Talk:Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis

Opening heading

This is a decidedly outdated reference to calcium deposition in the periphery beholden to a number of pathologic conditions now more completely understood. I would suggest a start in merging this article with a more recent reference such as Calcium Scoring. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbeben (talk • contribs) 23:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Monckeberg's Sclerosis is a well recognised, if somewhat contentious, pathological condition. I don't think merging with articles related to calcium scoring or calcification would be appropriate. I will try and expand and improve the article. There also seems to be nothing on vascular calcification on Wikipedia in any case. This seems an omission which I'll have a go at rectifying at some point Adh (talk) 14:26, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I have extensively updated this page. I wonder whether it should be renamed. I would welcome guidance on whether the preferred spelling should be Mönckeberg's, Moenckeberg's or Monckeberg's. I think the use of the term sclerosis (as opposed to arteriosclerosis) should be uncontentious as the former is much more widely used, although the latter is not incorrect and I have preserved it in the text.

Thanks to those who contributed to the discussion on naming below. In view of the consensus I have used Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis throughout for consistency, except for the alternative names in the introductory section. Adh (talk) 21:13, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis → Mönckeberg's Sclerosis – This condition is most commonly known as Mönckeberg Sclerosis. The ö is correct but not used invariably and I would like some guidance as to protocol for this. The substitution of sclerosis for arteriosclerosis should be uncontentious as the former is much more widely used in the medical literature, although the latter is not incorrect and I have preserved it in the text.

• Oppose – no rationale is given for capitalizing Sclerosis, and no good rationale for the umlaut, both of which are contrary to typical English sources. Dicklyon (talk) 06:03, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
• Remove the umlaut since it isn't used always, there's no reason to use it. 70.24.251.71 (talk) 07:57, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
