Polysomnography help needed (sm)

I don't do this type of report much and the doctor is giving the sleep analysis, saying lights out "094214" and lights on "053739."  How is this to be broken up, or is it.  I keep thinking "09:42:14 / 05:37:39" but that doesn't make sense to me, or is it just as I have it first typed?  Help please.  TIA

PAST MEDICAL HISTORY

1.      Gynecologic – G3, P2, 1 miss.  She had been followed by Dr. XXXXXXXX   Her last Pap smear was approximately two years ago, as was mammogram.  Menses are on a q 28-30 day cycle, but there are periods where she will skip and have a menses q.o. month.

Need help with words in bold.  Thank you.

SKIN:  Lots of seborrheic keratoses.  He does have an elevated 9 mm papule on left side of the face, which has some vascularization and central core.  It almost looks like acanthokeratosis, but basal cell carcinoma cannot be fully ruled out.  No other suspicious lesions.  He does have some miliary rubra on the back. 

leiomyoma, singular; leiomyomata, pleural. Leiomyomatas is not a word.

My doctor keeps saying psoricytic arthritis. I transcribe for him a lot, but this is what he is saying.

I am thinking he means psoriatic arhtritis. What do you think?

Doing a rotator cuff tear repair.  two words 

Procedure: 1) Left shoulder arthroscopy, subacromial decompression with MINIMUMFER?  procedure.

the left upper extremity was prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner utliizing 8 pounds of traction in the ARTHREX?? arm holder?

THANKS

This is a 4-year-old with metabolic-type cardiomyopathy who required "Amikin chest tube treatment".

I see that Amikin is an antibiotic, but do not feel comfortable with the references I have found with chest tube and/or cardiomyopathy. I would appreciate any opinions on this. Thanks!

The past medical history is HIV, hepatitis C, underlying asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The drug sounds like cyclobid 1 tablet b.i.d. It is as clear as anything but can't document it anywhere. He kind of botches drug names up sometimes so wondering if this is the case here.

Thanks!

....internal fixation of a left tibia fracture following an open Grade II fracture....  *Is this acceptable Grade II?*  Should it be grade 2.  I've tried googling, but the opinions of my wise peers is more what I am looking for in this instance.     

Regarding a spine fusion.  My question is with what sounds like "T-Liff"

We talked about doing the procedure only either just with a posterolateral fusion or with a posterolateral fusion and "T-liff". 

Any help would be appreciated!

Has anyone heard of s/l "bi-par-tayed" tibial sesamoid?  The "bi-par-tayed" is the one I cannot reference.....

Thanks!

If you are embarrassed by this type of comment, you should NOT be in this business.
