Two questions on lung cancer patient report
Subject: Two questions on lung cancer patient report

My questions are in two sentences one after the other.  Sometimes he says period but then really continues on with the same sentence, so I'm not sure if the first sentence is really a complete sentence or not, so the sentence before basically said a PET scan revealed an increase in the size of the hypermetabolic subcarinal lymph node, consistent with subcarinal metastases. 


1.  "Stable [s/l lock laid right] pleural fluid thickening, but the associated hypermetabolism has resolved."  This could maybe be "stable likely right pleural," but I'm not sure if that makes sense and I think I'm hearing a "d" at the end.


2.  "There was a small right level 2 node that has become [s/l non rye valk] consistent with an evolving inflammatory process."

presents for evaluation of chronic cough with peripheral eosinophilia and abnormal CT of the chest, per report (thickening of the bronchial wall).  The constellation of findings is suspicious for chronic eosinophilic pneumonia or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.  However, the patient does not have a prior history of asthma and per report, the chest x-ray or chest CT did not show any pulmonary infiltrates.  She does not have an extensive history of travel to suggest “ham et ic” infection.  However, she traveled through Brazil many years ago.  The IgE levels are elevated but not the point to suggest allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. 


 


MRI, s/l in ofen ocious metastatic focus
Subject: MRI, s/l in ofen ocious metastatic focus

MRI of the brain did show a 6-mm area of restricted diffusion involving the midline aspects of the splenium of the corpus callosum, which was representing an acute to subacute infarct process. Was less likely to be considered for a metastatic focus. Right-sided parietal calvarial 7-mm lesions were also noted, suggestive of an s/l inofenocious metastatic focus.

Subject: 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated

She states that she is unable to eat, continues to lose weight, and is having bouts of vomiting.  She did have her 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated that on the first night when she had vomited after her procedure, there were some episodes of breakthrough acid; however, the following day when she was tolerating a diet and had her AcipHex, her pH was well controlled, above a pH of 4, essentially the entire time.  Therefore, I discussed with the patient that her chest burning does not appear to be correlated with breakthrough acid of any significant degree and suggests the possibility that a lot of her chest pain and burning may be related to her anxiety and depression.

Lung disease

This is exactly how the Dr. dictated it-- The patient is a plethoric, tremulous, dyspneac looking like a patient with chronic obstructive lung disease or sleep apnea.


Did she mean to leave the a out before plethoric? That would make more sense but I know you guys would no better than I. I'm still in school and learning. Thanks for the help!
