Re: DE>EN - a few medical terms

[Guest guest]

1. 'Diagnose: Varizenblutung li. Unterschenkel'

2. 'die Notwendigkeit einer Varizenbehandlung wurde besprochen'

What is 'Varizenblutung' and 'Varizenbehandlung'

3. Verlauf:

Der Patient wurde .................................. aufgenommen.

Im Verlauf zeigten sich keine Blutung sowie keine Schmerzen.

The word 'Verlauf' seems to be used in various ways in medical texts.

Does the word 'Outcome' suit the first use of 'Verlauf' here, where the

entire course of the treatment and the outcome is discussed?

Does 'during treatment' suit 'Im Verlauf' here?

4. ASS Pause, übrige Medikation weiter wie bisher.

What is ASS? I presume it is some sort of acid (Säure)

thanking you,

Shane,

> What is 'Varizenblutung' and 'Varizenbehandlung'

Probably a " bleeding varicose vein " or " bleeding varicosity "

> 3. Verlauf:

Perhaps " Hospital Course: "

> Im Verlauf zeigten sich keine Blutung sowie keine Schmerzen.

Maybe something along the lines of " during his hospital stay "

ASS should be " Acetylsalicylsäure " , or simply aspirin in English.

FWIW

Dear Shane,

It's " variceal hemorrhage " (or " bleeding " ), and " treatment of variceal

hemorrhage " (or " bleeding " )

[based upon Pshyrembel's German- and Dorland's English med. dict.s]

Hope it helped,

Hi Shane:

Varizen = varicose veins, varices

Varizenblutung = variceal hemorrhage

Verlauf = course, development (of disease or treatment)

ASS = ASA, aspirin

Best wishes, Ursula
