My Stedman's ortho book has main listing "tendinitis" with subentries under this spelling. It also has "tendonitis" as a "variant of tendinitis" with no subentries. As backup I checked Vera Pyle and the entry in the silver book is as follows:

Subject: What is considered term pregnancy?
I have a dictator that said, "The child was born at term. Mom was 24 weeks' gestation." I always thought term was somewhere around 36+ weeks. He went on to say the birth weight was 6 pounds 13 ounces. Just from experience, I would think a 24-week gestation infant would not weigh that much.

overread vs over-read vs over read
Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read
OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

Many years ago, I typed tendonitis on a report and the orthopod almost pecked me to the wall and said it was "tendinitis" and that is what he wanted to see in his reports. Other docs prefer tendonitis..sooo....as far as the rule goes, spell it like the client wants it typed (they both mean the same thing).

Tendinitis: Because this word is based on the Latin word tendo, with a genitive singular form of tendinis, and a combining form that is therefore tendin, the spelling tendonitis is irregular.

Caesarean section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Caesarian section)
Jump to: navigation, search
A caesarean section (AE cesarean section), or c-section, is a form of childbirth in which a surgical incision is made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life at risk, although in the last decade it has been performed upon request.
