The doc actually spells this for me-- telamet -- but I cannot verify through searches or my available books. Anyone?

T-U fusion or TU fusion. also, hypocalcemia, yes. see message
Subject: T-U fusion or TU fusion. also, hypocalcemia, yes. see message
found on line:
"On EKG, hypocalcemia may be signified by a lengthening of the ST segment and QT interval"
T-U fusion (from what I can find) is related to hypokalemia rather than hypocalcemia. Might take some searching?
"Other findings associated with hypokalemia include the following: The U wave and T wave merge in some cases to form a T-U wave which may be misdiagnosed as a prolonged QT interval."

Zimmer TM-100 cage used in back surgery
Subject: Zimmer TM-100 cage used in back surgery
I'm doing a report for placement of a Zimmer TM-100 ______foam cage at the C4-5 level. Neuro reports of this sort take me so long because I have such a hard time finding and documenting the instrumentation that they use! I've checked my reference books and googled, to no avail. I can't seem to figure out the first part of the 'foam' word for this cage. It sounds kinda' like zylofoam, tanofoam or tilofoam. Arghhhh!

Examination of her ear shows a large clot in her external auditory canal. I did flush her ear there. I removed a large clot that was __________ s/l small and (swollen-out-) bleeding from the spots where it adhered to the canal wall.
