Subject: Sitz mark study

I just need to know what to capitalize and if it is 2 words "sitz mark" or "sitzmark".


I have seen it different ways: Sitzmark,  SitzMark,  Sitz-Mark, and just plain sitz mark.

Subject: s/l mark-type pigmentation?

On the physical exam in the category of extremities, the doctor says "The patient has bilateral chronic stasis changes in the lower extremities.  There is associated [s/l mark-type profigmentation] with no edema, erythema or warmth"


I'm assuming the "profigmentation" is maybe pigmentation that he just stumbled on but I'm not positive on that.  The patient was being seen for bilateral lower extremity recurrent cellulitis.


Any ideas?

Using a question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty sm
BOS says:
Use an ending question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty.

Sometimes, particularly with diagnoses, a question mark is placed before a
statement in order to indicate uncertainty.

Placement either before or after the questionable material is acceptable, but
do not place the question mark both before and after.

Ex:

His cholesterol levels were high normal (or minimally elevated?).

D: Diagnosis: Angina question mark
T: Diagnosis: Angina?
or Diagnosis: ?Angina.
not Diagnosis: ?Angina?

Note: There is no space after the question mark in ?Angina.

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.

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)
