cor
The muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood. C. Adiposum a heart that has undergone fatty degeneration or that has an accumulation of fat around it, also called fat or fatty, heart. C. Arteriosum the left side of the heart, so called because it contains oxygenated (arterial) blood. C. Biloculare a congenital anomaly characterised by failure of formation of the atrial and ventricular septums, the heart having only two chambers, a single atrium and a single ventricle and a common atrioventricular valve. C. Bovinum (L. Ox heart) a greatly enlarged heart due to a hypertrophied left ventricle, also called c. Taurinum and bucardia. C. Dextrum (L. Right heart) the right atrium and ventricle. C. Hirsutum, c. Villosum. C. Mobile (obs.) an abnormally movable heart. C. Pendulum a heart so movable that it seems to be hanging by the great blood vessels. C. Pseudotriloculare biatriatum a congenital cardiac anomaly in which the heart functions as a three chambered heart because of tricuspid atresia, the right ventricle being extremely small or rudimentary and the right atrium greatly dilated. Blood passes from the right to the left atrium and thence disease due to pulmonary hypertension secondary to disease of the lung or its blood vessels, with hypertrophy of the right ventricle.

This one's stumping me after 15 years of experience... medical student dictating a report on social history:
The patient drinks one martini a day. The patient denies tobacco use. The patient denies ___________ (s/l - no kidding - really - "beetle nuts.")
Diagnosis is squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth - ENT tumor board report. Thought it could be something to do with chewing tobacco - something of that nature, definitely not saying "drug abuse."
Any ideas? I did leave a blank, but I'm hoping someone might put my mind back on the right page... beetle nuts? Give me a break. 
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

He says he will try to give her samples as much as possible to make up for the s/l *underage* (not under age) of what the insurance allows her per month. This isn't a verbatim account, so I can use another word, but I just can't think of what to use.

Primer on Radiation Measurement
In the aftermath of a radiological emergency the public will see radiation and its potential hazards described in many different and sometimes confusing ways. This primer is intended to help journalists and community leaders understand these terms.
Activity or radioactivity is measured by the number of atoms disintegrating per unit time. A becquerel is 1 disintegration per second. A curie is 37 billion disintegrations per second, which is the number of disintegrations per second in 1 gram of pure radium. A disintegrating atom can emit a beta particle, an alpha particle, a gamma ray, or some combination of all these, so becquerels or curies alone do not provide enough information to assess the risk to a person from a radioactive source.
Disintegrating atoms emit different forms of radiation–—alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, or x-rays. As radiation moves through the body, it dislodges electrons from atoms, disrupting molecules. Each time this happens, the radiation loses some energy until it escapes from the body or disappears. The energy deposited indicates the number of molecules disrupted. The energy the radiation deposits in tissue is called the dose, or more correctly, the absorbed dose. The units of measure for absorbed dose are the gray (1 joule per kilogram of tissue) or the rad (1/100 of a gray). The cumulative dose is the total absorbed dose or energy deposited by the body or a region of the body from repeated or prolonged exposures.
Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and x-rays affect tissue in different ways. Alpha particles disrupt more molecules in a shorter distance than gamma rays. A measure of the biologic risk of the energy deposited is the dose equivalent. The units of dose equivalent are sieverts or rem. Dose equivalent is calculated by multiplying the absorbed dose by a quality factor.
Sometimes a large number of people have been exposed to a source of ionizing radiation. To assess the potential health effects, scientists often multiply the exposure per person by the number of persons and call this the collective dose. Collective dose is expressed as “person-rem” or “person-sieverts.”

PET SCAN 03/08/08: Reveals intense hypermetabolism corresponding to the mass in the left mid lung field posteriorly, abutting in the left major fizure predominantly in the superior segment of the left lower lobe. This same type of metabolism corresponding to the right middle lobe pulmonary nodule previously noted activity in the lower neck anteriorly (06/28/06) has since resolved.

Heart Rhythms - Please SM
Subject: Heart Rhythms - Please SM
I have a doctor who very distinctly dictates that the heart is "regularly regular" - for just about every single patient. I don't think this is how it should be typed and I have been leaving blanks.
Is there a "regularly regular" rhythm - wouldn't it just be "regular"? He is not saying any of the other rhythms, i.e. irregularly irregular, regularly irregular, etc.
Thanks for any input.
