User talk:Danielil

Hey folks. A sparse UserTalk page. I'm new to Wiki and happy to help with the knowledge base but bear in mind that I have little sophistication with WikiPolitics, WikiPolicing, or any of the technical aspects of the project. Dan Levy 12:27, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey doc!

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia and enjoy. We have a place where all the medically minded people hang out: WikiProject "Clinical Medicine". You are invited to join. There also subprojects such as Nephro and GI. Nephron  T|C 01:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandal fighting...

There is a quick way to revert-- see Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups.

There is a procedure for dealing with repeated vandals -- it is described in detail on the WP:Vandal page. Generally, as I understand it, the proper procedure is to give a warning -- see WP:Vandal#Warnings.

Thereafter, you can report 'em on the Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism page and an admin will usually quickly block 'em. You cannot block someone unless you are an admin.

Beyond that, you can click on the person's edit history (e.g. here is mine)-- to see if they have edited other articles; vandals frequently modify several articles. Nephron  T|C 22:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

nb "Help:Reverting" page is simple, too. Dan Levy 02:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

It is a pleasure to help. :) If you have any other questions-- feel free to ask. NOTE: you can indent passages by placing a colon (:) at the beginning of the line. With all the interest in electrolytes... are you a nephrologist par chance? Nephron  T|C 04:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, hey... the wikification was just to be clear. I'm all for the KISS principle and being clear --even if that means I come across as being pedantic. :) As for the interest in neprhology-- in some ways it is accidental. I wanted to do some research on technology in medicine and then found myself working with a nephrologist on home hemodialysis. Thereafter, making use of my engineering background, I gained some insight into the world of dialysis measurement (e.g. Kt/V, standarized Kt/V, URR etc.)... which has been fun and I'll hopefully be publishing on soon. The nephrology WikiProject... needs some life pumped into it-- if you have some suggestions... you can add 'em on the nephro talk page. Nephron  T|C 08:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Renal tubular acidosis

Hi Danieliralevy, When you have a moment-would you like to check out renal tubular acidosis? I've been polishing the article for a while now, and would like an expert's outside eye to see what changes need to be made before I think about nominating it as a good article. Cheers.FelixFelix ^talk 15:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I think the opening of the article could use some more discussion. Felix-felix and I have been going back and forth... and I think the article has been confused about the acidosis in RTA. I have the sense it is a misnomer. Any case, I left Felix-felix a long message about the back and forth... it's here. Nephron  T|C 17:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Userbox

Hello: I created a Userbox for the nephrology project. If there is strong feeling about changing the appearance, we can discuss that on the project talk page. The template is at: Template:User WikiProject Nephrology. To post it on your user page, paste {{User WikiProject Nephrology}} . —Gaff ^ταλκ 20:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

This user is a participant in the Nephrology task force

• Yeah...I was trying to tweak the sizing but not really getting anywhere. I may be able to use a copy of adobe photoshop to perform the adrenalectomy as you reccomend...—Gaff ^ταλκ 22:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay...adrenal has been removed. Resized and now it looks like its standardized.—Gaff ^ταλκ 23:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Mechanism for reduced CO2/alkalosis

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. (David E. Leaf and David S. Goldfarb, Mechanisms of action of acetazolamide in the prophylaxis and treatment of acute mountain sickness, pmid=17023566 doi=10.1152) - neeral - (talk) 08:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Danielil for your very nice note. Working on a liver article was quite fun for me as my expertise is primarily endoscopic. Best regards -- Samir 00:07, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

qxmd

Qxmd is one of a couple of sites that has been added to several articles by the site owner/developer. It is probably best not to include it. - MrOllie (talk) 16:41, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
