carboplatin vs. carboplatinum
Subject: carboplatin vs. carboplatinum
Can I get some of your experiences with this? The doc clearly says "carboplatinum" for chemotherapy, but this is not in my drug book. I can only find carboplatin. When I google carboplatinum, I get some hits, but I don't trust google all that much. Any help would be appreciated.
carboplatinum or carboplatin?
Subject: carboplatinum or carboplatin?

there must be two openings in the nasal cavity. Ostium means opening. Meatus means opening also. So if it is as you say, then ostium (opening) meatal (opening) complex is what you are referring to. Plus that, there is no such word as ostio.
I was referring to the osteum (bone) and meatus (opening) or the osteomeatal complex of the nose.
