Plausibility of meditation
You asked for a plausible pathway for meditation to reduce BP. I'd love to see your response.Khimaris (talk) 23:15, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Doc Elisa, I'm just messaging you cause I'd like to let you know that I think that your contributions towards medical articles have been really helpful for me. I'm currently working in a Wikipedia project in my college and it would be lovely to know if I could at some point establish contact with you here.

Re your comment about lower limbs venous ultrasonography
My understanding is that editors generally request a peer review first (can be requested here: Peer review), then make a good article nomination and then finally a featured article nomination. Here are the criteria for a good article: Good article criteria, see also What the Good article criteria are not. Peer review is good to start with for an article that has never had good article status. The feedback is more informal than a good article nomination, which has more strict criteria and may require a lot of editing. Hope this helps. Lesion ( talk ) 10:32, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the note
Thanks for the note about deep vein thrombosis. I've yet to dive into those sources yet, unfortunately! Biosthmors (talk) 00:32, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that material isn't really something we want to include at this point, because I haven't seen any recent reviews (per WP:MEDDATE) emphasize those details. Sorry to effectively revert your contribution. :-/ Biosthmors (talk) 18:04, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You might find 10.1371/journal.pone.0059372 interesting. I haven't read it myself, but a lay press headline was "Link Between Blood Clotting, Immune Response Uncovered." Best. Biosthmors (talk) 00:57, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Might you have been thinking thrombocytosis when you said thrombophilia? That's my first guess at least! Best. Biosthmors (talk) 02:37, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bradycardia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bpm (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you so much for your support DocElisa. We were actually wondering if by any chance you could give us some feedback about our Medical English project. We were given the task to write down our own essay, and my partner & I have chosen "The Embriology of the Heart" as our topic. Do you think that it's a proper topic for 1st year medical students? Do you also think that we can do such article in less than 3000 words? And can you maybe provide us a web site where we can have easy access to medical vocabulary? Since we are not native speakers and our references are books in Spanish.

Thanks for everything hope to hear soon from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alysha1 (talk • contribs) 17:51, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Lower limbs venous ultrasonography
I have started a GA review at Talk:Lower limbs venous ultrasonography/GA1.  Spinning Spark  07:36, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Edit Summary
Saw a few of your edits. Keep up your good work. But I would strongly insist that you add Edit Summary to all your edits. The edit summaries show up in the page history and makes it easier for editors to review changes.  D ip ta ns hu Talk 09:49, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Lower limbs
Hi DocElisa, firstly thank you for your very welcome comments! I'm very nearly finished now....a few points - what does hyper-debit mean in Technical Pitfalls; re eye image, its referred to as eye sign, in papers - which is right? also the fig attached to AASV section refers to ASV....and lastly is there a reason why AASV is mentioned and not ASV. All best Iztwoz (talk) 20:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Doc, I've been looking again at this article and problems noted regarding GA review....if you are interested - can suggest redoing the contents box as things are not in the right order - 1. Indications. 2. Risks and side effects. 3. Preparation. 4. Equipment. 5. Mechanism. 6. Procedure and the rest are OK. Once this is done I'll be happy to change sections round to match. all the best Iztwoz (talk) 19:23, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Old question for you

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration. Cheers, Ocaasit &#124; c 20:21, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
 * Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
 * If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Your GA nomination of Lower limbs venous ultrasonography
The article Lower limbs venous ultrasonography you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Lower limbs venous ultrasonography for comments about the article. Well done!  Spinning Spark  17:35, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Medical Translation Newsletter
 Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce

Medical Translation Newsletter

Issue 1, June/July 2014 by CFCF, Doc James

sign up for monthly delivery



This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice. note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject Medicine

Spotlight - Simplified article translation

Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.

Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
 * WHO's list of Essential Medicines
 * Neglected tropical diseases
 * Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.

We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.

What's happening?

I've () taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
 * IEG grant

For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
 * Wikimania 2014

There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish. What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
 * Integration progress


 * Swedish Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that. Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
 * Dutch Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
 * Polish Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article. (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
 * Arabic The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.

Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here

Feature – Ebola articles
During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!
 * Just some of our over 60 translations:


 * Xhosa
 * Northern Sotho
 * Zulu
 * Tsonga
 * Venda
 * Hausa
 * Igbo
 * Yoruba
 * Kinyarwanda
 * Swahili
 * Tigrinya

At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page! We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed! Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes. -- CFCF  🍌 (email) 13:09, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * New roles and guides!
 * New sign up page!
 * Style guides for translations
 * Some more stats
 * In July, 18 full article translations went live ( WP:RTT ), and an additional 6 simplified versions went live ( WP:RTTS )!
 * We have a number of new lead integrators into Dutch, Polish, Arabic and Bulgarian, with more to come in smaller languages! ( Find them here old sign up page )
 * We were mentioned in a Global Voices Online report by Subhashish Panigrahi at Doctors and translators are working together to bridge Wikipedia's medical language gap
 * New medical professionals have started, dedicated to working in Odiya and Kinyarwanda!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:47, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
