superior vena cava/pulmonary artery or arteries
I have a problem hearing if this is artery or arterIES(pleural). From my limited knowledge it would be artery, but does somebody know if a pulmonary homograft will connect the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery-- or it is arteries? Same with the Glenn shunt that goes from the superior vena cava to the pulmonary artery or arterIES? I cannot hear the doc clearly and it sounds like it might be arteries. thanks,

I can't find anything even when I separate it out like the OP said.  I would like to learn what this word means if somebody could help me out.  Should it be xanth with an h instead of just xant? Even trying that, I am still stuck.
correct forms
Subject: correct forms

Staph aureus (notice Staph is capitalized; a period is not necessary)

postop (no period)

When you have a 2-word bacteria name, the first word is capitalized generally. The second word is generally not capitalized.

A Stedman's manual for Infectious Disease words is quite useful for these words.

Klebsiella
Staphylococcus
Streptococcus
Escherichia coli

I could go on... But I won't because I'm tired and the Canadian is helping me feel no pain... ;)

use of bilateral with pleural forms
Subject: use of bilateral with pleural forms

That's always ben a puzzle to me too, but I think that either way might be acceptable. The qualifying adjective (bilateral) suggests an "augmentation" was performed on both sides, and more often than not, MDs will dictate singular nouns following bilateral. Sometimes, though, if it sounds strange, I will use the pleural, i.e., one of my docs says "bilateral lower extremity" which I change to extremities. Would be interested in further input or if AAMT has a directive on this.

Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's
Subject: Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's

AAMT says to drop the possessive form with eponymic terms such as Down syndrome, Tinel sign, Lachman sign, etc.  However, when used without "test" or "sign," do you add an 's.  i.e. "He has a negative Tinel's," or should it be "He has a negative Tinel."  Another one is Speed sign. It sounds wierd to put "He has a negative Speed."  Thanks so much!!
