Mass affect on brain or mass effect on brain?

Leuden affect / luden affect

Hi.  I am doing the H&P portion of a dictation and it states that the "Leuden affect is appropriate".  Has anyone ever heard of this? Leuden or Luden.  Thanks for the help!!

Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone!
put your mouse on the bar, hold down the left side of your mouse and move it back to the bottom, let
hope this works

I better switch my computer chair for a potty chair. nm
 
What I SAID was, "...there is NO WAY that can't have any affect...," and I ...

stand by that.  Sure, an MT under the influence may get it right, but I certainly would never want to take a chance on that. 


It's all about resposibility and realizing the critical nature of medical transcription.  As an MTSO, I would not want an MT drinking while working.  Period. 


If I hired someone and found out they drank while working, they would be out the door. 


 


it would be affect as in...
Rheumatic fever can affect the heart.

Your sentence would be:
Further bleeding, Per Dr. ___, will affect a hyerectomy.
affect v. effect
Effect is noun in the instance noted. Affect is a verb most of the time. Anything else?
Affect/effect
Affect can be a noun in psych - patient having a "flat affect" - no expression. Effect usually is used as an action word and in this case it is effecting a response or a cause.
effect or affect?

Here is a rule of thumb my boss taught me: 


Affect - (a verb) "to change or alter".


Effect - ( a noun) "a result".


You will very rarely use "affect" in the context of a sentence, but it will come into play every once in a while.


what makes you think it will affect us?

affect/effect

Affect can also be a noun, as in "patient's affect", effect can also be a verb as in "to effect a result".


 



your affect has an effect.
Does this person think that English usage doesn't matter in MT work?  Some of the worst medical errors got that way by misuse of plain English words.
Affect/Effect
Effect is not always a noun, and affect is not always a verb. When you "effect" a change, effect becomes a verb. When someone has a flat "affect," affect becomes a noun.
Affect vs. effect

Hopefully this will help, although I guess everything is subject to interpretation: 


AFFECT is a verb meaning "to influence" or "to pretend or imitate".  EFFECT can be a noun OR a verb.  As a noun, it means "result".  As a verb it means "to produce a result". 


In your particular sentence, it is being used as a verb...so which one to pick?


Without knowing the rest of the record, I would have to go with "effect" because I'm guessing (again..limited knowledge) that the doctor is indicating that if the bleeding doesn't stop, he has to do a hysterectomy.  If the hysterectomy has already been done, or it is planned, than surely, further bleeding could "affect" the planned surgery or something that happened during the hysterectomy.


Without more information, it's a crap shoot!... I'm sure that was as clear as mud.

affect/effect
To clarify affect/effect, here is what a friend said:(emphasizing the first syllable and pronouncing it with a "long E"):

"I affect the Effect"

This really helped me.
Mood and affect are normal

Further bleeding per Dr. **** will affect a hysterectomy.

EXACTLY - it'll never affect me mentality.
I signed, sent to everyone I know and asked them to send it to everyone they knew.  Start believing we can make a difference. 
I believe the goings on in the industry affect us as MTs?

It will not affect MT's. I think the limit is 250GB and
the tech people with my company says an MT uses around 2GB/month.  Even if that is a conservative figure, still leaves you a lot of GB. 
Does anyone know anything about the new EMR system? and how it will affect MT's work? nm

Affect is a verb, Effect is a noun, DUH

Affect is a verb and Effect is a noun, DUH nm

Definately affect/effect! Hate those!

Keyboard and mouse. Is there such a thing as a keyboard that has a mouse on the actual keyboard?

again, making medical record digital does not affect us.

Affect is an Action (or psych state)..Effect is a rEaction

System restore does not affect documents, only program files.
You will not lose any documents you've created. Restore does nothing to the normal.dot or other templates.

I've worked for svl places that said to change it back to 100% before sending, so it must affect

It's the drugs
x
drugs.com
I almost always use drugs.com for almost every drug need.  It's the best site I have found, but otherwise, I prefer Stedman's Quick Look, but let's face it, by the time these books are printed, there are another 100 drugs out there.  Can't keep up fast enough with them. So the web site is the best. 
Drugs@FDA
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/

You can search for any 3 consecutive letters and pull up a list of all drug names containing those 3 consecutive letters.
drugs.com
I use this site because you can put in a part of the drug name, and it gives you a list of drugs that contain that letter combination. So if you can only hear the middle part of a drug, it gets a little easier to narrow it down.
try drugs.com (nm)
x
drugs.com
The problem I have with this site is that there are many generic drugs that are listed with a capped first letter. It is hard to tell which drugs are brand name and which are generic when using drugs.com.

If you are typing the drug name in a paragraph and it is generic, the first letter is not to be capitalized so it is important to be able to find out if the drug is brand or generic.
Drugs.com... just for MTs... sm
Drugs.com lets you type in just a few letters and provides choices. Also, from the homepage on the right, there is a link to drug search just for MTs. It lets you do a wildcard search. I.e., audio is garbled and you hear t-max, you could type in t*max, and it would provide all drug choices. It also has a 'sounds like' search which is most excellent. You can also search for drugs by condition. This site hasn't let me down yet. Best part, it's completely up to date, and free.
Drugs!! Works for me!
Seriously. I actually was a big procrastinator, and really suffering for years from lack of motivation. Turns out I have ADD, and have been on meds for a few months now.  Actually tripled - TRIPLED my income in these few months. Everything is just focused and easy and I am so productive, its scary...Maybe you have adult ADD. Supposedly millions do...I used to be a skeptic, but I'm a believer now!
New generic drugs.
New generic name for viagra......................micoxafloppin.  Next.. please add.
Oh, yes! Illegal drugs are fun!
I never even did drugs when I was a stupid teenager.
Anyone know where I can get a list of new drugs
nm
generic drugs
I type drugs that are capped or have capital letters anywhere in them into autocorrect. Then I just type the drug just like it is generic, then autocorrect "corrects" it.
did in the past but does not do drugs...sm
I wish he'd come in here and sue your arse...for that post
She could even be on drugs. Keep distance.
She might think you are where she would like to be and wants to impress you in her little mind and little world.
www.drugs.com.... don't care much for
rxlist.com....never helped me any
Try *sartan*. It will come up with drugs ...
that contain those letters in any part of the word. I don't think you can just do an ending but you can quickly go through the list it does give you.
