David H.P. Streeten

This person http://jcem.endojournals.org/content/86/2/471.full.pdf should be on the encyclopedia due to his achievements in Medicine including discovery of three new different medicial problems along with making other discoveries which have greatly helped the medical field. I havent got time myself to try to currently start up a page on him so just posting about him here in case anyone else wants to start one.

I did start listing some of his achievements etc (no where near a complete list yet) as a rough guide to start up a proper article later on.

David H.P. Streeten

Dr David Streeten (born ? ?, 19?? in Sth Africa) died ??? aged 78. He was a professor of medicine who made many important discoveries in his line of work, so is well known in some fields throu medical journals. He also is the author of medical books, at least one of these has become a classic. There are some fields of medicine which wouldnt be as they are today if it werent for him, he was recognised as being an international authority.

Achievements

Batchler of Science with distinction from University of Sth Africa
Gained M.B. and B.C.H from University of Witwatersrand (Johannesburg) with first class honours
Attended Oxford University in England and gained D Phil in Pharmacology
1953-1960 He was working at the University of Michigan at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute as an assistant professor of Medicine and an Investigator. The hormone aldosterone had been recently discovered and he developed a bioassay to show this. His assay was used on the first person in the world diagnosed with primary aldosteronism to which the cause was hypertension. (nowdays this is curable by removal of the adrenal tumor)
1960-1974 Working in New York as Professor of Medicine and Chief of Endocrinology at SUNY upstate Medical University till he retired. His speciality and research area was the study of BP disorders. He developed a simple outclinic procedure to diagnose and treat secondary forms of hypertension and for diagnosing primary aldosteronism. By recognising and treating their adrenal, renal and other mechanisms of the high BP gained on his own research, he cured 100s of patients which would of previously been incurable.

Throu his patients he discovered 3 new forms of secondary hypertension so is the discoverer of hyperthyriod hyertension, orthostatic hypertension and also primary epinephrinemia. These all respond best to treatments other then the standard non specific use of antihypertensives.

Charter member of the American Society of Hypertension
1998 Recieved Life time Achievement Award from the Heart Foundation for his work on High BP and for his many contributions.

Responded to your question

Responded to your question on my talkpage.[1] The usual procedure is to continue a conversation where it started unless it needs to go elsewhere, but since you are new I'm just posting a reminder here. Feel free to ask more questions if you need to, but often I may not be able to respond as quickly. - Tekaphor (TALK) 02:13, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS - Just saw your main userpage. You may want to remove the spaces at the beginning on each sentence. - Tekaphor (TALK) 02:16, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice. I didnt have any idea what that usual procedure was for replying back to people.

I struggle reading large amount of text and also with memory problems so are a having a hard time learning how wiki all works, I've been looking for someone to help me with learning how wiki all works (and being new, making mistakes).

ohhhhh thanks heaps for pointing out how my user page was looking, I wasnt aware I'd done that. I keep forgetting I cant have spaces. I'll fix it.

Hypertension

My "^[vague]" tag refers to the fact that the directly previous citation, "Lyndonville News 2 (5). September 2000.", does not include sufficient citation details. What specific article is being referred to? Who is its author? What publication does "Lyndonville News" refer to?

Actually, I've just googled "Lyndonville News", and thus can probably improve the citation myself now. But it's obviously preferable to just include full info from the start. --Cybercobra (talk) 05:55, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. There does not seem to be an Issue 5 within Volume 2...?! --Cybercobra (talk) 05:59, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explaining. I know the author is Dr David Bell (He's quite internationally known and well respected in the ME/CFS field. He sees this issue in a lot of his ME patients). He's worked with and done studies with Dr Streeten (the one who discovered it).

thanks. I'll have to look into that to see what's going on with that, maybe I've typed a number wrong. I got that reference from a site which had quoted him and hence provided the reference (its mentioned on a quite a few sites, some are offical state sites eg the official ME/CFS org of Sth Australia quotes him and references his article, so I copied the reference trusting it is right). --Taniaaust1 (talk) 10:01, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ive done a comment on the talk page of it about the reference thing. Cybercobra, if you know how book references are done would you mind giving me a reply there as that may be a better reference there??. sorry if im taking up your time. I posted about it on the main hypertension page, hoping some will realise this exists, then check out this page and possibly give a hand with it. (Much of the info Ive put on it Ive gotten from extracts so there is bound to be more info which could go onto it if people had subscriptions to be looking throu full medical articles). --Taniaaust1 (talk) 13:50, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption request

Hi Taniaaust1, I noticed your request for adoption. If you would still like to be adopted, can I suggest that you contact one of the editors on the list of adopters? As Wikipedia is a volunteer project and many adopters are busy, a more pro-active approach would mean that you are more likely to be noticed. If you've got any questions, feel free to leave me a message. Worm^TT · (talk) 14:04, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've deactivated the request for adoption userbox on your user page. If you're still interested in being adopted, please undo my edit or contact me on my talk page. Netalarm^talk 22:45, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice Worm. That's fine Netalarm, I havent been able to be here much of late. Taniaaust1 (talk) 08:09, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Taniaaust1Taniaaust1 (talk) 08:09, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
