Talk:DeQuervain's syndrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In teno-synovitis the synovial membrane lining the tendon sheath is inflamed. In de Quervain's syndrome the sheath itself is inflamed, hence the different term of teno-vaginitis.--Anthony.bradbury 20:28, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

(Teno-vaginitis is NOT a correct term when applied to this disease. It would apply to a completely different part of the body. Therefore, I feel this term is in error. Rightly or wrongly, teno-synovitis is the commonly accepted term that is applied to this disease. -=-User:F.Civish) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 166.70.28.249 (talk) 21:39, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rewrites by 72.209.6.180

Today 72.209.6.180 has done massive edits to DeQuervain's syndrome article. Anonymous changed half the Pathology section (with references that I don't have time to check). Anonymous completely rewrote the Causes and Treatment sections (and with no references). Anonymous removed all the external links about Quervain's syndrome, removed the “Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue” template tag, removed the categories tags and removed the links to wikipedia's non-english articles about DeQuervain's syndrome. --EarthFurst 17:47, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Role of therapy

I think it's better to keep comments general and evidence-based. The role of any one health care provider should not be emphasized since most of the treatments for de Quervain's (e.g. splints) can be obtained at the pharmacy. Furthermore, claims for treatment efficacy should be more than bias, preference, or style--references to scientific data should be provided. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr311 (talk • contribs) 02:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

You may well be right, but I have nonetheless undone your edit, as you didn't provide any evidence for your claims. If you can find a web reference for what you say, and link to it in the article, feel free to change the article again. Dyinghappy (talk) 03:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peakcock term?

Is it necessary to describe sufferers of a disease as "blameless victims"?
