Pulmonology/Diagnostic terms??

I just can't find this in my resources:

On CT it was a 2.5-cm lobulated density with *s/l glucose aved*, which was read as 70% probability of showing neoplasm.

Thanks.

If you keep a notebook with alphabetical tabs, you could make yourself a heading under SIGN, and you could also enter the word under all letters it might be pronounced as.  That's what I used to do.  Saved a lot of time in the long run, especially when you don't have enough information about the patient's problem to know what system or body part they are checking.   

I have 2 dermatology - I am usually not a derm girl, so any help is MUCH appreciated.

Assessment:  Nevus s/l: roo-let-ee s/l: tip-e-er midabdomen.  (Nevus ruletti tipiar midabdomen)?? AND:

s/l: Dermatified (or dromatified) broma right shin.  She uses this phrase in a previous sentence:

On his right shin he has superficial change that appears like a dermatified broma; however, it is not as nodular beneath the shin, but it is definitely excoriated or irritated on the surface. 

I just cannot find any info on these two - sorry this is so long.  I am covering for someone and would prefer not to send to the editor!!  TIA

nevus, rule out atypia, midabdomen

dermatofibroma

I have been assigned some work to help the office "catch up" and this is not my normal assignment.  Can someone help me with ventilator terminology??  I may be far off, but here is what I think I am hearing.

Thanks for any help or direction for a site with this info.

Here is the question - how do you type the word "stat"  meaning immediately?  Its a latin derivitive like n.p.o. , p.r.n. etc, and those are typed in lower case with periods.  So would it be "stat."    I have also seen it typed STAT  with no period.  I can't find it anywhere to back up my choice.  Any ideas???  Or where to look??
