[edit] Headache

You seem to have expertise in neurology. Care to join WP:CLINMED? JFW | T@lk 00:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks JFW:- I think I joined (I am more proficient in Neurology than I am in Wiki so if I have not done something I should have than please let me know. I am not even sure you see will this message (should it be on your talk page?Sanjpatel1 (talk) 14:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

The stroke article is in need of serious improvement. You may have noticed some contributions I have made today. I'm also horrified that we are not presently mentioning the Bamford criteria; I have provided a link on Talk:Stroke, and will hopefully add this in soon.

At the moment I'm getting rid of oversimplifications and repetitions, and at the same time I'm trying to tone down the medical jargon for the benefit of the general readership. My personal preference is to choose lay terminology and medical jargon side-by-side, so the reader will understand the meaning of the terms for the remainder of the article.

I need to dig up a Lancet review on stroke that I read several years ago. It will help with the citation backbone that the article is presently lacking. JFW | T@lk 18:29, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Embedding videos

{{helpme}}

Is there a way of uploading a video to wiki that is robustly protected from download?

No. Absolutely everything uploaded is downloadable again: that's sort of the point of having a free-content encyclopedia. --ais523 12:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Palmomental reflex

Thanks for creating palmomental reflex; I've converted the references to Wikipedia:Footnotes. This system may seem a bit intimidating, but eventually it makes footnoting really straightforward.

I used {{cite journal}}. This turns references into standard formatting. On my userpage you can see a link to Diberri's citation tool. Just entering the PMID code will generate an automatic citation. JFW | T@lk 17:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Todd's paresis

Do you have a reference for the statement that seizures are a contraindication for thrombolysis in stroke? JFW | T@lk 22:47, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Done with a link to full-text article (and addition of the word "relative")

[edit] Horner's syndrome

Do you have a reference for the loss of sympathetic innervation to the retractor bulbi muscle, not Müller-Rouget muscle causing ptosis? I'm a medical student and I just want to know where I went wrong. If you don't have a reference an explanation will suffice. Thanks! Ibrmrn (talk) 22:42, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

It was not my edit. I agree with the view it is the Muller's muscle that is dennervated causing the ptosis. I have made the change. It's written in Adam's & Victor's principles of neurology.

I fixed the reference. For more information on how to add references, see footnotes. JFW | T@lk 09:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry JFW, I think I get it now.

[edit] ALS edits

Hi SanjPatel1, welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your (well-referenced) edit on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, especially mentioning cognitive change! Keep up the good work! --PaulWicks (talk) 10:57, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Thx :)

[edit] Concussion

Hey, Sanjpatel, I saw you on WP:MED/participants and noticed that you said you're interested in neurology. I wondered if I could ask a favor. I've just submitted a peer review for the concussion article, which I've been working on. I'm not an expert, and it's possible that I've accidentally introduced some factual distortions. I wondered if you could look it over and make sure the facts are correct and accurately represent the prevailing medical views? I would appreciate it immensely if you could comment on the peer review or just leave a note on the article's talk page. If you don't have time I totally understand. Thanks much, delldot talk 15:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
