Talk:Ménière's disease
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Technical issues concerning ease of direct linking trump correctly accented page titles (most internet users don’t know how to make accents with their keyboards and the existence of redirects is less than obvious). The full and correct accenting should be used within the text of the article though and the accented page titles should be redirect to the unaccented ones. See the thread at the bottom of Talk:Naming conventions about Andre Breton vs André Breton for complete explanation. In this particular case there is also an issue with extent of use: Meniere's Disease getting 16,300 hits on Google and Ménière’s disease only getting 490 (see talk:naming conventions on why this is important when redirects already exist for the more "popular" form). --maveric149
- cough... both your André Breton examples above are indentical. I've taken the liberty of changing one to a plain "e" Tarquin
- Don't know what you mean -- André Breton is a redirect to Andre Breton. --maveric149
- Oh, I see what you did, thanks. --maveric149
- Don't know what you mean -- André Breton is a redirect to Andre Breton. --maveric149

- Support. I'm sure there's something about this in WP:NC somewhere. The closest I can find is WP:DASH, which states that en-dashes in article titles should be replaced with hyphens to make them typable; the situation with untypable "smart" apostrophes is identical. — Haeleth Talk 09:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation needed tag
Which definition or dx criteria state that "A diagnosis may be made in the absence of all four classic symptoms"? For example Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium, Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium guidelines for the diagnosis and evaluation of therapy in Meniere's disease, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 113:181-185 requires: "Either tinnitus or aural fullness (or both) must be present on the affected side to make the diagnosis for reporting purposes under these guidelines." <admittedly this is for reporting purposes> FWIW - AvB ÷ talk 09:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I corrected the part about Darwin being a Meniere's patient. He might have had an inner ear disease, but in the absence of hearing loss and aural fullness there is no basis for a diagnosis.

[edit] Conjectural Diagnosis
The article on Vincent van Gogh has been expanded and a link to a separate article on Vincent van Gogh's medical condition is now included. I have therefore amended/linked Famous Sufferers in line with these changes. I have also edited/qualified the Milligan & Clare "See Also" to neutralise and accord with the foregoing. I think the Starry Night reference now looks frivolous. Any thoughts?

[edit] Under: 'See Also'
As it is written down now, it would suggest that this long list of people would have Meniere's disease as a consequence of syphilis. This is obviously nonsense, or to say it more politely, where is the evidence that Syphilis causes Meniere's disease? Layraud 11:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Either I am ging to delete "probably caused by syphillis" or the whole phrase about these people. Problem is that I don't know what that book really says. Anyone? Layraud 09:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
