What after treatment?

[edit]

49.213.33.148 (talk) 16:02, 15 May 2011 (UTC) Hi,[reply]

Before two years my father was suffering from Infective endocarditis before two years. In transesophageal echocardiogram it was found that the size of base of PML is 15x10mm and there is vegetation over PML. The doctor instructed that the vegetation will turn into fiber once he undergoes treatment. He has gone under required treatment of penicillin IV at interval of 4hrs. for 3 weeks. He was completely fine for two years.

But now before 10 days he was having problem in vision of eyes. He consulted doctor and after few tests it is found that there is a Roth's spot on retina. He is also suffering from night sweats.

So now I am tensed that whether he is again suffering from the same disease. In another recent report of transesophageal echocardiogram it is found that the size of base of PML is 8x6mm.

Who is this for?

[edit]

Like all our medical pages, editors have forgotten who they are writing for and written a page that can only be understood by somebody who ALREADY KNOWS ALL THIS. I give you one example- What does "vegetative" mean in this context? Are there NO instances where the technical term could be switched for something less intimidating and smart-arse? I get it that we want to be authoritative, but don't forget the audience please. IceDragon64 (talk) 03:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree there is definitely some medical jargon that needs to be simplified and I am working on that. I am unable to find a single use of the term "vegetative" when I search this article. Can you tell me exactly where you see it? I see vegetations, is that what you meant? If so, it is defined in the article (though perhaps not ideally). If you see any other terms that seem overly technical to the point that it makes them incomprehensible, please let me know and I will do my best to fix it. Thank you!

Details discussion of classification

[edit]

Wondering if this would be better lower under diagnosis? As classification is part of diagnosis... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:28, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't seem consistent with how many of our medical articles are. Many of them have a separate classification section that is dedicated to defining the terminology used for different classification schema. I'm personally in favor of consistency across medical articles. I think the diagnosis section really should expand more on things like physical exam findings, echocardiography/imaging, clinical criteria like the Duke criteria, etc. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 06:18, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Intravenous drug use

[edit]

Makes it sound like methamphetamine is an opioid. Maybe "... inject drugs such as heroin or methamphetamine" or just "People who use drugs intravenously"? 85.76.44.240 (talk) 06:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
