Re: Two Italian abbreviations

[Guest guest]

FCV: capacità vitale forzata (the acronym is already

in English)

As for f.b.c. I didn't find anything at all, sorry!

Helen,

> FCV modicamente ingrandito in toto

Assuming that we're talking about the CXR findings here, something

along the lines of " ventricular shape and contour " comes to mind.

> Context:

> Obiettivita' all'ingresso:

> lieve emiparesi f.b.c. destra

Can't think of any expansion, so I'm again guessing from context:

Could they by any chance mean mild paresis that is more pronounced on

the right side?

FWIW

My Italian is next to non-existent, and it would help me to help you if you

translated all of the context except for the missing word. Context is

everything.

I'm guessing that f.b.c. might be an abbreviation for Italian words for face,

upper limb, lower limb? What's " lieve " ? And what does the next line say?

Hi Helen,

My Italian is next to nothing either. As to " f.b.c. " , I associate in

this context a transient " brachiofacial hemiparesis of the right

upper limb. This interpretation explains for " f " and " b " . A decent

explanation for " c " would be " cerebral " .

Just free floating thoughts,

Fritz

Thanks to everyone who replied on this subject, and for all your various

suggestions. I agree with about the probable meanings, but I was

really hoping for suggestions for the actual Italian words abbreviated,

to confirm what I suspect they mean. Of course I cannot be sure that

they are abbreviations of Italian rather than English words, or that

they don't contain errors (FCV/FVC), but thanks for all your

contributions.

I think it means slight paresis affecting the right side, but what I

would like to know is what the f.b.c stands for.

Many thanks for taking the time to think about this.
