AB --- Abbreviations---please, for the benefit of those of us who are new,

[Guest guest]

could we please spell out, the first time something like UTI is used

in a post, what the abbreviation stands for? This is such a valuable

forum for people such as myself, who may have some limited

understanding of the scenario of LBD, but who can benefit greatly IF

we understand what is being talked about.

It's a funny thing to me how ubiquitous it is on these Yahoo groups

for members to use abbreviations. For my part I am befuddled enough

by " doctor talk " that uses abbreviations and doctorish words and

language without my imitating them by doing the same thing.

So now, what is UTI please?

Best wishes,

Elliot
