Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

  1. Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
  2. We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources.
  3. Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS; for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see the WP:MEDDEF section.) High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please beware of predatory publishers – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
  4. The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
  5. We don't use terms like "currently", "recently," "now", or "today". See WP:RELTIME.
  6. More generally see WP:MEDHOW, which gives great tips for editing about health -- for example, it provides a way to format citations quickly and easily
  7. Citation details are important:
    • Be sure cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books
    • Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article, and please format citations consistently within an article.
    • Do not use URLs from your university library that have "proxy" in them: the rest of the world cannot see them.
    • Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
  8. We use very few capital letters (see WP:MOSCAPS) and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
  9. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities. Avoid overlinking!\
  10. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
  11. Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

References

[edit]
Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
  2. Then click on "templates",
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
  4. If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:44, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What does this have to do with trazodone?

[edit]

Insomnia has been association with sleep-related disordered breathing.[1]

The full text of this https://journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-3692(10)60302-9/fulltext does not mention trazadone. Refs should generally at least mention the topic they are about. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:59, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To: Doc James

Why does it matter if these sources do not directly mention trazodone?

The paragraph I wrote was added to Trazodon'e section on insomnia to illustrate that a significant portion of those with chronic insomnia have disordered breathing as a causative factor for their insomnia. That first sentence then ties into the second, and third, and so on, to illustrate the interactions observed in individuals with insomnia being treated with trazodone. A lot of the 'side effects' in sleep medications are symptoms found in patients with disordered breathing and observed to resolve when the disordered breathing is treated. The psychiatric fields negligence in attending to the role non-hypoxic respiratory events has upon sleep fragmentation and alterations in sleep architecture has lead to a paucity of research directly evaluating the impact psychoactive medications have on sleep quality.

I am not sure why you are taking one sentence out of context like this. Nor of what benefit such behavior is to the integrity of the information on wikipedia. Here is the full paragraph:

Insomnia has a known association with sleep-related disordered breathing. [5][6][7][8][9]. "In our clinical practice and research experience, approximately 80% of patients reporting insomnia for >6 months also have SDB."[10] Autonomic dysfunction has been observed to occur in individuals with sleep-related disordered breathing: "Our data demonstrate, for the first time, that some subjects with UARS have low resting arterial BP, OI, and orthostatic hypotension (OH)."[11][12] Orthostatic hypotension is a known side effect of Trazodone.[13] "Falling down as a result of fainting (syncope) is a common complication in people with orthostatic hypotension."[14]. Clinical findings show syncope can respond favorably to the treatment of sleep-related disordered breathing.[15][16].

While I could understand criticism of the above paragraph you also erased this section:

Studies in animal models indicate trazodone can "impair sleep-dependent brain plasticity".[17].]

It directly studies trazodone and one of it's negative impacts to sleep. Sleep issues being one of Trazodone's primary off-label uses, it is directly relevant. Many of the most important studies in sleep science are animal studies because doing them in humans would be unethical. A good example is David Gozals study on cancer in rodents to determine the mechanisms by which sleep fragmentation causes cancer to become more prevalent and aggressive. Another good example is Harvold's Monkey experiments. A third example are the studies in rodents regarding the ability of ketosis to protect from hypoxia and improve oxygen efficiency. I'm not sure why you edited out everything. It honestly seems as if you take a cursory glance before taking action, and that is rather antithetical to engaging in a scientific process or relying upon an evidence-based paradigm. I am honestly curious what it is you're trying to accomplish.
