Ascites

Just dropping a note to explain why I removed your addition to ascites. The point on cytological examination of ascites is already basically made by the OTM source. The source you replaced it with was authored by yourself. It would normally be inadvisible to cite your own work; if there is no alternative, the article's talk page would be the right place to discuss this. JFW | T@lk 00:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Again, please avoid citing your own work, as per WP:COI. You have now done this on ascites and pleural effusion. If you can persuade other editors that your book is the standard work in the area then other editors will readd the citation. I'm sure you are acting in good faith.
