Bro ,
As you said read FA as novel, while waiting for the Dategrin , so do KME if read b4 .
Oh well just read any , or all of your HY , high light notes , Qs notes as novel .

God want you to get beyoud the 99 .......... as to 100 & highest 3 digits score as in history .

Go for it Bro, oh do not forget to do occsional way of laugh as you said b4 to get all the nerves out, but keep all the study in, do not let it out till your D day .
And STOP thinking , too deeply as I did in term of answering the Q. Put it that way , usmle only know superficial, they know nothing, anything in deepth of beauty of medicine.
But bro do as Roman do when you're in Rome to win the test . I am practiceing that Q answering tactic to control self , so far not there yet , near .

GL GL GL happy success study to us, all nod , inyour case I give your GL back from MT since you're calm now with GL for your the Dategrin & D day too nodnodnod

Hello NNL,

i have a Q if you dont mind,

at high altitude, after acclimatization,


"at a high altitude : hyperventilation : decreased PaCO2 : A lower-than-normal PaCO2 would shift the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left, thereby increasing the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen."

but on the other hand:

"in hypoxic conditions that last more that several hours the quantity of BPG in the blood increases considerably thus shifting the oxygen-hemoglobin curve even more to the right"

... What ????

Why cant these guys make up their minds? grin

sorry to interfere ..

the only scenario where the respiratory alkalosis is fully corrected is in people living at high altitudes.

Even though they hyperventilate and have alkalosis ..the ph is normal because of renal compensation ( HCO3 excretion) So the curve isnt shifted to the left. (Kaplan physio)

Sorry, it does shift to the left, Guyton 540, figure 43-2

please dont waste your time on it ( we can discuss it after your exam ) nod

U see this Phenomenon is Explained Best in Ganong and OTM.

The High Altitude Causes us To HYPERVENTIALTE leading to Respi Alkalosis. Shifting the Curve to LEFT. Now the pH is Changed the Its more Alkalic. 2,3-BPG is affected by pH. The Acidic pH inhibits RBC Glycolysis which leads to Dec conc, of 2,3-BPG And Vice Versa. Now if there is Alkalosis then the Concerntration of 2,3 BPG increases ( SHIFTING THE CURVE BACK TO RIGHT) and U have More O2 Available for Tissues. But the Effects of Hypoxia r not countered yet cos the Inc 2,3 BPG causes Dec Uptake of O2 by Hemoglobin in the Lungs. Then Erythropoeitin Gets Released and u have Inc RBC Mass.

I hope i have Made things Clear for U Just Keep ASking Questions Trust me there is no better way to learn things.

Wow grin , that was nice and clear, thanks alot. nod

Some thing else interesting i read too in Ganong was that the same cuvre during exercise does shift to the right at the tissues to give O2 (because of the increase in CO2 and temperatue) but the curve shifts back to the left in the lungs so the RBCs can recieve O2 more easily.

Good evening,

NNL, please, do you have an idea why patients with primary hyperaldosteronism (Conn's syndrome) dont develop edema?
