this is not true, the prefixes para- and pari-
Subject: this is not true, the prefixes para- and pari-
are not always inter-changeable.
For instance in this case it is paralabial, parilabial does not bring any results.

they dictated AV fistula? If so give 'em AV fistula
Subject: they dictated AV fistula? If so give 'em AV fistula
as far as post-end versus postend.....hyphens are used for clarity and in this case I would have used the hyphen.....because it is usually end-stage renal disease....I'd give 'em post-end
If your account is verbatim and they said AV fistula give them what they said. If you are allowed to expand, you could give them arteriovenous fistula.....

BOS under prefixes says to omit the hyphen in most re- words. But..sm
Subject: BOS under prefixes says to omit the hyphen in most re- words. But..sm
say to use re-cover (to cover again not recover from surgery) and re-create (not recreate, meaning to play). Or use it if the resulting word will be awkward as in re-x-rayed or re-emphasize or re-introduce. This is on page 330 of BOS II.
But even though it's in print, your QA may still disagree with you. :) nm

peri- means : Around, about or near. So peritesticular would be my guess.
para- means: A departure from the normal.
peri ischemia?

It sounds like the doctor is saying "coronary artery disease with an apical myocardial infarction and some mild peri ischemia in that area. I have not heard of peri ischemia before- has anyone run across this term?

Some brands specify Peri-Bottle, but I use the generic peri bottle, or I suppose peri-bottle. Just a squirt bottle for cleaning/soothing the perineum etc.

gravida/para
Subject: gravida/para
I think it makes sense if she is currently pregnant. Gravida 11 -- pregnant 11 times, then the 2-0-8-2 means she has had 2 live births/ 0 preterm births / 8 miscarriages / 2 living children.
Gravida/Para
Subject: Gravida/Para
All CP issues aside, I have always been told to not take it upon ourselves to abbreviate unless the dictator abbreviates. I wouldn't "zing" someone for it, but would probably correct it and put a comment.

I'm still a student, and I've been presented with the phrase "gravida 5, para 4-1-1-3, and asked if it "refers to 5 pregnancies resulting in 4 full-term deliveries plus 1 premature birth plus 1 abortion/miscarriage with 3 living children".
My belief is that 4 full-term, 1 premie, and 1 miscarriage should add up to gravida 6, making the above formula invalid. Is that an accurate assessment, or am I missing something?

G 5 P 4-1-1-3 actually means that this female was pregnant 5 times, gave 4 living births (not full-term), one of these 4 was a preterm baby, she had one abortion or still birth, and she has 3 living children.
I hope that I was of any help.

Do you type this as:
G2, P2-0-02, or
G 2 P 2-0-0-2?
I put a space in between the G/number and P/number. Am I doing this wrong? If we were typing out the words, we'd be typing gravida 2, para 2. Thoughts?
