ileal conduit
Subject: ileal conduit
Not even Stedman's GI/GU books? My QA marked me off as a large deduction for putting ileal conduit and marked should be ileoconduit.

urinary diversion, but also lists ileoconduit.
Vera Pyle's 10th edition says:
"ileal conduit (not ileoconduit or ileo conduit)..." and goes on to describe the ileal conduit with regard to the segment of ileum used as a urinary reservoir in patients who have had cystectomy.

Per Stedman's GI/GU 3rd Edition, ileoconduit is correct.

Vera Pyle's Current Medical Terminology 7th edition says ileal conduit NOT ileoconduit. Does anyone know if this has changed to be accepted.
It's always been ileal conduit, ileoconduit is not a word that I can reference except on google.

Does anyone have a GI/GU book that lists ileoconduit? My QA does not like to be proved wrong. She took a large deduction for my putting ileal conduit. I am sending a QA review to have it looked at again, but she always comes up with a reference book from somewhere that has her word listed, so I'm just trying to save myself all the headache of submitting a QA review to find out it is listed somewhere ileoconduit.

Nuclear Cardiology
The Nuclear Cardiology Laboratory performs stress testing with and without cardiac imaging. Cardiac scintigraphy includes perfusion and functional imaging at rest and with physical or pharmacological stress. The section performs single isotope cardiac studies individualized to the needs of the patient and the referring physician. The laboratory can perform gated SPECT imaging to provide perfusion and functional assessment of myocardial viability in the short, horizontal, and vertical long axes. In addition to four SPECT cameras, the section has multi-crystal cameras for first pass angiography at rest or with exercise. The following studies can be done with exercise or pharmacological stress, with or without gated SPECT imaging: thallium-201 perfusion imaging; thallium-201/technetium-99m sestamibi perfusion and functional imaging, and technetium-99m sestamibi perfusion imaging with or without functional assessment. Positron emission tomography for tumor identification or myocardial viability is available following telephone consultation with one of the physicians.
http://www.csmc.edu/8490.html
Like the thallium scan, the sestamibi scan shows how well supplied with blood and oxygen your heart is. Sestamibi refers to the type of radioactive isotope used in this test to make the flow of blood visible. Thallium and sestamibi stress tests are more accurate and informative than a standard exercise stress test.
As with the thallium test, you will be connected to an electrocardiogram. You will be asked to exercise as hard as you can on a treadmill or bicycle. (If your doctor thinks that exercise is not safe for you or that you will not be able to exercise hard enough because of bone or joint problems, you will be given a drug that has the same effect on your heart as exercising.)

For newer MTs or those who may be struggling with terminology from one who has been there - please do not rely on the internet for your research. there is a great deal of incorrect information out there. There is no substitute for good reference books. A good drug book, dictionary, phrase index would be a good start and a surgery word book is always helpful is you are doing work that involves that. These would probably answer many of those things that stump you. Also, vera pyles's Current Medical Terminology, which just published a new version this year, is a great help with new terms. Hope this info helps someone!

person, even one person from a Cannabis site! The MRI info was probably keyed in by a lay person also. There no reference for "brachioplexy" in any Stedman's reference, any Dorland's reference, Taber's or even in the rxlist.
Did you notice the other misspellings in the Google listings?
Brachioplexy makes no sense. It's brachial plexus, brachial plexopathy.
Best not to be facetious with an MT with over 30 years' experience, with a 99-100% QA rating at all times.
You still didn't define "brachioplexy" which is what I asked.
No wonder we're losing our work to a foreign country.

all amounts are to be transcribed as singular when abbreviated, so it does not matter if "approximately" is used it is always 10 cc of fluid was aspirated (and/or injected).
Obviously if it is dictated "a total of 10 cc..." it is WAS because "total" is the subject. Also, even if the dictation was "10 cc of fluidS..." it would still be was because the unit of measurement is the subject of the sentence and is abbreviated.

I want to tell you that Dorland is a little outdated and oldfashiomed.
This is NOT an EXCEPTION, this I can tell you, because I studied Latin.
It is decubitus / decubiti
or
decubitus ulcer / decubitus ulcers.
The OP said that the doctor dictated 'decubiti'. If this is on top of it a 'verbatim' account and she types decubitus, whereas the doctor dictated 'decubiti', then she WILL REALLY BE IN TROUBLE.
IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT !
And why do you threaten me?

including Dorland's 29th ed and there is no inframedial per se. Just looking into One Look dictionary to do a wide search of online dictionaries, it is not even listed as a medical term. I know it sounds like a real word, inframedial, inferior of the midline, but in all my years, it has been inferomedial for me.
