User talk:MAlvis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to Wikipedia. Your edits at atherosclerosis are very good, too.
I think you would be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Clinical medicine.
Have fun. :-)

[edit] Re: Atheroma
Hi MAlvis
Sure, I can help, but it seems User: 80.128.54.96 has solved your problem at Atheroma and posted a new article (moved from meta-wiki). I think it should be easy to incorporate your text there now.
Happy editing. :-)

[edit] Cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures
Cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures is now nicely enriched. Excellent. :-) -- PFHLai 06:17, 2004 Jul 29 (UTC )
[edit] Another doc!
Hi MAlvis, pleased to have a cardiologist on board. I see you've met Patrick Lai, and I trust you've seen work by User:Ksheka, who has done tremendous work on the electrophysiology and antiarrhythmics pages. Would you perhaps be interested to join a lot of other Wiki-doctors at the WikiProject "Clinical medicine". This is a general forum for the medical content of Wikipedia, and it has been quite succesful in raising standards of many medical articles. JFW | T@lk 16:33, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Hi MAlvis, I twiddled a bit with your edits on myocardial infarction. In general, I would advise against inserting new sections into an article that has already been structured. Although some participants of the WikiProject disagree, I feel that pathophysiology info should come after the clinical section (signs/symptoms/diagnostic tests). JFW | T@lk 08:51, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] EBT
A redirect is also a page. When you've been redirected to Electronic Benefit Transfer, there is a link beneath the title that leads to the redirect. You can then edit the redirect. I've turned it into the disambig you desired.
I've just been copyediting some of your new additions. You're writing very useful stuff - I know too little about atherosclerosis, and that's after a year being a data collector for a major study into familial hypercholesterolemia. If you don't mind, I'd like to give some stylistic comments:
- Once you've linked to an article, it is generally unnecessary to link every future instance.
- Please double-check when you link to initialisms and abbreviations. CAT has a long disambig page beneath it, not just computed axial tomography. DNA is a nice exception. JFW | T@lk 20:49, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for your talk message. When it comes to units, Wikipedia has pages that employ the scientif notation for some - Orders of magnitude (mass) and the pages that link there may be a nice start. For volt and derivatives this is not (yet) the case. JFW | T@lk 19:33, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicate articles
Hi MAlvis. I just discovered that you created Cardiac Output and Stroke Volume, while there were already pages extant without the capital (e.g. cardiac output and stroke volume). I therefore changed your pages into redirects. As far as I could see, the content of these pages was reflected in their older counterparts. Most of these pages were written by User:Ksheka, a rather thorough fellow from New York who is doing a fellowship in interventional cardiology.
Please also proofread your contributions for typos! JFW | T@lk 19:10, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm sorry for obliterating the detail you'd added. I should have read it more closely, and indeed transfer those things to the respective talk pages. The capitalisation issue is not really a "problem" of the wiki - it allows for parallel pages to be created where the one is the simple term and the other is a book/movie etc. by that name.
- Generally, all titles are lowercase unless there's a good reason not to. I've been moving pages on diseases to lowercase titles for some time now (apart from the eponymous ones, of course, like Rendu-Osler-Weber disease.
- Your cardiovascular imaging and physiology knowledge is very much appreciated. These are very hard subjects, and it is an art to represent these subjects in a comprehensive yet understandable manner! JFW | T@lk 08:32, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] CT Scanners
Thanks for the response. I'm a journalist and had to quickly make sense of CT & PET for an article I was writing. --Roisterer 05:27, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Hi! Thanks for providing a source for this image. Unfortunately, that image doesn't appear to be free for our use. Do you use one of these devices in your professional setting? If so, perhaps you could take a photograph yourself, and upload it here? Then we would be assured of having a free image of this device. Thanks. :) kmccoy (talk) 23:47, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] You're back!
Hi MAlvis. Good to have you back. JFW | T@lk 18:44, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] nice to see another doctor
Apparently we don't cross paths much. I reverted your explanation of types 1 & 2 of diabetes mellitus because they were somewhat out of date and not entirely accurate. No offense intended. I would be happy to elaborate here or on article talk page if you are interested. alteripse 23:16, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
- You would be the right person to write something about tirofiban! JFW | T@lk 11:15, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
You left a message on my talk page probably meant for alteripse (talk • contribs). JFW | T@lk 22:43, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
I saw your lengthy message on JFW's page about my reversion (I wasnt snooping-- but I was watching yours for a reply to my note). Your painstaking response made think I was perhaps too quick on the revert trigger on an article that has too many insertions of much more objectionable material. I certainly did not intend to impugn your patient care. You took enough trouble with your reply that I felt I owed you more of an explanation on talk:diabetes mellitus about specifics. I did not intend to give offense and am open to compromise or modification. alteripse 23:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New category
Based on your user page, this may be of interest to you: [[Category:Wikipedians who are pilots]]. Best regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 17:00, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Source for particle size etc
Hi, I've noticed that on many pages you have made the point that lipoprotein particle size is a stronger predictor of an atherogenic lipid profile than lipoprotein concentrations. I don't dispute that this is correct, but some relevant sources would be very helpful. JFW | T@lk 13:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- Can I attract your attention again to the lack of references in your contributions? Electron beam tomography, for example, really needs journal references to back up the numerical claims made in it. On hypercholesterolemia you keep on inserting that LDL particle size is relevant, but despite my above message no references have been provided. Do any professional guidelines in the USA expect practicioners to use lipoprotein particle sizes? Has its use been clinically validated? Is it cost-effective?
- Please address my concerns. The relevant policies are verifiability, reliable sources and cite your sources. Thank you. JFW | T@lk 18:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pedal Thread Pitch
"with 20 TPI (a thread pitch unique to bike pedals)." - MAlvis (22:46, 15 November 2006)
- While Sheldon Brown confirms the 20 TPI, my Sears/Craftsman 50 Piece Tap and Die Set (hardly anything fancy) contains dies of size 1/2 x 20, 7/16 x 20, and everyone's favorite 1/4 x 20. Also, my Park Tool pedal taps are labeled only 9/16 x 20 (LH and RH), and the pitch matches exactly the right hand 1/2 x 20 tap that comes in the Sears set. I'm skeptical of the claim that 20 TPI is "a thread pitch unique to bike pedals." Do you have a source or additional information? -AndrewDressel 21:08, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
-
- So, with evidence that 20 TPI is not unique to bicycle pedals, and no evidence that it is unique, I've taken that statement out. -AndrewDressel; User_talk:AndrewDressel 14:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
