Re: VETUSTA !! Serbian/Latin > Eng: Graviditas ml IX/X

[Guest guest]

I think I found your " vetusta "

It is Latin : Primipara vetusta = older/elderly primipara = every woman

having her first child at 35 years or more.

if this might be the tail end of a phrase describing the wound closure method

(wings, flaps, tufts? it's a stretch). Elsewhere it indicates a low transverse

incision and double closure method. I'm usually pretty good at deciphering

handwriting and light text, but this is a case of inputted text overlapping with

preprinted material. I can't read either.

,

You are right! I can see the " ra " at the end of the illegible term. This would

not be primipara, as she is having a repeat C-section, but probably that

illegible word is --para, incidating the number of previous pregnancies and that

she is over 35. When I enlarge the document more, I see it may be secundipara. I

will put that in brackets to indicate I am not 100% sure.

Searching Google for primipara vetusta returned 5-6 hits in Croatian on the

first page. So the term is in use there.

There goes the idea that IX/X indicated the number of pregnancies, but that was

pretty farfetched.

I have messages out to two " experts " (one native-language lexicographer and one

Bosnian doctor), so I hope to have a definitive answer by tomorrow morning.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look this up.
