I've recently got done with reverting a large amount of promotional editing relating to private cord blood banks across several articles, from a couple of single-purpose IP editors. These edits included non- WP:MEDRS sourcing, namedropping of particular companies, and cherry-picking quotes from various bodies to misrepresent their support for cord blood treatments. Here's a list of articles I found problems with:
I think it is very likely that this is undisclosed paid editing. Please consider putting the affected articles on your watchlist to keep an eye out for more promo. - MrOllie ( talk) 16:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
After expanding Gustatory hyperhidrosis I'm starting to notice that most of the classification systems seem to list it as a synonym for Frey's syndrome. Before i make a redirect can anyone else find a clear distinction between the two.

Hi - this article seems to have attracted a number of dubious claims / sources. I tried to delete a number of unreliable sources, but I think this article needs some serious editing to make sure statements are backed up by WP:MEDRS-worthy sources, which definitely isn't the case now. Thank you! GnocchiFan ( talk) 21:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

The Cass Review is an important and much anticipated "independent review of gender identity services for children and young people" led by Hilary Cass, which was commissioned by NHS England in 2020 and is due to report tomorrow (10th April 2024). It is likely to generate a lot of news coverage, but hopefully also some professional responses too. The Wikipedia article was only created yesterday by User:Void if removed so likely isn't on many watchlists. It would be good if editors here could help over the coming days. Thanks. -- Colin° Talk 13:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I'm currently updating the page Chronic functional abdominal pain and I have questions about the article title.
The ICD11 lists it as functional abdominal pain syndrome. [3] However several article discuss renaming it to Centrally mediated abdominal pain syndrome. [4]
I'm just wondering what name would be more appropriate here. CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath ( talk) 23:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

warrant more discussion. I don't have time to come back to it yet, but perhaps others will do. Aside, I don't think the issue "How do we welcome new medical editors?" has been completely resolved. Thanks. -- Dustfreeworld ( talk) 05:03, 13 April 2024 (UTC); 13:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi all
A major review into trans healthcare, the Cass Review, has been published in the UK, I'd really appreciate if people with an understanding of medical research could read it, its currently a very edited article with quite high traffic. To put it mildly the report is being used by politicians and press to push for restrictions to healthcare provisions. The report has been criticised by academics and trans groups in the UK for issues with both its research methodology and its recommendations, but I don't have experience in writing about this kind of thing on Wikipedia.
Thanks

There seems to be a debate over medical wording over at Talk:Death from laughter#"atonia" - link is broken, and word meaning?. Thought members of this WikiProject might be interested in this discussion, as I don't know how to rephrase the sentence to be clearer to the reader. – GnocchiFan ( talk) 09:55, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I hope this is the right venue for this feedback. I have chronic medical problems that were slowly destroying my life, and none of my doctors could figure out what was going on or what to do about it. I have now identified some of my conditions and found treatments that help a great deal, and my doctors and I are working to understand my illness more clearly and improve my symptoms further. I finally get to start living a real life again, and I couldn't have done it without the tireless efforts of WikiProject Medicine contributors. I will be grateful forever, please keep up the great work. 174.21.188.119 ( talk) 23:16, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
I recently reverted some major changes to trodusquemine that a new editor made to this article because I thought that they were one-sided. Another editor has now restored those changes. I notice that there seems to be a history of conflict of interest problems and sockpuppetry associated with the article and that the most recent editor's username matches the last name of the lead author of newly added references. So maybe some more experienced editors can have a look? Thank you. Reba16 ( talk) 01:10, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
There is a request to add the Verywell Health page "Myolysis: Everything You Need to Know" (https://www.verywellhealth.com/myolysis-5189197) to the spam whitelist so that it can be cited in the Myolysis article. Verywell Health ( RSP entry) was previously added to the spam blacklist in 2018 because links to Verywell sites had been spammed on Wikipedia. If this whitelisting request is successful, it would be possible for editors to link to this specific page on Wikipedia again.
The whitelisting request proposes citing "Myolysis: Everything You Need to Know" as a tertiary source to augment citations of two other sources that Verywell Health cites and summarizes, "Uterine Fibroids" (New York State Department of Health) and "Uterine Fibroids" (Brigham and Women's Hospital). I'd like to confirm whether this is an appropriate use of Verywell Health per WP:MEDPOP ("One possibility is to cite a higher-quality source along with a more-accessible popular source.") before adding the article to the spam whitelist.
Please join the discussion at WT:SWL § "Myolysis: Everything You Need to Know" to share your input. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 05:04, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
I am creating a page for a biopharmaceutical company (no relation), and am currently looking for products that they have been doing clinical trials on so I can list them as products that are currently in their product pipeline.
However, there is one article I have found right now for which the responsibility for clinical trials on a drug has been transferred to another company (although there are probably more that I will have to find).
When I list the drugs currently in the product pipeline for that company, should I omit those being run through clinical trials under another company (where the clinical trials was originally being run under said company), even with conflicting info on Wikipedia?
