Interstital tissue and pelves need headings?

Subject: Interstital tissue and pelves need headings?


Spleen: The spleen has a thin fibrous capsule. Malpighian bodies are indistinct the sinusoids are moderately widened.



Liver: Sections of the liver show a thin fibrous capsule. Multiple small fatty vacuoles are noted in the cytoplasm. Portal spaces are fairly small in size. There is mild widening of the sinusoids in the central zones.



Kidneys: The kidneys have a thin capsule. The cortices that show glomeruli of normal appearance. The tubules are not remarkable.



Interstitial tissue showed no note worthy change. The pelves are not remarkable.


 


In this instance.. does the interstitial tissue and pelves need their own headings.. or is this correct?? Thanks

Headings

Newbie here.  If a doc dictates a laboratory data and lists lab values, then talks about x-rays and ekgs, do you include that in the lab section or make a separate heading for x-rays and ekgs (what would you title that section?).  Thanks for any info.


Headings
Subject: Headings

I am transcribing a History & Physical Examination Report  (Neurology)


The headings confuse me terribly.  What would the heading be for the following: 


Orientation and language are normal fundi with sharp disks bilaterally.


I have the following: 


NEUROLOGIC:   Patient walks to the right occasionally. She has trouble getting started because of discomfort. She can walk on heels and toes briefly. However, on tandem walk she really has difficulty with that. She does not line up her toes easily and loses her balance very easily with that.  (Is that the correct heading?)


Also, does anyone have a good website for determining headings?

Subject: not an answer on headings, but

Sorry, I don't have a quick answer about your headings, but I wanted to let you know that your first sentence should be 2 sentences: Orientation and language are normal. Fundi with sharp disks bilaterally. (Fundi and disks/discs refer to the eyes, nothing to do with orientation or language.) Good luck with the headings - I still get confused sometimes on them too if I don't have a specific format to follow.

Anyone ever heard of a "tongue" of intestinalized tissue.  Pnt has Barret's and is having an EGD and twice I heard what sounds like "tongue" of tissue.

2.  On withdrawing the scope the patient's GE junction was regular with a tongue of pink tissue extending less than 2 cm.
