Talk:Obesity hypoventilation syndrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, the average man is not going to be able to understand this stuff! Perhaps someone should tone it down from it being a reference text for nuerologists, to something the average human being can understand?? --211.28.125.210 07:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

It also gives almost no information on the management of the condition. This is a 2001 review we could use to make it a more useful resource. With obesity becoming a major public health problem, we are already seeing a lot of this. JFW | T@lk 07:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, the Chest paper is a research paper. Instead, I thought doi:10.1016/j.amjmed.2005.03.042 would be useful for an eventual update of this article. JFW | T@lk 08:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

And there's doi:10.1378/chest.07-0027, which isn't free yet. JFW | T@lk 08:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More recent

PMID 17934118 is a very recent review. Unfortunately this is not available free, and I am therefore working from Olson et al in updating this article. JFW | T@lk 10:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Bizarrely, PubMed doesn't list Burwell as the first author of the 1956 Am J Med paper, even though every citation of it and the 1994 reproduction do so. Anyone have an explanation? JFW | T@lk 11:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
