tooth shaped from injury or what have you. And like I said 9 times out of 10, odontoid refers to the "toothlike odontoid process in the second cervical vertebra." That's pretty specific, dontcha think? I've never heard a doctor refer to an "odontoid" in any other part of the body.

I have always been taught ESWL stood for electric shock wave lithotripsy. However, I stumbled upon a web site today for says ESWL stands for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Are these interchangeable?? Which do you use when your doc just says "ESWL" and you need to expand it?
Thanks for any info!
Correct expansion of CPK

CPK stands for CREATINE phosphokinase. Use of CREATININE phosphokinase to stand for CPK is a common mistake made by many docs and MTs. I don't think a CPK level would be a first-round test for fatigue.

they put in tissue expanders before actually doing the tissue expansion in which patients return for fills to the expanders until they are at a proper volume, usually at which point the expanders get changed out for permanent implants (gel or saline).

but since mibi is usually the part heard, make an expansion with that, then you will be able to see that word that is on the tip of your tongue. I do that with certain medications, instruments and procedures that I often forget. I make the expansion from what I usually hear, then sometimes back it up with a better description of the correct term. Good thing the expansion programs have a lot of memory cause my brain seems to get overloaded or just downright DUH some days! Glad we could help you!

I use SmartType and something similar happened to me regarding the gobbling up and the hour glass going crazy. I ended up getting more computer memory and it quit happening. Also, if Word 2003 is bundled with MicroSoft Works or MicroSoft Office, it will also happen.

I do have CTS but ortho MDs say not to operate for another 10 years (til I'm way up there in age). I find I have thumb pain (for decades) from hitting the space bar too hard with my thumb. I had cortisone shots into the thumb for years (one shot lasted 10 years in one thumb and the other shots didn't work at all in the other thumb).
Hope you feel better!
