hyper vs hypoparathyroidism, pls sm
Subject: hyper vs hypoparathyroidism, pls sm

We discussed the risks, benefits, and alternatives of proceeding with parathyroidectomy with the risks including but not limited to the possibilities of permanent hyperparathyroidism and possible recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.

Is hyperparathyroidism correct or should it be hypo? TIA

Hyper vs. hypocoagulable disorder
Subject: Hyper vs. hypocoagulable disorder

I have a doc with a british accent and I can't make out if he is saying "hypocoagulable disorder" or "hypercoagulable disorder". If the patient had DVT or clot I would default to hypercoagulable, but this patient has excessive menstrual bleeding, so I am thinking hypocoagulable. However, when I look it all up on the net, references all seem to be "hypercoagulable" regardless if it's excessive bleeding or clot. Does anyone out there know which it should be? Thanks.

It is yet unclear as to whether or not an improved remission; i.e., a complete remission prior to autotransplant is associated with improved outcome, although it appears likely given the data from several studies indicating that an autotransplant after hyperC vat or salvage chemotherapy for those who do not enter complete remission with CHOP-R is associated with a better outcome than those transplanted in partial remission.

Hypo, hyper, macro, micro
I'm a long-time MT and I still have a problem telling hypo from hyper, hypothyroid from  hyperthyroid,  macro from micro, etc....unless it's very obvious from the content of the dictation which is a lot of times isn't.    Another difficulty is the lab values...it's hard to tell 15 or 50, 20 from 30.  I leave blanks and then I see where QA fills them in.  So, I don't know if my hearing is getting bad or if they or just guessing.  Or, they may have access to othe lab values from previous dictation.  So I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with other MT's. Maybe I need to have my hearing checked.

I'm typing neuro exam:  Motor exam:  ...deconditioning and *involutional* atrophy of age.


When I *Googled* involutional atrophy, I got all these hits to member-protected medical websites; go figure... (just a little vent on the word board here).


Anyway, anyone familiar with this term? TIA.


Villous atrophy
Subject: Villous atrophy

I believe the doctor is saying true villous atrophy.  I'm not sure if the true part is right or if there's another word.  The doctor took biopsies of the duodenum and says they did find blunting and inflammation (if additional information is needed).  TIA.

I found the same thing myself. I did use the cephal atrophy, but I may be all wrong, maybe not. It is in the same sentence (a run-on btw), that is talking about possible neuropathy. Really just doesn't make sense to me.
