Medecine Nouvelle

[edit]

Hmmm. Strange page. I doubt this has anything to do with cancer, and more with quacks :-) I would recommend removing the link, but I must admit my French is pretty rusty. JFW | T@lk 17:35, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind response.
When do you find time to sleep - my wife often asks me the same question :-) I find working on Wikipedia mentally stimulating. I started during a period of unemployment, just after I'd sat a major medical exam MRCP part 1. I found it great to channel all that otherwise forgotten information into Wikipedia.

Aspirin

[edit]

In the section of Aspirin under cancer research, could you please add a more specific link at the end of your paragraph? The original colon paragraph I wrote listed the epidemiological studies (and the links are specific if someone wanted to read for instance who did the study and how, how many people, results, etc) and your new information is talking about empirical studies. For instance, could there be a footnote link for at least one of the 4 human studies and at least one (most significant) rat or mouse study? The chemo-site has a lot of info, but where would a reader go if they only wanted to read about specifically the four human volunteer studies (or wanted to know if there was more than 10 volunteers, for example)? At the end of the paragraph there could be a sentence saying something like, more info on similar studies can be found here (chemo-site link). Gaviidae 19:13, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gaviidae, I've seen your post, and will work on the Aspirin page when I have some time: this week-end likely Corpet 10:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Gaviidae, I've attempted to edit the Aspirin & CRC prevention, following your advices. I am not very happy of the style: would you be so kind to re-edit it, please? The double link to "Chemoprevention database" is heavy, but it does not refer to the same page, and, as you told me, people may have difficulties to specifically find the "aspirin" data in the database.

If you look, you'll see what I did with the Baron study (28 Feb). I did a pub-med style reference. Ideally, we'd have a pub-med of one or maybe two of the best rat/mouse studies. I think somewhere I saw that you've published. You can see the format I used if you go to edit. However, my edit did take away some of your earlier information-- I think a pub-med ref can re-add it without looking too clunky-- as you can see, if we use a published study of yours, then the only external link will be one to your main database -- the studies will be cute little ref-numbers (clicking on one takes you to the bottom of the page where all the studies are listed. Clicking on the pub med link takes the reader to the actual study).
Also, when rat/mouse studies are listed, I think (after reading only one of them) that the main article text must say WHEN the aspirin worked. It seems in the case of the rats it was more preventative, and seemed to have the most effect "from before birth up to weaning" (a long-term preventative, working less on adults).
And, there is no problem with double linking if they actually go to different pages. Another wikipedian to ask for further info is Dr Ruben. He's the one who showed me how to make cool <refs>. Cheers, Gaviidae 14:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
