What are the combining forms?
Subject: What are the combining forms?
I can't find anything even when I separate it out like the OP said. I would like to learn what this word means if somebody could help me out. Should it be xanth with an h instead of just xant? Even trying that, I am still stuck.
correct forms
Subject: correct forms
Staph aureus (notice Staph is capitalized; a period is not necessary)
postop (no period)
When you have a 2-word bacteria name, the first word is capitalized generally. The second word is generally not capitalized.
A Stedman's manual for Infectious Disease words is quite useful for these words.
Klebsiella
Staphylococcus
Streptococcus
Escherichia coli
I could go on... But I won't because I'm tired and the Canadian is helping me feel no pain... ;)
Cheers!

use of bilateral with pleural forms
Subject: use of bilateral with pleural forms
That's always ben a puzzle to me too, but I think that either way might be acceptable. The qualifying adjective (bilateral) suggests an "augmentation" was performed on both sides, and more often than not, MDs will dictate singular nouns following bilateral. Sometimes, though, if it sounds strange, I will use the pleural, i.e., one of my docs says "bilateral lower extremity" which I change to extremities. Would be interested in further input or if AAMT has a directive on this.

Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's
Subject: Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's
AAMT says to drop the possessive form with eponymic terms such as Down syndrome, Tinel sign, Lachman sign, etc. However, when used without "test" or "sign," do you add an 's. i.e. "He has a negative Tinel's," or should it be "He has a negative Tinel." Another one is Speed sign. It sounds wierd to put "He has a negative Speed." Thanks so much!!

I did find this listing the different patterns (from labtestsonline.org):
ANA shows up on indirect immunofluorescence as fluorescent patterns in cells that are fixed to a slide that is evaluated under a microscope. Different patterns are associated with a variety of autoimmune disorders. Some of the more common patterns include:
Homogenous (diffuse) - associated with SLE and mixed connective tissue disease
Speckled - associated with SLE, Sjogren’s syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and mixed connective tissue disease
Nucleolar - associated with scleroderma and polymyositis
Outline pattern (peripheral) -associated with SLE
