Re: TERMS: German>English, stroke/pneumonia/cardiac patient

[Guest guest]

Here are some of the terms (in brackets):

1. Physical examination findings: patient awake, disoriented, in poor overall

and nutritional condition (1.64 m, 60 kg). *** Cor: = heart? *** - [correct]

irregular

action, no peripheral oedema. Lungs: *** VA *** [Vesikulaeratmen - vesicular

respiration] bilaterally, sonorous *** KS - [Klopfschall - percussion sound]

***. Abdomen: Hepar 5 cm in MCL [Mediklavikularlinie], no *** DS -

[Druckschmerz - pain to pressure] = tenderness? ***, regular

peristalsis.

2. Reduced transparency of the Rt ** UF = lobe??? *** - compatible with ***

dyselectasis *** - [Atelektase??]my problem with the last term is that Google

can't find it.

3. History: *** AKE *** (bioprosthesis).

4. Pronounced *** sucus *** relief (none found via Google).

5. ventricular *** erregungsausbreitungsstoerung = excitation propagation

disorder? *** following AKE.

6. Two known regurgitation jets (centrally and marginally between

non-coronary and Rt-coronary *** segel ***) -[Klappensegel?]

7. With known indication of Enterococcus in the *** BK ***, the finding would

be compatible with prosthetic endocarditis.

8. No indication of *** flottierenden *** structures and vegetationssss at

the cardiac valves.

9. Recommendation: monitor *** TEE *** -[transesophageal echocardiography].

In the Lt cardiac *** ohr *** - [auriculum of the atrium?]

distinct spontaneous contrast.

10. ... longer-term confusional states *** i.S. *** a *** Durchgangssyndrom -

[transotory psychotic syndrome]

***

11. Rt-cerebral, most probably embolic stroke 31.03. with good clinical ***

rueckbildungstendentz *** - [tendency to regression]I would tend to say

'recovery trend', but my

dictionary insists that rueckbildung=degeneration.

12. Torsion scoliosis of the *** BWS = ??? spine *** [brustwirbelsaeule]-

it's not lumbar or

dorsal, is it? That would be RWS, LWS, I think. [LWS = Lendenwirbelsaeule]

13. x-ray of the anterior feet bilaterally *** a.p. ***

[anterior-posterior]of 1.1.2003

14. There is significant impairment of cognitive *** Umstellfaehigkeit ***

[e.g., ability to accept changes]

15. The *** Verarbeitung *** of the disease is now adequate - I assume it's

treatment, but then why not Therapie? It's probably not stabilisation or

management, or is it? [Verarbeitung means accepting the disease by thinking

or talking about it]

16. The patient can climb 20 steps in *** Nachstellschritt *** - backwards?

one step at a time?

17. The offered aids (toilet and bath grip) were not *** abgefordert *** by

the patient - just ideas for wording this. [typo? angefordert?]

18. Prof XYZ, *** komm. *** Chefarzt.

Hi .

--------- From: Lotsofwordz@... [21/08/2003] ---------

> *** VA *** bilaterally, sonorous *

Vesikuläratmen

>*** DS = tenderness? ***

Druckschmerz

>2. Reduced transparency of the Rt ** UF = lobe???

Unterfeld

>dyselectasis ***

The term " atelectasis " means " Failure of full expansion of the lung; the

word comes from the Greek a-(without) + telos (complete) + rectasis

(expansion) = without complete expansion. "

I have never heard dyselectasis, but maybe it is meant a generic

alteration of lung expansion.

>3. History: *** AKE *** (bioprosthesis).

Aortenklappenersatz

>7. With known indication of Enterococcus in the *** BK ***, the finding

>would

>be compatible with prosthetic endocarditis.

Befundkontrolle (?)

Bakterienkonzentration (?)

>8. No indication of *** flottierenden *** structures and vegetationssss

>at

>the cardiac valves.

floating, fluctuating (many bacteria create vegetations on the cardiac

valves that are visible as fluctuating bodies on the echocardiography)

>9. Recommendation: monitor *** TEE ***.

transösophageale Echokardiografie

>In the Lt cardiac *** ohr *** -

auricola, atrium (?)

tendency (attitude) towards regression

Brustwirbelsäule (dorsal)

Dear ,

too late, as ever:

4. sucus is latin for fluid, juice

10. i. S. = im Sinne

Longer term confusional states *in the sense of/corresponding to a transitory

pychotic syndrome

11. good clinical Rückbildungstendenz (~back-formation)

Rückbildungstendenz can translate as regresssion or as atrophy or as

degeneration depending on the context as in, for instance: 'spontaneous

regression of

tumour'

it could also be translated by recovery, depending on the context,

particularly here where it is preceded by 'good clinical'

14. Umstellfähigkeit = ability to adapt (umstellen: to switch, to change, to

adapt)

16. Nachstellschritt = the patient climbs the stairs one step at a time with

both his/her feet, putting the second foot beside the first foot (nachstellen)

on the following step

Dear ,

3. History: AKE, could this be an allergisches Kontaktekzem to the

biophrothesis??

and the sucus relief refer to some kind of drainage of fluid for relief?

Regards

Barbara

Thanks, Barbara. The job is OTD.

AKE = aortal valve replacement.
