Contrast agent? Bowel prep?
Subject: Contrast agent? Bowel prep?
Can't find "UltraLite" online pertaining to contrast agent, but the context of the word is making me think along those lines. Possibly a bowel prep?

follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
Subject: follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
I prefer to hyphen follow-up when used as a noun or adjective.
example: She will return in 3 weeks for follow-up (or followup). She will return in 3 weeks for a follow-up visit (used as adjective here).
She will follow up in 3 months (used as verb)
Follow-up, follow up, followup all correct
Subject: Follow-up, follow up, followup all correct
I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow.
I need to follow up with my doctor.
I am scheduled for followup later this month.
follow up if used as a verb and follow-up as a noun. SM
Subject: follow up if used as a verb and follow-up as a noun. SM
For Example:
The patient will follow up in my office.
The patient will be seen for follow-up in my office.
My understanding has always been that follow-up and followup were the same. It was more of a personal preference whether you used the hyphen or used one word; however follow up is always used when used as a verb.
She will follow up with me(v)/will be seen in followup(n); will have a follow-up visit (adj)
Subject: She will follow up with me(v)/will be seen in followup(n); will have a follow-up visit (adj)

A doctor can follow up with a patient during a follow-up visit (note that the adjectival form requires a hyphen). Neither phrase should be turned into a single hyphenless word.

Subject: follow up v follow-up v followup
If you can use the word "the" directly in front of the words "follow up", then it needs to be one word. That is the "official" note from my QA. Have a great day.

Ok,, been at this for years,, I think i have it finally and then a QA will correct followup, follow up, or follow-up. I have read and reread the explanation in all the books.. I am looking for someone to "splain to me in english Lucy". I know will follow up is correct,, he has a follow-up appointment, but I seem to get messed up with followup versus follow up. I know the verb and none definition but it does not soak in... HELP

I often type IQ scores in which the patient ends up having low-average intelligence or above-average intelligence and always hyphenate these because they ARE compound adjectives ("above" modifies "average"), used TOGETHER to modify "intelligence," whereas, presumably, "small" and "moderate," as stated, are one OR the other (or even somewhere in between)!
I know, it's exhausting.

low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media,
Subject: low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media,
Cardiac catheterization is a relatively safe procedure but has a well-defined risk of morbidity and mortality. The potential risk of major complications during cardiac catheterization may be difficult to ascertain because of the confounding aspects of comorbid disease and disparities in methods used to collect complication data.
The use of low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media, lower profile diagnostic catheters, reduced anticoagulation, and extensive operator experience all serve to reduce the incidence of complications further.
