False information about treatment
edit"There is no good evidence for the use of cranberry products for treating current infections."
This is blatantly false. The sources are outdated. Recent studies have proven that cranberry juice is effective. Here are two recent sources:

- Hey, thanks for providing high quality sources on this. Someone else already changed it a bit, and I've used your sources and a couple others to expand that section some more as well. Kudos Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 01:04, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
March 2025 FDA Approval for new class of antibiotic - correction location the page?
editHi, I just made an edit about recent FDA approval of new class of antibiotics called triazaacenaphthylenes. I am not sure I made it in the correct section. Please move if there is a better place it should go. Evathedutch (talk) 14:32, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. It is appropriately placed. Graham Beards (talk) 16:05, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
Improving top-importance medicine articles: Join the Vital Signs campaign 2026
editThe goal of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to bring all 101 top-importance articles—including this one—up to at least B-class quality. Many of these articles are widely read but overdue for review, so even small improvements can have a big impact.
If you watch or edit this article, your help would be very welcome. You can:
- Add yourself as a participant
- Note the state of the article in the Progress table (is the current class still correct?)
- Update the article based on recent clinical guidelines and review papers
- Help address gaps, improve clarity for a broad audience, or improve image selection
To reach B class, articles should have: suitable referencing, reasonable coverage, a clear structure, good prose, helpful illustrations, and be understandable to a broad audience. Contributions of any size are appreciated. Femke (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
