Request for science help re: gancyclovir[edit | edit source]

I'm wondering if any more scientifically knowledgeable folks can help me with Gancyclovir. It's one of many pages that have no references at all and probably I'm best equipped just to tag them for cleanup, but since the entry only contains two claims, I thought I could track down refs to verify them. Ha ha. I found these studies which (if I understand them correctly) make opposing claims about its effect on microglial: "The antiviral drug ganciclovir does not inhibit microglial proliferation and activation" (2015) versus "Antiviral drug ganciclovir is a potent inhibitor of microglial proliferation and neuroinflammation" (2014). Is anyone available to help either revise the page (if I'm correct that maybe these are conflicting results that require qualification on the page) or confirm for me that the latter ref (or some other ref?) suffices to verify the entry's current claim that gancyclovir "also reduces microglial activation." Thanks much. Canele (talk) 17:45, 15 April 2019 (EDT)

Broken citation template?[edit | edit source]
content hidden |
---|
Hi all. I'm suddenly having trouble using the "Cite web" template. In particular I'm trying to add https://www.rheumatology.org/I-Am-A/Patient-Caregiver/Diseases-Conditions/Polymyalgia-Rheumatica as the reference for all the material I've added so far to the Polymyalgia rheumatica page I just started. But both in Visual Editor and in source code editing, I can't get the "Cite web" template to populate as a reference--it doesn't work at all in VE now and when I try source code, it adds all the info to the prose of the entry, rather than creating a footnote. Anybody have an idea what might be going on? I've used this extensively before (just for one example, see the HIV/AIDS page) and those references remain properly formatted so I am really stumped. Thanks for any advice! Canele (talk) 15:21, July 5, 2019 (EDT)

Auto-signing section headers[edit | edit source]
