for years i've been using low-back pain as a pain of the low back


just like i've been using small-bowel disease as a disease of the small bowel


i figured that the "low" and the "small" refer to the "back" and the "bowel," respectively, but i'm so open to the reasoning why it should not be hyphenated....


since they're terms i use every single day, i would really appreciate clarification....


thanks!

TL study?
Subject: TL study?

Could he be talking about TL-201, or Thallous Chloride? It's used for heart studies. See if any of this info sounds like your patient:

Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection may be useful in myocardial perfusion imaging using either planar or SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) techniques for the diagnosis and localization of myocardial infarction. It may also have prognostic value regarding survival, when used in the clinically stable patient following the onset of symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction, to assess the site and size of the perfusion defect.
Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection is indicated also for the localization of sites of parathyroid hyperactivity in patients with elevated serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. It may also be useful in pre-operative screening to localize extrathyroidal and mediastinal sites of parathyroid hyperactivity and for postsurgical reexamination.
okay, same doc, lab study
Subject: okay, same doc, lab study

This guy stumps me on this one lab value, always in the 220s to 230s.  He dictates the patient's SMA-7 sodium 141, potassium 3.7, chloride 103, __________ 230, sounds like total,and then goes on to BUN and creatinine.  Anybody got a clue what the blank value might represent?  thanks! (again)
