Subject: Here's the rest of the paragraph. I need someone to look at this.

This is listed under the PMH:  Do these numbers look right?  My question is really the


"FEF 25 to 75 1.66 (65%).  "  Does this look right?  not sure how to type the 75 1.66. ... MD says it like this:   


"FEF 25 to 75 one point six six and parentheseses 65%"

Pulmonary – status post pulmonary embolus, status post a prolonged road trip.  Coumadin was discontinued in April and  MTHFR Heterozygote  with an elevated homocysteine level
.       She has been maintained on Folate.  She has also been treated for asthma.  Pulmonary function tests in December of 2002 demonstrated a FEV1 of 1.86 (79%), and FVC of 2.41 (83%) an FEV1 of 77% and FEF 25 to 75 1.66 (65%).  In March of 2004, a diagnostic polysomnogram demonstrated obesity, hypoventilation; no evidence of obstructive sleep apnea.  She has been maintained on 2 liters q.h.s.  A repeat study in June of 2005 confirmed that treatment.

"The rest of his past history, review of systems, and social history is otherwise noncontributory, except that he is status post coronary artery bypass graft surgery and has had a pacemaker and is on Coumadin in conjunction with his cerebral vascular disease. He also takes amiodarone, s/l Trazadec, Toprol, Ambien, Cozaar, and Effexor."

Patient is getting back on his medications and will be following up with his psychiatrist Dr. X.  They are due within the next few weeks, he says, to recheck his Depakote levels, (Dr. take a drink and says)S/L hemolith normal.  (new paragraph) 
not sure, here's the paragraph...
Subject: not sure, here's the paragraph...

Neurologic exam/history and physical exam does reveal the patient with parkinsonian features.  We are going to go ahead and change him from Sinemet 25/100 mg to Stalevo 100 mg, one in the morning and one at midday, since he really only takes it twice a day.  If this does not help, we may try going back to the Sinemet and then trying Azilect for the freezing.  I think that may be of great benefit to him, despite the MALB inhibitor.

Patient recently had a positive culture infection with group B strep. He was treated with some Cipro and he says he is actually voiding better now than he has for some time. He probably has been having a little small "ring" prostatitis going on.

Subject: paragraph punctuation help..please...

MRI scan indicates status post patellar tendon, bone, and anterior cruciate ligament construction, cystic degeneration of the graft with little remaining low signal fibers is noted, tendon enlargement in the tibial tunnel with cystic erosion through the anterior cortex medially to the patellar tendon, extension into the anterior subcutaneous fat of the proximal right lower leg.

Note the doctor does say construction, not reconstruction can this also be correct? TIA.

Subject: I found one paragraph re patients ...sm

not sure but I found one paragraph thru google about dacron wool........being used on a patient:


Once cooling to -79 C was complete the patient was lifted out of the Silcool bath, the outer, Silcool wetted plastic bag was stripped off and the patient was placed within a polyester cloth bag which was in turn placed inside a standard aluminum neurocan which had been precooled to -90  and packed with dacron
wool.  Temperature probes were left externalized to the neurocan for subsequent cooling to -196 C.


I don't really think this is going to help you though but I tried!!

Subject: Based on the following paragraph written by

Vanderbilt University in relationship to Troubleshooting PICC problems, in particular; "My patient's arm is red, swollen, and/or painful."
A. How does the arm look in comparison to the arm without a PICC line.
B. If redness is involved, is it a red streak up the arm along the vein tract.
C. If swelling is involved, what is the difference in the girth of the two arms.

Your sound-alike brings to my mind: gorge; as engorged. Definition: gorge, glut; especially: to fill with blood to the point of congestion. Just an educated guess though. Good luck.

This paragraph shows AZT for baby -see message
Subject: This paragraph shows AZT for baby -see message

If an HIV positive woman is taking AZT then it will probably be recommended that her baby is given AZT (usually as a syrup) for the first six weeks of its life starting 8-12 hours after birth. Alternatively, if the mother has taken AZT and 3TC during labour then an effective regime for the baby would be one week of AZT and 3TC.

If only limited AZT is available then one week of AZT can be given to the baby. If only single dose AZT is available then the baby can have this combined with a single dose of NVP, and if no AZT is available then the baby can have a single dose of NVP to help protect it.
Here is the paragraph for the s/l line infection evaluation..
Subject: Here is the paragraph for the s/l line infection evaluation..

Patient here today for a post-op s/l line infection evaluation.  She has been doing daily wet to dry dressing changes and today the wound breadown area is less than a cm across and with probing with a Q-tip will not extend any greater than 2 cm in the area.  I do not think that this continues to require any packing.  I have recommended that she just keep gauze over the area for the drainage.  thank you
