Mechanism for reduced CO2/alkalosis

Neeral: I'm sure whether you'll see this page, so I'll also post on the acetazolamide talk page. I am not an expert in altitude sickness, I'm not sure that your explanation of how blood CO2 is reduced is correct. I believe that the major cause of alkalosis is not related to the decreased solubility of CO2, but rather the hypoxia-driven increased ventilation (respiratory alkalosis). Do you have any literature support for your assertion? D.I.L. (talk) 14:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC).

[Response also on Danielil's talk page] Danielil: I have also posted this on the acetazolamide talk page, and here as well. Thank you for clarifying that issue. I am not an expert by far on altitude sickness, and I apologize for confusion that I may have caused readers, and as such I have removed my contribution until I can straighten it out. I understand that the primary cause of alkalosis is the hypoxia-driven ventilation. I meant to suggest the CO2 out-gassing method for alkalosis as a minor contributing factor. I will actually research into this further and if necessary re-state the intended information to make logical sense. I was reading the following article and ended up posting incorrect assertations.

stubbing

Hi, When you're considering adding a {{stub}} tag to an article likePhosphoribosyl pyrophosphate, please (a) check carefully that it hasn't already got a specific stub tag (this one had) and (b) if adding a stub tag, add it at the end not the beginning (per WP:LAYOUT). Thanks. PamD (talk) 21:32, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

[Response also on PamD's talk page] Hello. First off, thank you. I did not notice the stub section at the bottom of Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate. I did not know the exact layout, so I put the stub section at the beginning as I have seen on other pages. But thank you for the kind correction and links. I've read pieces of the WP:LAYOUT page as of now, and will remember to refer to it before making additions/corrections. :) - ellusion - (talk) 00:32, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
