's diagnosis or possible diagnosis.
It is not clear if "autosomal dominant" is incorrect, rather than merely misleading, as in, if someone with the condition did have children, those children might inherit in an autosomal dominant fashion, but emphasising this is only useful the condition is compatible with having children.
I did wonder if something like "It [MDS] is thought to be inherited from an affected person in an autosomal dominant manner, but due to limited life expectancy, this is rarely or never relevant," should be added at the end of the section on cause.  (I didn't because I have no citation).
This article could do with attention from someone with more specialist knowledge!  FloweringOctopus (talk) 18:40, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Milligram per cent

message: I put in a citation for Figure 2.4 on page 17 of a biostatistics
textbook that could easily contain other references on other
pages.  I wanted to nest references, so the text would render as
"blah.^[1]", then under the Notes heading for [1] would appear
"<link>Rosner</link>, Figure 2.4, page 17", and in the References
section would appear the full data about this edition of Rosner,
with ISBN, etc., linked from the link in the Notes section (which
presumably could contain other links to Rosner).  Trying to set that
up using group= and name= was too complicated and didn't get anything
like acceptable rendering; also, there's an implication in the
current (2010-01-06=We) notes for citations that MediaWiki rendering
doesn't properly support such nesting without some ugly hacks.
Can somebody suggest a way to code all this that actually works?  Of
course, this article seems too unimportant (though I really needed it
the first time I tried to figure out what "mg%/ml" might mean), but
the nested-reference coding could be useful in much larger articles.
Is the punctuation correct in the book citation itself for Rosner?  I
didn't see a clear guideline; is there one?  If there are several,
should alternatives have links from the citation documentation?
There are multiple pages containing citation documentation;
I didn't get the impression there's a clear do-it-like-this
source, so I had to keep it simple and improvise.

Talk:Milwaukee brace

message: Despite differing names, braces for idiopathic scoliosis all have one thing in common; the application of forces to guide a crooked spine to becoming more corrected during peak vertical velocity of spinal growth spurts. These forces are usually oriented in triangles, and they use common parts of the anatomy such as the axilla (arm-pit) curve apices (peaks) and the pelvis. The goal is to achieve a stable out-of-brace spines at skeletal maturity. Many authors have suggested that if a curve, or curves are less than 40 degrees and are stable in a mature spine, they likely will not progress. 40 degrees to 50 degrees are considered a grey zone, in other words there are some who believe that any curve at or greater than 41 degrees, should have surgery to correct the curve with an implant, and stabilize the curve with a surgical fusion. Others believe that the physical environment of a 40 degree curve warrants waiting to see if progression will exceed 50 degrees, however, most professionals believe that any curve that exceed 50 degrees probably needs surgery.
The fashion of how these forces are delivered gives each orthosis its unique qualities. A Milwaukee brace employs polymer based pads (Axillary, thoracic, lumbar) placed at the previous parts of the anatomy delineated earlier in this section, and the use force triangulation that shows these forces are synergistic. This means that if you tighten any pad within the triangle. That forces of the reactive pads will synergistically answer to the initial pad tightening The Boston Brace employs pads in the same areas that are triangulated and synergistic, however these pads are mounted to the walls of the brace. 
The group that designed the Rosenberger brace analyzed that if these forces are cyclical, they would benefit by realizing greater curve correction. So the used soft pads, mounted on Dacron slings that are overtightened independently from the brace with forces delivered with high specificity, they will constantly load the curves and will roam with the changes of curve correction, and activities of daily living provided the cyclical loading as they are free to move against a person with a curve. 
The Wilmington and Rigo-Chenau bracing has the walls of the brace already set in correction, achieved in CAD or plaster casts, and these are how they deliver forces.
It is a disservice to an individual to allow correction to "bottom-out" at less than the limits of correction. A side bending x-ray can be used to find correction limits. 
All these methods have been used for decades and are reported in peer review literature with these methods being quite mechanically thought provoking. 149.75.189.53 (talk) 23:45, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Foolishness 

message: I just stubbed in the following as a secondary lead head (with redirect) because we seem to lack anything better. 
A fundamental movement skill is a developed ability to move the body in coordinated ways to achieve consistent performance at demanding physical tasks, such as found in sports, combat or personal locomotion, especially those unique to humans, such as ice skating, skateboarding, kayaking, or horseback riding. Movement skills generally emphasize stability, balance, and a coordinated muscular progression from prime movers (legs, hips, lower back) to secondary movers (shoulders, elbow, wrist) when conducting explosive movements, such as throwing a baseball.
:
In most physical training, development of core musculature is a central focus.
:
In the athletic context, fundamental movement skills draw upon human physiology and sport psychology.
Stepping back and looking at this in context of the larger page, it's actually not a bad addition within this context, as it renders the upper range of motor skill more vivid and concrete. 
In any case, it was a quick addition, thrown at the wall to see what sticks. I think it's fine here, I think it would be fine as a separate page, and I have no problem if others decide it would be most fine nowhere at all. Revise, revert, enhance at will. — MaxEnt 17:47, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

message: This reads like an ad for Bayer. A Wikipedia article should have a section that includes possible adverse effects and other criticisms, and it should draw on studies performed by those who do not have a financial incentive in the product. Since these may be difficult to find, the threshhold for reliable sources may be lower in the criticism section than elsewhere. (Like all pharma companies, Bayer has an incentive to fund studies that push its products.) Just for example, what are the side-effects if an animal (accidentally) ingests the medicine, at various doses? What are the long-term (10+ years) effects of using it monthly? Etc.

The problem is that the city of Nagano is not the primary topic for the term—the correct article is Nagano (city)—so the link created by the template goes to the dab page Nagano, and I couldn't find a way to disambiguate the link without making a mess. All the other recent host cities are the primary topics for their names, so this isn't an issue otherwise.
