Back in May, you had questions for me about the ScienceSource project: [4]

I have shown various demo versions of a MEDRS algorithm in workshops; and the plan for structuring a version beyond prototypes is coming together. Also, the focus list we work from on Wikidata has recently been expanded, to over 10K articles, with additions for the infectious disease and endocrinology specialties — oncology will be next. So I can explain things, as they stand.

On the first point, what has been added (after the pilot stage) consists entirely of articles deemed to be "reviews" by PubMed. This is a baseline. Any so-called reviews that are inadequate can be blacklisted, on a case-by-case basis.

On "predatory publishing", we shall filter open-access journals by Directory of Open Access Journals approval. This deals with the primary problem, presumably, but leaves a secondary one of OA journals that for whatever reason DOAJ doesn't include. Today I have a list of about 20 of those, and thought I'd ask you about the three where Wikidata doesn't list a publisher:

• Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
• Oncotarget
• Internal Medicine (Japanese Society of Internal Medicine journal)

Of those, I'd assume Internal Medicine was fine, Oncotarget is questionable, and the other one I can't really tell from the journal's website.

This secondary business seems to be on a scale that is small enough to handle, but does include The BMJ, so I don't see that it can be disregarded. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:29, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

User:Charles Matthews you should probably also remove those that have an impact factor of zero or close to zero.

User:Headbomb is the expert in journals.

Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:37, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Not sure what the ScienceSource project is, but you'll likely want to take a look at WP:SOURCEWATCH/SETUP as a general list of crap citations that is used to generate WP:SOURCEWATCH. It ain't perfect, but it's got everything from Beall (old and new lists), Quackwatch, and several other lists. Also includes a lot based on categories, but it's reaching very wide with those. This Signpost article has more information on it. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:55, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

m:Grants:Project/ContentMine/ScienceSource is the ScienceSource grant page, with links to reports; more links at d:User:Charles Matthews#ScienceSource, and very detailed information on the potential uploads is at d:User:Charles Matthews/ScienceSourceIngest. This is about reviews, with a Creative Commons license, and papers in them with an identified main subject that is a disease, falling under the listed specialties. The metadata is being acquired by import from PubMed and PMC/EPMC.

WP:SOURCEWATCH/SETUP looks to be a useful resource, certainly, so thanks for that. We looked at Beall and decided it was too quirky, so we are pivoting on DOAJ for the OA side.

I've followed quite a number of archived WT:MED discussions where impact factor has been raised as a filter: there are reasons not to be keen, and the data is not conveniently to hand on Wikidata right now. On the other hand, a principled list of journals that really can be screened out for referencing purposes, say "100 least desirable", and concentrating on the closed-access side, is going to be helpful if I can see what the principles should be. I'll study up some more. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:30, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@Charles Matthews: likely the best way to use Beall for a project like that is use it as a baseline and prune it to a core of crap. Like stuff on there is guilty until proven innocent, and you once you decide where your threshold of crapness is, you remove items from Beall's. For expediency, that could be something as simple as removing Frontiers, Medknow, MDPI, Hindawai, and Dove, and making sure only Bentham Open is included (many of those publishers were removed by Beall over the years too). After that, there shouldn't remain very many 'questionable' entries. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 08:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

OK, thanks, I'll bear that in mind. I'm looking right now at the Quackwatch list of journals, some of which are in Wikidata, meaning that for our purposes screening out those ones will be a simple practical step. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:58, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

There needs to be a bit of judgment there, since you'll have things like Muscle & Fitness on QW, which is a magazine with fad diet / supplement nonsense, but which is otherwise decent for things like biographies. As always the question of a reliable source is "reliable for what?" Whatever you come up with, I'll be keeping an eye on ScienceSource. It'd certainly be worth including in the navbox one the project is mature enough. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:02, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

HIFU

Hi James, firstly I'd like to apologies for causing you aggro on this. This is the first time I have ad a go at editing and obviously I have some way to go. I am an ER nurse practitioner by background but recently have been asked to help in a new charity which focuses on prostate cancer awareness but in specific raising funds to support the introduction of HIFU in regional centers in the UK. I guess I am having trouble making my editing sound neutral. Below is a rewrite, do you think this is acceptable.

Following clinical trials in the UK. HIFU (High Intensity Focused Untrasonography) is being considered for the treatment of non metastatic prostate cancer (citation). This form of treatment for appropriate patients with prostate cancer has demonstrated a potential reduction in some of the side effects associated with current standard treatments (citation). — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkVertue (talk • contribs) 08:54, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Amyloidosis

My wording was: "Amyloid purpura, bruising around the eyes seen in approximately 15% of patients with primary systemic amyloidosis."

This did three things:

• Changed "bleeding under the skin" to "bruising" - perhaps not as technically correct, but more accurate/clearer for a layperson imho
• Added the 15% - important because 85% of patients won't' get this, as pointed out by an IP edit immediately before mine.
• Added a ref for that stat

Note that I have also suggested, in the Talk page, moving this image down into signs and symptoms. Although this was/is a symptom I myself have, its prominence is not really warranted, given that it's relatively uncommon. - Snori (talk) 21:17, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

re: Endovascular coiling

Hi - nice reorg on endovascular coiling. While it is certainly used frequently for cerebral aneurysms, the phrase "endovascular coiling" refers to a technique that is used various places in the body (splenic bleeding after trauma, type 2 endoleaks following EVAR), not just for cerebral stuff. The page should reflect this somehow. BakerStMD 13:01, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Lyme - What text of the ref supports?

What text of the ref supports? " However, retreatment may actually not be offered, because the guidelines do not define how to assess failure of the initial treatment.[1]"

Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:43, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

  The document uses the expression "treatment failure" in Table 2 but never defines it anywhere 
  (even in later papers, author JJ Halperin uses "treatment failure" in the same loose sense, 
  without ever defining it.)
  On the other hand, the document clearly defines "post-Lyme syndrome" as "occurs in patients 
  who have had Lyme disease, but, after treatment that would normally be expected to be effective,
  have continued to have residual chronic symptoms," and goes into a lengthy argument condemning 
  antibiotic treatment for it and concluding "published antibiotic treatment trials of PLS provide
  compelling Class I evidence that PLS is not due to active Borrelia infection and is not 
  responsive to further antibiotic therapy."
  So, when a North American patient with neuroborreliosis returns to the doctor with neurologic 
  complaints after a full course of doxycycline, is that a case of treatment failure or 
  post-lyme syndrome? The guidelines offer no guidance on this question. When I first read the 
  guidelines, I found it obvious that in such a case a second, parenteral course of antibiotics 
  would be given to the patient in an attempt to get him or her well. However, to my surprise, 
  almost every doctor I know interprets the guidelines the other way and withholds further 
  antibiotic treatment.
  I think this sentence should be reinstated in the article because it might be read by people
  trying to decide between treatment options for neuroborreliosis: They should know that,
  no matter what they think the guidelines mean, the first course of antibiotics is very likely 
  to be the only one (from a mainstream doctor).

This like like your own interpretation rather than something the guideline says. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Also what text of the ref supports "Healing of facial palsy is not a sure sign of antibiotic treatment success.[2]"? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:44, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

The text I see is "Although antibiotic treatment may not hasten the resolution of seventh cranial nerve palsy associated with B. burgdorferi infection, antibiotics should be given to prevent further sequelae (A-II)." Which does not support. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:46, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

  In "Background and Diagnosis of Early Neurologic Lyme Disease," just before "Recommendations:"

  "all patients with cranial nerve palsy in association with Lyme disease should receive antibiotic
  therapy, not primarily for the purpose of expediting recovery from the paralysis, which will 
  usually resolve within a few weeks regardless of whether antimicrobial therapy is given, but
  rather to prevent later complications"

  The purpose of antibiotic treatment is to prevent later complications, not to resolve
  facial palsy. It should be considered successful when it prevents those later complications,
  not when the palsy resolves, which would be nearly as likely to happen regardless of treatment.

Borreliacell (talk) 03:21, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

So it would be more accurate to say "Facial palsy may resolve also resolve without treatment, however, treatment is still recommended to prevent other complications." Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

OK. Borreliacell (talk) 15:31, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Interested to bring leptospirosis and melioidosis to Wiki Journal of Medicine or Open Medicine

I have seen your work on Dengue fever and it is very impressive. Currently, I am improving on both leptospirosis and meliodosis articles so that both articles can go through peer review and undergo publication in indexed journals. Just some questions I would like to ask you:
1. After I completed my editing on both Wiki articles, should I submit them for good article and featured article review on Wikipedia or should I submit them directly to journal for peer review?
2. Is "good article" good enough for a journal or is it "featured article"?
3. Which journal should I submit the articles for review? Is it Wiki Journal of Medicine or Open Medicine?

I don't think I can bring both articles to publications by myself. Would appreciate your help or other peoples' help in providing opinions and improving this article. Thank you. Regards. Cerevisae (talk) 20:57, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Rewording "mutation"

Hi James, my understanding would be that reference to South Africa should be limited to the name of the diseases/ condition, and not be juxtaposed to the SA case as it is here. Am I right? Also, the text makes it sound as if these are mutations of an original variegate porphyria, whereas the mutations involved are further upstream, such as in/at the PPOX gene/ the HFE gene (I am making up that term here, as I don't know what the equivalent term is in medicine.

User: Doc James. Kindly enumerate "lots of puffery". Sentence you have referred to is "During the same tenure, Indian Government had massively increased their spending on TB, and has started the use of new revolutionary drug Bedaquiline against Multidrug Resistant TB through conditional access programme".

Bedaquiline has been referred to as a revolutionary drug quiet frequently , because of its wonderful activity in MDR-TB. It is also one of the newest class approved for TB in last 40-50 years . India is out of very few countries that have made Bedaquiline available free of cost in 2016. I feel that it is not correct to label the statement "puffery". I have however edited the section.

Thanks User:Doc James. 1) Regarding Bdq- the best part with this drug is that it has significantly decreased the pill burden and improved mortality and cure rates among MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients. Elimination of TB and and fall of TB rates can not be achieved by a single drug. And it can't be a prerequisite to call a drug revolutionary. However, I agree to your suggestions of minimizing adjectives and have removed the word "revolutionary" attached with Bedaquiline.

2) Regarding moving out of draft myself- I am unaware of the Good Practices regarding this regard. Can you kindly suggest me, what should be the ideal way? You can consider me novice in this regard. I just followed the links in the draft page. Thanks for guiding me. It is indeed a desirable learning experience.Drsayantanb (talk) 03:15, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Naltrexone

Extended content

Those sources I added for naltrexone are fully registered charities which have to comply with US and UK laws, so they are reliable sources. Other health-related charitable organisations are used on Wikipedia as sources, for example Alcoholics Anonymous, Moderation Management and SMART Recovery (which even have their own pages). The other link I added was to a TEDx Talk which, as your username suggests and profile claims you have strong connections to academia, you should be aware has a very high degree of credibility and are used in academic institutions. Alcoholics Anonymous page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholics_Anonymous Moderation Management page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moderation_Management SMART Recovery page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_Recovery Alcoholics Anonymous is referred to on five separate occasions on the alcoholism page alone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholism and is used as a direct reference twice. As registered charities, the C3 Foundation and C3 Foundation Europe have to comply to exactly the same requirements and regulations as Alcoholics Anonymous and SMART Recovery. There is no good reason for Alcoholics Anonymous, Moderation Management and SMART Recovery to have their own pages on Wikipedia and for them to be used as sources on medical-related pages and for C3 Foundation and C3 Foundation Europe to be barred. This is biased editing as The Sinclair Method is a medically tested, with strong evidence of efficacy, treatment option for alcohol use disorder and is, with the exception of Moderation Management, a clear favouring of the abstinence model. I am quite happy to create a The Sinclair Method page on Wikipedia but advocacy groups like C3 Foundation and C3 Foundation Europe should be included on such a page as they have no less validity than Alcoholics Anonymous, Moderation Management and SMART Recovery. It also warrants statement that both C3 Foundation and C3 Foundation Europe are national organisations as they are answerable to US and UK national legislation. Also, I do not think it is correct that you edit medical pages using the name "Doc James" as this is clearly an attempt to appropriate a level of credibility which until you make publicly available, in a verifiable format, your qualifications and medical registration is misleading at best. You may or may not favour an abstinence model but the information I added was not misleading, had verifiable and trustworthy sources and Wikipedia should not be used for biased editing by someone calling themselves a Doctor but providing no verifiable proof that they have the right to claim this status. I am prepared to provide you with reasonable time to respond but failure to provide a response or a continuation of the same bias will result in my pursuing this case further with official Wikipedia representatives. I would also like to receive an explanation of the validity of your username as this is of particular concern to me and I will certainly be registering my concern with Wikipedia directly should a valid explanation not be provided. I am aware that you claim on your user profile to be medically qualified but claiming this status does not qualify as proof.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kodasnap (talk • contribs) 17:02, 24 April 2019 (UTC) Please read and follow WP:MEDRS. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:49, 24 April 2019 (UTC) Can you explain to me why Alcoholics Anonymous, SMART Recovery and Moderation Management are considered reliable sources but the C3 Foundation is not or why The Sinclair Method is not deemed to be worthy of its own page? I have already asked you this but you have deliberately avoided answering it. Also, to add to the list of questions, could you please explain why, despite you stating you are an Associate Professor with the University of British Columbia there is no record whatsoever of you on their staff search facility and why you do not appear when performing a search for doctors called James Heilman (the only one appearing being based in Seattle and not bearing any resemblance to you - I stand corrected, there is another, in Cincinnati, also in the United States of America, not Canada)? I presume you do know that claiming to be a physician and not actually being one in certain circumstances is a criminal offence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kodasnap (talk • contribs) 19:15, 24 April 2019 (UTC) Just because Wikipedia currently uses some less than ideal sources does not mean we should be adding more of them. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:18, 24 April 2019 (UTC) So if you consider Alcoholics Anonymous, SMART Recovery and Moderation Management to be less than ideal sources, why haven't you removed them also? They are registered charities so, as I have already stated, have to comply with legal regulations. This gives them an authority. Removing some of what you consider to be unreliable sources but leaving others intact is partisan. I have emailed the University of British Columbia to inform them of the potential issue on their website - you're welcome! I am also in process of emailing Wikipedia to tell them of the issue with their site - again, no need to thank me. Can you answer the questions I have posed you please because at this stage it would appear you are being economical with the truth regarding your stance.

Deletion

I moved Fei Xu (psychologist) to Fei Xu before checking the deletion log, only to find that you had a good reason to delete the page. Although the subject is notable, I thought I should let you know that it has been recreated with the same text. Vycl1994 (talk) 16:26, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

User:Vycl1994 Thanks deleted, blocked, and salted. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:05, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
