under needle there is BD spinal and right under that is Beath and a little further down is Beeth.
I understand for verying and yes, it is confusing when you see it spelled 2 different ways, but I do type Ortho reports on a daily basis and I have been told Beath. Also when I Google Beath needle there is a section under Shoulder Arthroscopy, books.google.com and the article is highlighting Beath pin and then Beath needle is there. This might help for verification.

Subject: I believe "to the fourth" would be a superscript, but a lot of times
you cannot type it that way because when the report is uploaded to the hospital system, it won't recognize codes like subscript and superscript. So how you've typed it, 8 x 10 to the 4th power, would be correct in that case.

FYI-AAMT BOS, edition 2
Subject: FYI-AAMT BOS, edition 2
 Just thought I would pass on some information recently sent to me.
AAMT BOS (Book of Style), 2nd edition
periods
Do not use periods within or at the end of most abbreviations, including acronyms, abbreviated units of measure, and brief forms. Use a period at the end of abbreviated English units of measure if they may be misread without the period. Better still, write out most English units of measure, thereby avoiding this use of a period at the end of an abbreviation.
wbc
WBC
mg
exam
prep
inch preferred to in. (Do not use in meaning inch without a period.)
However, use periods in lowercase drug-related abbreviations.
b.i.d.
q.4 h. = note it is "q.4" and then a space before the "h."
p.o.
p.r.n.
If a sentence terminates with an abbreviation that requires a period, do not add another period.
He takes Valium 5 mg q.a.m.
not He takes Valium 5 mg q.a.m..
plurals
Use a lowercase s without an apostrophe to form the plural of capitalized abbreviations, acronyms, and brief forms.
EEGs
PVCs
CABGs
exams
Use 's to form the plural of lowercase abbreviations.
rbc's
Use 's to form the plural of single-letter abbreviations.
X's
Hyphens and adjectives

The patient is a 33-year-old.
